I know you can challenge a spot when a player is getting tackled, but can you challenge a spot when they're diving out of bounds?
Yes you can cause we challenged that exact thing in 2004 sunday night game against the Eagles and that play if he just looks at McCardell we have a 20 to 25 yard gain but you know what we were 3-2 in 2005 and made the playoffs. A win this week and we are back on tracik but we have to win this week. Cause we are now 3rd with the Giants winning.

not true.....a wildcard team would not have attempted that.....maybe a 25% chance suisham hits that....and a 30% chance of a bad snap or fumble.....rabach wasnt even in
rabach isn't the long snapper.

Since al sauders has been here i haven't seen not 1 bit of explosion in the offense. still can't score but 14-20 points a game. talked so high about him and paying him so much and no results. time to turn the next page of that 700 page play book dont ya think?

About Saunders and his playbook: if you drop passes, fumble, overthrow open guys deep, and fail to make and follow blocks, yeah, you can't score but 14-21 a game.
An offense can't convert 3rd and 4th and short, and we want to blame the coaches. WRs drop the ball and it's the playbook is too big. JC overthrows deep WRs and it's Gibbs is too conservative, Saunders is too complex. I'm tired of this. Step and make a damn play out there. The offense works fine--it worked elsewhere and it works here, when its executed.

SC Skins, I understand your logic, but look at it this way, we challenge the spot, it gets overturned, the Skins pick up an extra yard or yard and a half, they STILL get charged a timeout because they don't get the first, but now you have 4th a 1/2 and not 4th and 2. Net result.... you gained 1 yard to 1 1/2 yards during the timeout you were going to take anyway? Ok, I saw this and thought this during the game, not now on Monday afternoon. I don't get paid millions to tell Gibbs to challenge, but someone does!!! Why don't they see these things that we all see?
It sounds that simple but to do that we would have had to let the clock keep running while our people up in the booth had a chance to review the play and then the spot of the ball. That would have run allot of time off the clock and we may have then decided that is was not worth a challange and then had to burn a time out still. We cannot call a time out then ask for a review because then we would have been charged with another time out.
