The Heyer penalty was complete and utter bullsh*t. The play was not over, and everybody is taught to go full bore and block anyone you can until the whistle is blown. On the replay, Campbell was avoiding a defender and just did get the ball out as Heyer put the block on Dockett.
I do not fault Heyer one bit on that play.
I thought it was BS at first but on the replay it looked like he might have gotten the buy from behind.
Touchy call I agree, but I thought the PI on Rogers was even more ticky-tacky.
GMScud 09-21-2008, 09:49 PM If Heyer doesn't commit that dumb penalty it could have been 31-17. I honestly was never that concerned about the Skins losing this game at any point.
Yeah, although we got 2 huge gifts from the officials as well, so it's hard to complain. The two TDs called back (1 for each time) even out I guess, but the no-call on Rogers INT was pass interference on Torrence.
That said I REALLY wanted Devin Thomas to catch his first TD as a Redskin today. Oh well.

I know, I was so excited on that play. It feels like he just needs a play like that to get some confidence going.

I agree. You can see why we drafted him as far as skills are concerned. He just needs to settle in and get a few big confidence type plays (and be a little more subtle with his push-offs).
On the season now JC's QB rating is 100.1

Beemnseven 09-21-2008, 10:12 PM Hey 4thGenRedskin, where was the Redskins blowout you were touting all week? That was a very, very close game. I called it, BDBohnzie called it, and you said something along the lines of, "come talk to me after we destroy Arizona..."
Well??
Looking "this good" ?? We could have easily lost that game and barely had 100 yards at halftime. The Rogers INT came on a play that was pass interference on Leigh Torrence and not called, and they had an easy TD called back on a delay of game that was called with 1 second remaining on the playclock.
We beat two very, very mediocre defenses by a narrow margin in our house. I like 2-1, but I'm far from thrilled.
I know this -- when they go to Dallas next week, the offense can't fall into a mid-afternoon slumber for a quarter and a half the way they did today. Just imagine what the point total would have been if the intensity level stayed the same throughout the first half?
I think this offense has incredible potential -- it's shaping up to be more than we ever saw during Gibbs II. They seem to be learning this system at an accelerated rate and Campbell looks like he's getting more comfortable.
That said, there are still kinks to be ironed out. The running game got stymied today, and you cannot discount the fact that the Saints, who were missing three starters on defense, and the Cardinals might not be the stiffest tests for any offense. The Eagles D was downright scary today. And the Cowboys front seven is incredibly fast.
Still, they're taking care of business against mediocre opponents, and that's one of the marks of a good team.
53Fan 09-21-2008, 10:40 PM Can you imagine JC 2-3 years in this system? Is'nt it funny how the haters who were saying he was stupid and would never make it as an NFL quarterback have mysteriously gone silent. So quick to judge, then so quick to hide. Maybe they can progress in their thinking as Jason has in this offense. Maybe now when he makes mistakes, which he will at times, seeing how he has only played 3 games in this offense, and after all, he is only human. Maybe they will understand more about patience and understand " It is better to be silent and thought of a fool, then to open ones mouth and remove all doubt" These same people who are ready to call someone out, need to take accountability for their own remarks. See Jason can't hide, he doe'st have that luxury. Man up haters.

I agree on the Rogers call...but Heyer hit the man in the front of his pads, it wasn't Heyer's fault his head was turned and he appeared to quit on the play. There is no doubt that was a blown call. Yet Hochuli is getting crucified? There is nothing in the books about not hitting a guy that decided to mentally quit. Besides, the call was "hands to the face", and there was no hands to face at all.
Rajmahal33 09-21-2008, 11:30 PM I am a strong believer in the fact that things are never as good or as bad as they seem (esp. not right after a game). So in that spirit, one area i thought JC needs to improve upon big time is his consistency throughout ENTIRE game. There are going to be games when our defense is going to need a breather, and consecutive 3 & outs aren't going to be acceptable if we want to win. He needs to work on taking what he can and audibling when we need to keep drives alive. Along with that we have been leaving a lotta points out on the field and settling for FG's (esp after a turnover).
Overall he played excellently against a challenging defense and kept pace with a high powered offense. Hope we don't see the Dr. Jekyll side of Campbell on the road the next few weeks.
Southpaw 09-21-2008, 11:31 PM The Rogers INT came on a play that was pass interference on Leigh Torrence and not called, and they had an easy TD called back on a delay of game that was called with 1 second remaining on the playclock.
This is off the topic of the thread, but Torrence was not called, because in spite of the fact that he ran into the receiver, he had his eye on the ball the entire time, and contact is legal if the defender is playing the ball.
And I didn't notice time on the clock on the Cardinals touchdown that was called back, but I'm fairly certain that calls relating to the clock are challengable, so if Wisenhunt saw the same thing that you did, he would have challenged it.
