hooskins 09-22-2008, 11:15 PM Yeah he got there early but on the same token I think they called Los for PI on a crucial 3rd down for them and from what I saw on that replay it was a complete BS call. Point is, they had a few go they're way too.
Sure, and Devin Thomas really didn't push off compared to other receivers, but that doesnt change the fact we might have gotten a bit lucky it wasn't called because it seemed like an obvious call to me.
CRedskinsRule 09-22-2008, 11:18 PM Really? Go back and look at it. The reason it looked overthrown was because Fletch knocked him over before it got there. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad there was no flag, but I think there should have been.
It was within the first five yards of the line of scrimmage if that makes a difference. I think it does, but that was a heck of a hit.
hooskins 09-22-2008, 11:19 PM hmm, this and the heyer penalty, wow I really need to brush up on the NFL Rulebook because I have no idea.

Not only did he get there early but it looked like he kinda just decked him before the ball got there. Granted it was within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage, but that couldn't have been legal.
Yeah, that PI on Carlos on that 3rd down was really ticky tack.

It makes a difference as far as contact is concerned, but I think it just means you can jam a guy, not flat out deck a dude to the ground when the ball is on the way. I wish I had a copy of the rule book.

They were saying on Comcast postgame live that that the league office had sent a letter to officials a week before stating to "keep the players safe". Still a lame ass call.

Thats bullshit, because the refs need to call the game by the book. If the comish wants to hand out punishment after the game, then so be it.
724Skinsfan 09-22-2008, 11:33 PM Not PI. The ball was terribly overthrown, they're not supposed to call pass interference if its a terrible ball
I agree. I'm not so sure that the ball was catchable. But, I think it's hard to say from that angle.
As for Leigh Torrence, he clearly had position to make the catch. PI isn't really all that debatable on that play:
Actions that do not constitute pass interference include but are not limited to:
e) Contact by a defender who has gained position on a receiver in an attempt to catch the ball.

Wow, thanks for the link, but my eyes are too tired for all that legalese-type talk right now.
