Skins Giants postgame

That debacle at the end was just pathetic by the refs. Never seen that before.

Couple positives:

Orakpo looked great last night. Dominated Beatty

RG3 looked good and Garcon had a decent game.

Amerson has had a great rookie season, thought he was good last night.

We need professional referees. These "regular" part time refs really aren't any better than the strike replacements. Tripplette or whatever his name is should never officiate another game.

With good refs tonight, we still lose, but at least the game isn't a complete and total CF at the end.

I put about 70% of it on the Head Linesman and 20% on Triplette, and 10% on the umpire and Line judge. I ref semi-pro and we use NFL rules and mechanics.

The head linesman has no business telling the chain crew to move until the ref gives a first down signal, unless it is so obvious that Helen Keller could see it was a first down. After the chains had moved, and the box change to 1, you see Triplette trying to get the HL's attention and yelling 3rd down. When it wasn't fixed, he should have stopped the game to reset the chains and box.

The umpire and line judge seeing it was close, should have yelled to Triplette to come take a closer look and possibly measure. With the game on the line it is customary to give a measurement as a courtesy.

I know 2 nfl officials (not all that well, have met and talked to them at clinics). They have explained how they are graded and the implications. The entire crew will get hammered for this, they won't get fired, but I seriously doubt they come anywhere close to a play-off game.

A perfect ending for a Shit game and season

Great stuff and perspective. Thanks

It took Rak a while to get going this year coming off that injury but I think now it's clear we need to lock him up for the long term.

You think the woman behind Mike is talking about the fiasco with the refs, but she's really talking about Mike's tenure here in DC.

LOL nice

So he beat out a shitty LT. Also, didn't some of the teams the past few weeks sport backups LTs?


I'm for signing him, but it would have to be a average salary. (much like his play)
