However, that one play didn't make or break the Skins.
Actually I'd say it technically did. If we all think he wasn't in then we are basically saying because they screwed up on the deciding score we lost. In other words we played well enough to win by one point but got screwed by a bad call that cost us two. I'd agree we shouldn't have put ourselves in that position but at the same time the position we put ourselves in had us winning the game except the refs blew it. Just can't be in a position where the refs can blow a game like that is the lesson learned.

I've watched the PAT block play over and over and I'm telling you, it's a damn close call, it looks like Springs and Harris just get a great jump.
i'd like to see that play again, but i dont see how they both could have gone offsides at the same time without the ball moving

From the first mis-call that you all mentioned on one thread or another against Prioleau on Galloway. This set the tone of what kind of Refs we were dealing with. There was a clear case of illegal contact against the Bucs on David Patten. No call.
Now let us reason together. Why did this game have so many bad calls? The future or end of Chris Simms. That's all you heard about. How he looked like his father and so on and so forth. The media needs a darling that they can prop up and relish over and he was the one for last week. You all heard it "The greatest comeback this week" and Gruden makes a brilliant call. But htere were some sports announcers on Mike & Mike on Espn, said they watched it 20 times and you can't convince them that Alstott got in. Solomon Wilcox said on the NFL Network that Grudens call was called out of fear that his offensive line could not hold up against the Redskins defense and that he's sure the Redskins stopped Alstott.
You see, this is why Gibbs had to send this tape to the NFL, so that the next 7 games will be monitored more clearly so that this doesn't happen to us again. That's the reason he wanted to submit the tape.

Now for all of the mistakes we made on defense, when it seemed like we made two consistent stops, we still can't catch a break.

I know it's all water under the bridge, but Boomer agrees Alstott did not get in as well.

"I've looked at Mike Alstott's two-point conversion from last week's win over the Redskins at least 10 different times. I still do not see where that football broke the plane of the goal line. Washington was shortchanged. That's all I'm going to say."
