Skins Penalties

[rypper11]

I know that this is a horrible frustrating loss and in no way am I saying that the officials had a hand in the loss. I know that bad calls are part of the game and good teams overcome. That being said, there seemed to be quite a few questionable calls today.
Fletcher's interference call? The phantom personal foul call that wasn't attributed to any number? The illegal contact calls that Fox didn't replay because they couldn't find them?
I know that national media isn't fond of us but are we the most hated team by officials?

We killed ourselves.....period. If Cooley doesnt false start, thrash gets his 3rd TD. No one questions the refs

100% agree.

I have to scratch my head when the Eagles get illegal contact on 3rd and 20 and then again on 2nd and 25. Some penalties could be called on any play and illegal contact is in that category. They were certainly timely from Andy Reid's perspective and not just in the context of this game, but in terms of their season and certain people's careers in that city.

Couldn't agree more. Should've won despite any calls that went against us today.

The single biggest reason for the loss today was stupid penalties that kept drives alive for Philly. I don't want to hear this stupid BS about play calling or Gibbs needing to be fired. Spare me from the dramatics, today we simply shot ourselves in the foot by drawing costly penalties at the worst times.

Another big play was that give me INT that Godfrey had in his hands and dropped it. I believe it was the play before that 45 TD to Reggie Brown was huge too. That was a game changer we were up 22 - 13 6:00 left in the game we could have ran the clock down and won.

A huge play indeed. Hit Godfrey in both hands and he still dropped it. We followed that with an illegal contact on Springs that bailed Philly out of what would have been 3rd and 16. Philly scored on the next play to Brown. So if Godfrey makes a play, or Springs doesn't hand Philly a first down, perhaps the Brown TD never happens. There were plays to be made on both sides of the ball - all phases of the game had a hand in this loss, not just coaching.

Deinately true, and if he gets that TD, we win, nobody would be miserable, all in a days work.
