They were going to try a field goal sooner, but we called TO to ice the kicker and they pulled the field goal unit out and put the offense back in. I guess that they thought that we were prolonging the inevitable. Sean Peyton being the arrogant bastard that he is was attemting to rub it in our faces by punching it in for a touchdown, but they couldn't. The defense did all they really could do...keep them out of the endzone. If anyone got a slap in the face it was Sean.

Yeah, I didn't see it that way, and I don't know that I have hear SP characterized as arrogant. The D can't hold a lead, I thought if we started scoring first, things would turn around, but seriously, 3 times the O got up by 10 points, and the Defense gave it away each of those times. Good teams(Saints) win, Bad teams(us

) claim moral victories.

I'm pretty sure down by contact is reviewable isn't it?

Then we have been hosed may times in the past when Zorn has asked for a review and they say down by contact so it's not reviewable. The only thing they can review is the spot of the ball. To see if it was a first down or not.

I can't say I fully understood what happened on that play quite honestly. Seemed like they were saying he was fumbled before he was down by contact. Why not just say before he was down?

yes think they changed that rule 2 yrs ago . although it seemed like his forarm was down as was that interception before half. his legs was on shockey when he was down. look at that run near the goal line from the saints where he thought he rolled into the endzone untouched, but on his way down he touched a redskins player so he was down at the half yard line

Watching the Cowgirls get lambasted is always something that perks me up after a loss

CRedskinsRule · 12-06-2009, 07:07 PM

wow, 1 play 79 yards excellent

You heard it here (i'm watching the highlights) Devin Thomas will be the next Jerry Rice or Art Monk!

We find ways to lose games. I'm so sick of Laron Landry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Showboating loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everytime he tackles someone he gets up shaking his head and talking shit. Dude FYI YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The staff either needs to get him in his natural position or get his ass off the field.

CRedskinsRule · 12-07-2009, 01:17 PM

Well in the long debate in the cowboys game we sorta had the same situation, we delayed the game so that the review would happen, and then we got the penalty overturned because the review was upheld.

However, I don't think the Saints should have been given their timeout back. It was not a challenge flag but instead they called the timeout. Then the review happened.

I think the NFL ought to clarify that if the next play doesn't occur in the normal play clock period then the option to review is or is not still available, instead of just saying the next snap.

That's good coaching by Sean Payton. Nothing wrong with what he did by calling time out there.

I agree, he used the rules to his team's advantage. If Zorn did it, I'd praise him, but the point remains that the rules were exploited unfairly...a loophole may need to be closed up.

Aside from that, the refs/review booth blew two obvious and HUGE calls against us...even if the review process had been done correctly, the wrong calls were still made. Seriously, was Stevie Wonder in the review booth?

you know how i know the refs made the right decision, because they didn't show one replay at fedex, they only show replays when they are in our favor and even then they only do it once. yesterday they didn't show either and when i watched the replays on sportcenter it looks like they did make the right call on sellars, but that rule needs to be amended, and it appeared that moore didn't ever hit the ground from any contact.

what if the calls would have been in our favor it would have been a different story

bottom line we had that game won but couldn't finish yet again and it leaves us all looking for some one to blame. it really sucked being there i thought i was witnessing one of the greatest redskins games at fedex in a while only to be let down like the past two weeks.

the real sad part is how not pissed off i was after losing since i kinda expected going in

SP is confident, cocky, arrogant, aggressive or however else you want to say it. I am not going to debate the transparent with you. As far as the D is concerned though, they played well enough to win the game as did the offense. Did they make mistakes? Yes, so did the offense but in spite of those mistakes they still played well enough to win. The only guy who didn't play well enough to win was the kicker.
