Thats the one hypocritical call I would like to see changed by the rules committee. Legally it wasnt a facemask... but if Graham was on defense he would have been flagged and probably fined for the same move. Josh gotta keep his cool and let the refs hand out the on-field punishment.

Thats the object of a stiff arm, to keep your opponent from tackling you. There was nothing illegal about what Graham did, Norman just did an outstanding job of holding on. Should Graham have punched Norman for twisting his arm which could have resulted in an injury? No! Because Norman legally did what it took to bring his opponent down. If Josh didnt appreciate it and feel the need to throw punches because he got in his feelings then he need to go find a safer less physical sport to play. This is football. Thats like a player getting trucked by a running back then going over to him and punching him because he's mad over a legit football play. Thats football!! You get man handled, trucked and stiff armed sometimes but dont be a **** about it.

I dont think Norman intentionally tried to horse collar him, it just turned into a weird tackle.

Probably because after the horse collar tackle Norman dropped a elbow/punch down on Graham. Was that necessary? You cant do that. The fine seems justified.

Sometimes its better to be lucky than good. We were super lucky yesterday that he missed those fgs and im sure that Seahawks kicker will be fired today.

I definitely agree with you as far as the off the field fines/suspensions biased in favor of the Giants players. Its borderline criminal what they do in that aspect.

This is probably the best argument Ive ever heard/read to support any possible bias claim, I have to honestly admit that. I can legitimately say this sounds very possible. This shows probability favoring good or better teams moreso than just saying, "refs are biased against just us". Your argument sounds more believable.

The refs, dont drop passes, fumble the ball, hire Zorn as HC, call extra conservative plays during the last minutes of the quarter, try to purchase all the top free agents to build an unsuccessful super team, hire Cerrato's dumb ass as a GM, get Albert Haynesworth and McNabb in free agency, and most of all draft colossal busts like RG3. The refs didnt do that... our organization did that to itself. However, we ARE on the right path to success. We have not been relevant and unsuccessful for many years because of our own doing, not because of some imaginary league wide ref bias. Do you really think refs get up Sunday morning, drink their coffee, eat their breakfast and sit there trying to figure out all the ways they can JUST screw over the Washington Redskins? Cmon fam, we are smarter, bigger, and better than that as a fanbase to lean on such a weak excuse as to whether we win or lose a ballgame. Thats just as bad as the people Ive heard say that they dont like ESPN, NFL Network, and other media outlets because they have a "bias" against us. Why should they feature us over the last 20 years? Seriously. When is the last time we won a playoff game? If we win and show promise like we have been doing, then we will get our just due. As fans of this great franchise, we have to change our mindset and way of thinking. I know we have been down a long time, but we have something special and real here brewing. We gotta get out of the paranoid, "they dont like us", "everybody is against us", "CONSPIRACY" way of thinking. WE ARE THE FANS OF THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS!!!! Lets start acting like it without the excuses. HTTR

And this is my point exactly. Refs make human era calls. Not bias, conspiracy, vendetta calls. Everybody benefits from, and get hosed by human error, not this fairytale, self imagined ref bias against one team out of all 32 teams. We have benefited from horrible calls too! Why would we get a call in our favor in the pic below, if we are this NFL stepchild?

I think that they should get rid of the instant replay altogether. I dont know what a catch is anymore, when it comes to a fumble, they talk about the ball shifting or does he have control, etc, etc, etc. We should just go back to the old days.... If you look like you caught the ball its a catch. If the ball comes out and the ref misses that your knee was down, oh well. Human error. They are still making human errors WITH replay observation. As far as the ref or league conspiracy against any one team. BS. Thats loser talk. The worst travesty in replay history happened to Calvin Johnson, Dez Bryant, and the Raiders with tuck rule garbage involving Tom Brady. If anybody had a legit reason to whine about conspiracy, it was those particular players and/or teams that were horribly robbed. It was just human error not some fairytale league wide conspiracy against a team. That only exist in the minds of excuse givers.
