wpenn1 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Gosh I just can't help thinking about the two point conversion in Tampa, the conservative play calling against the Raiders and the Chargers. These are three games in which we were in control of our own destiny. Had we just won one of them we would be in great position for both the division and the playoffs. If we don't(I have faith we will) make the playoffs which game or moment will you point to as the defining moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altair4 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Yah.....I think if they bring anything positive out of it, they will realize HOW good they have to be to win unequivocally in the NFL, and then adjust their play accordingly...

twenty-eight Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 No doubt about, the tampa game. Thats the one that sticks out now and that will stick out at the end of the year. BEAT DALLAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Worst loss of they year definately. Like the GB game last year. Its going to be tough to get over if we dont make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Man Burgendy & Gold Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I would suggest you stop thinking about it, we've gotten a little lucky too, remember the Seattle game and the missed kick, anyways nothing can be done about it now.

Eli The Future Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Everyone has games like that. I can't stop thinking about Jay Feely wetting himself in Seattle. We would be the 1 seed in the NFC right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raperry2 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Seattle kick was their fault. We didn't get lucky, their kicker just didn't get good. Of course everyone is thinking about Tampa.... anyone that saw the game knows that is the worst moment of the year in terms of taking away the fans' confidence at least... possibly some players.

ChicagoRedskinsFan Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 It's hard not to think about those games, especially the TB game. Going in we knew that game had major playoff implications, and it only looms larger now. We'd be the top wildcard now with tie breaker over TB if we had just won that game. The Redskins playoff fate will probably hinge on that 2-point phantom conversion. But for now let's try to think about the hope we still have. We'll have the whole off-season to dwell on that game - unless the Redskins erase that memory by winning their last 3 games and making the playoffs. They have the power to reverse the curse!

willmb5 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 yeah BUT we cant worry bout the games that got away. lets just win these next ones and make the playoffs. that would be money and would make me forget about all those games that got away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hey, you take Sean Taylor and Cornelius Griffin out of our defense... 2 virtual Pro Bowlers... and it's tough to replace that. I take a little consolation in the fact that the Bucs have won a few games now with Sims at QB. So he can't be all that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he can't be all that bad. It has nothing to do with Griffin, Taylor, the Bucs or Simms. If you remember that game we were in control of the game. If we were able to convert that last 3rd and short we win that game outright. I know that everyone is saying to forget about that game but when you are looking at the teams ahead of us for playoff berths you think of that game.

If we were able to convert that last 3rd and short we win that game outright. You could say the same thing for the Chargers game... when we had 6 3-and-outs in the 4th quarter... and the last 2 possessions where 3rd and 1 and 3rd and 2. And the only reason why had a chance to win at the end was because of an interception by the defense. Our offense has been shutdown repeatedly all year on 3rd and shorts. That's no surprise.. especially like a good defense like the Bucs... on a play where EVERYBODY knew the Redskins were going to run. The bigger surprise was giving up 36 points to a young, struggling QB with a depleted offensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jservs7 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 That Tampa game is still heart breaking everytime I think of it. Im so tired of these close game loses by merely a few points. Id rather we get blown out then go through something like that. At least we can have more time to figure out what we're doing wrong while we get our @sses kicked.

jrockster21 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 The Tampa game....no other game's officiating has been that bad in the history of the NFL. Although I've heard the no-sack call in favor of Green Bay (Sunday night against Detroit) was pretty awful. But that entire game was FILLED with terrible calls and no-calls. The "illegal motion" call against Green Bay last year doesn't even come close. ARGH this thread is pissing me off...thinking about the Tampa Bay game makes my blood boil!!! OH MAN THAT STILL PISSES ME OFF!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: - the "force-out" - the no-call on the Patten-mugging before the interception - the no-call on the Moss-mugging before the interception - the late-hit call - questionable offsides on the extra-point call - the %$#@$%$(*#%($@*%(@*@#$%$$%^$%%$ 2-pt. conversion call I'm shocked they got the Salave'a forced fumble call right....its amazing to me. It must have been dumb luck; they must have flipped a coin or something...who knows. Absolute morons. :cuss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just skins baby Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Coach Gibbs is still building this team back up where we should be. It's taken Marvin Lewis 3 years to turn the Bengals into a decent playoff caliber team. When we can finally throw off the Norvitis that has been affecting us we may be a decent team after all.

PCS Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 What's done is done. Can't focus on the present looking backwards. Dallas up next. That will be the turning point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek1973 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Tampa because honestly the refs took that W from us. You can say what you will about how we didn't make that 3 and 2 or that we should never have let them score the TD etc etc but the fact remains that that JoeyC catch was out of bounds and it set the tempo for the entire game of Simms after that AND Allstot was not in for the two point conversion. In addition we did block that extra point with perfect timing rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastman Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 The turning point for me was the Giants game, if you want to call it a game. That's the game that exposed us and began the losing streak. It also happens to be one of the worst performances by any team all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santanamoss89 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 The game is over. We can not do anything to change the call. I stopped think about it 1 week after the game. Just focus on this weeks game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
