Slacky McSlackAss Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 i was baffled, didnt know you could challenge too many men on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyZeb Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Not scared, but confused. I didn't know what they could possibly be challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike42 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Honestly, I was scared but later shocked! I thought Gibbs was going to challenge if it was a fumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin11 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I said, WTF!? Challenging the fumble? I thought it was another stupid challenge by Gibbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_Fan Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I didn't know what he was challenging at first...but when they said he was challenging 12 men on the field, I knew it was a good challenge, because we had snapped the ball too quick for them to make a quicker arrangement.

Joe Gibbs II Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I didn't know what he was challenging at first...but when they said he was challenging 12 men on the field, I knew it was a good challenge, because we had snapped the ball too quick for them to make a quicker arrangement. Same, plus its not like you could be not sure if there were 12 people. If you make that call, you have to be pretty damn sure there were 12 out there.

Toe Jam Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 After I found out what he was challenging and that he was going to win something just popped into my head: SENILE? YOU PEOPLE ACTUALLY THOUGHT GIBBS HAD GONE SENILE? HA! Yeah. It was awesome. Even if someone from upstairs told him to throw it he wasn't obliged to. Very good call.

SkinsGlory Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Not scared, but that same old sinking and then angry feeling that the Redskins managed to find a new and unique way to blow a game. Then when the 12-man penalty was upheld (how lucky was that?!?), I knew we likely had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodriggo Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Definitely after the Moss catch/fumbled snap moment, I was starting to see the game slip away. Then the 12 men penalty gave us a second wind and we went on to win the game. Ultimately who knows what would have happen if the fumble stood but the momentum was definitely turning.

Guest sith lord Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I know I cursed loud enough to scare the guy downstairs when we fumbled the snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Things went so fast,I didn't have time to be scared. lol! No, I figured it was a good challenge on Gibb's and the men upstairs's part, and as soon as I saw the replay I KNEW it was a good challenge.

Skins26 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I yelled at the TV and was furious at first. Did you all hear Childress' reasoning in his presser, he may have something about how we substituted. He thought he had a point, im not sure it sounded like it could be a technicality rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redman Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Not scared, but confused. I didn't know what they could possibly be challenging. Exactly. Me too. Turns out, they were completely on the ball. That was a brilliant challenge and it changed the game - I think that ended up being a 14-point swing, though I have no way of proving what Minnesota would have done with the ball there.

mcarey032 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Yes I was because I thought he was going to say that collins spiked the ball or something. When the ref made the announcement, I was like "How would he know that?" Boy was I glad whoever made that challenge call to Gibbs because that literally saved our season. What a great decision.

NewCliche21 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 1) BRILLIANT call. 2) Wow, I haven't seen anything THAT crazy since the end of the November 5, 2006 Cowboys game with the blocked field goal that Taylor scooped up, returned to the fifty, then they tacked on a 15 yard face mask, all with no time remaining, and then Novak nails it from 52 yards.

Kindred Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Gibbs has a poor history of red flags calls, so I wasnt too optimistic about it at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stfuji Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I saw Childress all angry about the subsitution, but what the difference 5 yards. If they were substituting then the play wasn't valid anyway and therefore no fumble. They couldn't win either way unless I'm mistaken, so why all the anger over 5 yards?

TXREDSKINS44 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I was first baffled, but once Al and John said that he was challenging 12 men on the field I knew someone up stairs made the right call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkalnasy Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Yeah, I was a little curious as to why he challenged, and then upon hearing it was thrilled. Finally, a challenge that would go our way. As for Childress and the substitution? That man can go shove his head up his a**, he's just bitter and looking for a reason as to why he lost the game. What a fool to challenge the rules of the game and then look for excuses. Maybe once again the Vikes' fans will be demanding his firing and head on a platter! HTTR!
