tr1 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Okay, I've had my issues with NFL referees in the past, but when announcers can't ignore the obvious, it's time for someone from the league to take notice. I say the league be allowed to introduce tear-away jerseys. Anyone with a handful of material after the play gets called for holding. It'll keep everyone honest.

Mark The Homer Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 How about that horrible call where the Refs said Ravens were down after we stripped the ball in a perfectly clean legit play? That ref needs to be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinSabbath Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Oher was getting away with several holds against Orakpo too. No call. After the Saints game last year I just basically assume the refs are against us all the time. Nothing I've seen has made me change my mind. But the more you complain to a ref, the more he coutinues to dislike you. So what are we ever going to do? I had hoped that Shanahan would have a different rapport with the referees. But we'll wait and see once the regular season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 It is horrible and it's nothing new. Somewhere there is an NFL law making it illegal to call holding against a Redskins' opponent. The bizzarre thing is that there is no advantage to being so obviously biased and one-sided during a pre-season game... though I guess people do bet on those too. I was also really annoyed at the delay of game penalty, especially after they had reversed one for Baltimore earlier with less cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbsisgod2006 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 The refs were pretty bad last night thank god it was only a preseason game not a regular season game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Complete Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 The refs are and always will be a problem. The NFL needs to make it a full time job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HigSkin Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Oher was getting away with several holds against Orakpo too. No call. +1, on more than one occasion and in clear, open view. I thought the "umpire move" to the offensive backfield was going to result in more holding calls this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr1 Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 I gotta tell ya, I thought it got better during the Gibbs II era, and I was hoping Shanny's stature would help a bit. However, if we get a repeat like that during the regular season, we're going to lose a few key games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike21 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hmmm I need to see the broadcast to check these holds out............but I don't want to see the broadcast..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hmmm I need to see the broadcast to check these holds out............but I don't want to see the broadcast..... Well just take my word for it, they were holding 4 out of 5 plays. I know there is holding on every play, but they were hooking and grabbing. It was unbelievable.

redskins59 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I was at the game, and let me tell you, Orakpo was getting held all the time. Zero holding calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike21 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 ...Or what about that sorry Delay-of-game penalty on Fletch. Yeah I couldn't understand the ref on that one.....did he say that London kicked the ball away? And those who watched on tv, did he actually do that?

RichmondRedskin88 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 As far as holding on Orakpo. He wasn't held he was damn near strangled around the neck. The guy almost had a sleeper hold on him once. Orakpo should have been screaming RAPE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsaddict Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 i think he backed into it, it wasnt an intentional kick. but landy SHOULD have been called for delay of game for his "cramp" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30yrheel Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 the refs always suck. it's not just the skins. everybody is complaining about the umpire in the backfield now making it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those who watched on tv, did he actually do that? He was, backing up and kicked it. I think he didn't meant to do it. It look like he was trying to be slick, but I don't think so.

jileib Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Orapko could not have been held more if he were slow dancing with Orher (or however you spell his name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allskins Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 i think he backed into it, it wasnt an intentional kick.but landy SHOULD have been called for delay of game for his "cramp" Yeah, I was LMAO on that one. I think Landry saw our D wasn't getting set in time and he faked an injury to get the time out. It's hard to believe the refs pentalized Fletcher and let Landry get away with that one. I did think it was funny and quick thinking by Landry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGREENHULK Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Did anyone notice that the Head Ref kept sending what appeared to be the yougest ref over to explain the calls or lack thereof to Shanny...To me it looked like a cowardly move by him. And that non-fumble due to forward progress was the worst call of the night they looked like complete fools out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailGreen28 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 The Bills got screwed, to a lesser extent, by the refs last weekend. This was our turn in the barrel. I now dislike the Ravens a lot more than I used to. From their head coach on down to their cheating tackle Oher, they have very little class.

allskins Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I have to admit it defenately was one of the worst reffed games I have watched in a while and you know when the announcers are commenting on it over and over, it's definately blatant.
