Game Day Thread - Washington Football Team vs Cincinnati Football Team

[London Kev]

What!?! It could have been a safety to them if not for the hold? Crazy.

[NewCliche21]

That was such an us thing to do.  Reminds me of when Griffin dove, let go of the ball in midair, then grabbed it again, and it was a fumble.

 

Like, what?

Why did they opt to replay 4th down?

 

Better the Bangles get 3 points than 2 and the ball back. 

[ANONYMOUS SOURCE.]

Well that was almost awesome lol

 

..Edit, now it’s awesome again.

[KDawg]

Those of you wondering...

 

Burrow fumbled. Curl recovered in the end zone and took it out. He then fumbled back into the end zone.

 

Because we had possession of the ball and took it out of the end zone, our recovery IN the end zone and subsequent being downed in the end zone results in a safety.

 

However, Cincy held. Therefore, to avoid taking a 2 pt conversion we accepted the penalty.

 

Cincy can now kick the field goal, which is worth more, but they don't get the ball as they would on a safety.

that's wrong.  If Darby had retreated back to the endzone and been tackled it would have been a safety.  But it was fumbled and recovered by another guy.  That's just a touchback

Its a TB because our moron DB picked it up and ran with it.

I don't understand - why did Ron accept the penalty, and not take the safety and get the ball on the punt

Safety would have been in favor of the Bengals not us.  I was confused at first too.

Just jump on the ball man why are you trying to pick it up? Secure possession.

We still don't learn.

Anyone else notice Young blow Haskins off on the sideline?

[Number 44]

Did he actually recover it?  Not sure he ever had control.  Should be a touchback, IMO.  Unless he clearly had the ball.  

[Fred Jones]

Still don't get it - does a safety against the skins mean two points for Cincy and the skins punt it?  I don't recall ever seeing that

Because cincy gets the safety and we kick the ball. First time watching football!?

[JSSkinz]

It doesn't look like anyone ever had possession, the ball was knocked out of the endzone and then back into the endzone again, crazy play but it doesnt seem like possession was ever established.

[Malapropismic Depository]

Take the Safety, over the penalty.

It amounts to giving them 2 points vs 3

No, he was the ball carrier at that point.

 

That would have been a safety AGAINST US for those confused.  That's why we didn't take the safety.

Ball was never in the end zone. It’s a touchback. Washington ball 1st and 10

It does. He was running with the ball and it got knocked back into the end zone.

Anyone else catch Haskins wiping his brow after Chase Young almost walked through him on the sidelines?

 

Yeah, everyone was giving Chase props but Haskins was just standing there like "IDGAF" and Chase walked past DH and just shoulder bumped and walked right through him without even looking at him.   

[NoCalMike]

Ok so Washington football on the 20?  Wow something went right!

So because the player took the ball out of the endzone and fumbled in back into the endzone that would mean a safety on our end.  Got it...pretty much encapsulates this football organization.

[Warhead36]

Wow what a convoluted set of events. No points given up.

Literally all three statements are wrong. That’s impressive.

[Yng Lady88]

ok so we do indeed get the ball back as a touchback.

[Fred Jones]

Ok, things worked out, but that was weird

And this is why Haskins isn't playing.
