LOL. Nothing against McLaurin, who's a great player and all, but I'm not taking his word for an in depth conversation taking place in the moments before a snap. And just LOL on the idea that the ref has to spend all his time coaching him on where the F to stand. 

 

Folks can be mad all they want, for all we know Terry did ask and ref thought he was then realized he wasn't. What's he going to do, give him a hint to move to the right place?  

 

It's the WRs job to know where to lineup, folks thinking the refs lied to him just to throw a flag do you honestly believe that?

He's been good to go for probably weeks at this point.  Why is he waiting so long to come back.  I guess he just wants the cash and doesn't want to have to play for it.  Seems that way, anyway.

It’s not up to him when he can come back, it’s up to the team’s doctors, trainers, and coaches. They obviously haven’t seen what they want to see. And they have no ulterior motive for wanting him to sit out, so…

On the Commanders postgame show on YouTube.

I watch it on TV after every game….a couple times.  Never seen Smoot.  Maybe different networks?  I’m going to check it out.  Thanks.

That's just what I've heard.  Why would the coaching staff activate him back in early November knowing that the fans and the media would be expecting his return within that window?  At this point, just put him on IR so it's no longer a weekly talking point on the radio.

I have no idea and neither do you.

Heard from where? There’s been plenty of well-sourced reports that explain what’s going on. The training staff doesn’t think he’s ready, and what he had was more than just a “simple” ACL tear. The staff activated him so they could actually see him on the field (yes, even on the side field), because they can’t when he’s stuck on IR. That’s the only way they could measure his continued progress.

do we stay with Taylor or bring wentz back? thoughts?

Yeah but when it's still moving and jerking around on the wall, the line of sight changes.

 

What the hell did you hang on the wall that was still moving and jerking around at the time?

 

 

...man...the penalty for rule violations around here is gettin' pretty steep...

[Redwolves92]

They didnt play well but refs did cost us this game, yeah they turned it over but that doesnt mean the refs dick us over and over. Did everything in their power to not let us score in that final drive, unbelievable. 
 

Disgusting officiating, they should be ashamed of themselves.

With our pass protection, it probably won't matter.

Depends....If you want a top 15 pick, go to Wentz.   Otherwise you gotta stick with TH.

From what is being said, the issue is him feeling comfortable. They’d play him if he felt he was ready

actually after the holding call  that led to a Giants score (that literally happens on every single outside rush in the history of the NFL) , then the 2-point conversion penalty, the 3 prior blatantly missed PIs, and the final PI that was missed, yes I do believe that.

Weird take, he asked the ref twice. Ref just sucks.

I was shocked by the non-reaction by the team on that blatant pass interference non-call. It's f'n 4th down with the game on the line. You have to get up and plead your case when you have a legitimate right and make the refs own their screw up and AT LEAST try to pressure them into making that call.

I think the shock from the TD getting called back took the fight out of them

All the more reason not to ask them, clearly it doesn't matter as the ref doesn't get penalized, we do.

Keim reported literally today that the coaches didn’t think he looked like himself yet, but they’ve seen more flashes of it in recent weeks which is why they think he’s close. I don’t think it’s that complicated or anything dramatic. 

[NeverSurrender]

Man, I have been watching this team for 30+ years.  That was a job by these refs.  More then anything else.  Defense couldn't get off the field, offense move it between the 20s but couldn't score. But above all, these refs jobs us.

He’s been medically cleared to play. Ron Rivera has said it’s up to Chase now to decide to play. 
 

I’ve been a doubter of Chase for a long time  - dating before the injury. I don’t think the production ever matched the hype. So I’m in a position where I don’t expect much from him - whenever it is that he decides he’s ready to play.  
 

He’s had a major injury. And all situations are different. But there have been plenty of guys who’ve gotten back on the field in a shorter time-frame than what we’re seeing with Chase.

And they feel that way bc he’s hesitating bc he can’t simulate a game in practice. That’s what Keim said on his pod. 
 

So he needs to play. 
 

Honestly I think the coaches are cool with him sitting bc he freelances so much. They’ve essentially said as much a few times

Complain on refs being wrong all game and trust them to tell you on the line when he should be able to see he's not?

 

Lamer.

Bro, you are going to bat for this ****ty officiating crew. Why?! Are you related to them? I can’t figure it out. 
 

yeah, we could have been better. But we aren’t better. The giants weren’t great either. The only difference between this game and the last game is that the refs made several horrible key calls against us.

How do we know there wasn’t a miscommunication with the ref, and whatever he said was him wanting Terry to move up even more—Terry thought he got the ok, then when he didn’t move up again and turned his head to wait for the ball to be snapped, the ref got annoyed he was ignored and immediately knew he was going to pull the flag and enforce it. That seems as plausible as anything else. Still sucks though.
