Skins24 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Yeah I was pretty sure we got it, the refs gave the Skins a horrible spot. I also think that second BJ fumble really was a fumble.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neophyte Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Yeah, looking at this I just can't see how the line judge got this one wrong. Looks like a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Damn the torpedos! Nevermind the review. I was yelling to go for it on 4th and inches. :coach: And we all know how often I'm right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I think in the future we might go for it on plays like those, if of course our Defense continues the way it went against Tampa Bay. Also, yeah he obviously got the 1st down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Joe Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Gibbs said in his press conference that he didn't want to do anything that might break the momentum the Redskins had. I say, what's the worst thing that could have happend? A failed challenge and you have to kick a field goal. Yesterday on CSN, Buges said that the coaching staff would learn from the mistake and would throw the red flag on any plays that were even close.

By not challenging, he STOPPED our momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRBFan Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I'm pretty sure they would use all available camera angles when reviewing the play, and you can't tell me there isn't a goal line camera used when deciding if a player breaks the plane of the end zone? There would have been AT LEAST one camera that would have revealed that the spot was incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted them to go for it...but I understood why he didn't. I mean if the Bucs stopped us, then on some freak play they end up with a 98 yd TD....we're screwed. It's the old way of thinking for me...with Norv or Spurrier at the helm we would have found a way to screw things up It'll take some getting used to...this team concept that creates opportunities for us...rather than blowing it.

Saint Joe Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 If I were a coach, I would never kick a field goal inside the two yard line. Even if you don't make it, you make it extremely tough on the opposing offense. You rarely see a team get even a single first down when pinned against the goalline, let alone a 98-yard touchdown drive. But, I won't doubt Gibbs, he knows best.

mookie0720 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Even if the fat ass line judge is blocking that view, FOX had about a half dozen other views that showed the ball was spotted a good 2 yards short. Gibbs has got to throw the flag on that one, but the blame goes upstairs to our supposed ex-Ref who is telling Gibbs whether or not to challenge.

ArmchairRedskin Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 You know if somehow we had lost the game, that non challenge would have been hot topic number 1 around here. I was thinking after we kicked that field goal that I hope it doesn't come back to bite us in the @ss. Still, Gibbs didn't get word from the official upstairs, and from what I understand, Hill thinks it would have been hard to over turn that spot. Who knows. I'm just glad it didn't become a factor later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELLO. They don't get every angle to view, and if the did they could check every shot for conclusive evenidence in 40 seconds. 2 Gibbs said that the overturning the spot is the toughest challange to make. unless there is a definite angle that shows a landmark to spot the ball. You can't have conclusive evenidence. 3. Also the only angleyou can use is the side view, which limits the chances of finding conclusive evenidence replay. plus the Refs do not have the aid of the yellow line in their replays.

3DaysLatr Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I'll say this about Coach Gibbs, officials and challenges. Growing up I was the first guy to remind someone that good teams win in spite of bad calls. I've forgotten that over the past 10 seasons but it held true Sunday. Coach Gibbs is the man and if he deems it correct to kick a field goal from inside the 3 yard line in a defensive battle then I'm right there thinking it was the right thing as well. Let's get some perspective here, it is not an automatic that the officials would have corrected their error on a challenge and Bubba's shot shows one decisive angle that is blocked. They blew the call and the Redskins won anyway. It's not like that was the only erroneous moment for the zebras on Sunday. I'm happy with the win and Coach Gibbs' decision.

That holds true on calls that are close. This call was not even close! The first replay can show this. Even if the line judge ends up blocking Brunell's final spot, you can still clearly see Brunell go flying past the first down marker up to his knees. This call was not even close, and it didnt take 40 seconds to make, most people who were watching the game semi-closely could immediately say that was a first down. I didn't even see the replay and I took it for granted that it was a first down before they even showed the replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 At 14 - 0 the rout might have been on. Might have been a much more relaxing, grin generating game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate running the asylum Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 It was very obvious on TV and the announcers said so, that we got a bad spot. Hall blew this one. We had two challenges available. What the hell were we saving the challenges for? If you have them, you may as well gamble and use the first one. As it turns out, the game ended and WE STILL had two challenges we never used. :doh: Kissing off the extra 4 points, almost later cost us the game.
