The REAL reason why the Skins lost today

To be honest, that 14 point swing was huge.

True, but the hit was illegal regardless of the interception. I'll concede that it's a rule that leads to ticky-tacky calls, but this was clearly a penalty.

It was the right call. 29 had both feet come off the ground, launching into the defender, while leader with his shoulder. It was definitely a personal foul. 

If this was college football, 29 would have been kicked out of the game. I've seen them do it for less.

even if that INT remained, we still win big. our D shut down their offense in the second half. 47 total yards.

Washington has a racist name, they don't have a good quarterback, they have a DB fanbase.. And for that reason ... I'm out 

Nah, pretty sure it was the brick wall they ran into today. After the paper bag last week, can you blame anybody for thinking differently?

Just thinking about all those NC diehard 'skins fans feeling all puffed up and comfy when the score was tied at 14...while I sat there watching their defense endure a 2-1 TOP deficit to the Panther's methodical offense.

Like others have said.. you don't lose by 30 from bad calls from refs

[Mother Grabber]

14yds rushing for the Skins....but the refs were the difference. 14! lol.

I thought they lost because carolina scored more points than they did

Totally agree. I've just been watching Shark Tank all week.

Meh, bad calls are part of the game. No single call changed the game's outcome. I think we would have whooped their a$$ regardless. They got talent, they play hard, but they are not a well disciplined or well coached team. That makes them a bad team.

From a fan's perspective, the personal foul on Olsen that wiped out their TD had to hurt but it is in the rulebook of today's NFL. 10 years ago that likely would not have been called. Hey, if you don't wanna have to sue the league for concussion like symptoms 20 years from now, you can't complain about such calls today. You can't have it both ways man. Play within the rules. It's cool when the fans claim conspiracy, but stupid when they players do it.

Most of the calls were legit I thought, I don't know what they are talking about. When you are called for encroachment 4 times a game, you need to look in the mirror buddy. Don't think I've ever seen that in a game. The hold on their TE that wiped out Cousin's run was clear as day, but they didn't even get 3 points out of that drive. They are a bad team. We were pinned 2nd and 22 inside our 10 earlier, and we marched right down and scored. We are not even considered a "pass heavy" team. We are a good team, and they are bad. The truth hurts.

Good, or atrociously bad, game play takes the impact of bad officiating out of a game. Today, both teams did their respective duty to completely nullify the refs.

The personal foul to call back the interception return was the biggest call of the game.  I havent seen a replay since i got home from the stadium, so i am not sure if it was the right call or not.  I wouldnt have been surprised for the refs to not call it for us though.

By the rules as defined by the NFL today?

Totally the right call... 100% by the book.

I bet Sergeant Major McRacist and his son-in-law Corporal Cracker have the Redskins as their 2nd favorite team.

Agreed, plus they were already gifted 7 points on the kickoff return fug up, points their pathetic offense didn't have to generate.  Only so much of that to go around.
