Cheap win. Redskins were robbed on the Punt.

[Liminy]

I don't see what's so hard to understand about this. Westbrook was engaged in blocking with whoever on the Panthers was blocking him. If that idiot Westbrook doesn't know to get out of the way when someone calls fair catch or if Randal-El can't signal to his blockers that he's going to catch it, then it's their own fault for not getting away, seems perfectly legit to me. I could understand if they were just running down there and he got pushed into him but not if they were blocking each other and Westbrook got thrown into the return man. Just seems like bad communication to me. No one is saying that you can send Peppers down there and just throw people into the return man because on most teams when the fair catch is called people get the f**k out of the way, they don't continue to block the opposing team so close to their return man. So it's the Redskins fault, and it's not a bs call, it may make some people feel butt hurt but so do a lot of things in the nfl. I'm happy we got a win finally and I hope to see more, a lot more. I'm going to just enjoy the 1 win we have and would hope that you actual fans would like to enjoy it too, Shitty team or Non-Shitty team.

QFT...awful friggin non rule if this is even a non rule vs' a stupid official just blowing the call. I think the latter in that an official just took a very liberal Panther view of being engaged blocking vs' Teal just pushing him into the Receiver.

The same "non-call" was made twice on Sunday. It isn't that uncommon and if I'm not mistaken this same call was made in another Panther game back in the 06 or 07 season. Only that time it was the Panthers fielding the punt and losing it. And if I recall correctly a lot fans on here were reacting the same way the Skins fans are reacting. It does seem like a horrible call but the above poster is correct. If you are blocked, not pushed, into the player calling for a fair catch then it is legal and stupid on your part for not getting out of the way.

Teal pushed him then so you agree the Skins got jobbed?

The Skins got jobbed by Westbrook being unaware and/or a dumbass. Teal made a heads-up play to capitalize on stupid. I guarantee you your very own special teams coach drills the same thing.

It's not Teal's fault that the guy trying to block him was getting owned. No rules broken and nobody got "jobbed". Quit crying you pussy.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Damn, there sure is a lot of dumb in this thread. Just now on NFL Primetime they said it was a great move by the Panthers. Can someone lock this damn thread already?

[Davidson Deac II]

The skins coaches aren't even arguing the call.

Muffed punt the difference

The first bit of bewilderment surrounded Teal shoving Westbrook into his teammate. Randle El said he didn't realize it was legal. Officials explained to Zorn that the fair-catch call was negated when Westbrook crashed into Randle El. Zorn said after the game that he would seek further clarification, but his special teams coordinator, Danny Smith, didn't disagree with the officials' ruling. In fact, he said the Redskins' similarly practice shoving a blocker into the punt returner, and Fox confirmed that it was not an accidental play on Teal's part.

"Our guys are coached to do that," he said. "Anybody on special teams, our team, their team included. We understand that you can push a guy into the return team. It's a part of the game. You are able to block into them. That was an excellent play."

Referee Walt Coleman said that because the contact was between Randle El and a teammate, there was no interference on the play and Teal's actions were legal.

[Wither]

Nope just calling it as I see it.

Your hostility is overwhelming. If you can't "call it" without bias then don't call it at all.

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think Zorn challenged it. Foxx challenged when they said that it hit a panthers player first, and it was overturned because it hit the skins player first.

Dude, no; no one challenged it. Zorn tried to, but wasn't allowed.

Well, watching the replay on youtube, it says that the call was overturned since it bounced off a skins receiver. I assume that fox challenged, and I do remember that both had their hands on the challenge flag. But it could have been the refs overturning on their own.

Irrelevant though, as long as the right team won.

The ref's discussed it between themselves.

Not whining just pointing out that we got lucky and that call was wrong.

The call wasn't wrong. :confused:

So pushing a player into a guy fair catching is legal. Im with Zod on this one time to send Peppers and Brayton on kickoffs and punts.

It's not against the rules and wasn't flagrant.

It was a perfectly legal play and he didn't mean to do it on purpose. How is that not obvious?

It's not Teal's fault that the guy trying to block him was getting owned. No rules broken and nobody got "jobbed". Quit crying you pussy.

I love this guy!

And these two guys just owned all you idiots for me.

[Squirrel]

Point being it should be a rule you cant do it. It is interfering with the PR and that is against the rules so this should be too.

[CatMan72]

Jake looked like he thought he just won the SB. Bush league victory.

Not our fault that the Skins don't understand the rules of the game and can't tackle.

[CatMan72]

Skins jobbed themselves by not understanding the rules of the game. Danny Crossman, the Skins special teams coach says the right call was made and the Skins practice this very thing.

Keep digging for excuses as to how Skins could let a 17-2 lead against a 0-3 team slip away... there is no excuse... the Skins suck and that's compounded by having dumb players.

Wow, now I might would have to give the game ball to Teal. I thought he pushed him purposely, but I didn't think he intended to push him into the returner - that is awesome awareness!

So it is the fair catch signal that makes it a totally different outcome, b/c I have seen plenty of calls made on illegal contact or catch interference when a returner doesn't signal for a fair catch, attempts to make the catch and return, and then gets one of his blockers thrown into him. We actually had this called on us earlier in the year I think.

So why don't we just punt it as high as we can everytime and strong arm on of their guys into him, lol...

I completely see your point, but there "should" also be rules for all kinds of things, but the fact is there isn't, and rightfully so. If all you have is a bunch of rules then you end up with dull games that are dictated by the refs and the rulebook, and not the teams.

I don't think it's that big of a deal unless it's done intentionally and I still don't think this was intentional at all.
