14 rushing yards on 12 carries...jeez

Another sign today that Matt Jones isn't the answer to the question, who will be the predominant Redskin RB perhaps?

This is crazy. No ref is going purposely blow calls, and his integrity/credibility, because of the name issue. While I
Agree it was a bad call on culliver, good teams overcome that. Stop making excuses, Jason.

It wasn't a bad call. CC hit Olsen in the neck with a forearm. Not saying it was a dirty play by CC or anything, it was just a bam bam play and those type of hits will get flagged every time in today's NFL.

OK just getting back. And im wondering if that looked as bad on TV as it did in person.

I agree that wasnt a dirty play, its just a shit happens kinda play. How ever, one has to wonder, when do they start throwing flags on offensive players for lowering their heads into plays like this. CUlliver ended up hitting him high because Olsen was dipping down into the play. Had Culliver been a step later, he would have taken Olsens helmet to his head. Thats the only thing that irks me about calls like that. A WR dips into a play and ends up spearing a defender and it normally goes uncalled. Or goes against the defense any way.

Side note, at some point they need to take the power to take points off the board out of a refs hands unless the points directly came from the penalty in question. Shit like a holding call on the other side of the field, a block in the back that had no bearing on the play. Sure throw the flag, take the yards. But when Refs have the power to alter the game with a questionable call, they dont need to be making calls.

I don't think it was a dirty play. The current state of the NFL is to flag hits above the neck. We can argue all day about whether it was a penalty or not. It is judgement call by the ref and I understand why he made the judgement. I would have been fine with him not making it too. I miss football the way it used to be played.

Yeah, it looked fairly bad on tv. In the game thread I might've talked shit, but as soon as I realized a flag had been thrown on the play. I was thinking this is coming back for an illegal hit.

Don't know how you propose they do that.

OK. Don't know what your response above has to do with the particular post of mine that you quoted.

He's also a RB and what is the number one thing a RB can't do?

Exactly.

I wonder if there was a lot of chatter on the field from the other team and the refs about that?

well then we should just cut him because he has no chance of being anything after a 10 game career

Tiki Barber had that same issue...it got fixed.

Great pt. Way back when this was also done for Larry Brown. These type of things are correctable especially for a young RB. You don't just kick the guy to curb because of this especially when you don't have a whole lot of good options at that position & also need to rebuild at numerous other positions.

Good pt Cali. Oh well - it is just a byproduct of frustration. I feel that this team is heading in the rt direction, but it is tough constantly saying "Wait until next year" & I definitely get a feeling that the road blues are far from over for this team so I don't see much true hope for this season.

Trying to keep the faith - we will see. If there truly is any reason to believe that any of these players gave up in the 2nd half then hopefully those guys are not part of their future plans - that is just flat out unacceptable.
