The ref who made that pass interference call against the Skins had to have been on some serious medication...

If not, the NFL may as well hire Stevie Wonder to be a Field Judge.

There are only two teams, the Redskins and any team who beats the Cowboys.

Exactly :)

The horse**** calls didn't all go the Cowboys way. Clinton Portis got two no-calls on the same play in the 3rd quarter. One when he trapped a pass but was credited with catching it, and the other when he was allowed to advance the ball for a first down after he was touched on the ground. That kept a late Redskins drive alive and made the score a lot closer than it should have been.

The officiating was terrible and hurt both teams in that game, but then again the NFL officiating is terrible in just about every game and has been so for years.

It wasn't the refs. 1st and goal on the 2 yard line and poor clock management. I just hope Joe isn't regretting his decision to come back.

Parcells is simply the better coach, and IIRC has a better record against Gibbs than any other coach. I will add, however, that Parcells and Gibbs, in that order, are the two best football coaches on the planet. It makes me absolutely sick to see Gibbs back on the Redskins sidelines.

You guys like things big I hear. So how a bout a nice big glass of SHUT THE F UP?

They're based in VA. and play in MD. DC is something we drive around to get to the game. Have a nice losing season with ...Vinnie.

I saw the missed pass interferance non-call. That was a good break for the 'Boys. The exposed right shoulder pad was a good indicator.

Be prepared to be besieged by Cowboys fans who don't care if their team wins by bad calls alone. Be prepared for all of them to bring up ancient history of Superbowl glory and expect you to genuflect to the memory of a quality team that hasn't existed since the mid-1990s.

So, to help lighten the mood, here's a joke:

Q: What do you call a drug ring in Dalls?
A: A huddle.

LMAO, well I can understand Gibbs sending in those lone two plays for review and ignoring the numerous calls that benefitted his team,,, that's what NFL coaches do after they get calls they don't like,,, but what was inexcusable was his juvenile refusal to talk to Parcells or even make eye contract after the game. Gibbs barely even touched hands with Parcells. I've got pictures of the childish act but haven't figured out how to post pics on this site yet.

Have a nice losing season with ...Vinnie. This, from someone whose team has a guy named Laverneous?

By the way, here is the number of that truck that whacked Laverneous (and others) last night:

Puhhh-leez What a lame attempt to deny the 'Boys their rightful status as the better men of the day. Vinny threw like Ray Charles (as usual), but we still managed. Bill is going to coach them to another Super Bowl win this year. Prepare for defeat fatbodies!

I was a bit suprised by Gibbs reaction after the game myself. What was up with that?

If you send me a URL link to the picture, I'll be happy to post it.

In Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys, Bush is going to give Kerry a big can of whoopass, like some of the Roy Williams hits from last night's glorious victory over the hated Redskins...

In Washington D.C., home of the Washington Redskins and many other assorted losers, Kerry is going to kill Bush.

Any questions?

Just two:

1. Which prescription medications are you on?
2. When did you take them last?

Seriously. You're rambling, dude.

Isn't that the truth. Talk about your incompetent jackasses. I hate him. He's a forth string Canadian player at best. We need a real QB.

I can't pass this up. Yet another reason why da Boys will always be superior to the Redskins.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B
