NFL concedes mistakes by officials (in Redskins-Cowboys game)
Washington Times ^ | Sep. 29, 04 | Mark Zuckerman

Posted on 09/28/2004 10:57:53 PM PDT by churchillbuff

Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs yesterday expressed displeasure with a pair of officiating calls in Washington's 21-18 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, and the NFL responded by conceding its crew made two mistakes. A club source said league officials reviewed the two plays in question — a pass interference call on Redskins cornerback Walt Harris in the first quarter, and a no-call on a deep pass to Rod Gardner in the fourth quarter. The league conceded error in both cases.

Nobody dies, nobody goes to jail.

"People in blue states hate the Cowboys."

Not true. I'm in a Blue State (IL) and 'like' the Cowboys, and have for years and years - after Da Bears of course.

The Cowboys were years ahead of every other team in how they scouted, rated and drafted players -- Computerization (Tex Schram was a genius in that respect). While teams like 'Da Bears' were stuck in the 1940's with that stoo-pid 'BLESTO'; Bears, Lions, Eagles, Steelers scouting combine.

And Da Coach did play for them, so that helps too.

Parcells was smart enough to keep Dat, a defensive player that in a Parcell scheme is a square peg in a round hole, and Dat is just so much fun to watch, Asian Dynamite.

Exactly right. Who cares? Mistakes matter on the ground in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. This is a friggin game played by many who are punks. I like Joe Gibbs but he should have run for a Senate seat if he was bored with racing.

"...but Gibb's was the better coach in this matchup..."

Long-time Redskin fan here. Gibbs was horrible. You have one of the premier running backs in the league who can practically gaurantee 5 yards a pop and you spend the entire first half trying to prove (futile as it was) that you have a passing game? 1st and goal and you send your quick and speedy running back straight into the line multiple times? Clinton Portis is no Gerald Riggs. And that's a good thing. Use the kid's speed and quickness. Sorry, but Joe Gibbs had his head up his butt. And I actually like the guy (except I am a DEI fan...)

The Boys would not have beaten Gibbs without the bad calls.

LOL! How many times was Gibbs in the red zone and had to settle for a field goal?

If you have to blame the refs for a loss, you didn't play hard enough.

I think Roy Williams is good for about one knocked out opposing team player per game. :) I haven't seen a player like him since Ronnie Lott in his prime.

Speaking of D-backs who could bring the "wood", Jack Tatum once remarked that he would try to hit an opposing play so hard it would make his "snot bubble". He usually came through.

He'd run as a Republican. He has donated to R's. (no d's on the list I looked at yesterday.....some link, "meat...."-something or other)

Gibb's is a class act. Why he appeared to snub Pacells is something I'd like to know. Completely out of character for him.

I pay almost no attention to pro football and didn't know anything about that. Guess I should go back and scan some more of the thread.

Gibbs appears to be a been-there-done-that kind of guy. For his sake I hope the Redskins gig was not a 'trying to go home again' kind of thing.

On the First Call, Glenn CLEARLY grabbed a handful of Jersey and threw the guy off balance, to prevent an interception and possibly get the PI call.

Smart recievers do it all the time. Had that Been a JET covering him, I would have burst a Blood Vessel, but, I hate Washington....lol

I'm not saying that we didn't suck, and that there seemed to be a "force-field" between the players and the end zone, BUT.............

The officiating in the Viking / Philly Monday night game should be looked at too!

but had his best years with the Jets under Parcells Charlie Weiss, the guy running the Patriots O now.

He is the reason Brady looks so good.

Write it Down NOW. IF Weiss leaves NE, they will never be the same again.

Oh. And the big Cowboy fans (that were part of the reason we hated the Cowboys) were Carter supporters. We were for Reagan.

Huh? This is totally wrong.

And afterwards was on the Cowboys coaching staff for years. He was great.

I'm for Dallas but the officials really blew those calls. They were obvious and probably changed the outcome of the games. I don't like to win games like that.

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

And those two teams are obviously mutually exclusive.

Before anyone flames me for what I'm about to say, sinkpur here has heard me talk about how big a Tuna fan I am, and have been since he coached the giants. But....

I've seen it discussed on football message boards that many longtime members of the NFL coaching fraternity have lost respect for Parcells.

And this Peter King article talks about why.

Again, I'm just reporting what I've read.

Go falcons.

The Cowboys will never win another Super Bowl as long as Jerry Jones and his ego own the team. Parcells will be gone and back at CBS in two seasons. There's a new team in town and the Cowboys are loosing market share to it and still have yet to beat it.
