Question for Redskins fans
 

This has nothing to do with this week's games, but since a lot of Skins fans are visiting this week it is a good time to ask this.

The year after Bill Polian got his new emphasis on pass interference into the rules, there were a lot of instances when teams would throw up a pass with less hopes of completion than of getting a large gain due to a gift interference call.

I remember one game in particular that I know involved the Cowboys and Terry Glenn, and I believe the opponent was the Redskins and that it was a Monday night game. I don't remember the particulars except that there were two egregious calls that both went against the same team one on offense and one on defense that were a striking example of the referees essentially handing the game to one of the teams over these bogus calls.

So do any of you Redskins fans remember the game and could you remind me of the details?

Yeah that was the Monday Night Miracle...

We won anyway. 2 bombs to Moss in under 2 mins.

I really don't think the refs are bogus. It's a tough job. I really want to believe they have more integrity than those in the NBA.

What Gr8est was pointing out is that if you use the competition committee to make rules and establish point of emphasis rules then isn't that a far worse crime. (ie cheating)

The whole idea of the salary cap was to knock down the dynasties of Dallas and San Francisco.

The competition committee isn't fair competition - its keep one or two teams from being better. (As in it's motto is Leave no Team behind)

Missed his point. Thanks for clarifying. Yes, in my opinion it is a far worse crime.

Yea, the Refs tried to hand Dallas the game. We just got super lucky with Brunell to moss for two 50+ yard scores in like 3 minutes.

I :enranged: :violent: :mad: that game. I had a 20+ point lead in a fantasy league and the only guy going for the other team was Moss. I went to bed in the middle of the 3rd quarter thinking I had locked it up and literally thought there was an error on yahoo when I first saw the standings the next day. :bricks:

Re: Question for Redskins fans
 

Haha... Yea that has to be one of the best victories ever for us.

Re: Question for Redskins fans
 

There you go then, something to hang your war bonnet on, a thrilling victory that amounted to jack squat in the grand scheme of things.

But hey, it made you happy for 12 seconds, so good for you.

That win helped us get to the playoffs that year.

I sense some baggage. No reason to be mean in a casual conversation.
