that ESPN has sold out to the NFL. Not a single replay of the bullshit calls in this game. Not one. This may not be news to some of you but this is getting blatantly obvious. This game has been unwatchable and not just for the turnover in players.
But I am pretty sure they are not going to call the games this way when the regular season starts. They're being instructed to go a bit overboard to really try and hammer it home and hope the players respond to it.
If this leaks into games that count, there will be an uproar. It's not watchable.
If you want to call "touching" a penalty, make it a 5 yarder, not an automatic first down.....that penalty, like pass interference, is too open to interpretation of the rules....
Lots of talent but can't help himself from running, and then he gets hit. He's limping already. Washington could be pretty good this year if Cousins plays and stays in the pocket. I did see the "bird flip" and I still have a bet that Manziel gets taken out by somebody this year, he seems waaaay too arrogant. If I need a long third down, I would just have my receiver get close to the defender and stay with him to get the call. This could get ugly as the NFL devolves into arena football.
is going to change that much. He's taken a bunch of hits, with one especially hard on the sidelines. He won't last if they keep hitting him.
Another defensive hold. This is crazy.
I don't know why his coaches let him do this in preseason. They should tell him to throw it away or even give it away. Watching him slide is almost painful - he makes Eli look athletic!
People can judge quarterbacks in any way that they like
But I am convinced that some players just have the ability to avoid big hits. It is probably an instinctual thing but it is blindingly obvious that RGIII cannot avoid the big collision. Kaepernick can, RGIII can't. That is why the long range arc of the RGIII era does not worry me.
Cousins was the best QB on the field last night and that isn't saying much at all. He is an NFL-quality player but he isn't the man to lead that team deep into the playoffs. Typical lolskins

I hope to god ours does SOMETHING positive on Friday night.
When does the NBA start? More contact allowed there than this pansy ass sport.
Game sucks with all these flags.
Redskins need four tries to get in from the one. Great play by Morris.
They'd face worse backlash than the replacement officials, and I really do think ratings would start to sag.
Are college officials going to call games this way?
HAH!
If this leaks into games that count, there will be an uproar. It's not watchable.

Kirk Cousins wouldnt make that throw and would have more zip on it. He should start.
