Five Downs

[3rdmckid]

funny thing to me is...............i desprately wanted to see a different angle on the replay because I don't think the guy was touched and/or down by contact ????? The circumstances didn't really allow for it and because I was watching on redzone I never got an opportunity to see 1 ??? anyone else think that at all ????

I did nt watch the game but as an official here is my take.the down marker was on the 3 yard line.the unoffical yellow line was on the 2. My question is what happened to the clock after the pass to the 2.5 yard line.if it was a first down clock shold have stopped until first down marker was set.i noticed at the end of the first down catch it was :42 when the next play went off it was :32.did washington call a timeout or what happened this video does not show.also during the regular part of a game any official on the field can signal 1st down.inside of 2 minutes or in crucial parts of games usually the white hat gets everyone together and says guys ok look at me and let me make a decision.the last thing as an official u want is for one guy to signal 1st doen and 1 guy signal 2nd.that is what gets us yelled at the most.as long as both people on the ball agree then they might still argue with us but i can say we had both guys there and they both saw the same thing.i wish the camera would have shown the white hat to see if he signaled first down.believe it or not some refs do get lazy and might say it on field but wont make the signal

tech buddy, this was the other strange part of this game.........redskins had time outs left but d.mcnabb didn't want to use one for some reason ???? Shanahan came running down the side line to get an official to call t.o. ???? Really strange ending....Maybe coach bet on team and the qb took the rival team ????? JK !! LOL !
