Reply With QuoteHow was the down-by-contact punt fumble questionable? He was touched on the ground with the ball in his possession.
Did Gibbs say anything about the time? Like sands through the hour glass, these are the Days of Our Redskins.
Gibbs bothered by questionable Monday night calls

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Apparently even a Hall of Fame coach doesn't get a break from the officials.
Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs on Tuesday reviewed the tape of the previous night's loss to the Dallas Cowboys and determined he was on the wrong side of "two awful calls."
"I don't get focused on that stuff. It doesn't do any good to talk about it," Gibbs said. "But I'll tell you this - you couldn't get anything farther from what should have been called in both cases. Both of them were touchdowns; both of them go against us."
Disputable calls that went both ways played a significant part in Dallas' 21-18 victory.
"You're frustrated. You're mad, and realize that in close games you need to have those things called correctly," Gibbs said. "I've been in it long enough to know that just doesn't happen sometimes, too. They miss a lot of stuff."
Gibbs was particularly unhappy with a first-quarter pass interference call on Walt Harris, who was grabbed first by Dallas receiver Terry Glenn. The 40-yard penalty gave Dallas the ball on the 1-yard line, and the Cowboys scored on the next play.
Then, in the fourth quarter, with Washington trailing 21-10, Rod Gardner just missed chasing down a long pass in the end zone with defensive back Terence Newman trailing.
That play was worth Gibbs' blow-by-blow review.
"The DB is at his back, not looking at all backward toward the passer," Gibbs said. "He's just looking at Rod. When he goes into the end zone he took his arm and he comes down and hooks Rod's arm and pulls it down before the ball got there."
Gibbs said both plays have been sent to the NFL office for review, the usual procedure for any calls that are questionable.
Gibbs didn't mention another call that went against the Redskins, a muffed punt jarred loose by Mike Sellers. The play was ruled down by contact.

He did not complain about the punt fumble, but he noticed the same thing me and everyone else did on those HORRIBLE calls in the endzone. I hope the league fines those refs 100k for costing the Redskins the game, that 100k might put a dent in what they had collected from Jerry Jones prior to the game.
I was referring to the article, not Gibbs.Gibbs didn't mention another call that went against the Redskins, a muffed punt jarred loose by Mike Sellers. The play was ruled down by contact.
Would you like some cheese with that whine, Oliver Stone?
yes, some Gouda please.
Gibbs was ticked
by the way he has more class then billl
but he could have looked at bill when he shoke his hand. however he admited he was outcoached and said bill was a great coach
?
What about having no time outs to stop the clock at the end of the game?
Gibbs is out of shape.
I hate the Cowboys, but damn, the whining is bull .
Sequ, you are the King of Whiners, you have no room to talk.
**** an A, Gibbs is pissed, those calls cost his team the win, that is not up for debate, everyone in the whole ing free world knows it, and the League will acknowledge it, no doubt about it.
They why are you talking about it you senile old bas ."I don't get focused on that stuff. It doesn't do any good to talk about it," Gibbs said.
I don't give a **** what you say Jim...sure they were bad calls. But those bad calls didn't make the Redskins O Line give up five sacks, those bad calls didn't keep the Redskins from failing to put it in the endzone at the 1 yard line, and those calls didn't take away the Redskins 2 timeouts in the 3rd quarter. Period.
Exactly ^ What he said.
It's blank, es.
:served
Talk about biting the hand that feeds...
I thought Jim was done with this argument.
Ducks...how does Joe have more class than Bill? Bill has done nothing but praise Gibbs all week leading up to the game.
Maybe Gibbs should go back to nascar, footballs clearly not his thing
Chicken move on Gibb's part
Aaahhhhhh, I love the sound of whiny, bitter Redskin fan early in the morning.
Sounds like.....
Victory.
Gibbs will be "bothered" by a lot more losses this season!
Aaahhhhhh, I love the sound of whiny, bitter Redskin fan early in the morning.
stick around, you ain't seen nothing yet.
listen, just cuz bill wants a hug and a kiss doesn't mean he's gonna get it every time......he shook his hand, bottomline. some of you wanted an ass grab maybe?
ignorant young boy calls gibbs senile old man....the irony continues.
and while none of the calls are excuses for the redskins poor and erratic play on offense (at times), they are an excuse for giftwrapping 7 dallas points. when you win by 3, those seven points mean alot. But contenders overcome bad calls, which is why i couldn't care less about them, it's over, the score won't change...kudos. See you in December, when hopefully the game will mean a uva lot more.
Turnabout is fair play Jim.
I used to go to a few Cowboys games every year growing up and I got real tired of seeing Redskin fan walking through the lobby of the Anatole, hooting and hollering and then rubbing it in when Theisman, Riggins and crew beat the Cowboys.
Reap the whirlwind.

BTW...No one wanted a smoochfest by Tuna and Gibbs but Gibbs conducted himself like a child who was told he had to shake someone's hand. He practically reached over to shake Parcell's hand without looking at him in the eyes. As soon as their hands touched, Gibbs was already doing a turnaround. Not the sign of a hall of fame coach....not even close....more like a sore loser. Take your loss, shake your opponent's hand, look him in the eye. This one game made me lose respect for Gibbs.
i'm sure he's losing alot of sleep over it max.
I think Gibbs made a mistake but its not like he has a pattern of this. He had just lost a big game to his team's biggest rival. He was frustrated and angry. With his track record of class, I think he deserves a pass on this.
You don't say, BigZak.
Heck, I doubt any here would lose sleep over what some other poster writes..much less an NFL HOF coach.
BTW...Water is wet.
