So after watching that vid, does anyone else think that Offensive Pass Interference was the right call? It looks like Moss literally shoves the Pats "DB"

Moss is apparently complaining about the refs. Guess he forgot the drops he had ...

InsaneBoost · « **Reply #2601:** December 12, 2011, 03:33:26 PM »

It was the right call. Moss just doesn't know the rules and has become an idiot over the last couple of years. Two games in a row he's cost the Redskins, hope he's gone next season.

I also like the idea of signing Flynn as a FA,

Flynn may end up being this season's Scott Mitchell.

It never ceases to amaze me how people are willing to make such a crucial determination off of one freaking game (a game in which he threw a crucial interception at the end of the game that essentially lost the game).

If Griffin is over 6', then I want him.

How dumb is it to base this on whether the player is an inch shorter or taller?

I would not at all be shocked if Shanny selects him.

I would be completely shocked.

Luck is.supposedly 6'3" or 6'4" .... Griffin looks over 6' to me.

You'd draft him number one based on that and later learn that he was wearing elevator shoes and immediately look to trade him.

Well, that and an official measurement at the Combine ....

I just don't see why height should be such a difference maker in your book since you are so high on him to begin with. If you think the man can play who gives a crap if he is 6' or 6'1"?

Slateman · « **Reply #2608:** December 12, 2011, 06:29:22 PM »

Because the number of successful NFL QBs under 6' is rather small. Brees is about it. At least in the last 20 years.

Becomes really hard to see over your 6'4" linemen.

Theismann was 5'11", but used his mobility to find slots to throw through.

didn't Canada merge with the US sometime around the discovery of a profitable way to convert Bitumen into crude?

Last 20 years. The NFL game has changed dramatically since Joe Theismann.

You're clearly the expert here, you tell us what should happen then.

I think Welker will end up having a better career than Harrison... Rice, no, but the stat is still valid.

You're right that they will be compared, I just don't think it's that valid of a comparison. And Matt Barkley is a completely different guy since he's a pocket quarterback. The issue with RG3's weight is that it might cause him injury problems in the NFL as a runner.

500+ more receptions and 7,000 more yards? It's possible he'll get to the catches, but I doubt he gets to the yardage mark. He's a great player, no doubt about that.

Yea, he was. I'm pretty sure it was Kyle trying to get the fan base to like Grossman.

You know, that, as crazy as it may sound, wouldn't surprise me to be the case. The guy obviously had a lot of time on his hands to break all that crap down. His "predictive model" on QBs was pretty laughable.

Yeah, I saw your comment, I didn't mean for mine to be a contradiction, but was just chipping in my two cents.

Maybe Mark Lerner does the same here.

BTW, Polumbus played well at RT in place of Brown. And Smith also had a solid game. He did get beat on two plays (one for a sack that was crucial) but for an undrafted rookie getting his first action ever he held up nicely once he shook off the early nerves.
