I am not sure why the Redskins were favored by the zebes to win, but I do know that the game should have gone into overtime. Geeez, just when you think there's gonna be a good game, some stripees have to remind us of unfair competition. Ken Glass houxf!glass

Knew this was going to come up. Yes, there were some questionable calls at the end of the game (particularly the holding). But some went against the Skins, also. Just a few plays earlier their was obvious pass interference that was not called. One parting shot about the pass interference call. The critical thing seems to be whether the ball was catchable. In a post-game interview, the defender said that he didn't think the ball was catchable. Then he stated that he pushed off on the receiver to make sure that he couldn't get to the ball, as it came over them. This sounds like somewhat of a contradiction. It is too bad that the game was decided by these calls, but the whole game was full of questionable officiating, and I don't think that it really favored one team over the other. Guess we will just have to put up with it until they go to "instant replay" officiating. -- eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!eric
