ouch. that doesnt reach from another 5 yards. However, backing them up to that area of the field where a FG is too long makes it 4 down territory where, maybe washington ends up converting with TWO more plays.

I'm fine with declining the penalty. They probably pick up close to that, if not more, with a draw on 3rd anyway.

What was Goedert’s injury?

It pulled him down but wasnt much of a head turn. Soft to drop the ball on that one.

Is it not a penalty? There’s a reason why it’s a penalty in the rulebook.

come on dude

Ofc the dude is automatic against us. 

Hit 50s in the cold, better than Dicker the Kicker.

Have you watched the defense this game? You make them kick a 55 yarder.

Exactly

Why the F did we decline the penalty?

didnt want to give them TWO more plays I presume. Backing them up a bit further makes it 2 down territory. Too close to punt. Too far to kick.

Yeah i thought they should’ve accepted it to move them back 5 and then hoped they got a stop. I’m guessing maybe they didn’t trust the defense to get a stop

Redskins are playing dirty 

Declining the penalty is the right move. You play soft on that 3rd and 16, probably give up at least 5 anyway. No brainer.

He would’ve hit from 60

Our defense has played too many snaps already. Can't ask them for more.

who said that?

I’d love to see them play with an attitude on this drive on offense. F the refs for 2 horrible calls that have put us behind the 8 ball in a major way.

Another missed grounding 

He was out of the pocket that time, and ball got past the LOS.

Or get a hold. Or take a sack. Or throw incomplete and punt. 

More good outcomes than bad IMO.

Saw speculation it was shoulder, but also wouldn’t be surprised if he was getting a concussion test 

Im not sure why people are questioning declining the penalty. Defense has been bad most of the game and you force them to kick a 55 yarder. If the defense somehow gives up a 1st instead we'd be toast.

Here’s the replay you are telling me he didn’t pull his head and is soft? Lol

Im not telling you that.... relax with the strawman.

Mailata looks hurt now too

That hurts 

Yet somehow we managed to see that hold but not the facemask. Amazing 

oh thanks refs. weak hold there. not like you owed us for that facemask non-call.
