He just rolls his eyes and walks away. It's very annoying. I was surprised and impressed that he reacted the way he did when that dummy 92 had a penalty on a field goal try. Growth? He still should have attempted the kick to go up by 10, but that where he regresses to his norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Everyone has different looks for upset and frustrated. Gruden’s players know his reactions better than us, and I’ve seen him be visibly upset with players and he’s benched players since he got here if they underperformed. Cousins, RG3, Amerson and Droperts to mind in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavar703 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The odd thing is the amount of people saying "it never should've come down to that". Guess what, it did and the refs who get paid to know the rules, completely blew it. Just because the Redskins choked the lead away doesn't mean the rules suddenly don't apply and that it's okay to just get things wrong. Theres absolutely no doubt in my mind, with the way Rose has been kicking that he would've put it through the uprights. However, we'll never know because a ref that was first hired in 1989 somehow doesn't know the rules. Apparently this is acceptable by NFL standards because they don't seem to care that it happened.

No, coaches cannot challenge penalties. That rule change has been proposed multiple times the past few years, but it hasn't been approved. 2. Even if it was allowed, the clock was within the two minutes before the end of half/game when coaches cannot challenge at all. It sucks knowing that once again the Redskins got the screw job from the refs, but it isn't that surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
