Redskins 5 downs?

[bookie nightmare]

I didnt watch the game .. had the redskins +1.5 and saw they got stopped on 4th down the next thing I knew they scored a TD ... A buddy told me after the game that the Skins got 5 downs? is he messin with me or can someone confirm this?

Not sure but consider yourself lucky you didn't watch, the Skins are hard on the eyes.......

They gave em the TD and then made them miss the xtra point so they could cover with the 2 points

Technically no. On 3rd down they spotted an Anthony Armstrong catch a 1st down, when he was clearly short by nearly a yard. Despite being short they moved the chains and counted it as a first down. Bad spot led to them being able to score the touchdown after what would have been a 4th down incompletion, that was actually 2nd down due to the bad spot.

That is not correct. First down- Nine yard catch. Second down-Missed fade in EZ. Third down- Run for loss of 5. Fouth down-Pass out of the EZ. FIFTH down-TD. Watched it. BAD CALL!
