The now legal Orakphold

I know complaining about the refs is weak and it normally is. This stuff going on with Orakpo is nothing short of disgusting. If he were a Cowboy or Raven, the call would be made every time.

Here are the images. When police have this sort of evidence in a crime, they get the assailant to make a plea bargain.

Looks like a more blatant clothesline than this....

I'm not even that upset about this (although I was yelling at my TV during the play). It has been happening all year.

Yup. I was screaming my butt off, but it's been going on all year. I'd like to read the letter Shanny writes to the league office.

What's amazing was the dynamic duo of Moose and Goose explaining that it really isn't a play that gets called very often. Something about his hands being up

What a joke

They'll be sending him a letter about his fine after his comments about it post game.

Exactly, my wife is tired of it. She said that I should just expect it by now.

That picture looks very much like the Alex Baron hold on Orakpo in the 1st game of the season. We all know how that turned out.

I didn't think he said anything that could warrant a fine... he refused to go into the details of his conversation with the ref. I'm pretty sure coaches are allowed to express their opinion when they think the refs blew a call.

If they do, he should just not pay it and if they ask where the money is he should say "I guess I didn't see it, I was looking downfield."

Leave the toilet seat up and see if she has the same opinion.

hahah, minus on Sundays, I have a good marriage. I'd like to keep it that way.

this hold really makes you mad because he was definetly going to atleast sack freeman on the play if not strip the ball and it was 3rd down

RedskinsDave · #15 12-12-2010, 05:00 PM

At least we have a little taste of how it would have felt had there been no call in the Dallas game. Maybe Jerry Jones is giving bonuses to the guys who let this call go the rest of the season.
