The ole 84 game verus the Redskins what a game, we had no chance to win. If anybody thinks refs and leauge officals decides the outcome of a game go back and watch that game. It had to be one of the most biased games of all time.
Before the game started the refs and NFL knew who was the winner.
Our kicker did not have enough time to set up to get a decent shot.
Yep 10 penalties on us, 1 on them. The one penalty on them was a very late whistled false start that negated a sack by Curtis Greer. In the same game twice Theismann got out of in the grasp and chucked the ball away, no in the grasp called, no grounding called. So later when EJ Junior had him and Joe T tried to spin away, Junior spun him and threw him down. And of course they called roughing the passer.
That was the play that prompted Pat Summerall to say "if you take the aggression out of the game, the stands will be filled with no shows." I had that game on tape for years I finally got sick of it always ending the same way so I got rid of it. Even the announcers working the game were saying over and over how one sided the officiating was.
Lomax was brilliant but he had one crucial mistake. Roy Green was wide open but Neil was under pressure and tried to throw off his back foot. We were in FG range, the ball hung up, Darrell Green, who was badly beaten, got back and picked it off. That one play was just as bad as the missed FG at the end because if Neil jst threw the ball away, we're in easy FG range.
