Redskins were holding Jones and others for much of the first half

I know we had a lot of problems and most likely would have still lost the game, but did you see how Jones was held over and over again? It seems like the referees adjusted and started calling holding and the Offensive line of the Redskins stopped doing it, after that I believe we only gave up like 3 points. I know they were playing conservative and everything after they got up 21-0 but I wonder how dejected that makes a Defense feel and if it changes the feel of the entire game..

They were going to win easily anyways but the play where Chandler got a penalty for piling on Smith late was directly because he was held so much. He got held on that play, got mad and came back late not sure if Smith was down or not and got a late hit penalty.

Smith fumbled the ball .If that was anybody but a qb that call doesn't happen . Stupid call...imo

Saw quite a bit of holding on the Skins. Not calling it fine but you sure saw everything our secondary did.

Wetzel too but I don’t blame him.

The penalty on Jones on Alex was pure garbage! I was there....the ball came out and Alex grabbed the ball and started crawling forward....Jones didn't slam him or anything other than make sure he was going to be down by contact.

That was such a weak call. Great move by a defender that saw the QB grab the ball and begin crawling (forward progress) - still untouched at the time. By the time Jones jumped on him it appeared that another player had gotten to Smith, but it was not like Jones did it to pile on at all.

Walt Coleman and his crew are consistently the worst in the NFL. I can't remember a time he has been in AZ that wasn't a complete officiating disaster.
