    This is from the PPG
    Case of the drops
    Unofficially, the Redskins were credited with seven dropped passes in the game. And on many occasions, drops stopped drives or prevented scores.

    Hey, Mikey 7 drop did that by himself last week

    All of the drops were catchable, even if the our players were trying to seperate
    the ball from the receiver.Where I come from if you can touch it you better be catching it.

    maybe they soaked their balls in water before they played with them.

    Definitely should do their best to keep those balls dry.

    And warm too. When the balls get cold, they have a tendency to shrivel a bit and the outside can get a little tough. It may make them harder to handle.

    Skins dumbest pass play, sending RG down the sideline as a receiver, later shanahan said i'm a moron for calling that play: Yeah coach I have to agree especialy since RG was just coming off of a concussion and you almost got him another one when he got layed out by Clark.....

    On the one where the guy dropped a possible TD pass, didn't they score the TD that drive anyway? - thus that drop really didn't matter.
