Josh Morgan commits 15 yard personal foul penalty by throwing the ball at Cortland Finnegan
Yesterday in the Redskins loss to the Rams, Josh Morgan made one of the worst boneheaded plays I have ever seen. Down 3 with 1:19 to play, the Redskins offense managed to get themselves in field goal range on a third down pass to Josh Morgan (we will excuse the fact that he should have turned up field and got a first down easy). Morgan than proceeded to throw the ball at Cortland Finnegan, and even the bumbling replacement refs know how to make that 15 yard personal foul penalty.
I am not here to kill Morgan, because everyone who has played sports in the past knows that sometimes in the heat of the battle things happen and you can easily make mistakes.
While I understand how something like that could happen, I am not giving him a pass for the play. This loss IS on Josh Morgan.
Many folks on Facebook and Twitter have been saying it is not Morgan’s fault Washington lost the game, and t...

Is this the dumbest penalty ever?

Josh Morgan is one of the biggest goats in D.C. after costing the Redskins a shot at victory by committing an incredibly dumb penalty against the Rams on Sunday.
The Redskins were down 31-28 and had a 3rd and 8 at the St. Louis 36 with less than two minutes left. Morgan caught a pass from Robert Griffin III and the ball would have been down at the 29 after a gain of seven. Washington...

My biggest problem with Josh Morgan’s bonehead move yesterday was not the penalty or even the action itself. The issue is that I sat on my couch and watched a player on my favorite team act like a 7-year-old getting called out in kickball — and I was not surprised at all.
It’s been going on for a while in DC. It seems every week we are in someones face, shoving players,...

Missed field goals and quarterback gaffes can be forgiven. Losing your cool and chucking a football at an opposing player? Well, that's something else -- especially if the hothead move costs your team 15 yards, a chance at a first down and maybe even the game. But Redskins coach Mike Shanahan, who is not known for taking much foolishness on his football teams, was pretty even...

Josh Morgan may have cost the Washington Redskins a chance at starting the 2012 NFL season 2-0. It is that easy.
With that being said, could the Redskins send a message to the rest of the team that stupid penalties will not be tolerated and cut their new wide receiver?

Josh Morgan may have cost the Washington Redskins the game yesterday vs. the St. Louis Rams. The ‘Skins wideout may have been playing in a game that the officials let get out of control. Cortland Finnegan may be an instigating punk who likes to goad other players into fighting back and prays they’ll get caught instead of him. Neither of those facts excuses Morgan for retaliating...

With the Washington Redskins trailing 31-28 against the St. Louis Rams with a 1:27 left on the clock.

Rams CB Cortland Finnegan has always taken pride in getting in the heads of opposing players. The scab refs inability to control the tone of games can benefit players like him.
