He redeemed himself by nailing a 59 yard game winning FG. Brett Maher had to nail a 52 yarder, but failed, because Jason Garrett doesn't think playing for the FG is smart, and his long snapper hates him. And, the big one: Justin Tucker, who until this afternoon I thought was a cyborg made to annoy the AFC North and the rest of the league with clutch field goals, missed a game tying PAT.
First mistake ever made by Ladouceur. He's been penalty and error free every snap since 2005 until now.
EDIT: Upon further review, Ladouceur did everything exactly the same as he always does. It was a bogus call. There were many bad calls in the game, so not surprising.
Actually, the officiating has been kind of crap all season. Anyone in favor of hiring full time officials?
Admittedly, Ladouceur did lift the ball of the ground (A bit) and flinched the ball. That drew the Washington defense offsides. Had the defenders not gone offsides, that does not get called. Still, there was no reason for that 47 yarder turned 52 yarder to even happen.
Should the team have tried to actually get further down the field and play for a win over the tie? Yes, but... yeah, I got nothing. Jason Garrett always plays for the tie in situations like that, and almost always fails because of it.
