Wow. The refs hosed the Lions.

Only winless team in the NFL.

The 49ers are winless

Meh, it isn't like we aren't used to it (Calvin rule, Dallas playoff, etc).

If it was gonna happen to someone, it was gonna happen to the Lions.

[Voltaire 4,550]

The time the RB was down by contact but followed through to the endzone and scored a TD. Gym Shorts threw the flag to challenge the call. Since it was a scoring play it was automatically reviewed.

 

The refs decided that the play was now unreviewable since the flag was thrown on a play that was under review automatically and that instead of reviewing the play, Detroit would be charged a delay of game penalty.

[Mike Honcho 3,994]

Think of the conntroversy if it had happened to a professional team.

[edjr 5,538]

Once it was close, I stayed up just to watch the Lions fock it up, some way, some how.

 

I never thought that would be how they would fock it up.

 

My chick was sitting there doing homework and the baby was sleeping and the dude punched it out of the end zone. I jumped up and said WTF he can't do that!

 

I became a lions fan for a moment there. Fock my life.

I thought the same thing. 'He can't do that can he?' The announcers didn't say anything. It was such an obvious thing that I thought I must be wrong about the rule. Caldwell and the Lions didn't argue it either as far as I could tell. You know a guy like Belichick would have gone stopped the game to argue. And maybe the refs would come to their senses.

[edjr 5,538]

This is what truly makes the NFL laughable.

 

7 million and 7 months (which isn't even over) spent on air in a football and this they will just brush off. Something that DEFINITELY more probable than not, cost a team a win.

 

focking laughable.

[tubby_mcgee 685]

Ref (back juge) didn't know the rule. Plain and simple...he should be fired. D.O.N.E.

integrity of the game you say

[NewbieJr 540]

How is it that Seattle comes out smelling like a rose every time the refs blow a call?

 

And with all the money at stake, plus the short NFL season making every game so important, isn't there something in place to prevent an official not knowing the rules from reversing the outcome of a game? Head of referees can't call the press box and get a message down to the game referee? Unreal. Seattle should be 1-3. This will end up getting them into the playoffs, I bet.

Don't worry Newbie. The NFL will get to the bottom of air in the footballs. You are dreaming if you think they will do anything about this.

[Mike Honcho 3,994]

Belicheck is fuming since THIS was exacty what his team has been practicing to use NEXT week

[RLLD 3,452]

Anyone remember where the rule came from, the game and the team who gamed the rule to run out the clock?

[RLLD 3,452]

LMFAO, I do not doubt he had this scripted as a goto cheat for just the right moment.

[Reality 2,710]

It's this simple.

 

What an absolute embarrassment that almost certainly cost a team a win.

Is there any such thing as a punishment SOP for officials, can they actually be held directly accountable?

[NewbieJr 540]

I know they can't at this point. They already released a statement that the back judge knew the rule but in his opinion, it wasn't purposely batted out.

 

100% total bullsh1t, but there's no way they can come out and say that the dude didn't know the rule and it decided the game.

Maybe he thought the player was tucking the ball.

[peenie 1,690]

one day it will come out that there is corruption in these games.

i think you guys are too close and knowledgeable to see it, while i know hardly anything and it looks rigged to me.

I agree.....they've been winning the controversial calls since that Monday Night Packer Game.

Agree. Over the last 20 years or so this has become more and more of a thing, there has to be more to it. Pointing it out tends to elicit a visceral response of course, so that is an added protection.

[RLLD 3,452]

Maybe they are the new protectorate team, mysteriously garnering lucky breaks and calls far more than other teams.

[RLLD 3,452]

Holy crap, Roosevelt Colvin tweeted that bellicheat DID in fact have the Patriots practice doing this.....was there ever any doubt? Predictable as always, if there is a way to cheat, the Pats already have it drawn up

[vuduchile 1,940]

We all know the Lions are going nowhere this year, and I give them a 50/50 chance of being stuffed at the 6 inch line if they do get the ball back.

 

But, it still sucks that the blown call had such an impact on the game.

[edjr 5,538]

 

you are a sad sad man. Let It Go

Yea im guessing they would have found another way to screw it up had they gotten the ball back.

[Big Guy 1,400]

Dez caught it!

What a sad little man you are

[joneo 529]

Fock this!!! First of all, I hate Seattle. The Lions lost fair and square. The defender had the following choices:

 

1. Grab the ball and kneel down. (result: Seattle ball at 20 yard line)

 

2. Try to grab the ball and fumble it out the end zone. ( result: Seattle ball at 20 yard line)

 

3. Grab the ball and have momentum carry him through the end zone. ( result: Seattle ball at 20 yard line)

 

4. Grab the ball and try to make a 99 yard return which could result in a fumble. ( He obviously didn't want to do that since he batted it out of the end zone)

 

Regardless, Calvin Johnson fumbled and the end scenario came to fruition: The Lions lost. / of discussion!

Belicheck is like 10 levels of consciousness above your paranoid delusions.

 

Isn't there a real estate agent you should be chewing out for felonious economic collapse?

[Djgb13 2,338]

I'm no referee but I could have told you that was illegal even if I didn't know the exact name of what it was. As a professional referee in the NFL you should know ALL the rules. The fact that this ref is now saying he didn't believe it was intentional is a flat out lie. No way looking at that is it not intentional.

He actually had one more choice...to illegally bat the ball out of the end zone. (Result: Lions ball at the 6 inch line )

 

Guess which one he chose?
