Who is Jeff and how did he manage to be worse than the 49ers and Rams?

I don't know enough about the ins and outs of NFL rules but I sincerely do not understand why the Lions should not have been given one more play on that drive. From the replay angles it look like the call on the field should have stood but ok whatever, but because the officials got the call wrong the first time the Lions lose the chance to run another play? That's real bad.

It was the right call and the right ruling on a game Detroit didn't deserve to win anyway :shrug:

I mean Atlanta didn't deserve to win after gifting those dropped balls for picks and dumb penalties but oh well.

except if they didn't call it a loving TD in the first place the Lions could have run another play. "oh we messed up lol sorry you lose now" is bullshit.

Deserving to win and having the opportunity to win taken away because of a stupid rule are two very different things. The Lions run defense was terrible, but their offense played well and they picked off Matty Ice a couple times and capitalized on those opportunities. They also engineered what could have been a game winning drive but we'll never know because the refs made the wrong call on the field and the Lions got penalized for said wrong call. That's a poo poo way to end a sporting event.

so the stupid rule was correctly applied?

Yes. Though I (as a partisan Lions fan) would argue that the ruling on the field should have stood.

And I'll fight you if you show me any video otherwise :colbert:

Tough loss and i didnt mean to minimize Detroit more than I meant to poo poo on my dumb team.

Y'all got a good team, it was an entertaining and stressful game. Good game Lion goons. Sorry for the poo poo ending.

No worries & TY, you're fine, I'm just tired of the Lions being the team that's on the losing end of a bullshit game-ending shenanigans. I mean that's part of being a Lions fan I guess but the Calvin Johnson rule was tough and this was even shitter, somehow
