But that said, the saying "never be in a position where the refs decide the game" exists for a reason. Both things can be true: 1. The refs made horrible calls 2. The lions decided to let off the gas faster getting off to a blistering start The one thing that does drive me nuts is that if you change either one, people assume the game plays out the same.

Rad Valtar posted:The first illegal hands to face directly led to a Packers TD the very next play instead of it being 4th down and either a punt or a field goal. Now you could say that "well you don't know what might have happened after that play.". You are correct we don't know because the Lions and the fans were robbed of the chance to see how differently the game would have played out with a correct no penalty call. More critically, it allowed the packers to run the clock out. Give me a few minutes, I need to check something.

Alright, an 18 run baseball game this season (just picked a random game) took 3:33 (213 minutes) to complete. There were 323 pitches in the game (no clue on pick off attempts), or a rate of about a pitch every 40 seconds (this usually holds true for most games, but  )The average NFL game is 3:12, but can vary (couldn't find the time for last night's). Assuming that was the actual length, 124 plays were run. A whopping 93 seconds***** on average happens between plays. Now, to be fair, this is stupidly inaccurate since in the middle of a drive, the play clock is 40 seconds. But once you factor in commercial breaks and halftime, the pace is slower than baseball. Would longer, slower feeling games be worth it for more reviews? You decide. And yes, small sample sizes etc. Also the NFL's mobile website sucks. E: if you go by 60m/ plays, it comes out to a much more realistic a play every 29 seconds iospace fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Oct 15, 2019 |

Hot Diggity! posted:We should have known that the reffing was going to be terrible when the Lions got a TD on 4th and goal, with one ref signalling for time, one signalling for Packers ball, and one signalling for TD. They ruled TD because it seems the refs have been instructed to call the result of a play that's automatically reviewable and then review it. That said, I don't think the lions would have won that challenge if it was called short. I personally didn't see it cross on replay but who knows.
