It sucked here, but I'd imagine it would of been a killer live. Still a great game to be at though.
The game was great. The facemask was a facemask, it was right in front of my seat. The ending sucked.

Watch the replay. It looked like a facemask, but by the letter of the rule it was not. Just grazed the mask and then grabbed and twisted the shoulder.
The bigger question is what what was fat ass NGata doing in on that play? He was just standing there. Why was Ziggy not in? Why weren't Fuller and CJ back in the end zone?

Taylor, for his part, knew that he had touched Rodgers’ facemask, but hadn’t yanked on it. He grabbed at the shoulder pads, a legal move.
Coach Jim Caldwell agreed: “Didn’t think it was,” Caldwell said. “But because you don’t think it was or I don’t think it was, it was called so therefore it is. And we just got to find a way to make a play.”
I don’t know why the refs called what they did. Growing up, I was always told by gravelly voiced NFL announcers that the refs put their whistles away in the final minutes of a game.
That didn’t happen here. I don’t know if the officials were hyped up and feeling the adrenaline of the final play, or saw a finger touch a facemask and instinctively went for the flags. I don’t know if it was a bad angle, or what. But Lions fans have every right to be furious.
They sure did swallow their whistle on the last play in the endzone. Did you see all that pushing and shoving going on with the ball in the air? That's exactly what you expect on the last play of a game,
In full speed it was a face mask call the ref has to make, in slow motion
That conservative bs in the 2nd half also lead to the loss. Coaching, coaching, coaching.
Fuck.
I'm fine with the call.didn't have to but it was the proper call for full speed
