Joe Cuck is still the worst commentator in football. He is better at wearing makeup and dresses.

 

[Moab]

Too many mental mistakes to put it on the refs. Lions should have won easy if they didnt have their heads up their asses.

More importantly, how did the refs do?

 

[Edonidd]

Clearly a ref fuck up as you see more.

Goff sends Decker out ofvthe huddle to report as eligible. Decker goes over to the ref and tells him he's eligible. Ref is fucking stupid and screwed the Lions with his ineptitude.

 

[Old Lion]

even if this were true.
I guess it would still be a penalty because he was covered up or whatever that stupid formation rule is.

Correct. Illegal formation anyway.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Why are you ignoring the offsides on Dallas. The attempt came inside the 3 or 4

I’m not. I listed it. Their trick play worked and there was a penalty. At some point, you take your bruises and kick the damn ball. It’s stupid to go for it 3 times in a row to determine the seeding you worked for all year. Plain and simple

I only saw parts of game, but those last 10 minutes were electrifying. Looked like they favored the Cowboys a bit toward the end, there were 2 clear DPI. And the story goes on …

The calls they missed didnt have too much effect. Lions could have still won. Refs were not horrible.

This is true, Lions had several chances to win it. That 2nd INT was bad omen. Hell of a drive for the late TD, not many teams can do that.

 

[Stlducks]

All the talk about the ending but this game wouldn't have been close if 55 on the Lions made the easiest sack ever for the safety instead of a 97 yard TD.

That is a 9 point swing, Lions get the ball and have all the momentum.

Even Troy said exactly what I said when it happened. " I dont even know what that was"

also as a side note.
He kicks a FG after the fake punt. They dont need a 2 pt conversion.

I saw JJ Watt tweet that it looked like a player scared to get a roughing the passer hit, which I can see.. But you still just wrap him up right there, he's a sitting duck.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Dan Campbell said in his presser he was told by the refs two players cant report in the same play......

 

[Edonidd]

Ref didn't know the rules. OR ..... nobody in the media, including the annoying 'Rules expert's' knows the rules.

Ref explained to Dan Campbell that only one player can report as eligible.

 

[broncosmitty]

Coach Mongo go for win.

Coach Mongo sad.

Well the good news for the refs. Even though they completely fucked that shit up.
It didnt change the game since there would have been other penalties anyways.

TBH agree. It usually evens out for all teams after about 5-7 years
