Detroit just got screwed by dumb ass NFL rules

[Cornelius]

Detroit looked like shit offensively in the second half. Schwartz was at fault for throwing the flag, but come on, man, there is no way the whistle shouldn't have been blown there. One thing I'm happy about is that at least it was an exciting game. I've been through enough Lions Thanksgivings to be thankful for that.


Also, lol@Primetime. Faggot being faggot, nothing new here.

Who watched the Falcons this past week? Somebody told me Mike Smith threw the challenge flag on a play where his own player scored, and ate the 15 yard penalty in exchange for not having the play reviewed.

Did that really happen?

I know he tried to challenge an Atlanta turnover before the replay booth could called for a replay.

Homer being homer. Keep supporting the retard you have coaching your team.


This scenario has happened multiple times this season btw....not sure who hasn't seen this before.

Ur such a fucking idiot. It was a bad call and u know it. Why go against the grain?

He's right. The coach screwed his own team over. He knows the rules and shouldn't have challenged the play. Coach Jim F'd up big. It's a rule, and we have to live with it until the rule gets changed. It's a stupid rule. A very stupid rule. It needs to be changed before the start of next season. But Coach Schwantz F'd up.

Glad you can read that I said he was at fault. Go fuck yourself.:kobe:

You blamed the rule more so. Glad you think you're own coach should be fired though. I agree :thumbsup:

I said he was at fault, but the whistle should've been blown. I understand reading isn't your strong suit, so maybe you should just stop doing it. I'm sure you'll respond to this with more faggotry about something I didn't say, but that's your deal, so go for it.

cool story bro, blaming the Lions coach is wrong? So he didnt throw the flag? and throwing the flag is not against the rules? so Detroit was clearly screwed? :tellmemore:

We got hosed on quite a few calls in the game today, not just this one.

Cam Newton sucks too bitch.

Ohhhhh.... no bad calls towards the Texans or any other teams in the NFL tho amirite? This thread is about this retarded cunt saying the Lions got screwed over on that play, your coach screwed you over, not the refs. He knows the rules, people can say the rule is dumb all you want, still have to abide by them.

 

[ryne candy]

Only way I see that the refs actually screwed the Lions would be if someone could prove the Texans wouldn't have scored in the next play/possession....of course we can't. But we can prove that the game would have been over had the Lions kicker made the FG. I'm sure there will be enough outcry that the NFL will have to look at changing the rule. Think they should just give a 15 yard penalty but still review the play.

 

[Houston]

Great awareness by Forsett, dumb move by Jim Schwartz. Texans touchdown!

Cry about it. Not only did we get screwed by shitty rules vs the Saints week 7 but the ruling was wrong as well simply because Josh wasnt out of the pocket, should have been illegal contact. Besides that, fuck Detroit. Remember in 2010 when we missed the playoffs by 1 game. Kellen Winslow got hit with a phantom OPI that took at TD off the board that would have won us the game vs Det. We ended up getting a letter of apology from the league and Detroit fans gave less than a shit about being fair and just then. :dealwithit: Everyone gets dealt bad cards and nobody gives a fuck until it happens to them.

You're missing the point of the thread, it wasn't even made by a Lions fan. It was made to discuss a shitty rule that needs to be changed.

Not disputing that but my comment was directed towards the brotroit crew, most of whom have been douche bags when the shoe has been on the other persons foot in the past.

 

[Maynard]

i would love to know what the NFL mindset was when they included this rule. ok guise, lets give them a penalty for throwing the red flag on a play thats auto reviewed...but on top of that, lets not review the play.

not reviewing the play is ridiculous and i would like to know why that rule was added

Sorry.

This rule sucks, and it bit the Falcons in the ass last week. Me and my buddy who came over to watch the game spent about 20 minutes bitching about how dumb and illogical the enforcement of that "penalty" is.

Anyway, glad it happened in a game that a lot of people were watching so now everyone knows how dumb that rule is.

 

[Houston]

But what an entertaining game it was.

 

[BigBucs]

Sorry.

 

[packersfan4eva]

I understand the Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty, but to then cancel the fucking penalty? How dumb can you possibly be?

"Well, since you think the ref's horribly blew that call, we'll just not challenge it. How's that for fair?"
