[Week 1] Detroit @ Chicago

[jags224]

that was the worst call ever oh my god. im not a fan of either team but im still pissed the lions lost that game because of that call, he clearly caught the ball it was obvious he didnt bobble it or anything caught it and then got excited and jumped up and kind of used the ball to lift himself up which made him lose the ball. thats insane..

 

[Apocalypse]

I can see the process argument, but some of the announcers and other people brought up the situation that a player diving in the endzone, the ball breaks the plane and as soon as he hits the ground, the ball pops out, but 9/10 they call it TD, i think it's a very similar situation, and we're the 1/10.

Shitty game by both teams, especially the Lions...oh well.
0-1.

Should be a catch but according to NFL rules, it isn't. Whatever, should have never even come to that.

 

[1ke]

Well....the offense had over 450 yards. Thats ok isnt it?

Also this catch shit.... Great catch, but a rule is a rule and the rule was enforced correctly. Its just that the rule is wrong. Sucks for the Lions. But Chicago made things way more difficult than it needed to be.

 

[Buzzman]

Chicago got fucking man handled in the 2nd half. They are lucky Lions offense sucked dick.

 

[ryne candy]

We got lucky but I'll take it. It will help us finish 3rd in the division.

Hmm, after the seasons ends, all anybody will see is Bears win, Lions lose in week 1, and that's all that matters.

Except if they end up changing the rule you because of this.

 

[zack54attack]

The Lions didn't get screwed.

A rule is a rule, whether it's a dumb rule or not. The refs made the correct call.

 

[zack54attack]

BTW, Fire Lovie Smith.

 

[Buzzman]

They still got screwed even though its a rule. That's like saying the Raiders didn't get screwed with the tuck rule. They got fucked, just like Detroit.

 

[Rush]

Win is a win. Especially a division win, I don't care how we got it.

 

[jags224]

Just like the NFL pick em rule?

 

[1ke]

Well Bears 1-0

Lions 0-1

Ill take it. Just dont know why Lovie didnt just kick the damn FG.

It's a dumb rule, I agree. But it's the ruling, and the ref made the right call.


The rule needs to be ousted with though.

If Stafford is back. Wait till we play you guys in September. You could barely beat us without our quarterback and it took an odd NFL rule to win the game. It really shouldn't have come to down to that, Lions were handed that game in a gift wrapped basket but oh well.

Yeah you're 1-0, but you also found out that your team is nearly worse than the Lions.

Next year?

 

[mgoblue2290]

Next year?

I meant December, but we can beat you in Soldier field next September too if you want.

I'll take that bet.
