NFL 2015 Week 13 |OT| - A Fraud Gorged on Thanksgiving

Can't fault the ref for that facemask call. His him in the mask and then yanked him by the collar, in real-time that's essentially indistinguishable from a foul.

Agreed, and the defensive player barely had to touch Rodgers at that point... Two guys on one quarterback with nowhere to go. Just hug him

Eh poor lions.
 
There are blown calls all the time in this league. A blown call does not forgive the stunning ability to give up a 70 yard hail mary. You don't get to complain when you D gives up a hope and a prayer pass. Sorry lions fans.

Lions can complain about the refs screwing them in the Seahawks game. Not this one.

20-0 but one call cost them the game fan logic

The Packers were down by 20? I missed the game until the last few minutes. Didn't realize it was that bad.

Im sorry, but the ref shouldnt be blamed here, not when the Lions were up 20-0 at the start of the second half and could only score 3 points trough the remaining of the game.

Are you sorry? You don't seem sorry!

(Sorry not sorry?)

It was a weak penalty, but you can see why the Head Ref called it from his position (Behind Rodgers). He saw the head jerk to one side and thought facemask. Now he did get a very tiny piece of the facemask, but it was just enough.

The Defense shouldn't have let that happen though. You had 2-3 Packers players in front of them and were able to box out the Lions defenders. It was pretty ridiculous.

hey so who was that Lion that didn't even run to the end zone?

Ngata also loafed as Rodgers scrambled. There's way too much fuckery on tape for Caldwell to keep his job. Attention to detail is poor. Situational football is bad. Dumb penalties. Dumb timeouts

Oh boy... Kam forced fumble. No one to be where to near to recover the fumbled ball. If everyone knew the rules. K. Wright will recover the fumble ball in touchdown zone.
End of debate.

This is kind of different because phantom call on facemask when defender's hand is on his shoulder as replay showed that obviously.

Yes. Detriot Lions shouldn't even allowed to have 70 yard pass TD. It sucks to lose that way after that game saving call.

At the end... Refs fucking sucks.
 
He wasn't wrong to call it.. He should have. It was right when it happened

Don't give up a 70 yard touchdown in the endzone and don't put your hands near the facemask.

Putting your hands near the facemask is legal.

You can say that call falls within the reasonable range of human error but doesn't change the fact that it was an incorrect call.

If every play was reviewable then there wouldn't be an issue.
 
I'm sure this will get lost in the hail mary excitement, but why the hell did the clock not stop when Richard Rodgers ran out of bounds with the football after a catch with about 4:00 left in the game? It seemed like quite a few seconds ran off the clock...
 

Secondary should be ashamed. Inexcusable.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should and that play is why you shouldn't as he clearly nicked it.

If he is right to call it and he was.. It was the right call.

And we aren't Canadian.. if you wanna review penalties.. Mail Goodell.

Going out of bounds only stops the clock if you are moving forward.

His forward momentum was stopped in bounds before he went out.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Loving the damning evidence in those pictures. Caldwell is a terrible coach.
