Yeah, it says a lot that only one of the most experienced former refs noticed it.
Damn, Ray wants to tar and feather this ref

It would be worse
I feel bad for Kas. Not even joking. And I'm a dolphins fan, usually I'm the one people feel sorry for. Stay up Kas! Come down to the OC I'll treat you some mariscos and some pho.

Give the win to the Lions and all will be righted.

The final 8 minutes of the game just became even more crazy.

I agree with cdy. What's the alternative? You think this ref purposely didn't call a clear as day penalty because he wants Seattle to win? No way. I think the ref made an honest mistake, didn't know the rule, or didn't know how it's applied. It's embarrassing for the league and that ref, but that happens.
FWIW, it's an incredibly rare rule... I've never seen a situation like that in my years of watching football.
Also, NFL would have loved Detroit to win that game OR at least be put back at the 1 yard line going into the endzone with 3 chances. No way that the NFL wants a team to be 0 - 4, and Seattle at 1 - 3 makes the season that much more interesting.
But Bread told me that the outrage is entirely due to the call itself, and not the team involved!

The Bears aren't last place for a week! w00t!
If the Refs don't know the rules, what good are they?
Well you don't respond to my sexts; so how else do I get your attention?
Plus - this is better than the dumpster fire that are my Dolphins.

PAY THE MAN!
We should enjoy it while it lasts.

Bring the teams back out.
No, I said the outrage is because of the enormity of the call and when it happened, not because of the team and some referee bias towards the Seahawks. Maybe I'm being lumped in with that crowd I guess?

You deserve the dolphins
Impossible. Staffords already at the buffet, getting that second tray of crab legs. It's done.
Yup, and while we're at it we need to bring the full teams from Super Bowl XL back out and replay that phantom rushing TD by the Rapist!
I'm joking Steelers-Age, relax

Can we bring Brady back out against the Raiders while we at it? Is Golden Tate gonna put on a Seahawk jersey and go back out against the Packers?
Same as always.
LOLLOLOLOLOL LIONS
just trust in your handsome quarterback, he will lead you to freedom!
But I thought everything about college football was worse than the NFL!

I'm with you on the enormity of the call and when it happened, but the outrage is like "omg outrage... the ref made a mistake."
and then, I just can't get that outraged at it.
? The right call was made?
Although, honestly, I could very well see that if the opposite happened In seattle the refs would have huddled and gotten the call right. I do think a lot of the crowd hype gets into that, and there's this collective mania on the field and refs don't make the right call. Where as if the stadium is a mausoleum, then the refs slow down and analyze it and don't get caught up in it.

Deflategate was a smear campaign. This is a legit scandal worthy of endless discussion.

You're taking this way too far buddy. We already gave you our blessing with the best SEAHAWK QB OF ALL TIME, AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY US?
i can get outraged at a referee not knowing the rulebook, this is embarrassing as fuck and unfair for the Lions.
Maybe you didn't see all the "Seattle always gets away with stuff like this!" posts.

Same as the reaction in this game: lol Lions
I mean, they kinda do. Just the way it is.
The outrage is basically because its a high profile nationally broadcast game and it probably cost the Lions a win. On top of it, this is the second time the refs managed to hose up a game winning call in Seattle. With the way the NFL punishes players and teams for the slightest missteps; the double standard for when refs HOSE things (see the Giants / Cowboys game with the fake PI against the Giants in the end zone) and get away scot-free (perception wise at least) grates on everyone.
Hush you. I restarted my Madden season just to try to create some scenario where they aren't a dumpster fire.
If it was the right call, there would be probably calls to change the rule (see: Calvin Johnson rule). If they say, ruled it incorrectly the other way (Lions guy tries to pick it up, kicks it out off bounds, is called for penalty) - then pretty much same outrage.
Nah, we're the most penalized team in the league. A blown call is a blown call, regardless of when in the game it happens.
Sucks to hear, but it's the truth.
Can we just marvel at this instead?
That reminds me of the Edelman SB hit except Edelman scored the go ahead TD.
I love the NFL
Cheating scum.
lol holy shit, how in the world. Also, is this really the same back judge that screwed up the fail mary call? Or just a back judge in general that screwed up.
You guys really have more penalties than Buffalo this year? I find that hard to believe.
I see it as this thread would've complained about Seattle getting a call about some unknown rule ala "Tuck Rule".

I hate to say this. Paging Mr Kraft!!
That can't be true; otherwise they'd have to replay most college games in their entirety.
