haha

lol
 
I don't think they had a timeout.
Yeah, they did not have a TO.

That's a genuinely atrocious ruling. Heads will roll over that one -- given all the other controversy stirring around football (some self-inflicted, some ... circumstantial), they can't have the integrity of games in doubt.

That shit is unacceptable. Sorry, Lions-GAF. I know you're kinda used to it, but you shouldn't have to be.

What happened in Lions game?!

Lions were down 30-26, they scored a TD with 8 seconds left.
The call was reviewed and overturned; They were a few inches short

By rule, there's a 10 second runoff when a scoring play is overturned, and the game is over.

had it been ruled short on the field, they would have had time to either spike the ball, or just call a timeout.

Perhaps runoffs should just not exist.

They were out of timeouts.

The clock would start running the minute the ref sat the ball down, not when it was stopped. The Lions couldn't stop it, no matter what. They couldn't spike it since it a potential next play would be 4th down, and they couldn't call a timeout since they didn't have any.
