Defense please

 

[TheLegendary]

Looks down to me.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

thats not a fumble.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

That's not a fumble.

Agreed

 

[Draconian]

These refs are awful.

 

[hughesta]

I hate green bay but not a fumble imo

 

[MetatronM]

That's clearly not a fumble.

 

[Nialrot]

Hell of a tackle by Rodgers

 

[Doorman]

It's hard to say if the Lions would have had the time to get everyone lined up again and snap the ball in just 8 seconds...but stranger things have happened, and for fuck's sake at least they would have had the chance to try and pull it off.

The Lions lost a potential final play because the referees botched the on-field call, and they got punished for it. I understand the ten second runoff rule being in place for overturning challenges or injury timeouts and whatnot, but the Lions didn't actually do anything wrong in that instance and couldn't have done anything else differently, since the on-field ruling was a TD. The refs deleted time off of the game of their own volition and that's kind of fucked.

 

[Miracle]

Guy looked down before the fumble.

 

[Bsigg12]

He was down. First and goal from the 1 for GB. At least it should be.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Ground forced the fumble

If we were the Lions this is Cincy ball

 

[Euron]

now the giants are gonna get a prime first round qb while the jets are stuck in todd bowles hell

fuck

Darnold here we come

Have fun at 7-9 Jets

Week 3 overreactions ftw

 

[Dead Guy]

Doesn't look like a fumble to me

 

[mr.beers]

Great tackle by Godgers!

 

[Sparkedglory]

Not a fumble, and man did that look nasty in slow motion.

 

[djplaeskool]

Looks down by contact, could go either way.

 

[Tamanon]

That really shouldn't be a fumble.

 

[hughesta]

right call

 

[Dead Guy]

Whew. Escaped one there

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Good call

 

[boxter432]

they should be able to overturn incorrect PI calls too. Ref staring right at jones and the receiver ruled incomplete.

 

[squicken]

Chiefs offense seems unstoppable at times

 

[Elfforkusu]

Great tackle by Godgers!

Better than most of the defense can do

 

[Duxxy3]

How many sacks and fumbles?

I believe 5 sacks and the 1 fumble.

 

[perfectchaos007]

McDonald's isn't giving Texans fans McNuggets for moral victories this year. Dang it

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

God call but that PI was bullshit

I saw the replay. It appears his knee was not down. Maybe just the angle, but how could the refs overturn that when it wasn't conclusive...

 

[djplaeskool]

Also helps that Chargers run defense is buttcheeks

 

[zero_suit]

Chiefs look damn good.

 

[Instro]

KC is dirty with those little shovel passes this season.

 

[Elfforkusu]

I'm not sure Oak and KC aren't the class of the league...

 

[Sparkedglory]

That was a nice fakeout by Rodgers.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

What a play by the Packers there.

 

[Plinko]

There is no chance they get a play off that fast. It takes too long to get the ball reset.

Teams had done this numerous times near the goalline last season.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

That was a little worrying for a second lol

If they don't run off the clock then they get another play off which means the Falcons would be punished by the refs getting the call wrong on the field.

 

[xenoncrash]

Chiefs unstoppable!

 

[Chase17]

Long live the shovel pass

 

[Doominated]

Rodgers the goat

Whaaaaat? It's not a penalty on the Lions. It's an attempt to make the clock as accurate to the situation as possible.

 

[Quikies83]

lol scored on that damn play each game this year..
ran it like 4 times against the pats.
hilarious they keep calling it and mixing it up.

 

[scitek]

So the rule that decided that Falcons-Lions game...

I assume it's there because the stoppage gives you time to choose a play properly, as opposed to having to scramble while the clock is running and actually get one off. It seems like a shitty rule, but them getting an unofficial timeout wouldn't seem fair, either.

 

[Chirotera]

As a Lions fan, fuck that ending. So sick of the league taking games from us. This is like Johnson's completing the process bull all over again. Lions won today, but the league can't have that.

 

[this_guy]

McDonald's isn't giving Texans fans McNuggets for moral victories this year. Dang it

They give free McNuggets for 100 rushing yards. Yaay!

No discount at Palais Royale though with the loss.

 

[ZootedGranny]

Too much presnap action and speed for defenses so far against that play. The redzone success the Chiefs have had this season versus last feels worlds apart.

League took the game by enforcing the rules?

To make matters worse for the #lions. The food is on fire at Ford Field by the locker room.

Oh shit lol

 

[neoemonk]

I would so much rather have the Lions lose because they couldn't get set in time than to have a ref come out and say they made the wrong call so the game is over. It's just a shitty way to lose a football game, and I don't know how anyone could think it's ok.
