JIM SCHWARTZ LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

[Dragon]

I still don't understand how asking for a review meant they couldn't review a play they were going to review. I mean, what?

There's nothing to understand because it makes no fucking sense.

Let's recap. The officials miss an obvious fucking call.

Jim Schwartz is a total tool.

Detroit sucks.

 

[jmdajr]

So how did the Coach not know the rule?

 

[MarauderShields]

No one in the world knew that rule. Lol at the jim hate.

He knew not to throw the flag though so hes still dumb

 

[NihonTiger90]

Anyone else want to argue with me about how Schwartz needs to be fired?

He should have been fired right then and there.

 

[RurouniZel]

That is the most backwards retarded review rule I've ever heard of.

 

[Smokey]

Guy was tackled and obviously down, but got up and started running again after the play. Touchdown. 15 yd penalty against Detroit for asking for a review.

Oh shit Lmao I got in the car and texans radio were saying it was a blown call and they couldn't believe it. Bad call etc etc

 

[GaimeGuy]

It was an illegal challenge flag, and when you throw an illegal challenge flag, you can not benefit from a review of the play.

And it's an illegal challenge flag because touchdowns are automatically reviewed.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

No one in the world knew that rule. Lol at the jim hate.

Seriously. I didn't know of that shit.

 

[Matrix]

WATT SWAT

 

[Htown]

Damn.

I don't like that.

Detroit fans got fucked twice on that play: once by the bad call on the field, and once by Schwartz throwing the flag and preventing the play from being reviewed.

That's gonna suck for Lions fans if you lose. Damn.

 

[yankeeforever2]

Worst rule ever

 

[Levyne]

Yeah that's a dumb rule.

 

[Nevasleep]

I missed it what happened

Longest run in franchise history lol.

 

[friskykillface]

Yeah lions gonna lose now


smh NFL

 

[LevelNth]

Play should've just been reviewed anyways and then assess the penalty yards. Ridiculous.

 

[Talon]

Lmao.

That's on Scwartz after Mike Smith's mistake last week. Situational awareness.

 

[Narag]

:jnc at watt not being intimidated

 

[whytemyke]

Well, 4-7 Lions now. Awesome. Thanks Schwartz.

 

[Karl2177]

The crowd is still booing. Hilarious.

 

[eznark]

No one in the world knew that rule. Lol at the jim hate.

If you watched football last week you knew the rule. I can understand why you would block that out though.

 

[zeeaykay]

They don't penalize you for throwing the review flag on other plays you can't review. Why penalize you for throwing a flag on a play that IS reviewable?

It does not delay the game AT ALL to just tell the coach "hey you can pick that flag up, it's being reviewed anyways."

 

[Seregil]

No excuse for not knowing this rule as same thing happened last during the Atlanta / Arizona game on Sunday on a turnover.

 

[Manus]

No one in the world knew that rule. Lol at the jim hate.

Yeah I know. I've never heard of this rule ever.

 

[Buckethead]

Texans = AFC Falcons

 

[exarkun]

I knew that rule, I thought it was common knowledge.

Lets go Texans!

Kick a field goal!

 

[CrunchyFrog]

It was an illegal challenge flag, and when you throw an illegal challenge flag, you can not benefit from a review of the play.

And it's an illegal challenge flag because touchdowns are automatically reviewed.

stupidest rule since the Tuck fiasco.

 

[NihonTiger90]

BOO THEM




BOO THEM ALL

 

[TheFatOne]

I blame the refs how the fuck did they miss that play. Knee down elbow down

 

[ari]

He knew not to throw the flag though so hes still dumb

After the refs told him.

Like 1.1 percent of the population knew that rule and they are all refs. Bullshit rule, why is it even there?

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

What a dumb ass rule......

In the heat of the moment I don't blame him for throwing the challenge flag.....

 

[Alligatorjandro]

fuck ass rule

 

[ErasureAcer]

There should have been a PI call the play before. They missed BOTH calls IMO.

Back judge even reached for his flag but said "fuck it".

 

[MechDX]

How about some damn flags!! Watt just got cheap shotted!!

 

[Kastrioti]

All the refs on this staff should be fires tommorow.

And fuck Schwartz for rhrowing the challenge flag to begin with.

That call killed my appetite, no joke.

 

[Newton Crosby]

The crowd is still booing. Hilarious.

They should have started a "BULLSHIT!" chant.

 

[Cobra84]

No one in the world knew that rule. Lol at the jim hate.

I did and I've seen it called before. Gym Shorts is just a fucking moron.

 

[Kintaro]

What a complete load of horseshit. Every bit of that play. Not calling him down when it was clearly down, that stupid shitty flag rule which is garbage and not reviewing the play because of it. Backwards as shit all around.

I don't even like either team but man...

 

[Cloudy]

Why not get the play right and THEN assess the penalty? Also, the penalty should be 5yds not 15. What a dumb rule...

 

[Heysoos]

Hasn't this happened before already? I swear I've seen a similar call this season.

Once the coach challenges a play that was going to be reviewed already, the play no longer gets reviewed and the team that threw the flag gets penalized.

 

[kingocfs]

The rule needs to allow them to review it as well as penalize dumbass coaches who don't know the rules.

 

[greatestjediever]

They don't penalize you for throwing the review flag on other plays you can't review. Why penalize you for throwing a flag on a play that IS reviewable?

It does not delay the game AT ALL to just tell the coach "hey you can pick that flag up, it's being reviewed anyways."

This. Coaches used to throw challenge flags just to get refs attention and then pick them back up.

 

[cajunator]

How did Houston get that TD? There are close calls and then there is indisputable evidence a player was down...

 

[JABEE]

No one in the world knew that rule. Lol at the jim hate.

We knew it would cost 15 yards. Bill Belichick doesn't get called for it though.

 

[MechDX]

Lions deserve that BS TD by Houston for the cheap shots they keep taking.

 

[MarauderShields]

After the refs told him.

Like 1.1 percent of the population knew that rule and they are all refs. Bullshit rule, why is it even there?

Nobody knew they couldnt challenge after the penalty. Every single coach should know you cant challenge a play thats automatically challenged.

 

[eznark]

stupidest rule since the Tuck fiasco.

It's a good rule. If you don't penalize coaches for throwing the challenge flag coaches suddenly have unlimited time outs.

 

[Levyne]

Those fans are right to boo Jim so much

 

[Talon]

Why not get the play right and THEN access the penalty? Also, that should be 5yds not 15. What a dumb rule...

The point is so coaches don't get the benefit of essentially an extra timeout if the officials just pick up the flag and give it back to you.

Clearly wasn't thought out for situations where the ruling is obvious.
