Coaches are not allowed to throw flags when they can't challenge the call. They talk about this a lot in the beginning of they year/preseason. Inside two minutes most coaches give their flag to somebody else to prevent this kind of shit.

Chrysler gets Eminem and Clint Eastwood

Ford gets Kid Rock

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

I agree.

It's a dumb rule. Unfortunately it is a rule.

At least it didn't lose you guys the lead.

Also, if the Texans don't win by more than a touchdown, there's gonna be an asterisk all over this one.

 

[Afrikan]

How the fuck is throwing the flag a penalty?

its like calling a timeout when you don't have any time outs left. Even though they could just say, sorry you can't call a time out...they penalize you.

just disciplinary rules really.....probably to not slow down the total game length.

 

[jmdajr]

Lions can still win, but they have lost their cool.
Understandable. But still, I dont get how coach doesnt know the rule. Shouldnt they let them know?

 

[NihonTiger90]

If this were Philly, they'd be throwing beer bottles at Schwartz by now.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Poor kid.

 

[Gannd]

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

The rule shouldn't supersede the fact that touchdowns should w reviewed.

 

[Spectral Glider]

Gotta love the NFL. Isn't this the same thing that happened to the Falcons on Sunday?

 

[ari]

The rule shouldn't supersede the fact that touchdowns should w reviewed.

[Plinko]

The rule is ludicrous.

"Hey--we review all scoring plays on our own. But, the moment you demand it? No soup for you!"

As for the Schwartz hate--HE'S AN NFL HEAD COACH. He's responsible to know ALL the rules.

15 yards is too excessive and getting the call right should supersede any rule..

 

[beast786]

Ugh

 

[Matrix]

Those fans are right to boo Jim so much

yep.


"As for the Schwartz hate--HE'S AN NFL HEAD COACH. He's responsible to know ALL the rules. "

Answer right here.

I wouldn't call him an NFL head coach, Plinko. He's more like a Pee-Wee Football coach way, way over his head.

 

[franknbeans]

Poor kid.

I'm going to hell for this, but i got dizzy looking at her

 

[Arcticfox]

That is the worst rule ever. I could see maybe taking a timeout from a team for wasting time by throwing a flag on an automatically reviewed play, but not actually reviewing the play is about the stupidest penalty I can think of.

 

[goldlion054]

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

Go fuck yourself

 

[Talon]

Lawrence Jackson being the voice of reason for Detroit? LMAO

 

[eznark]

Why did 79 have Forsett by the throat?

 

[Coldnoodle]

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH

 

[Zozz]

Detroit fans will be so sour if they lose.

This.

 

[Fantomex]

We call that a Sprewell tackle.

 

[JABEE]

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

I don't think it should stop an automatic review from happening. It should be just a 15 yard penalty.

 

[Spinluck]

Woohoo!! Go Detriot, fuck the Texans.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Texans arent going to get anymore calls.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

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

isn't that why there's a 3 challenge limit (even then only when they are all overturned) and a loss of TO for a non-reversed call? it's a stupid and unnecessary rule. fine, assess a penalty for unnecessary flags, but don't just let a shit calling of the play on the field pass by on a technicality.

 

[jmdajr]

Woohoo!! Go Detriot, fuck the Texans.

Yeah because its the Texans fault.

 

[Chris R]

15 yards is too excessive and getting the call right should supersede any rule..

15 isn't too much (isn't it the same for calling an imaginary time out?), but next time review the play (only because it was a TD, if there is another case where the play shouldn't have been reviewed then let it stand) mark the ball where the runner was down and then assess the penalty.

 

[Talon]

I don't think it should stop an automatic review from happening. It should be just a 15 yard penalty.

I think the point is that the punishment is severe as deterrence against abuse.

 

[LevelNth]

How does this offense ever work?! It's like the same 7 plays over and over.

 

[eznark]

I don't think it should stop an automatic review from happening. It should be just a 15 yard penalty.

I probably agree. That said, it's not exactly an esoteric rule and Scheartz immediately recognized what he had done.

 

[TylerD]

I'm going to hell for this, but i got dizzy looking at her

I came in here just to see if any of you noticed.

 

[Matrix]

wow he made a fg :O

 

[ari]

This.

Its the no touchdown review thats pissing people off not the flag penalty.

 

[Htown]

This post is 100 percent right.

 

[Smokey]

Go fuck yourself

Lolol get mad son

 

[jmdajr]

wow he made a fg :O

I am surprised

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Schaub looks so out of it.

Maybe he's still thinking about how all of his future children were just killed by Suh

 

[smokeymicpot]

Thats shit is backwards.

 

[Fantomex]

All Bellicheat disciples suck don't they?

 

[JCizzle]

I hope Harbaugh hires Schwartz to be an assistant when his ass gets fired for the ultimate troll move.

 

[Coldnoodle]

THUGGERY

 

[Narag]

scabs losing control of the game

 

[GaimeGuy]

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.

Well, it can get reviewed... but the review can't benefit the team that threw the flag.

 

[Htown]

THUGGERY

The fourth quarter of this game is gonna get ugly as hell.

Hold on to your butts, people.

 

[cactrotofrbc]

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Schwartz is a goddamn IDIOT for throwing the challenge flag. Even before the play was over and Forsett hit the endzone I was thinking "They are going to review this because they review all TDs". The penalty seems really severe, but still he's a fucking moron for throwing the flag.

 

[xnipx]

Shouldn't the fact that Detroit still had timeouts lefts supersede those dumb ass rule if thats what it is supposed to prevent? Abuse of challenge flags?? Charge them a timeout. Review the fucking play
