So many obscure rules in this sport. That said Schwartz should have known the rule. Everyone knows if you call a challenge/timeout when not applicable/not available it is a 15 yard penalty. Even with the obscure aspect that it cancels out a reviewable play, he should have known not to do it for that very reason.

 

[JABEE]

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

Yeah. I think there should be an exception for automatic reviews since they would happen without any kind of coaxing.

Just a 15 yard penalty.

 

[Plinko]

stupidest rule since the Tuck fiasco.

The CJ "process" no-catch was pretty bad.

Good block Pettigrew, you fuck

 

[Matrix]

Shit Texans D.... I don't even care if it's backups or they're tired. No excuse for that crappy tackling.

 

[Dragon]

Good block Pettigrew, you fuck

Vikebike?

 

[jmdajr]

Its too bad, fans will look at Texans as cheaters, but it's not even their fault. Blame the rule, refs, and the coach.

Oh well.

 

[Htown]

There you go.

Bad call on the field, but it would've been fine if Schwartz hadn't thrown the flag.

Detroit fans are the losers in this situation.

 

[Talon]

Need that Gym Shorts gif now

 

[Kastrioti]

These fucking scumbag refs dont even have the decency to give us a makeup call.

 

[KaYotiX]

Learn to tackle

 

[Htown]

These fucking scumbag refs dont even have the decency to give us a makeup call.

Your coach is the one to be mad at.

 

[goldlion054]

This Texans defense is such fucking garbage. How they managed to win 9 games is beyond me. Is the AFC really such garbage?

 

[LevelNth]

So nice to see the Texans D exposed like this now, they were crazy overrated.

 

[Smokey]

Everybody calm he fuck down the Lions are still going to win the game

This Texans defense is such fucking garbage. How they managed to win 9 games is beyond me. Is the AFC really such garbage?

Yes

 

[whytemyke]

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

The issue isn't so much that the rule is dumb but that Schwartz absolutely should have known better than to throw that flag.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

frauds

 

[NawidA]

So many dumb rules.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Everybody ca the fuck down the Lions are still going to win the game it will even out

No, no they won't, Smokey. There's a TAINT incoming, at the very least. Fatford is good for one of those in the 4th quarter, especially if the game is close.

 

[Dragon]

Yes

Look at who the Texans have played. The Patriots are going to style all over this team, even without Gronk.

Everybody calm he fuck down the Lions are still going to win the game

Wait what? "It's okay that there was a horrible call because I think the Lions are gonna win." WTF is wrong with you?

 

[Fantomex]

So many dumb rules.

Lol a raider fan complaining bout rules. I like you

 

[beast786]

Yes

yet bears still manage only 7 points.

What was cutler rating in first half?

 

[jmdajr]

Lol haters

 

[Matrix]

I <3 the shit talking on the Texans. I think I like it now.

 

[KingKong]

Check their schedule, their only good win is the Ravens

Exactly...got colts to troll them also.

Best club ever.

That's the most effort Cunningham has ever put into anything.

 

[LevelNth]

Weird, cheap head shot by the Texans on that slide.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

no flag?

 

[Trey]

Yeah. I think there should be an exception for automatic reviews since they would happen without any kind of coaxing.

Just a 15 yard penalty.

Or, the coach could not be stupid. That's far easier than changing a rule to get coaches out of their own way.

It's unsportsmanlike conduct. Just like a coach shouldn't be stupid enough to call two TOs, a coach shouldn't be stupid enough to challenge auto-reviewable plays.

It's hilariously simple, and the resulting outrage is as simple. Schwartz knows it's all on him. The exact same thing just happened last week. Every coach should have known the particulars of the rule since auto-reviews went in last year.

 

[jakncoke]

haha nice

 

[Plinko]

Weird, cheap head shot by the Texans on that slide.

True. Dirty, dirty team

 

[Buckethead]

Frauds.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Bell wasn't touched haha

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Lions don't give a fuck about the refs

 

[Narag]

Exactly...got colts to troll them also.

Colts would split with them at best. Won't matter if starters are being rested at the end either.

 

[Coldnoodle]

JUSTICE

 

[goldlion054]

Throw the flag Jim! He was probably down at some point!!

 

[Brinbe]

Good

 

[JABEE]

Lambeau leap should be a penalty.

 

[KaYotiX]

So nice to see the Texans D exposed like this now, they were crazy overrated.

Agree, been saying it for a few weeks

 

[jmdajr]

If the Texans are frauds, what does that make the Lions?

Give Lions some credit.

 

[ari]

yet bears still manage only 7 points.

What was cutler rating in first half?

So? You only scored 7 against us. What's your point?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Broncos/Pats AFCCG fucking CONFIRMED. Texans and Ravens are pretenders.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Finish this game.... beat these bitch ass Texans
