Was that the right call at the end?

[endersdragon]

Lions fans have to be livid.

They seem to be but it was their own stupidity.

 

[NFCBeasts]

They tried to pull a fast one to fool the Cowboys and ended up fooling the officials.

If only they knew it doesn’t take much to fool us… especially on special teams

 

[Silverz1972]

58 is there too. 70 didn’t even talk to the refs. I think 58 and skipper told the head official that 70 was elligible.

 

[KMY_Amber]

Moot point in the end, because the WR covered Decker. WR needed to be in a Flanker position. So it's an illegal formation, also an illegal touch. Decker was never eligible simply based on the formation.

 

[endersdragon]

When you send 3 players at the ref for no reason things will end up messed up.

 

[Brooksey]

There's only one team dumber than us..Detroit.

 

[snadler]

Refs made a mistake

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

And the media could shut all of this down by saying exactly your succinct statement…..but they won’t.

Now the ref in the booth of Troy said it was 3 penalties all in one play.

So you gotta cover the eligible wr?

 

[Risen Star]

Why both ol go to ref them. Butch play. Illegal formation anyway.

Skipper went to the officials like he was reporting but Decker was behind him and was the one who actually reported. The ref didn't catch that. He thought Skipper reported.

They did this to fool the Cowboys.

Chalk this up as another gifted win for this team.

 

[Silverz1972]

I meant 58 and taylor talked to refs and 70 didn’t

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Refs made a mistake

How so

 

[Hawkeye19]

The Lions lost in very Cowboys-esque fashion… snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

On the very night Jimmy is enshrined into the ROH?! Really?! Curse broken?!?

Cowboys! Lol

 

[Risen Star]

Announcement: I will not acknowledge this win and will reference the team as 10-6 going forward.

 

[Jason 82 Witten]

I have seen a lot of bad calls, but I’ve never seen the media be so outraged over something

 

[Creeper]

So you gotta cover him right

No, if 68 is eligible then he cannot be covered if he is on the LOS. However, if #70 also reported then they may have only had 4 ineligible linemen on the LOS which would be a penalty.

Something the talking heads keep talking about is ho the Lions didn't make it obvious who was reporting because they didn't want to alert the Cowboys defense. But the point of reporting to the refs is so they can alert the Cowboys that players wearing jerseys with ineligible player numbers are indeed eligible.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Where’s our conspiracy crew?

Boys swallowed their tongues apparently.

Or is all this just part of the plan?

 

[rambo2]

Lions fans have to be livid.

57 years

 

[Risen Star]

If only they knew it doesn’t take much to fool us… especially on special teams

McCarthy was on it.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Did the ref ever announce that Decker reported? I dont remember hearing it

 

[RS12]

Campbell also go nothing out of a deep red zone trip in the 1st half. The Lions losing is totally on him. They should have won this game.
