News: LBS: Jared Goff makes big admission about Cowboys game

[TheSport78]

I'm taking Goff over Dak 10/10 times.

I just do not understand what the Lions are complaining about ....... the ref has to announce who is eligible ...... they cannot keep stuff from the Cowboys to help the Lions.

Its ridiculous.

And dumb fans from both sides cannot seem to understand that.

It was quite clear what they were trying to do. They had 58 and 68 go to the ref and one of them would report. Of course they know it has to be announced but 68 sounds like 58. On top of that, they had 70 run in who usually reports but didn't this time. From their original alignment and then their shift, I think all 3 of them were in eligible pass catching positions at one time or another. They thought they could catch the Cowboys napping since we have a history of gaffes in big moments. To boot, they said they cleared this with the refs before the game.

After all this, the NFL released a video on the rule and if you believe what the Lions say, the NFL didn't follow their own rules on reporting. The head ref avoided a question about 58 and 68 approaching him and what was said. Then this ref and crew were "disinvited" to the playoffs rotation afterwards. Those spoke volumes to me. Still, if anyone on the sidelines heard the wrong number announced, they should have pulled the plug but the refs DID mess that whole thing up and we never know if the Cowboys would have fallen for the okie doke.

 

[Proof]

Never seen a Lions player talk about the tripping call that got themselves there in the first place.

Such an unlikeable team.

or the fact that their meathead coach insisted on going for 2 three straight times. one of the sillier narratives in recent times. but it’s the lions, and after all they’ve been through i can eat it lol

It was disgusting, and it got Brady hurt, which lost them the 07 super bowl. Teams starting T-ing off on Brady due to this horrific sportsmanship and they injured him during the season. And then, in a completely meaningless last game, Brady reinjured himself. Which caused an already barely mobile QB to become even more of a statue.

They really went after him in 08, then, and knocked him out for the season.

What really hurt was me having to root for the Gnats in the 07 super bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah if people don’t remember this they must’ve forgot but Bill and the Pats arrogance was real bad. More times than not it comes back to bite you in the ***.

whoa. so you can be critical of or in disagreement with the refs, but only against us. interesting

 

[SultanOfSix]

Shrug. It wasn’t the Cowboys’ fault what the refs did.

 

[EST_1986]

Fake fans need to leave any Cowboys forums and go follow the Lions.

They’d be closer to a winning program at least

Lol. Its ok to criticize a crap product. Doesn’t make us less of a fan. And who are you to decide who should be a fan? Get over yourself

 

[MarcusRock]

I only state the truth. There's plenty of whining around to support the "right opinions" but I don't do that. Have at it though.

 

[Bagman]

The Lions were cheated last year because the old fart ref got confused. The beat down the Cowboys got this year was well deserved and meant to make a statement that the Lions are the better team. It's sickening how these Cowboy fans talk SB every year and how they compare Dak to Mahomes. Jerry Jones is doing a helluva job marketing this garbage.

Cowboys were cheated. None of that "controversy" occurs if the refs don't call a phantom reverse tripping penalty on Dallas. Hutchinson trips our guy and they call it on Dallas. That set the stage for their comeback attempt. Watch the game again, if you can. People are in denial about what TRULY happened.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Hey morons in Detroit. You made it farther than us last year. You won out of the whole deal! Give it a rest.

 

[BrassCowboy]

Frankly my dear, i don't give a damn

A simple like button doesn’t do your post justice! Exactly the sentiments of many of us here

the Lions could have called a timeout AFTER hearing the ref declare who was eligible...this makes no sense why would they think after they reported who is eligible to the defense they would allow another player to be the eligible player..thats just dumb....

 

[KingCorcoran]

and niether have THEY.. Are we really comparing history here so we're in a little bit of a down cycle for the Dallas Cowboys and you want to compare them to the Detroit Lions finally over the last two seasons having any resemblance of a team that can compete for a Super Bowl they've only been to two NFC championship games in their entire existence and have not won a single one and they've never won a Super Bowl so where's that 28 years narrative where's their historically bad never been good narrative literally the Dallas Cowboys are waiting on number six and we're in a down cycle and they're waiting on #1 and you want to make a comparison that you love the lions and you're happy they beat us I mean did I come to the wrong site is this a lions forum I mean did I miss something they have done nothing, nothing to make them close, Too what we've had historically and you may not have liked the last three years but 36 wins two division titles and go into playoffs 5 in the last eight years since we are on the lions level and yeah they're finally maybe pulling away but that's it you come up with you're using this team historically, a bad historically bad team as some kind of comparison to Jerry Jones three titles you do realize that Jerry's three titles since 1989 there's only two other teams that have three or more titles since 1989 and that would be the chiefs and New England you want to use the chiefs as some kind of measuring stick, I can live with that but the lions dude get outta here, absolutely get outta here with that nonsense, it's nonsensical to even bring the lions into this comp....

We will find out over the next five years what the lions really are or really aren't, maybe they're going to be the Cincinnati Bengals who finally look like they were on the uptick and I remember people like you saying how great an organization is that to just rebuild that quick really they never won a Super Bowl.... it took them 31 years just between Super Bowl losses and people were saying how their organization you would love to have Joe Burrows and the way they were building that team and guess what happened it dropped off a Cliff what exactly have the Bengals done and now the lions are the new Bengals oh the sweetheart talked and they haven't even been to a Super Bowl yet and yet when you let time pass you'll find out who's real and who's not and right now the lions might be on an upswing but they have done nothing to even be spoke about in the same terms as the Dallas Cowboys historically and that includes Jerry Jones who was the Dallas cowboy owner has three titles compared to the other regime who only had two titles but we are waiting on number six let me remind you how special that really is because some of y'all need a reminder....​

Depends on what fans want to talk about. If it’s reminiscing about the past the Cowboys have more success to talk about. Most fans on forums today choose to talk about the NFL today. The Detroit Lions are a story in the contemporary NFL.

This used to be Bulletin Board Material. Now...it's just...Thursday.

One beatdown doesn’t make up for decades of mediocrity and suckitude Detroit lol… they dunked on us when we are basically handicapped and in a wheelchair because we are run by an egomaniac owner, a lame duck coach, an under-achieving and overpaid QB, and an injured and weak roster.

I will enjoy watching them lose steam and choke in the playoffs. What goes around comes around. They will once again finish the year in tears as they have done for decades

[Kevinicus]

They didn't though unless you think multiple people went over to talk to the refs and none of them bothered to mention the thing that multiple sources have said that they said, and would be the only reason to go over to the refs.

"The only reason to go over to the refs" argument doesn't fly as multiple people went to the refs. So, if that's the only reason, then it wouldn't have been just Decker reporting. And if it wasn't just Decker, it'd still be a penalty.

 

[diamonddelts]

Jerrah keeps letting the good coaches go - Payton, Campbell. Keeps dunces like Garrett.
Truly a horrific GM

100%

 

[Momanpr100]

They blew they load with us. To think we on they minds when they went further in the playoffs lol.
