NFL Blames Lions Not Refs

[lopey]

This gamesmanship will come back to bite the lions in the *** again. Refs dont line to be made fools of. ALLEN will get them back at some point

“You’re not going to believe this, but the NFL is blaming the Lions for a blown call that cost them a win vs. the Cowboys on Saturday night.

According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, the NFL has no plans to change the rules on players reporting as eligible after Saturday night’s fiasco in Dallas. And it’s not placing blame on the refs.

“Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the NFL does not plan to change the procedure for players reporting as eligible. The league views the situation as an effort by the Lions to engage in deception and gamesmanship that backfired,” Florio said.

“Basically, the Lions wanted the Cowboys to think Skipper was reporting as eligible and that Decker was not. Which would have caused the Cowboys to cover Skipper, not Decker, when the play unfolded. The problem is that, in trying to confuse the Cowboys, the Lions confused Allen.”

Maybe it's about the optics. The NFL is always hyperaware of their image and the perception of the public. Maybe the ref was wrong, maybe he wasn't, but it's still their job to make sure everyone is clear even if one side is intentionally trying to deceive the other. Throw in the badly called tripping penalty, it wasn't a good job.

It was another horrible day at the office for these game officials....................
