TNF: Green Bay vs Detroit

[cajuncocoa]

For some reason, I'm angered by the sequence of events. I don't know why.

Because you know Tony Romo wouldn't have gotten that call if they'd ripped his head off? Is that why?

On the Hail Mary, the packers outnumbered the lions players in the end zone.

I knew it was a TD because I saw no Lions players at all

A few years ago that would've been a 5 yard facemask, no?

Can't be bad reffing. Goodell said himself today the refs have done an extraordinary job this season.

That's they are doing everything that they ordered to do by the league office

Lol I couldn't believe he said that today.

 

[AzCowboysFan]

Yeah, looking at it again, that should've been incidental contact. But i'm sure it looked different from behind.

I'm convinced after tonight the refs work for the mafia

You're just now figuring that out? Blandino is a spawn of the mafia. How else does he land his current job with no prior field officiating experience?

The NFL is entertainment and they have every right to shape the outcome to their liking.

Were you entertained?

He's with Jerry. They've been drinking...

I may stop watching the nfl after what happened to the lions

Did you feel the same the way when the lions got screwed vs dallas last year?

Nothing happened to them except they screwed themselves. Look at pic. They kept two guys in sideline to protect against FG throw with zero left and Calvin Johnson was not in game in prevent. Stop with the ref talk.

I missed the ending. After Detroits last first down on 3rd and 12 I turned it off and went to bed. I figured they would never get the ball back. I was surprised when I got up this morning and saw they won it. I am sick I missed it.

As far as the facemask, I think anyone watching the play on TV thought it was a facemask. Even the defensive players body language says he though he did it. Only after review was it found to be in error. Cant blame the official for reacting with the flag. The way Rodgers head turner I can see why the ref threw the flag. Only way to fix that is a replay. But if he would have not thrown the flag and replays showed the players hand was in the facemask it would have been just as big of an uproar.

Still, thankful for the win. I dont think that will change anything going forward for the Packers. Not sure what is going on with them. Aaron covers for a lot of the teams inadequacies but his play the past few weeks has not been good. He looks better than average but not great. Packer fans are spoiled with his greatness.

Cowboy fans should not take for granted the Packers will win. I would have never thought the Packers would lose to Chicago and Jay Cutler at Lambeau but they did. Cowboys have as good a chance for a win as Detroit did at Lambeau.

But were you entertained? And did you make money on Fan Duel?

The NFL has too much money on the line and can't afford to NOT shape outcomes.

 

[Aven8]

Was an amazing play!!!

I love pro football!

 

[tyke1doe]

That's not the rule. And he didn't hook. He grazed it (with some force). Easy to see how it could look like a facemask at full speed, but it was not.

Well, I disagree and so do the refs.

 

[Kevinicus]

Well, I disagree and so do the refs.

Do they? Did they come out and say it was a facemask or are you just making that up?

Why the first pick with the guy's thumb touching nothing but air?

 

[Wayne02]

The way I saw it:
It was offensive pass interference first play. DB had his head turned to play the ball, receiver slowed down and then used both hands to pull the db down. Others will disagree with me on this, but that's how I saw it.
Next play, looked like a facemask live, replay showed it wasn't. Shouldn't have been called, but I can kind of understand.
Last play, OL got away with a big hold and minor block in the back, neither called. Still, terrible hail mary D by the Lions.

Lions got screwed imo.

The Lions also got away with a blatant defensive pass interference on the play before the face mask call that would've put GB in field goal position. The Lions didn't get screwed, they lost.

So you really think that Rodgers, just for fun while trying to win a game, whipped his head sideways because of air? Now you are just making stuff up. The guy hit the mask. You can call it what you want but in today's NFL in real time that is getting called face mask or hands to the QBs helmet if it was him in the pocket. It happens EVERY game. If you don't know that then your living in a shell. But what should I expect, you think DBs turning their head give them the right to tackle people
