Was that the right call at the end?

[Risen Star]

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.

Well, Lamb also gifted them a safety on a would be touchdown.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

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.

So the lions reported 7o by mistake?

Decker was ineligible anyway even if he reported. The receiver covered him.

 

[Fletch]

They were morons. 68 covered up 70 on the LOS. Thus, ineligible. Is what it is. But hey, let’s continue to go for 2 because he’s the gutsiest coach to ever roam the sidelines. Embodiment of tough!

 

[Miller]

After watching all stations Lions got screwed and the ref freaks can be confused..:and now Pros here are making cover excuses

 

[Creeper]

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.

68 wasn't covered.

I’m hearing the league is about to overturn this game it’s in the works

 

[Risen Star]

Schefter seems pissed.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

Being the most penalized team in the league, having it done to us in Philly, the Dez catch, I don't feel an ounce of bad for anyone!

 

[Staubacher]

McCarthy was on it.

He heard Decker called and thought someone ordered a double cheeseburger

 

[Miller]

listen we got lucky! Stop the bs

 

[Jayinem]

Dan Campbell is like a kid playing Madden. Going for it on 4th all the time, and of course he was going for 2 down 1 and not only that tried to outsmart us but instead outsmarted his own team.

Were we fortunate? Yes, but so were other teams many times when we screwed up at the end. A win is a win.

 

[JayFord]

you have to report as eligible and then the ref has to make that announcement so the other team knows as well

 

[JayFord]

I’m hearing the league is about to overturn this game it’s in the works

they need to overturn the saints rams playoff game before this one lol

 

[Risen Star]

We have to get off the snide against Washington. We can't go into the playoffs losing 4 in a row.

 

[CTcowboy203]

The refs blew it. Who cares, it happens. This time we were on the right end but it will even out and we will be on the wrong end soon enough- it’s just the law of averages.

 

[Risen Star]

 

[Wildcat711]

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

Thank you.. I was wondering.. but I'm glad you let us know.

Is this true?

I’m hoping someone from the NFL says this in an official statement or tweet or something. If Decker did report as they said would the play have been legal? I’m hoping the NFL clarifies. Or not, we won and we’ve been jobbed by the refs at times so I’m not too upset. I’ll take it.
