Was that the right call at the end?

[Cmac]

Regardless of the call going in our favor....officiating has suffered this year.

Cowboys won. Yaaaay.

So glad!

People like you and me know how to appreciate a gift!

What gift? The Cowboys covered the guy who was reported as eligible. They then stopped the Lions twice more, one of which was a free play. Where’s the gift?

 

[Vtwin]

Feels good to be on the right side of one of these clusterfoos for a change.

Having said that, these legacy defining moments taken away because of officiating blunders suck. Glad we won but I do feel for Campbell. Just like I felt for Romo in 2014.

 

[Risen Star]

Then how are you breathing?

Make me a sammich.

Some people saying the formation was legal

No, they went over it. The play was illegal on three levels. Uncovered receiver, didn't report, LOS not right.

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

That's why I had to laugh at Aikman's comment:

"When you go back and you watch the tape, Dan Skipper comes in but Taylor Decker also walks over to the official. And you only do that if you're telling the official you're reporting as an eligible."

Three offensive lineman approach the ref. According to Aikman's statement, the only reason for an offensive lineman to do that is to report as an eligible.

So, what is it Detroit? Were you trying to declare all three lineman eligible? Or, trying to pull a fast one? Were you paying attention when #70 was announced as an eligible receiver BEFORE you chose to line up, snap the ball, and run the play? Or maybe, you thought you gamed the system when you heard #70 announced as an eligible?

Detroit, for a team that played a physical game tonight, you lost being soft and cute. Own it.

Legal formation.

Jumbo package.

They declared before the snap.

 

[sacase]

So basically he wanted to use the refs to participate in his deception. This is some bush league stuff. I lost respect for him as it toes the line in cheating.

 

[erod]

Where is that video. Can’t find it.

Heard that on the radio post-game.

Allen screwed up the announcement, but I still don't hear them talking on TV about the illegal formation.

There are too many rules.

Most rules are completely subjective.

Tackling now requires a protractor and calculus.

Many refs are too old.

Players and coaches are constantly trying to find ways around the rules.

It's a situation.

It wasn't, they had 8 men on the line of scrimmage.

We certainly don't want players carrying shanks and brass knuckles......Careful now. Rules are needed.

Sure, but if you're smart, you won't eat it.

Like I expect you to be competent enough to make a good sandwich.

Oh it would be good. Real good.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

So basically the lions should’ve said hey you announced the wrong guy?

They played three card Monty with a ref it’s just goofy

Same penalty that should have been called on George Kittle in last year's playoff game when Diggs wiffed on the tackle.

Thanks for
Reopening that wound.

 

[Mcsports]

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

Agreed. I got home after the game
And espn Van pelt broke it down for 20
Plus minutes .
