Last nights game deciding face mask...good or bad call?

[scoutyjones2]

Just illustrating what happened with a "graphic" most can see in simple words. The chin-strap is of minor consequence and was a result of the play. It all happened in seconds, which was very exciting. Lions are playing well and loss like this is like a seal of coaching incompetence. You guys had the game, left GB without TOs. I feel for you, Dad of a longtime friend is hard Lions fan.

How do you know that?!

What if the Lions were called on pass interference to prevent the TD? Then they line up for a FG with no time on the clock? A weird ending that the Lions are likely to be tagged with a loss.

Jesus mostly, probably others as well

Ok I'm almost done whining about this, but I wish people would stop with this one. Watch the replay and you'll see, as Rodgers is on his way to the ground after any contact from the defender to his head, his helmet is still straight on his head and his chinstrap is still in place. The helmet was turned and the chin strap came loose when his head hit the ground.

Did I tell you I made the playoffs?
Oh well....

This was a bad call with the game on the line but simply the wrong call without the importance of its impact on the games final results. The ref wasn't obviously wrong at all until the slo-mo was seen but still its understandable why he called it.

Two officials threw a flag on that play.

Do you really need to do this crap in this forum too ? I already posted that I understand completely why the ref threw the flag, that I don't blame them and that the Lions played terrible D on the final 2 plays. I just pointed out that Rodgers' helmet being askew and his chin strap being under his nose happened when his head hit the ground and had nothing to do with the alleged face mask.

Who cares as the Lions weren't going to the playoffs anyway. Just get over it Waz.

I've been a Lions fan for 25 years and have watched nearly all of their games for > 40 years. I have no illusions about their prospects, this year or any year. Fortunately I grew up in a DC burb, so I have the enjoyment of experiencing those Skins SB wins in the memory bank.

No Officials threw a flag on the No Face Mask, but the Packers get a fumble out of it instead.

LOL, hard core Lions fan. Sounds worse

Referee insists Devin Taylor committed penalty in Hail Mary game

One Detroit Lions reporter attempted to give Lions fans some closure on Friday. The official who made that call, Carl Cheffers, was at the Lions’ camp to help officiate, and beat reporters asked if he still believed in his call.

Carl Cheffers, who threw the flag on Devin Taylor in Hail Mary game last year, said it was an illegal tackle, horsecollar/facemask or both
