NFL fixes game so Falcons can win

Rooting for tornadoes in Atlanta. Cut the stadium in two!

Golden Tate's would-be go-ahead touchdown is called back, ending Falcons-Lions in bizarre fashion

34 is touching Tate as hes going to the ground after catching the ball. Call is correct.

I think anyone with a brain can see the correct call was made.

Seriously, LOL @ Lions fans here. He was down and touched before breaking the plane. Correct call was made, get over it.

Yall are acting like this is in the same realm as the 5th down game between Missouri and Colorado in 1990(A game that would ultimately get Colorado a split national championship).

 

[broncosmitty]

He must be in on the fix right Lions fans?

He's just gutless.


Half a man, if he's lucky.

Prolly was born without balls, for real.

He couldn't inspire me to take a nap.

No they didnt. His knee is definitely not down there and there is a shdow under his lower leg so that is not touching the ground either.

It would have to be 100 conclusive to reverse and it was not.

He looked down about 6 inches in short of the goal line to me.

Read my response to that before making ridiculous claims

Nobody cares about Colorado football outside of the Promise Keepers.

Even a probably is not enough to overturn the call on the field though.

Game cant end on defensive Penalty... but can end on referee error.

 

[SteelersPride]

ok I Laughed there

 

[Wazmankg]

Lions fans are stupid. It wasn't a TD. You're 2-1. Stop crying. You could be 0-3 like the giants

No they couldn't, because fortunately they got to play the Giants. Unfortunately, they only get to play them once.

 

[redseat]

SO you are agreeing the NFL is out to screw the lions?

Appears they did screw them in this instance...

By other angles yes theres plenty to overturn it.

Shadows dont make mistakes. People do.

No probably needed. Photos posted throughout the thread show the leg down after contact short of the goal line.

 

[eaglesnut]

Explain?

They called the TD.

Reviews are for bitch ass pussy faggots. In my excellent opinion.

For the 100th time. There is a shadow under his leg. Unless Physics have changed his leg can not be down.

Can everyone please stop with the still frame nonsense. Still frames are not good indicators as the angle can make it look one way or another. Slow motion is the only thing that will give an honest result.

Jim Caldwell says the refs got the call right.

Caldwell is in on it too!!! Holy shit this conspiracy runs deep!!!

Overturning it isnt the issue to me its the referee error, And they ran out The clock because the team isnt allowed to try and get off a fourth down. If they fail doing so they fail doing so. To take it away because the refs decided it couldnt be done... thats bullshit.

just saw an angle.... A helmet was in the way but for that split second it appeared his knee possibly did hit the ground.. However it wasn't that obvious and I don't think it was "conclusive" enough to make them overturn it
