Game Thread: Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys Wilcard

[Scooby-Doo]

The officials find a way to make the game about them again.

And a shank. Wow.

And Dez should've been flagged. Absolute gift. What kind of BS is this?

Yea thats a joke. You cant just run on the field like that.

 

[DJ Fieri]

10 yard punt.

Pettigrew pushed off the defenders face. If they're going to call anything it should have been offsetting. Picking the flag up was absolutely gutless though.

 

[Doublejive]

Just pathetic,I can't believe i saw that.

There's increased pressure on Romo.

Look for a Romoception.

Man, the PI call was weak because there was a ton of contact both ways but show some balls when you throw a flag.

It started with defensive holding (see pulled out jersey). Then blatant PI, simply running over the WR without looking back.

TEXTBOOK PI. Detroit got hosed, plain and simple.

 

[whywork2]

fucking refs with no balls

Bobby Layne still haunting us after 57 years.

Problem is he didn't play the ball at all... He just ran into the receiver before the ball got there... Contact did go both way's a bit, but still... YOU gotta look back that's the rule...

Absolutly disgraceful they picked it up. Talk about the refs f-ing up in favour of Dallas.

Pettigrew had a fist full of facemask. The Lions got screwed by not getting the down on offsetting PI calls. replayed if anything. I just question picking up the flag after one had been thrown.

Why do they pay Mike Pereira? He's wrong almost every time. They should replace him with some hot chick in a bikini. She'd be no worse on the rules and would be a lot better to look at.

 

[WizardHawk]

Well if Detroit finds a way to win it the Dallas fans sure can't whine about the refs screwing them with these gifts.

 

[Cave_Johnson]

And the best preforming officiating crews of the regular season are officiating these games.....

Yup, ridiculous. It's bad enough they missed the call, but to call it correctly and then pick it up is a joke. Wow.

you just can't pick that flag up. That is awful.

 

[MrS]

If the defender does not turn to face the ball it is pi, textbook pi.

Nfl needs to start fining officials.

Pettigrew pushed off himself.

 

[Dolemite censored]

Flag picked up ?

Tuck rule ?

 

[SpartyNash13]

That was absolute bullshit. Worst officiating I have seen all year. Fuck the Cowgirls. And I'm not even a Lions fan.
