Monday Night Football: Lions V Packers 10/14/19

[Anointed One]

Sometimes you get plain unlucky with the officials. It's happened to every team. You control what you can control. If you keep kicking FG's instead of scoring TD's, then close, frustrating losses can happen.

Or you stop them on 4 downs and get called w/ bogus penalties to the face, that allow a new set of downs to a very good team and great QB...

You mean when he caught it with two hands, turned to run upfield, took a couple of steps, and purposefully tucked the ball to his side where he fumbled it off of his hip... he didn’t have control then,?

I think most fans agree the way the rule is written sucks.

Much better to go with the 10 guys in a bar. What did they see.

They weren't stopped on 4 downs. The penalty was on 3rd down.

Depending on how much they've had to drink...22 defenders in formation.

 

[The Derski]

Go by yards per game. MVS is clearly producing more than him. Go by snaps played. MVS is clearly playing more than him.

Over their career their stats are really comparable and neither are impressive.

Fake Rappaport account. That was my bad for not checking for the blue check mark.

This is a verified account, though:

It was called a catch in real time. There is NO undisputed evidence to overturn. In fact, the evidence confirms a catch

I felt sorry for the Browns on Sunday and I feel sorry for the Lions today... With instant replay, etc it's sad to see the ref's having a part in determining the outcome of games...

 

[Cedrique]

Wouldn't exactly call it getting owned all game. Despite the shitty reffing, lest not forget the sure 2 TD passes that were dropped resulting in 6 points as opposed to 14.

Not making excuses for the horseshoes up the Packers collective asses but the Lions had plenty of opportunities in the red zone and could only kick FG's.

Yeah I thought Detroit got way too conservative. Those last couple they didn't even look like they were trying real hard to get into the red zone. It was almost like they were playing for 50 yard field goals.

Which would've been 4th down...

Let's be clear. The first bad call on Flowers was the crucial change in the game. Lions up 9 and get a sack to force a punt situation, but the refs made a terrible call. Couple plays later the lead is down to 2.

That doesn't mean they stopped them on 4 downs...it never got to a 4th down.

Knee down doesn't matter if the Lions player doesn't touch him.

 

[Manster7588]

Lafleur only had one game ball for his team in his post game locker room speech. He gave the other ball away earlier in the refs locker room.

Who’s touching him? This ain’t college

 

[Anointed One]

Because of the penalty... It would've been 4th down because Rodgers threw it away... Packers would've most likely punted...

Over their career their stats are really comparable and neither are impressive.

Sure both suck but this is Allison’s 4th season and he has roughly the same number of yards as MVS has produced in a year and a half. Regardless Allison has not been one of your top 2 receivers this season. You’re a packers fan. You should know that.

I don’t think he secured the ball until after that

Quite the opposite. The evidence showed that he failed to maintain control before taking the 3rd step. The rules analyst explained this clearly. Did you have the TV on mute?

Oh that's right, you're the same imbecile that created this trainwreck of a thread:

All tackles lead with head
