Game Thread: Saturday specials week 15

WTF? Not sure why Payton didn't challenge either of those runs that looked like touchdowns. Also, don't understand the offensive offsides penalty. Crazy shit.

Yeah challenge flag should been thrown on both those goal line runs and the penalty looks like total BS.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

That'll do, pigs

Touchdown Jahmyr Gibbs, that should wrap it up for the Lions, terrific offensive performance by the Lions.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

That should do it. Too bad those calls when the Broncos had the ball on goal line sort of leaves a bad taste.

 

[Duffman]

That's the first time I've ever seen anybody light up Russ. Not sure what it was about, but Peyton was letting him have it.

I think it had to do with Payton wanted Russ to stall so he could get word from upstairs on whether or not to challenge and Russ didn’t.

Meh
35 -14 wont be any different than 35-10

The really sad part is if he calls either of them a TD they review it anyway.

The Lions have been getting boned by the refs without getting a reach around after for years...so I guess ... whatever the Broncos can't handle the Lions O in any way shape or form in this game

Would of been cleaner with reviews of those plays.

Maybe he checked out of a play? He was pissed. No challenges there was odd too.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Get chippy!!

 

[Wazmankg]

Payton should just tell them to let the clock run.

Raymond fooling the punt coverage earlier lead to that one.

I think he just didnt see the wave.
Bet they talk after the game.

To me it was typical SP.

Making sure everyone sees him putting the blame on someone else.

I liked how Russ didn’t even look at him while he was screaming.

Right.

He was looking for the ball, since earlier Raymond called for fair catch, then pretended to grab a ball that hit 15 yards away and ended up being a touchback.

On the replay, when the returner waved the gunner was looking up for the ball, so he didn't see the fair catch signal.

If you read Paytons lips he said "you snapped the fucking ball." Pretty sure he's saying Wilson has to make sure everyone is lined up right before he snaps it, but maybe he was saying they were waiting for upstairs to tell them if they should challenge or something?

And pretty sure they didn't challenge either of those 2 plays because they were already down 1 timeout. For the record I thought both were TD's live, but not sure there was anything clear and conclusive on replay. That's a tough one to challenge.

The offsides was clear though. Guards head was over the ball, they're usually well behind, but was trying to gain as much as he could on a play like that.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

When Wilson was walking back after the TD. Is Payton & Wilson still chatting at each other?

Don’t really understand how Denver was forced to waste that first timeout.

Denver subbed, so the Lions got to sub. But Detroit just walked out there, intentionally holding up the snap. Should have been delay of game on Detroit imo. Lot of calls going our way tonight.

Both of those non touchdowns looked like TDs to me.

I hate Sean Payton as much as I hate Patricia. Fuck em both.

His head wasn’t though.
