What a performance by the Lions - total dominance. 5 TD passes for Goff.

LaPorta with the hat trick?

 

[Edonidd]

His head wasn’t though.

Look at the angle of that camera though. There was another shot from the opposite side that was straight down the line and gives a better view of it. If that was the only angle I'd be upset too, from that angle it looks legal.

I am not sure why they went for it on 4th and 2 at 35-17 and 2 minutes to play.

I'm not sure why they went for a td pass. Being up 21 instead of 18 is no difference, so I see why they didn't kick a FG. First down ends the game, but I guess so does going up by 4 TDs. As jnrealistic as it is, maybe a 3 td lead isn't 'quite game over?

This is just a quick freehand. Obviously not conclusive, but his head is touching the line through the ball. There is an angle here though, you can see that. There's another view that they showed on the TV. My dvr just doesn't go that far back, and I didn't record the game.

Best I could find. I think at 38 seconds of the video. I don't know how to capture an image though.

He’s still not past the ball, his head is right at the end of the ball. Could be neutral zone infraction but he’s not more over than Hutchinson is at the end.

Holy shit who cares about the penalty shit, Lions destroyed the Denver defense, that's the story

No one‘s claiming Denver lost because of the offsides call, doesn’t mean they didn’t get screwed three times inside the 10.

All it does is change the score to 42-21 not a big deal but bad officiating is still happening with no repercussions from the league that’s the bigger problem at large.

It looks over to me, not sure it needed to be called. It definitely wasn't as egregious as many calls I see missed. But I don't think it can be called a BS penalty. Either way, I'm glad it didn't affect the game.

Boy am I glad I missed the second half of that Steeler game.

When I got back and asked my son how the game went, since I didn’t see the score.

His response: it was like watching the Jardiance commercial on endless loop.

That's a perfect way of describing it

Jerome bettis tried to fumble the game away. Fucking hilarious until Ben got him. Dumbass should have just stayed outside and run past him.
