We got a legit chance to steal one here... let's see if Stafford can do the job

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Wow! Are you kidding me????????????????

 

[CyYoung31]

THAT SUCKS MAN. Sorry Sturg. I feel bad for the Lions.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Not sure I've seen that before in that situation.

 

[CyYoung31]

In other news, Kam Chancellor is a beast.

 

[CyYoung31]

What the hell? The Lions should have let them score.

 

[sturg33]

That's just the worst way to lose a game... maybe worse than the cowboys bs playoff loss if not the same magnitude

And now the NFL and ESPN saying that the loose ball in the end zone was a foul on Seattle for intentional batting and should have given Detroit a 1st down from the half yard line...

LOL... Dallas all over again

I saw Seattle bat the ball in the end zone and I wondered about that.

Meh. There was no one else around the ball. That rule is there to keep teams from preventing the other team from recovering it. The Lions wouldn't have gotten the ball back anyway, and the ball was likely heading OB regardless.

Just saying... it's a clear foul. Even Blandino is saying they messed up.

Of course that doesn't matter

I can understand why the refs didn't call it though.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Anybody else realize that play happened right about where the "Fail Mary" play in the Packers/Seahawks game from a few years ago?

I don't get why he didn't just pick it up.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

And no repercussions for the blown call that subsequently lost the Lions a game. No accountability at all in this league.

Between the original Calvin rule, the Cowboys last postseason, and this... it seems the league has it out for us.

Tough to really empathize with Lions when we are talking about a technicality.

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but aren't offensive players allowed to bat the ball out of bounds on the sideline? I honestly don't see a difference here.

yes, it's a dumb rule that doesn't really make any sense.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Yeah it's a dumb rule, but it'd a rule nonetheless. Until they change it, it needs to be enforced.
