Wild Card Weekend 2015: Detroit Lions @ Dallas Cowboys

[Doomsday]

If they can turn this into a gutter war I like our chances better.

And they did, and won it.

The ball was absolutely catchable but i still don't think was PI. Detroit player was holding Hitchens facemask as he was running

BALL WAS NOT CATCHABLE

It was underthrown and it hit our guy in the back. If you watched you saw Jerome Henderson sprinting down there screaming exactly that. And he was right. That's why they picked up the flag.

If the ball had been thrown higher or over the receivers head, it probably should have been called PI

Look people. Detroit got that bullshit running into the punter and that bogus offensive PI on Williams --- who was pushed into the defender by another defender.

 

[Doomsday]

To play this poorly and still gut out a win is huge. The monkey off their backs now, look out NFL. Three more, fuckers.

They ran into our punter, they touched Dwayne twice on fair catches. Those are just 3 I remember.

That at flag they picked up on hitchens, the ball hit hitchens before he made contact. Granted, he should have had his head turned, but that didn't win the game for Dallas.

They knocked Dez down on that one play Romo took a sack on, and he was clearly going there with the ball.

They also got away with a ton of freaking holding. The one play where Spencer just missed the sack their OL had a two arm hold andpull on Tyrone Crawford

On Romo's last TD to Williams, they should have thrown the flag for personal foul going low on the QB's legs but did not.

What about the PI against Williams, who was pushed by a Detroit defender into the other Detroit defender? He then the following play scored the TD.

The only guy who possibly could have caught that ball was Hitchens had he turned around

Yeah that was a bad call too

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Berman and Jackson are talking shit about that play. Fuck them.

 

[Doomsday]

None of this penalty or officiating shit matters. When it came down to the nut cutting, we had the knife in OUR hands!

 

[dbair1967]

It will be the narrative all week long so brace yourself. There were many more bad calls against us but that one will loom large.

Frankly I am stunned they got it right. No PI was the right call.

 

[dbair1967]

Berman and Jackson are talking shit about that play. Fuck them.

Jackson seemed more convinced something should have been called on Dez for running onto the field to protest

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Yeah that was a bad call too

Saw a number of holds by the Detroit OL on our defenders, and some block in the backs that went uncalled.

They didn't play well for most of the first half for sure.

But they played pretty well the 2nd half.

They made plays when it mattered and some of them were huge.

Even had they handnt changed it, who knows what would have panned out for there. Maybe they would have had to settle for a FG, in which case we'd have won anyway. Maybe they would have turned the ball over. It wasn't like they had the ball on the half yd line or something.

I still can't believe I will be on a fricken airplane for that Cowboys/Packers game. I even have a layover in Dallas to add insult to injury.

Three more, you fucking pencil necked geek!

 

[dbair1967]

I completely agree about the PI. That said, Dallas almost didn't deserve to win, because it did require such calls and some other flags during the final drive to get them in position.l.

Those two defensive penalties on them on our TD drive were absolutely the right calls. Dunbar would have been wide open for an easy conversion had their LB not tackled him. Beasley was definitely grabbed and held.

 

[Sheik]

Berman and Jackson are talking shit about that play. Fuck them.

You think Jackson's lips are purple from sucking Berman off for the last 20 years?

I think it might be a good time to fake severe flu or maybe even mention Ebola like symptoms at the airport
