I can't believe we're going to lose to people who **** their own sister.

Harbaugh is a total bum in bowl games.

The only words Harbaugh should say to Morgan is you're cut, get off my sideline.

Damn, we're gonna get waxed. McCarthy is shook already.

That or when home cooking by the Korean judges in the 1988 olympics gave the hometown kid Park Si-Hun a gold medal over the clearly superior Roy Jones Jr.

As I said yesterday, I don't think Bran Allen pulled a Tim Donaghy. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, but still think the league should cover its bases with a formal investigation.

From the NFL's own rule book: Rule 17, Section 2, Article 1 "The Commissioner has the sole authority to investigate and take appropriate disciplinary and/or corrective measures if any club action, non-participant interference, or calamity occurs in an NFL game which the Commissioner deems so extraordinarily unfair or outside the accepted tactics encountered in professional football that such action has a major effect on the result of the game."

I want a formal investigation by the league on this. I woke up still just as heated about this and I still want Sheila to demand the league look into this. I still want her to give a scathing rebuke of league officiating.

Damn, no one is holding back.

I don't either. But no reason not to investigate it for due diligence right?

The NBA had a ref that was openly betting on games. No reason to at least have the league bring in an outside, independent investigator and ombudsman to investigate Brad Allen's decision and conduct during and prior to this game to ensure he had no financial invective for a particular outcome of this game. The Lions organization should demand an independent investigation into not only the play and decision on the field but into Brad Allen himself. I'm not saying he's another Tim Donaghy, but Brad Allen's financial records need to be monitored. He should also not be officiating another game until the conclusion of the investigation.

No one accused NFL refs as being mensa members.

He didn't talk to the ref ever. Only Sewell and Decker talked to the ref.

Yes, thank you for sharing this. I am out of likes but thank you fur sharing.

Thst wasnt the reason the flag was thrown. It was thrown because Decker "didn't" report as eligible. Decker reported as eligible and Skipper didn't say **** to the refs. Only Decker reported, but the refs screwed up and said otherwise.

This is correct. They directly took points off the board at the end of the game. Potentially game deciding points.

That needs to be reviewable now. The refs need to wear body cams like police do.

We don't know that the Badgley and the Lions make the PAT after the TD. What do we know though . . . That Taylor Decker ****ing reported as eligible and made the damn catch for two.

Yes it was, mostly, the refs game in the end. They literally called back a potential game deciding play. If you hit a buzzer beater three and the officials call it back on an incorrect decision you don't sit around and think about the missed layup at 4:02 in the 2nd quarter. You rightly recognize the incorrect call by the officials at the end of the game. The same goes here. You can breakdown this game and pass around the pie of blame. But the fact is the refs get the biggest slice of blame because they directly took points off the board, at the end of the game, and potentially, likely, cost us the game.

I want Dallas in the playoffs. I want to **** them up.

I can't add anymore reactions but no doubt they ****ed this up.

When the Lions got jobbed at Jerry World in 2014 I wasn't this mad because that picked up flag effected, but didn't directly cost them the game. Tonight, this bad, errant call by the officiating crew potentially, directly cost them the game. In a professional sports league that cannot happen. It is inexcusable that a multi-billion dollar league can allow a human error of that magnitude to cost a team, Lions or otherwise, a game. You can complain all you want about coaching, offensive play, Cam Sutton's inability to cover Lamb, whatever. That's all fine and warranted. But the fact remains the Lions potentially won this game and had a rightful, game-winning play called back because of an officials error. The penalty flag was thrown because it was alleged that Taylor Decker didn't report as an eligible receiver. All the other talk about him being uncovered is moot because that's not why the flag was thrown and the points were called back. This one, singular, egregious call directly cost one team the game.

How was your Christmas ref? What the **** else would be be saying to the official other than reporting in as eligible?

It doesn't ****ing matter. They had a game winning play potentially called back and that's bul****. Yes, Campbell should have taken the tie possibly. But the fact remains they had a game winning play potentially called back and that shouldn't have happened. Why the **** else would Decker be over talking with the ref before the play if he wasn't reporting as eligible. You can criticize coaching, that's fine. You can criticize the offensive play, that's fine. But those don't negate that they potentially got jobbed at the end by the refs with a game winning play called back when Decker likely reported.
