[Motown Bombers]

Almost had a Malice at the Palace situation.

HOW IS METCALF NOT EJECTED? You can punch a fan now? 

The refs probably aren't looking at the stands.

Yeah, against one of the most anemic offenses in the NFL. Bottom 10 in total yards per game, bottom 10 in total passing yards, 14th in scoring and TDs overall. It's not like they're showing up against a good offense. When they've had the chance to, they have not. 

Hey man, just trying to look for positives here 🙂

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Only in the NFL can you slug a fan in the face when you're on the sideline and not get ejected. Even the NBA ejected players before Malice at the Palice got too out of hand. In the NFL though you can punch fans and remain in the game. Amazing!

[sagnam]

To be balanced, bringing an opponent's jersey to bait them over is a bit ****ty. Still, Metcalf is a child.

Anyone still think this team is going to win 3 in a row?

Yes.

We're not just going to win 3 in a row, we're going to win our division and host a playoff game.

Hey look, play the guy and things happen.

TeSlaa’s got hands. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

There we go baby. TeSlaa coming alive with two catches on this drive. That was our only drive with a first down since early in the first quarter. 

[sagnam]

This is why Raymond shouldn’t see the field as more than the 4th receiver. Teslaa can do everything Raymond can do, only better.

The league officials need the ability to call down and eject him.

He got popped good too.

I guess the league can't buzz that one down from New York. Only everything else. So if Metfcalf had used a blunt object as a weapon instead of his first, oh well, refs didn't see it, so he can't do anything. That last comment isn't directed at you, but the league.

Raymond is pretty quick and elusive. Teslaa seems more like a possessive receiver. But I agree, more plays should be called for him.

[TP_Fan]

3rd and 10 and they play 20 yards off the TE. I mean they made him throw underneath and there isn’t a guy within 10 yards. Brutal scheme. 

[sagnam]

Famous Campbell clock management 

[sagnam]

This defense …

[TP_Fan]

The clock management. Oof. 

[Motown Bombers]

Probably shouldn't have helped the Steelers out with a timeout. 

[TP_Fan]

3rd and 10. 3rd and 11. Bad clock management. A complete mess. Up 10-3 is nice, but man has this been sloppy and bad.

Probably should have played defense.

[Jason_R]

Just wait for Jaymo to have a booger flick celebration today and for Madison Ave to call down and DQ him. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

I can't believe you can slug a fan or potentially use a blunt object as a weapon against a fan and not get ejected all because he refs didn't see it. How can the league not be able to buzz that one down to the officiating crew? They can rule on everything else, even overturn calls and make refs throw flags for plays. But a player can punch a fan use a weapon against a fan, and still be in the game. What a joke.

[sagnam]

Giving up 3 3rd and 10+. Lions gonna Lion.
