Yeah, the explanation was that there was "no contact." Which obviously wasn't the case. What I thought was weird about that was Jeff Tripplett was the official on the sideline explaining it to Stafford. What was he even doing there? I guess they put officials that didn't make the playoff...

What do you say, guis, do we win the game by 27 or 31 if the refs don't hate us and screw us all game long?

I've only said about 15 times I don't think it made a difference in the final outcome. I'm talking about this call only. And I don't know if it was marked off or not with all the confusion during the game. Maybe it wasn't. Several people have said it was, though.

Yep, that's why this call is getting such run. If a flag had never been thrown, Lions fans wouldn't have liked it, but it would've been just another possibly missed call. But for the refs to actually mark off the yardage, then change their minds and say no penalty with no explanation? That's...

LOL And yes, you still made it even if you opt out. Surely this joke of a game is on its last legs anyway and such things won't be a factor.

I have a feeling the NFL has it exactly the way it wants it.

DON'T CARE :jerry MADE MONEY

I seriously think he keeps doing these movies so he has the excuse/artistic license to continue using gallons of roids and HGH...

Dude. We've gotten great calls all year long. We should be the last ones to complain about officiating this year. Do you really think the league hates its most popular team?

Does seem weird for the NFL to even comment on such a thing when holding is rampant on practically every pass play run today. Just some PR to try to knock down some of the conspiracy theories out there, I'd bet.

:facepalm Jerry is such a loon. This is the same guy who thought it was significant that Quincy had the same birthday he had.

Only 26 bucks... How many of these is Jerry actually selling...

Yeah, I'm sure if I buy it 100% because most of those weird-looking short passes were early in the game, and he got better as the game went on. I actually wondered if he wasn't hurt a little bit early in the game and he improved as it wore off.

But did you get to bust them in the chops?

Why did you skip that last sentence? :)

I don't buy the facemask call because if you slow everything down enough, you can see facemask/hands to the face on literally every single play on the line or in the backfield. He didn't hold the mask or turn his head at all. What I did see was Hitchens making contact and restricting...

^^ Yep. I've been very bullish on this team since the second Philly game. Wasn't sure about Washington because I didn't know if we'd rest people or not, but other than then I've been extremely confident about our winning the last several weeks including yesterday. But next week, not at all...

Yep. He had no idea where the ball was and he ran though the receiver. If he hadn't made contact he'd have been okay... We see that play happen fairly often. But he did. Again, that didn't cost the Lions the game -- I think we win regardless. But that was a horrible call.
