Now the clarification...because the coach throws the flag...they can't review it? Un believable.

Exact same thing happened to the Falcons last Sunday. It's not as though it's anything new or even unknown.

stevew · 11-22-2012, 02:55 PM

How is it that none of the refs blow that dead.

Lathum · 11-22-2012, 02:57 PM

what is the point of that rule?

Holding the whistle is the right call there, IMO. It wasn't obvious in real time that he was down (though certainly obvious in slo-mo). A play resulting in a TD can always be reversed. A whistle where it should have been a TD can't.

Interesting.

I was actually going to come back here and bet that the ruling was still wrong. In that I can't see how the penalty for an illegal challenge would over rule the "rule" that ALL scoring plays are reviewed.

Honolulu_Blue · 11-22-2012, 03:13 PM

Have a hard time hearing the game.

Is it the thinking that but for Schwartz's challenge, that play would have been reviewed and the td would not have counted?

Abe Sargent · 11-22-2012, 03:14 PM

Yup

stevew · 11-22-2012, 03:18 PM

Nice double team hold armbar on Watt to open that TD up.

Replay clearly showed both a knee and an elbow down. Throwing the challenge flag made the score unreviewable by rule.

stevew · 11-22-2012, 03:31 PM

What the crap is Houston's gameplan here? Seems like they have been in their 2minute offense all second half.

While a horrible rule, Schwartz has to know that and get a hold of himself. That's on him.

dubb93 · 11-22-2012, 03:33 PM

Ummm...hit on a defenseless receiver? On a punt? I thought his defense was to call for a fair catch and if he choose not to, and he clearly didn't call for one, he gets what he has coming.

stevew · 11-22-2012, 03:37 PM

You can't drill the runner til he fields the ball

stevew · 11-22-2012, 03:43 PM

Waiting to see the Texans call yet another horrible series of low percentage plays here

Oh, so the ruling was he didn't have the ball yet. Well, that ruling is wrong. I rewound it several times. I didn't realize that was the ruling.

stevew · 11-22-2012, 03:45 PM

I don't have a DVR here so I couldn't re-watch it

Crapshoot · 11-22-2012, 03:49 PM

So, am I the only one who thought the Texans may have scored too soon? Ie, why run that play before the 2 minute warning?

Hammer755 · 11-22-2012, 03:50 PM

Guh. Way too much time left.

Honolulu_Blue · 11-22-2012, 03:51 PM

Lions can never make a stop when it's needed. Never.

+1. The bad parts are the Fords take forever to fire anyone and the Lions having a pulse means fans are likely too grateful to really complain. It is kind of sad that being an occasional playoff team would make one considered a highly successful Lions coach.

miami_fan · 11-22-2012, 03:59 PM

This is an honest question. Not trying to troll. Why wasn't that last hit on Stafford a penalty? The helmet went to Stafford's chin.

That was a textbook football tackle. His helmet was right in his chest. Cant call that or they might as well play touch football.

jbergey22 · 11-22-2012, 04:07 PM

Pettigrew is such a bumb. He screws up so much.

I think we have seen that called in the past, but I'm in agreement. Good tackle...no spearing there.

stevew · 11-22-2012, 04:08 PM

They could literally run down the whole field on Foster's back here. But they are in love with the pass.

Glengoyne · 11-22-2012, 04:10 PM

On the bright side. This was the Johnson and Johnson receiver duo that I drafted for my fantasy team. Too bad they finally show up the same week in week...what is this 12?

That is my point. Especially when hitting a QB. Oh well

miami_fan · 11-22-2012, 04:14 PM

Hmmmmm, no need to get closer than a 50 yarder?

bhlloy · 11-22-2012, 04:15 PM

Some pretty questionable play calling there. Take the ball out of Fosters hands and then run him into the line when everyone knows a run is coming. Made the FG far more difficult than it needed to be

stevew · 11-22-2012, 04:16 PM

I hope this ends in a tie

bhlloy · 11-22-2012, 04:16 PM

If they had just taken a knee instead of losing six yards, FG would have been good

cougarfreak · 11-22-2012, 04:17 PM

Any Cincinnati fan can tell you, Graham is ok, until the game is on the line.

stevew · 11-22-2012, 04:22 PM

I wonder if the Texans are just winded here, or if they have the perfect overatedness/questionable offensive play calling to lose their first playoff game.

Four dyas ago TExas was in a looooong OT game and now they are in another. I think it's windedness.

stevew · 11-22-2012, 04:27 PM

Unbelievable play calling there

Lathum · 11-22-2012, 04:27 PM

replacement refs call that Houston ball

jbergey22 · 11-22-2012, 04:32 PM

Typical NFL. Both teams setting up for 45+ yard FG attempts to win the game. They play so scared to lose once victory is close its not even funny.

stevew · 11-22-2012, 04:33 PM

This game is a drunken fuck.

stevew · 11-22-2012, 05:50 PM

Jenkins should get tossed for that play. Looks like Garcon is back too.

stevew · 11-22-2012, 05:57 PM

This game is awesome

No this game is not awesome. I am likely going to lose my game in fantasy football this week thanks to Rg III single handedly

Julio Riddols · 11-22-2012, 06:29 PM

RG III has a level of accuracy on most of his passes that is just flat out uncanny. You can't defend the throws he made most of the first half.

bulletsponge · 11-22-2012, 06:42 PM

someone needs to fire jerry Jones from the GM job. hed rather lose and look pathetic doing it his way than win and give credit to anyone else

Scoobz0202 · 11-22-2012, 06:59 PM

Fire them all, Jerry. Then fire yourself.
