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.

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

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.

Auto spelling correction is a good reason not to post from your iPad. That said, now that I'm posting from a laptop, I keep touching the screen to focus the mouse. That is actually quite a bit more embarrasing.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

+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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
