The refs this year really making the nfl looked rigged more than ever
Agreee!!!!!!!
Sports betting has corrupted the game.
Imagine and Jerry ain’t bought another SB in 30 years
It’s been happening for decades but This year is wayyy too obvious.
What do you mean it was the right call two penalties on the lions lined up uncovered and didn’t report
The Lions sent 3 over because they didn't want to telegraph the receiver. This crew knew in advance what this play was supposed to be. It was explained to them before the game by Campbell. Ridiculous!
Who cares if cee Dee lamb don’t fumble in the end zone lions get blown out so get over it
@@Anthony-wv9kd yall outta there first round anyway 😂
The ref tells the defense who the eligible receiver is and it’s announced in the stadium. Only thing the Lions could have been doing is hoping to confuse a player who wasn’t paying close attention and missed it. Regardless the ref screwed both teams if he confused 70 and 68.
@@Anthony-wv9kdif Barnes made that tackle Cowboys never would’ve got the touchdown. You could keep playing that game over and over
@@Anthony-wv9kdfalse equivalence. Do better.
Someone should lose their job over this. Either, this was an intentional screw up, or they screwed this up accidently. Either way, someone needs to be held accountable for this.
So you were standing there and heard the player report? The other two players didn't need to be there confusing things even if he did. Why didn't #68 speak up when he didn't hear his number announced as eligible? You'll believe anything to make yourself feel better. Lions lost. End of story.
And dallas got called on a bs tripping call so they should’ve never had a chance to win by going for 2
Exactly someone needs to be accountable for the false tripping call!
I'm a Lions fan and I am starting to believe that this is on purpose. The NFL wants Rams v Lions in the playoffs. I truly believe this now and am sick and tired of this nonsense.
As a Cowboys fan, I said the lions deserve the win in the final 2 minutes of the game. You guys got robbed from a victory and I will admit that. The officials need to be investigated but of course the nfl won’t do that
I said last night the ratings are so high they are trying to force overtime, the first flag was well after the play ended. Then an offsides, then the third one the fail. Someone wanted dan to kick that field goal and keep the game goin.
Sorry for this BS as a cowboys fan. This ain’t the first time we got over on y’all too. I’m just as disgusted as y’all are rightfully so
Honestly a ton of cowboys fans have been saying the same thing as you and im genuinely shocked at how awesome you fans are for being honest. All love @tavionharris7314
Bro the Rams ain’t going anywhere 😂
The NFL is almost unwatchable at this point. Every Sunday I wonder if it’s gonna be my team vs the other team or my team vs the refs. This has gotten out of hand.
Dak has more playoff wins than Lamar Jackson.
It’s crazy the amounts of teams this year that have been screwed over by the refs
@@anthonycampos8057How many super bowls they got?
@shirai3099 same as alot of qbs
@@anthonycampos8057 stay mad loser
Colts lost to the Browns because of a blown call at the end of the game. And now the Browns have secured a playoff game and the colts are still fighting. If the right call had been made they'd be tied and the colts would have a tie break. This has been all year.
The refs definitely like the Browns this year!
The funny part mr commish sees the refs doing no wrong. And don't need full time training
@@KUT-N-GO The more attention it gets the worse it becomes for Goodell. He will try to keep it from being an issue any way he can!
No dog in this fight, but this is one of the rare times where there is no debate. The Lions got screwed.
there is no debate. The lions violated the rules. They lost.
the refs even gave them another chance after Cowboys intercepted it next play.
rules are rules. Lions violated the rules. they don’t get a new special set of rules only for them just because you hate the Cowboys.
Not debatable. Facts matter
As a Bears fan, you can almost always say every year: The Lions got screwed by the refs this year.
Tf you mean rare? Lions deal with this bs on a consistent basis
Every time I watch a game the referee anounces any pass eligible offensive lineman. The Lions should have been listening for that, and if it was not announced call a timeout and talk to the referee.
I love how nobody is mentioning the miss tripping call on Hendershot that was clearly meant for Hutchinson which pretty much would’ve iced the game ? Why? The cowboys got hosed there clear as day go back and watch
Cowboys couldn’t lose on Jimmy Johnson’s night.. just wasn’t in the script
The flag wasn't thrown until 16 seconds AFTER the play. If the corrupt PAID OFF refs are claiming "ineligible"...why wasn't a flag thrown as soon as the lineman crossed the line of scrimmage and went up field. BECAUSE THEY CHEATED for Jerry SLEAZE Jones.
🍼🍼🍼
I believe that was definitely a factor.
Seemed that way to me.
you can NEVER call Brad Allen and his crew a GOOD crew after this season... they should be downgraded to the CFL
AGREE.
brad allen continuing to blatantly lie about who reported should have some consequence lol
The fact that this is the same guy who didn't call the DPI in the Chiefs/Packers game amongst OTHERS this season says a lot.
It's the same Brad Allen that picked up the Hitchens PI on Megatron in the playoffs 🫠
Naw we chief always cheat...@jamescatau4968
The statement that was read is a complete lie. They did not trick the officials. They had 3 because they are witnesses. Yall need to stop this mess. Its a lie. They rigged the game and this page should be ashamed for making excuses. Clearly this ref has made major mistakes before. This ref need to go I don't care if he quits, retire or gets fired. Either way... The ref gotta go!
Was it actually Allen or a ref on his crew that blew the call?
@@Nflguy4949 Either way it's the same parties involved.
This wasn't a "missed call". This wasn't during the frenzy of play where something was missed. This is about whether a meeting between player and ref happened. It did. This is about whether the coach previewed the scenario before the game su that the refs could be prepared to deal with it. That happened.
The NFL gave conspiracy theories a lot more credibility than they had before yesterday.
First time? This shits been like this since like 1970
Most people are ignoring #70 running on to the field motioning with his hands to the official that he was reporting as eligible. And #70 had Allen's full attention as he was doing this. This happened before #68 & #58 got to Allen.
is the only conversation that took place in the meeting between 68 and the ref about 68 being eligible? Where is the audio proving this as there are mics everywhere. I'll wait. Without it your theory is sitting on the conspiracy shelf. I'll wait. Outside of that, who was announced as eligible, 68 or 70? Sure wasn't 68 was it?
When the NFL itself pushes more and more people to GAMBLE.....you CANNOT have calls like this!!! Not when you are asking for fans to bet on these games
Also whos to say that the refs arent gambling and influencing the outcome of games to line there pockets.
The Lions covered regardless of the outcome of the call. Bad call, but this is a weak example for your argument
@jadencasto it's not always about covering 🙄 . sometimes parlays are wins and losses, nothing to do with the spread
Indeed, but unfortunately it’s the betting that’s ruining the game.
@@keepingitrealwithDK you aren't wrong
IM A COWBOYS FAN AND THE REFS GOT IT WRONG..TOO MANY BAD OFFICIALS MISSING CALLS THIS YEAR..
This won’t get fixed until people start to hold the referees that are throwing these games personally accountable
This wont get fixed untill NFL fans will start doing demonstrations against betting
After over 40 years of watching NFL football, it seems the NFL is trying to destroy itself.
After over 40 years of watching AMERICA, It seems AMERICA is trying to destroy itself.
Symptom of a bigger problem.
Honestly you guys are so dramatic. Relax. Bad officiating has been going on since the NFLs start. Now, yes it’s justifiable to be pissed about it and call for refs to be punished or whatever but everyone saying “oh the nfl sucks now and is ruining itself” is so stupid
@@ok9176it’s not bad officiating it’s straight cheating That’s different
@@jackhenry290Exactly 💯 the league has sucked for such a long time because of it
You’re going to watch either way stop it.
Brad Allen & crew needs to be sent sent home they might have money on games
The flag wasn't thrown until 16 seconds AFTER the play. If the corrupt PAID OFF refs are claiming "ineligible"...why wasn't a flag thrown as soon as the lineman crossed the line of scrimmage and went up field. BECAUSE THEY CHEATED for Jerry SLEAZE Jones.
I doubt that in this case. The spread was covered and the under was locked.
Doesn't the ref have a microphone? Let's hear it..😅
It is announced before the play.
It's sad that the XFL has made the NFL officiating look so terrible, within their first and second seasons. Considering the XFL makes not even a tenth of what the NFL does, the NFL has no excuse for not adopting that transparency from refs
Money rules everything, all sports are rigged to a degree
Bet you next year if they introduce VAR because of all this you guys will be mad a computer ruled it a COMPLETE 2 point conversion in 1 second
they are corrupt. prove me wrong.
If the Lions didn’t convert on the 2 point conversion refs wouldn’t have called a penalty guaranteed
rules are rules, lions violated those rules. if the refs were biased against the Lionss, they wouldn't have given them another chance after Dallad intercepted the next play….
People hate the Cowboys so much, they will ignore logic
@@James-gq4tb68 reported bird brain
@@James-gq4tbno bias, just a ref that messed up and it cost the lions the game.
@@James-gq4tbnot that there was bias but they fucked us over that play
@@James-gq4tb did the lions violate rules? no
No one is talking about if 68 was eligible, the ref would have had to tell the Cowboys that 68 was eligible. Therefore, the Cowboys would have known to cover 68.
Most people are ignoring #70 running on to the field motioning with his hands to the official that he was reporting as eligible. And #70 had Allen's full attention as he was doing this. This happened before #68 & #58 got to Allen.
Also, the actions of the Officials affected the defense as much as the offense. The defense played #68 as ineligible because his number indicted it and there was no announcement otherwise. The ruling before the play started did not indicate #68 was eligible.
Hello? That’s the controversy!! 68 declared to the ref and they claimed he was an ineligible receiver. Have you been watching this?
@@js149The only way #68 could be eligible is if he was announced as eligible by the officiating crew. If he is not announced he, and the QB for that matter, know he is ineligible.
The whole "tried to trick the official thing" is complete non-sense. We literally walked the official through this exact play before the game. He knew exactly what was coming. MCDC made that very clear in his press conference. Even repeating that notion is terrible reporting
Why did three lions players walk over to the official then?
Shefter just misspoke. He meant that we were trying to trick the defense, and he did correct himself in this segment
Well they did trick the official, but they were trying not to..
Even with Detroit's 'Trickeration' ...The player must report to the referee about his change of eligibility status before the play starts and THEN the referee announces that to the defensive captain, TV and the stadium that a player with an ineligible number is changing status. So in that being the case, the 'Trickeration' would be pointless...
I love how nobody is mentioning the miss tripping call on Hendershot that was clearly meant for Hutchinson which pretty much would’ve iced the game ? Why? The cowboys got hosed there clear as day go back and watch
It was Jimmy Johnson induction into the ring of honor night and the Cowboys wanted a win. Detroit however was the "fly in the ointment". This is the same crew that regularly somehow misses calls. Except for the call that came down from Jerry Jones to throw a late flag.
That’s dumb. They threw the flag because 68 was ineligible. It doesn’t matter if he reported as eligible if the ref tells the defense another player is the eligible receiver then 68 can’t be a receiver. By your logic Jerry would have had to tell the ref to mix up the two players.
@@dogger37JCit quite literally does matter because if he reported as eligible then he is no longer ineligible. how could #70 even report, he was no where near the man unless he screamed out “I’M ELIGIBLE!!” from 10 feet away
@dogger37JC listen to Rex Ryan's take. He blows every argument out of the water like a nuclear bomb
Uh-huh. But at least the Pistons won! 😄
@@dogger37JC you don't know football. You can have several eligible linemen as long as they report and the video clearly shows both linemen talking to the ref. They blew the call. Just like that same crew did in that KC GB game with the pass interference.
“They are regarded as a good crew. He is a good official.” By whom? Why?
Can we all question brad allens vision and state of mind? If he cant see a 6'6 330 lb guy 2ft in front of him, how can you see a hold or facemask from 15-30ft away?
Also I find it weird that the footage where he reports has Skipper runnin and a few feet away and makin me even question if skipper had reported, but Decker is right there
As a rival fan of the lions, they were screwed worse than the 2019 game against my squad. We all just need to stop preaching for officiating change and accountability because it’s never gonna happen and goodell allows this. Remember, he said the refs are better than ever this year 🙄🙄
goodell takes his orders from the owners, a bunch of extremely immature billionaire owners who are about as effective as a group of 5 year olds arguing about who gets an extra cookie...The owners knew years ago about the dangers players faced in games from injuries, especially head injuries, and just suppressed all of it cause it might cost them money...Greed kills and the greed standpoint of hiring professional full time refs is an expense the owners do not want to address, so get used to more and more garbage game changing calls like this...
What are you talking about they committed two penalties they didn’t report it and was lined up uncovered quit making up excuses should of took the extra point
Yeah I mean I actually think it's fair cuz if he messed up and thought 70 was eligible than it screwed dallas on that play. He immediately went over and told dallas who was eligible if he said 70 then dallas is obviously not gonna cover 68. So they messed up but if he didn't call the flag then dallas would've been screwed at least they got another shot.
@@davidfincher4571 You really don't get it. If Decker was the actual eligible receiver as he reported, the alignment is correct and legal.
@@vytasrauckis6703 But he didn't report, as Dan Campbell stated in the post game news conference.
This is BS. Sending multiple lineman is a common thing every team does to muddy things for defenses who don't pay attention. So why would the Lions do it differently?
I don't think I've ever seen Schefter so mad 😂

That Ref needs to be fired
Not exactly. Cowboys still had 23 seconds and a timeout down 1 point if the ref's don't make that call. That is more than enough time to get into field goal range and win the game. I agree that yes the refs made the wrong call, but if they had made the right call it wouldn't have "guaranteed" the lions victory.

Thank you for standing up to the refs guys! This needs to be addressed
Yea thank you! We need someone blindly sticking up for the NFL even when they are wrong.
Tim Donaghy hid the fact that he rigged games better than this. Brad Allen you need to get better at fixing.
Full time referees should now be mandatory in the NFL. They definitely can afford it and just don't want to. Why? For fear of them unionizing at some point. Then the referees could demand benefits and pay increases. Should the referees unionized not get the pay increase in aeason chaos would happen from a strike.

This was a complete injustice that threatens the integrity of the national football league. I know they won’t do anything about it, but I believe if the controversy becomes large enough, they could do something such as they did during the Buffalo Bills Cincinnati Bengals game last year, where Demar Hamlin collapsed. They should have to either issue a tie game between the Lions and Dallas or some other recourse. But this is the national football league, and they won’t. 😡

And they don't mention the miss call on the tripping penalty when the cowboys get pushed back
@@pindarr11460 68 was uncovered BECAUSE he was an eligible receiver. It wasn’t an illegal formation. 70 was covered. He couldn’t be a receiver even though the ref declared him so.

I would have more respect for the ref if he simply had a shred of integrity and admitted he screwed up. Fans would probably be able to deal with that. But to lie and cover up the bad call makes it seem as though they intended it.

@@anthonycampos8057thanks to the refs
The clock is stopped and a HUGE play is coming up. Good officiating would have taken all the time necessary to make sure everything was as it should be certainly including reporting as eligible. Good officiating is too often NOT what is provided.
Only the game clock is stopped not the play clock.
Did they think we wouldnt be able to see it on replay?
The ref screwed both teams by telling the cowboys 70 was eligible and not 68, so the cowboys defense wasn’t worried about 68 getting the ball which is why he was so open
Absolutely no one is talking about that. If they had reported 68 eligible Dallas would have covered him.
@@pauls5297 so then what’s the big deal here? I mean like what’s the point of reporting to the ref? You’re just basically telling the other team who you might throw the ball to, that’s just stupid
@Mendoza1414 because tackles aren't allowed up the field and aren't allowed to touch the ball first unless they are to recover a live ball
@@Mendoza1414 Yes, teams are only allowed so many eligible receivers, and it's not supposed to be a secret. Normally the player's number and how they line up defines who's eligible. That's not stupid, that's the rules. And we ain't changing the rules with 24 seconds left in a game. You must be missing a lot of what is going on in a game if you don't know that.
Idk if anyone peeped it but when #68 was reporting to the ref, the ref started walking backwards ignoring him then jogged back to the cowboys defense
Dude's Wife had Cowboys ML in her parlay
But the fact that three of them went to report was clearly to try and trick the cowboys. It’s up to the player to be sure the refs know he is reporting. There has to be another way.
@@scotttild idk how many times ive seen this arguement you obviously didnt watch this video. but i agree with your last statement there has to be a better way to take it out of the refs hands
It's been getting worse every year. In addition to last night, holding and PI calls have been atrocious all year and have literally changed the outcome of many games. It's long past time to add them and other calls to replay.
This isn't 20 years ago. Technology is at the point where we can see every detail of every play in ways, they never imagined possible. The refs need to keep the game moving, but it's time to defer to replay for most of the calls.
As a cowboys fan i think dez caught it
Me too Bro
Oh he definitely did 😂😂😂
As a lions fan, i thought it was a clear pass interference call so Dez should’ve never been in that situation in 2014.
The Dez situation would have never happened if the pass interference call wasn't picked up. So that's just karmic justice.
@@The1960killer your a lions fan you think every play is a yellow flag
Aaaaaaaaand nothing will come from this.
It's awfully upsetting that all these judgement calls that were never such an issue before, are all of a sudden becoming an issue in the advent of legal sports gambling.
Never been an issue???... Poor reffing has always been an issue.
Bro are you serious? Let me list you 2 classics from the 14-15 playoffs. The "catch" by Dez and the moment the refs picked up the flag during the lions Cowboys game
Sports has been rigged because of gambling for decades but with gambling made much easier recently, the rigging of these games has increased dramatically, especially with men's college basketball for March Madness.
NFL officiating has been a problem for years lol this isn’t anything knew. I think with legal sports gambling now, everyone’s starting to notice more now.
This wasn't even a judgement call.
This should not be acceptable. The refs need to be held accountable for consistent mistake after mistake.
I don't get why the ref was in such a hurry to leave the 3 DET offensive lineman and communicate with the cowboy defense. It didn't look like their convo was over. He just got out of there with no clarity on the matter.
Probably because the play clock is going even though the game clock is stopped. He has to notify the defensive captain and then get into position before the play can start.
@@dogger37JCpossibly
There is video of Goff telling Decker to go report, you can literally read his lips. Decker turns around and runs to the ref. So people really expect us to believe Decker forgot what to do in the 4 seconds it took him to jog to the ref?
There was no way they would let the Lions win tonight if they could help it with the induction and celebration of there legend and all.
Everyone seen Decker leave the huddle. We also seen Swell also go over with #70 a few steps behind. Why send three players when the refs says it over the PA and the other team.
@@kevinmeyer8068 Because it helps confuse the defense and why teams do it. The chance may be small but there still is a chance the defense doesn't adjust correctly.

Doesn't matter since the game is over nothing can give D the win back. This very clearly cost them the game.
Well, the tripping call on the Dallas TE even gave them a chance.
@@justinharper6909what about the missed PI on Amon-Ra? The fact is that the refs clearly did not do their job right and should be accountable for that
@@justinharper6909really? Your "whatabout" is moot. You're talking about a missed call in the frenzy of a game. There are lots of those.

This wasn't a "missed call".
Tripping on Hendershot was actually Hutchinson, eliminating the 1st down and kneel downs or a field goal to end the game.

The refs fixed this game on a platter and the only people on their side or making this argument are cowboys fans who know they got a W thanks to the refs leaving the field with their tail between their legs you could see it in their body language Ceedee after the game didn’t even know what to say after the game lol.
😂😂😂😂 man this takes home court advantage to a whoooole new level
This is what Lions fans have been dealing with for literal decades. This one just hurts a little more because for the first time in a long time they are good.
Cry more . Lions did it to themselves
Lol
Oh please explain... I'm waiting for this one @@StarWarNerd
I am pissed because this very likely took away a home game I could have gone to or sold. This is costing me $$$
@@ironlife227 instead of going for extra point they want to go for 2 3 times. Plus ref announced 70 and not 68 lions should’ve said something. You telling me no one heard that on loud speaker ., stop crying they had a chance to win in ot .
They need to overturn this win and give it to the lions. There are to many evidences pointing that this was clearly a officiant mistake
One call changed the playoff picture drastically 🧐 but no, team sports can’t possibly be fixed for entertainment purposes.
Reminds me of the washington/giants game 2 years ago, where you see the receiver check in to see if hew as on the line, you get a thumbs up from the ref. and the ref calls him for not being on the line.
People stop. Let's talk about the REAL PLAY. That bogus call on Cowboys TE for tripping. This was a 15 yard personal foul that was called on the wrong team and player. Instead of 1st and 10 it became 1st and 25. Had the play been called correctly then Dallas would have had the ball at 1st in 10 and run the clock out since Detroit had only 1 time out. Therefore, whether or Lions tackle reported or not is irrelevant. In addition there were 3 infractions on the same play. 1. Illegal touching/not reporting. 2. 1 of the Lion's WR was offsides. 3. One or both Lions tackles were left uncovered or covered up, which I was told made an illegal formation. So it was doomed from the start. Also, Dumb Dan has multiple attempts at the 2 pt conversion plus a choice in kicking the PAT and shoot for OT. Micah Parsons and Cowboys fans have complained about the Refs all season long and we are told to stop crying. Yet y'all investigating this like it's the JFK assassination. The bias and hypocrisy is deep.
When you give up a touchdown on 60 seconds you deserve to lose.
the lions gave up a touchdown in about 3 seconds from the 8 yard line on that 92 yard pass to CD so i guess they deserve to lose
Lions fans forget that that play happened.
Lions fans also forget that Hendy never tripped anyone lol 😂 bs penalty to keep the game interesting. If that phantom penalty never gets called, Dallas wins 20-13, kneeing the clock out.
After Goffs 2nd pick, 2:04 to go in the 4th and the Cowboys get called for tripping on first down??? Let's not talk about the bogus call on Hendershot. Cowboys go from 2nd and 3 to 1st and 25. Lions don't get the ball back so fast without that call if they do at all. If you rewatch the play you can clearly see Hendershot jump over the defenders leg but the ref on the sideline throws the flag against the Cowboys. Is it rigged??
I’m a die hard Detroit Lions fan and supported them when their record was 0-16! This call is heart wrenching and I can’t believe this was allowed in a game that the Lions clearly won!
We still counting this as a victory we won period I don't care lol
Maybe go to OT when your offense is rolling? Maybe cover CeeDee Lamb instead of giving up over 200 yards to one player. Come on man. He spotted you a free 7 and you still lost.
Clearly won? Even if they got the two points Dallas had a chance to win the game....
@@TrumpElonRFKjr Yeah in your dreams.
As a cowboys fan....yeah the victory should have been yours.
Adam Schefter better watch his tone before he gets fined or loses his job. Calling out the refs smh. How dare he! 😂😂😂😂
He basically can’t get fired
@boldpaul4074 I know that it just wouldn't surprise me if the nfl tried to actually do something like that. They've been shady all year
Why do they keep saying Allen isn't looking at looking at #68 when he's looking dead at him and he also nods.
When we're talking about whether or not a reff saw a guy swipe his jersey up and down the rules and whos responsibility it is to make that eligibility clear theres a problem...especially when millions are on the line and one call can have a butterfly effect...
Thank you Adam for holding refs accountable
So, its OK for everyone else to be embarrased except the officials. SMDH. THATS the problem with this game now. Too much protection towards the officials, no accountability for these part time players in the NFL. Change is needed.
You can guarantee there'll be a change to the way players announce eligibility, how refs verify that eligibility, and how that eligibility is then communicated.
Thank you Adam. My 10 year old was close to tears last night after we celebrated a Lions win, only to watch the refs steal the victory from us.
Teaching moment, coach was too aggressive and our team didn’t cover their best receiver, like at all.
@@theradzone934wrong lesson. The teaching moment is that sometimes even if you win someone will find a way to take it from you. When that happens, get pissed off, stay pissed off, and come back and show everyone who exactly they're dealing with.
@@Nukefandango wow, ok. You do realize it’s just a game right? Hopefully your kid does.
@@theradzone934Don’t be the “it’s just a game guy”, you know it’s more than “just a game” to us. If not, then I don’t understand why you’re even here. It’s cool if you don’t care but don’t judge those of us who do care.
@@SpenmoChins3 I’m not usually that guy, but there’s a kid mentioned here and that comment was pretty intense haha
Looked like 68 reported but right wr appeared to not be on the line from screenshots. That would be an illegal formation. Refs said there were two flags and two fouls on the play afterwards. They only announced the illegal touch. The refs missed the “tripping” call on Dallas as well.
Interviewer: Herm….why didn’t Dan Campbell kick the PAT when he was 7 yards back?
Herm: YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!!!!!!
Dan Campbell tried to confuse the cowboys by sending 3 linemen but instead confuse the Refs 😂😂😂😊
Yeah, I think that is what actually happened.
Dan Cambell said before the game he talked to the offical about the play. There was no trick done to the ref he should of known.
Exactly they were trying to be sneaky knowing they couldn’t just score they were desperate honestly the whole game
@hellow1098 yeah the trick was supposed to be for dallas they sent 3 guys over to do 1 guys job and for no reason because the refs have to let dallas know who's eligible anyways. Still a mess up but also the lions doing too much made it all possible.
Agreed. But these days all pro sports is about doing everything you can to trick the opponent.@@kangeastwood1463
Blown call, ref made a blunder and he should admit it! NFL needs checks and balances in place so lineman reporting as eligible can receive a confirmation before lining up for the snap!
You mean like getting on the mic and confirming who reported to you as being eligible? If Decker would have heard that he could have corrected the referee. I don't understand why this isn't procedure anymore.
@@lorddrewskii’m confused, why should decker have corrected the referee? the clock was running down and i’m sure the last thing on his mind was worrying about the official, whose job is to make sure everything is correct, getting this incorrect. especially considering #68 gave the signal (rubbing his jersey) RIGHT in front of his face… yet he still pointed to a player 10ft away.
@@aamorlu Decker should not have had to correct the ref, this was more of a complaint that the ref should have announced it over his mic who was eligible instead of saying it directly to the Cowboys. At least the Lions would have known the ref screwed up and may have been able to correct him ... but at that point Decker may as well just told the Cowboys he was getting the pass.
Lets go to the tape. You can see the official acknowledge something in the direction of 68. He nodded and was looking at 68
There is a flip side to the official failing to nominate the correct player as eligible, the defence was also unable to make the adjustments which could have led to the completion.
They should have replayed the down, which was what the third attempt was.
@@iamtingli4896 Only if the Ref knew #68 reported eligible but the Ref forgot to inform Dallas.
Thank you Shefty and Rex Ryan for bringing the heat on this one. I am curious to see what the guys on Pats show have to say
I agree with everything that was said except, as fans we don't care if it only affects playoff seating or not, we want & EXPECT an unbiased professional game called in every single game from preseason to SB.
Yes the officials blew it. Hope they are held accountable. But Dan not going for the extra point after (2x) to tie and possibly send it to overtime blows my mind. What was he thinking ? He pretty much looked like he took his ball and left the field after that officiating BS call.
There have been too many Sundays where we talk about officials instead of teams. This one single call changed the top of the entire NFC, this did not just affect the Lions. If the Lions win they take at least the #2 after the Philly loss. Who do you think Seattle and LA would rather play? Everyone has their take and, it's much more simple. The ref heard 68 but said 70 since 70 had been reporting all game long. He told the Cowboys 70, he has no choice but to throw the flag after the play is done, that's why the flags were so late. I'm quite sure the Cowboys instantly reminded him he said 70, even though he had 68 in his head. When you spend all game telling a team that 70 is eligible it's easy to say that number again by accident. This is reinforced by the fact that the coach went over the play with the ref before the game. He just said the wrong number by accident and because of that he had to throw the flag. You can't penalize the Cowboys because you told them the wrong number. I would rather him be a man and own up to it than be a coward and pretend he did not screw it up.
The tripping call that was committed by Detroit and then CALLED on Dallas is what changed the entire NFC!!! If that OBVIOUS tripping call had been called against the correct team, then we wouldn't be having this conversation now would we???
@@LVVideoGuy if you read my comment I completely agree. The officiating was horrible, and that has happened too often. That tripping penalty should have been called and Hutchinson and the communication within the crew screwed up, that's why it looks like a phantom call but make no mistake it was a real call on the wrong team that the ref screwed up. It is the fourth quarter of one of the most important games of the year and the entire officiating crew missed many calls but three worst were missing PI calls, that tripping call, and the conversation. Too many mistakes within a short window that affected the outcome of the game. Everyone is focusing on the conversion because that was the last play and the officials decided the end of the game instead of the players. Even though they missed the pi and the tripping both teams had a chance to rebound from those calls. That's why the conversion was the most egregious of all their errors. I don't know how the NFL allows this crew to stay. This is only a side hustle for these people, if they can't do it then get rid of them. There is a long line at the door of the NFL. If they're going to continue with part-time refs then at least find people who's regular job is not their primary source of income and need that NFL job, so it's not their side hustle. When you got lawyers and CEOs as refs their mind is not on that job and the NFL has made it abundantly clear that there are no repercussions other than a slap on the wrist for screwing up. I'm focused on the conversion call because that turned the NFC upside down and affected many teams, not just Detroit.
Who would ever want to bet on NFL games again?? The outcome is whatever the refs want it to be
What about the tripping call that was against the Cowboys and was clearly Aiden Hutchenson trying to trip Pollard? That would've ended the game
People are focused on one call (which was a huge miss ) but there were plenty of missed calls in that game .. and truthfully the Cowboys should've ran the ball on 2nd and 3rd Down on their last possession we wouldn't be having this convo
@@AmericanNinja02 I agree but had that tripping call been on the right person it would've been a first down and 10... not 1st and 25. Hard not to pass when you need 25 yards for a first down
@oddvocals3224 I completely agree on 1st down pass ..2nd and 3rd run the ball ..even if you get 2 or 3 yards you can take almost 40 seconds off the clock .. which makes a difference and also CD fumbling at the 2yrd line hurt ..because even if we end up kicking a FG that's a 10point lead games' over
The call was correct based on the fact that the ref told the Cowboys defense that 70 was eligible (which can be heard on the Cowboy’s radio broadcast), which led to the defense not paying any attention to 68, so it would have been unfair to the defense to have the ref report the wrong number as eligible and than allow the play to stand. The obvious issue is that if 68 did report, the ref screwed up by reporting the wrong number to the defense.
I do also think the controversial call is shielding Dan Campbell from the fact that after the call, he still chose to go for 2 from the 7, and then when that didn’t work and he got another chance due to the offsides, he went for it again. I understand the initial call, but that was a bad coaching decision to continue to go for 2 when they were backed up and considering the emotions and frustration the players were feeling after the call. Kick the extra point and go to overtime.
Funny how everyone wants ignore that little factoid!
There needs to be some type of review for dumb ref calls of high consequences.
The Lions won the game but the stupid refs gave the game away to the cowgirls
I am a Dallas fan and I agree that Detroit should’ve had the 2 point conversion. However, how is it Dallas fault for the refs being shitty. We get all the blame and it’s lions v refs yet the cowboys are the most penalized team in the NFL.
Well if we didn't fumble at the goal line it would not matter lol
The lack of accountability for Allen's crew (especially when EVERY pundit says the Lions got screwed) is mind boggling to me. Even Allen coming in and making comments in the aftermath of it and STILL not owning up to it pisses me off beyond all measure. Decker is a HUGE MAN and there's no way Allen doesn't see Decker reporting.
Most people are ignoring #70 running on to the field motioning with his hands to the official that he was reporting as eligible. And #70 had Allen's full attention as he was doing this. This happened before #68 & #58 got to Allen.
Also, the actions of the Officials affected the defense as much as the offense. The defense played #68 as ineligible because his number indicted it and there was no announcement otherwise. The ruling before the play started did not indicate #68 was eligible.
@@jeffreycaudle5108lol … no. Decker reported plain and simple. Allen messed it up by ASSUMING 70 was reporting. They were trying to confuse the defense … and 70 isn’t waiving his arms in any way. Are you blind?
And yes, the defense played him as ineligible because THE REF GOT IT WRONG and told the defense that 70 was eligible instead when nothing could be further from the truth. You must be daft or intentionally blind to not see how this was bungled by the officials here
Gambling in the NFL has raised it's ugly head...
That also means the dallas cowboys thought #70 was the eligible player and that explains why #68 was wide open. The lions tried to trick the cowboys on who was eligible so they wouldn't know who exactly was eligible. And confused the Ref smh crazy game
Facts. Anything else is false
Not possible 70 was eligible… he was in the middle of the line…That is the refs fault once again.
If Dallas thought #70 lining up at tackle was the one who reported as eligible, then they are dumb. Tackle can't report eligible.
Decker wasn't wide open. There were two defenders and no other offensive players in that area. Dallas just got beat, plain and simple... heaven forbid the Cowboys ever lose to the Lions, though... the refs will never let that happen if they have any say.
@jonathanpicket124 they called tripping on Payton Hendershot when actuality Hutchinson was the one trying to trip pollard. They called it on Dallas cowboys an stopped a crucial Drive when it was actually on the lions. So there where missed calls an bad calls on both sides. The lions also could've kicked a field goal an went into OT but they got greedy an paid for it.
