Personally I think the Lions were trying to trick the Cowboys as to who was reporting but sending three players. The entire reporting system maybe needs to be updated.
👍
Don’t think this is the first time its happened… Campbell said green bay tried to it to them last year but hutch read it and intercepted the ball ..this shit ain’t nothing new
They did replay the down twice more @@Drumbsticks
@@Drumbsticks they had no TO and you think you could of heard it ? Stadium was loud
@@Drumbsticks Campbell said that u couldn’t really hear from the sideline plus no timeouts .. so idk
Ultimately, the new rule will have it so that only reporting linemen can go up to the official
Yep
The Lions being imprecise on such an important, "best play in the bag" play is hard to imagine. They set this stuff up all year. The Ben Johnson/Campbell long game is ON POINT. Just a shame they drew the worst ref crew in the league.
How weren’t they precise? 68 reported - nobody else did. Explain yourself.
@@aljohnson5601 He's saying the ref and NFL official statement doesn't add up.
@@aljohnson5601 You don't know that, you think it because it's what it looks like in the video, but it also looks like 58 and 70 reported. &0 more than anyone because he made the arm motion that linemen make when they are reporting, which neither 68 nor 58 did. The best you could say is that it was uncertain who reported, but that should have been clear by what the officials announced in the stadium.
Why is everyone assuming that if the referees had gotten this all correct the Cowboys wouldn’t have made corrected adjustments and defended this from actually happening. There’s more proof that they would have failed than succeeded because when given two more chances, what did they do? They earned the L.
They tried to hide 68 and the 70 reported and it was clearky broadcasted over the loudspeaker
They tried to confuse the Cowboys and ended up confusing the ref. They tried to deceive.
Agreed but that isn't their fault. They did everything they were supposed to do legally. They even told the refs ahead of time what they were doing. The ref messed up then blamed the team that did everything right. The refs were lazy and didn't do their job.
What? Every play is an attempt to deceive. That's the reason for a huddle, so your play, formation, and snap count isn't known.
Yep! Tried to deceive and confuse by running 3 players at the ref for one to report. Ended up deceiving and confusing the ref. 😅 You can't buy that kind of irony at any price. 😂
That ref got bumrushed by three Lions players 😂
They tried to trick the Refs and it backfired 😂 the right call on tripping and we wouldn't be in this situation
The ref made a mistake, but would it be fair to the Dallas Defense to allow that to be a score? Dallas heard that 70 was eligible so they covered him. They had no idea 68 was eligible so they left him wide open.
Exactly
I hear ya, it's what the rules state. But you are right, there's no way to run the play over again. Also, there's usually only one player reporting as eligible, so to have two players go up to the referee, has the potential to cause confusion on the ref's part, which it did.
The way that the Lions lined up 70 couldn’t be eligible. Dallas would know that based on alignment, he was covered.
@Lionshawk lol, point is there was no way for Dallas to know that 68 was eligible, because he wasn't announced as eligible.
@@Lionshawk But 58 wasn't covered, and he had been with the ref, too.
As a Lions fan I have no other choice but to move on and get ready for week 18. But,, its important that this is still being talked about because so much is ridding on these late season games. It's not just the Lions getting screwed. It's been progressively getting worse across the league. The integrity of the entire game at stake.
It actually was the Cowboys that got screwed on that phony tripping call. Don't hear you talking about that at all.
@@Tony7777M You are in effect saying make up calls should be allowed because they even the score to maintain a level playing field and blah blah blah...... ?
no he didnt@@tommytomtom5531
let's just do it your way and ignore all the bad calls against The Cowboys and let the corrupt Dan Campbell send 3 players to confuse the officials and then blame them.
Campbell knew he confused the official and should have said something before the snap. All on Campbell who caused the whole issue anyway.@@tommytomtom5531
It's one of those situations where if the 2 point conversion would've counted dallas would've gotten. Screwed. Because they wouldn't have known 68 was eligible. At least by them throwing a flag, you guys got a second chance. If it would have counted dallas wouldn't have gotten a redo.
Why can’t/won’t Brad Allen or NFL come out and admit the mistake? I think that’s what pisses a lot of people off. No public accountability.
Why can't Lion's fans look at the alignment before the snap, count six men on the line of scrimmage, remember that seven are required, and understand that the Lions were in an illegal formation? Play nullified. No 2 points regardless of who reported.
@@retiefgregorovich810You're incredibly unintelligent, the Lions were properly lined up and every sports network has gone over that.
@@retiefgregorovich810 I just reviewed the play. The Lions had seven men on the LOS. The left receiver, slot receiver, running back and QB were off the line.
Exactly. If 68 was eligible, then 70 was in illegal formation. Lions were trying to be sneaky and it backfired on them
Because NFL officials aren’t accountable
With 19 seconds left of the play clock, the referee announced that #70 had reported as eligible. If that was wrong.......WHY WAS NO ONE ON THE LIONS SIDELINE...... SCREAMING to correct it?????
No kidding. If you order a burger and fries at the takeout window and they say chicken sandwich and onion rings coming right up, you bloody well say something. You don't collect your meal and act all shocked that they got it wrong. You already knew that and didn't fix it when you had the chance.
They were still 15 ft away in the huddle... nothing over the PA. That's how
Dean just said it’s hard to hear the PA down there.
@@uinthesun1761 They have people in the booth for every game. Another excuse shot down.They probably have people in the stands too.
Have you ever been to a stadium? The loudspeaker might as well be the voice of adults in Peanuts cartoons
It’s 2024 and we still got people on Zoom without a basic dedicated microphone. 🤦🏻♂️
Ultimately if the official who flagged Cowboys TE Henderschott for 15 yard penalty for tripping realized that it was DE Hutchinson who tried to trip Pollard with 1:50 seconds left in the 4th quarter of the game then the Lions don’t ever get the ball back for any of this to happen. Pollard got a first down and the penalty would’ve brought it to about the 10 yard line . Three kneel downs and game is over.
It wasn't Henderschott that was flagged, it was Zach Martin.
@@andrewthecrip574 It was #89 Hendershot
Actually Pollard got 7 yards.
Dean Blandino is mistaken. He mentioned a couple of times during this interview that SKIPPER (#70) did not report as eligible. This is not true. If you watch the video it is very clear that 70 comes running on the field performing the hand gestures to report him as an eligible receiver. He is running toward the ref while making these hand gestures and you can see the ref is looking at him.
Great take, fellas. Thank you! Blows my mind that Allen thinks the Lions A) sent the eligible guy to an ineligible spot, B) Sent an ineligible player to an eligible spot, C) Threw to Decker with the entire play clearly focused that way. Allen simply made a poor assumption and wasn't able to or didn't know to correct it.
The Lions didn't need to have 3 offensive lineman showing up, to create confusion on who was the eligible receiver. It was made obvious, when the official announced that #70 was eligible, that 68 was not acknowledged by the officials.
It's not a great take because it ignores that Decker was not an eligible receiver based upon how he lined up. Even if the ref got the number wrong (which the Lions did nothing to correct, even though they admit that they knew the ref had the wrong number), Decker was still ineligible because of how the the offense lined up. How this is being ignored by the supposedly expert pundits is beyond me. They are not looking at the whole play, just one aspect. Also, the video clearly shows that 70 ran toward the ref and signaled he was the eligible receiver while doing so. The ref clearly saw and believed that or he would not have made the announcement he did. The Lions had multiple penalties on that play, all of them legit and would have resulted in the play coming back with a loss of 5 yards.
What this take was is a softball take to not get your self on the bad side of the NFL.
So I guess Kurt Warner was wrong on Sunday stating that everyone on the Lions were legally lined up for Decker to be the eligible receiver. I guess Rex Ryan was wrong also.
@@andrewambrus6826 Yes. Lots of people who analyzed this quickly missed the lineup. That has been covered by many others. Interestingly, during the broadcast, either Troy or Joe (can't remember which) said at that time that 68 was not lined up legally to catch a pass. Also, you can't change the fact that 70 was announced to the defense and in the stadium, both head coaches acknowledge that they heard that 70 was announced, but yet Detroit did nothing to correct it. umber 70 made the motion while running up to the ref to report that he was going to be eligible. The ref clearly saw that, because that is what he announced and what Detroit told the refs they would be doing before the game. There is a reason that Detroit sent three offensive linemen to the ref to report, but claim that only one did. They were trying to create confusion and they did that successfully. They confused everyone, even themselves because they lined up wrong.
@@michaeldurkin8659you need a rule book you are clueless.
As #70 runs onto the field video shows him raising his hand and rubbing the front of his jersey with ref Allen looking straight at #70 as he runs onto the field. It does appear #68 verbally reports as eligible, sans the physical gesture (hand in air rubbing jersey). It's my understanding that both the verbal and physical gesture is required. So, #68 does verbal (no physical) and #70 does physical (no verbal). So, neither followed the rule. Is that not right?
Maybe Brad Allen should show up for the pregame meeting with Dan Campbell
For what it's worth, I talked to retired referee Jerry Markbreit about this at length. He felt, as Dean said, there was some disguising going on by the Lions, but he said he would have handled the three linemen very slowly, asking each one, "Who are you, and why are you here?" And then when he gets three answers, THEN he makes the announcement about eligibility. Brad Allen went too fast, and if he had announced the illegal formation foul also, he would have made things much easier on himself.
You can’t fix that. You can’t go bad and tell the defense that 68 was eligible after the fact
Dean blamed lions on saturday after the game what a change in his opinion today
You can’t overturn it with replay. The Cowboys were told 70 was the only eligible. They had no reason to cover 68, that’s why he was open. Had the ref announced 68, it could have been a different outcome.
Regardless, the Lions had one more chance and Goff under threw to an open receiver. That would have been ball game.
No Decker was still covered. He was the bookend to the line, every defense knows to watch out for that regardless, which is why two defenders were near Decker but just a bit late.
Yeah, I don’t buy that. The announcement is hard to hear on the field, and the ref telling them in person was on the other side of the line. Only an eligible receiver can line up how he’s lined up; they all know from looking at the formation that he’s an eligible receiver. They aren’t going to not cover a receiver because they’re pretty sure they didn’t hear his number, with the crowd going nuts drowning everything out.
goff couldn't throw the last ball accurately because parsons and demarcus lawrence was on his ass within 1 second..lol
Blandino is WRONG.
Video shows #70 performing the universal "tackle-eligible" gesture in clear view of the ref, who confirms with his own hand gesture that #70 was the "tackle-eligible". I did NOT see video proof of #68 doing the gesture.
Video don't LIE.
What was his thoughts on the incorrect tripping call?
Lol this is seriously not being talked about by ANY of the media. That simple call actually done right would've ended the ENTIRE game. No chance for Detroit to even have the ball back.
If 68 was the one reporting, why is there nobody saying that 70 ant the other one had NOTHING to do beside the ref.. It should simply be illegal to go beside the ref if you have nothing to do there.
It’s to mask what they’re doing to the defense and many teams do it all the time.
Well, to me that's not fairplay at all ! No matter who does it and in which sport. Play the game not theater !@@jc43261jc
Doesn’t Matter what anyone thinks or believes…only one reported (68) and refs screwed it up and then pointed fingers at players and HC which just makes it worse 😮
But not a single Lions player or coach reacted to the announcement, it´s their job to do that too.
If you’re going to “report as eligible” in a way that will confuse the other team, make sure you don’t confuse the refs as well
But would it be fair to allow the score? Dallas defense had no idea that 68 was eligible and left him wide open (and covered 70). They should have just replayed the down, but should have given the Lions 2 points.
@@johnlicciardello2389 yea why punish dallas
@@kyledoege4573 how can you confuse a ref by walking up to him ? Only one reported and that one counts..no one else… there’s no assuming theres rules.
Correct it how? Refs announced 70 as eligible. They told the Cowboys (and Lions, and the stadium) that 68 wasn't eligible. So the Cowboys didn't cover him. What does a correction look like? League says to Dallas our bad, we didn't mean that thing we announced, game over, sucks to be you?
With the vested interests with sports books we should start looking at the NFL as WWE. Meaning enjoy the experience knowing there will be a call or two that will decide a game. There may be better ways to spend hard earned money than to purchase NFL tickets. I believe fans will have a better experience watching the games from home. The NFL wants to expand streaming anyway.
Please stop.
Good news is we wont be screwed in the playoffs cause all eyes are watching, might be a good thing that happened
The ref was TRYING to cover his own ASS!!
You cant "just correct" it. They announced 70 as eligible to Dallas so Dallas had no reason to make sure 68 was covered. They would have played defense differently had they announced it correctly. The only right thing to do at that point would be to just run the play again
Anybody know how many players can be eligible on a given play?
Let's see ... there has to be 7 players on the line of scrimmage. Obviously only 2 of those can be at the ends of the line so the other 5 are not eligible. Thus, 11 minus 5 means 6 are eligible.
How do you have the worst crew in the biggest game of the week? They should not be working the playoffs. The NFL is losing
its image which is hard to get back. This seems to happen on a weekly basis.
A view from the recliner. The ref was running away before No.70 even got to him, how could 70 even have reported? Brad Allen just blew it. He's human, they can make mistakes, but when time was stopped there was no need to hurry off.
Refs messed up, but the only reason that drive even happened was because the refs messed up with a tripping call that wasn’t tripping and was attempted by the lions not the cowboys. That went from a 2nd and 2 to a first and 25 and stopped the clock.
100% of the butthurt whiners seem blind to this very obvious fact.
Just shut tf up about the tripping. They called the wrong number. Where you think was (attempted) tripping by hutch wasn’t even where the flag was thrown.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
@@ralphfinklea7855 true, it just changed who is wronged, and these shows would not be talking about that tripping call if the lions win
@@richgoloversic4479 They called it on the guy that was blocking Hutchinson (who actually attempted the tripping) and the ref that threw it was standing right next to them. Y’all never have the same energy when it’s a bad call that helped your team
oh, so Blandino finally says that Brad Allen is accountable.....wow, must not be an easy one to sweep under the rug.
Probably trying to get his job...
He retired a while ago.
Why did they fake an announcement of "70 is eligible" in the Spanish language version telecast? What the heck is going on here?
Why is there so little discussion about the tripping call error that also altered the end of the game
@@jansy6002 very subjective..cant prove that
@@jansy6002 Such a lame comeback, especially since it was only you that made such a statement that you couldn't prove, acting like it's fact..the "neither can you" made no sense when I wasn't trying to do the same as you.
@@jansy6002 To me it is more simple and fair for there to be the same high level of scrutiny to both terrible mistakes by the reps, as opposed to the media focusing on one based on who won the game. The refs need to take heat for all of their major mistakes, and it needs to be looked at more closely whether gambling has any impact on these bad calls
The clock was not running. Why was Brad Allen rushing? Why did it take soooooo long to throw the flag? Why is there no accountability for the official?
The NFL needs Cowboys seeded higher
Actually, after hearing everything that went on from multiple sources, the Lions should have caught that the wrong player had been called eligible when it was announced to the Cowboys, if they were listening, which they should of to make sure it was the right player.
Exactly 70 was announced on the broadcast.
Um no. Should the cowboys have to tell the refs their player was tripped and not the lion? Neither the Lions or Cowboys are at fault. This game was blown by the refs for both sides of a compelling football game.
@@jansy6002I am not saying the ref didn't blow it, but it is in your best interests to make sure they got it right. Look at the results.
@@dustytrails1 your asking them to run on to field and stop play at that point which is a flag. The play clock is only seconds. Its pretty simple. Cowboys won in a competitive game where the officials made terrible calls for both sides. Cowboys deserved the win, but blaming the Lions/Dan Campbell for apathetic officiating is delusional.
According to Campbell he shows them and drew the play the exact way it was in the playbook which would include decker being the eligible player who’s running the route
I would say the same thing if I were Campbell but doesn’t make it true
How about beating Cowboys fair and square for not trying to cheat the Ref and Cowboys so that Cowboys player know that 68 is eligible in the game.
If NFL is smart they'll change that going forward. When reporting, the only person that can come up to Ref is the one linemen that's reporting.
CHANGE THE RULE! Defenses are smart enough to determine who is and is not eligible based on alignment. That’s all.
Why didn’t the Lions correct the issue when he announced over the PA that 70 was eligible?
Why would a NFL team TRICK the REFS!! Why would any team do that!??
he explained it so that the officials wont get caught off guard and throw a flag guess what they did Jerry has a lot of money and that play showed it
Skip #70 gave the proper hand signals for reporting as eligible so quit blaming the referee.
This is what happens when you try to be deceptive and pull the wool over the other teams eyes by running trick plays that backfire because you are trying to be deceptive. If the Lions practiced this play then the Coach f-ed it up because he does not know the rules or just trying to be deceptive!
There was no miscommunication , head ref blew it, end of story
Lions fans are crybabies. End of story
Refs do suck but both sides got screwed so stop your damn crying
Poor explanation.If 70 was assumed incorrectly as eligible then what did the ref think 68 was standing in front of him for? An invite to go out for dinner after the game?😂
When being slick goes bad. Baaaaaa
I think you are 100 percent right I think they were trying to confuse the Cowboys and the confused the refs instead.
Why did it take close to 30 seconds to throw flag?
It wasn't obvious at the start of the play that 68 was lined up as the tackle, covered up by the end, and then went out and caught a pass. There was nothing wrong until 68 touched the ball (caught the pass) but they had to confirm where he came from first.
Now there’s word Brad Allen didn’t attend a pre game meeting when the questionable play was laid out Somebody is not getting something correct It’ll all be forgotten when Baltimore and San Francisco play in the Superbowl
The problem here is that Brad Allen was not the official in the lions locker room when coaches told the crew about that particular play. He was the official that threw the flag....correct? The problem here is that Taylor Decker had scored 2x with that same play without getting flagged in previous games. Brad Allen wrongly assumed #70 Dan Skipper was reporting when he did not. Brad Allen got it wrong and the Lions paid for it.
If Detroit had run this play twice before, Dallas would know that from viewing the videos of their games. If they were informed that #68 was eligible, Dallas would certainly be looking for that. Whether Dallas would have successfully defended against it or not is unknown. It only feels like the Lions paid for Allen's alleged mistake because we see the result of the play when Dallas thinks #70 is eligible. We don't what would have happened otherwise.

Why was 58 there with the official. If 68 was eligible then 70 wasn't and therefore it was an illegal formation
Dean, how did he see 70? 70 was behind 68 and the ref was already turning away from 68 when 70 came up behind him so how on earth did he see 70? He didn't!
The ref looked right at #70 and even points at him. ;)
The ref made the right call!
HEY, REF #68 REPORTING AS ELIGIBLE ON THE NEXT PLAY!
Chase the ref down get in his face and say load....HEY, REF #68 REPORTING AS ELIGIBLE ON THE NEXT PLAY!.... He didn't do that so the ref threw the flag on him, you have to know the rules of the game and amazingly, most NFL players don't know the rules!
The Cowboys didn't know the rule that the ref had to touch the ball before it was snapped, as a result, time ran out on the clock and they lost the game!
Goff told him to go check in with the ref, he just walked over there but said nothing🤣🤣
How come the spanish edition you hear a ref call number 70 eligible. but its not there in the english version..someone voiced over on the spanish version...someone or some group NFL is lying....
Wait, if it's announced over the PA system, and the Lions hear Brad Allen incorrectly announce 70 as eligible, why wouldn't they approach Allen to correct him before they run the play? And did the refs blowing a tripping call on Schoonmaker have anything with this being a makeup call?
Because Dan didn't want Dallas to know 68 was eligible, so they could throw ball to him, not being covered! Dan thought he could get away with being deceptive. The people upstairs saw the play, and that's why the flag was thrown late! They tried to cheat for the win and hit caught!
@@letskeepitreal2409blandino clear as day said they’ve done everything legal and nothing wrong and your pebble sized brain run off with the word cheating💀💀💀💀
I know what Dan Campbell was thinking. The last time i took the point for overtime we got beat
Campbell told them before the game, the ref screwed up and hasn't got the balls to admit it. He cost us the game the pansy
Not everyone.
#68 did not report. When a player is recognized as being eligible, an announcement is made to the crowd, coaches, and the defense.
This did not happen for #68. He was not declared. He lined up illegally. He was downfield illegally, and he touched the ball illegally. He never would have been that open if he was declared eligible.
End of story.
The Lions *DID* do something wrong. #70 signaled that he was an eligible receiver. #68 walked up to the official but never gave that signal. When the official announced to the Cowboys that #70 was eligible the Lions didn't correct him. Apparently they were hoping that the Cowboys would guard #70 instead of #68 (which happened) and that they wouldn't get flagged (which they were). Some might call that cheating.
how did the lions know what the ref said to the cowboys? they didn't run over and listen to what the ref said.
@@100point1percentthe officials announce on the PA system in the stadium who is coming in as an eligible receiver
The Lions are 100% to blame. They tried to be sneaky and it came back to bite them.
You can't correct the call after the fact. That would be unfair to the defenae to be told 70 was eligible and then 68 catches the ball from the left tackle position! It's unfortunate, yes. As a Cowboys fan, I have a hunch if we were playing the 49ers or Eagles, they would have picked up the flag and let the play stand! Things like this happen against Dallas a lot! But the Lions happen to be a team that gets even worse treatment than the Cowboys historically! Only the Raiders get it worse than both of them!
2014 postseason game from nearly 10 years ago, the refs called a defensive pass-interference penalty on a Matthew Stafford pass intended for Brandon Pettigrew and then infamously picked up the flag. Can't reverse a call?
Sir if both of the coaches heard that over the intercom that 70 was eligible why didn't Campbell make that correction to the refs by getting the refs attention then so the refs could've correct the mistake then come on now do u think that Dallas would have left number 68 wide open I don't think so
@TREEHOU5E What I am saying is if the ref announced 70 as the eligible receiver and failed to announce 68, the Cowboys defense will play accordingly.
I have stated that if Dallas was playing Green Bay, Philly or San Fran, the play would have stood and the Cowboys would lose. Certain teams get better treatment than others. The Lions are one of the few teams that get treated worse than the Cowboys.
@@beverlywade9690 how is he supposed to get the attention of the refs? They had no timeouts, if he did hear it over the speakers, it would have been too late for him to do anything else, maybe tell the sideline ref?
@@tonyc7627 look here man u can miss me with that the lions tried to cheat and got caught that's all
Doesn't the eligible reciever have to be out side of the offensive tackle on the end of the line, to be eligible?
Not necessarily. He has to be the end man on the line. And he was, since the receiver outside of him made sure to line up off the ball, just like he was supposed to do to make the play legal.
The pregame meeting is the clinch element that should stop this from ever happening.
All that does is inform the Officials of a play that might possibly happen maybe perhaps sometime 90 minutes prior to kick-off. It does not guarantee anything. It doesn't say when or if it will even happen. Merely to possibly look for it to maybe possible maybe happening.
And we do not know exactly how Campbell even described it. We don't know if Campbell use specific numbers or only used Positional-Refeences.
Example: If Campbell specifically used the #68 in his pregame description.
What happens if in the 1st Quarter #68 blows his knee out?
People are speculating as to what was actually said during that pregame meeting, but there is no actual record of what was said.
The problem with this is 68 talked to the ref 70 ran on the field and the ref in the video didn't even acknowledge him so why he said 70 reported was i don't know.
Waiting for your breakdown of the tripping call that screwed the Cowboys.
What a horrendous call that was. Should have been 2nd & 3 with Detroit having to use a timeout. Cowboys probably run the ball once or twice for the 1st down and that's game! Phantom tripping call that the media doesn't seem to care about. Here We Go!!!! Cowboys!!
Cowboys hadn't been able to run the ball al game and had been stuffed all game outside of a few runs. Thats why they threw the ball when they shouldn't have. @@davethomson1821
Loins wouldn't have never gotten the ball back if they refs hadn't made a bad call on Dallas.
Dude, there’s a lot of calls in the games…on daks 95 yard bomb, was a clear holding…stop it.
lol, then let's call all the clear holds again Micah Parsons. Stop it. @@jmacomber86
Skip gave the hand signals to the referee nobody else did.
You can't overturn the call because the ref did not inform the defense correctly.
Ref told defence and it was announced so Lions could have stopped and corrected it with the ref. By the way call the fucking correct tripping call series before and it doesn't get to this point.
Dan Campbell has since admitted he heard #70 announced as eligible and did nothing. Wider angle video shows #70 running in with his hand up and appears to touch his jersey as to indicate he is reporting as eligible. The ref got confused and Detroit did not make it clear enough. There are was still time left for Dallas to get into FG range even. Play is over, game is over, Move on.
Bottom line: there were bad calls on both sides. Lions still had an opportunity to win or at least tie and play for OT but they failed to do either. Game over. Move on to week 18.
Except they were wrongly penalized on the play, which pushed them back.
But he did, why else comment on the other times in the game it was #70? You can’t defend the in-defendable
You always know that when Charlie brown is the ref of the game theres gonna be some questionable calls thats the way the nfl wants it he still has a job
Go back and look at each time 70 reported and see how fast the ref runs off. If it’s not the same each time then Allen knew exactly what he was doing and knew he was going to screw them if Detroit used the play.
The Lions didn't have 7 players on the line of scrimmage, only 6 when they snapped the ball on the first 2-point attempt. Why is no one reporting on this illegal formation that the officiating crew missed? If 68 wasn't covered up, then neither was #70. Both of the players lined up outside these guys, are pretty much touching the 4 yard line with their feet, both of them the same distance from the line of scrimmage. Neither of them were lined up within the 3 yard line. The play was illegal formation penalty from the snap.
Damn, I never thought of that. Good observation. 👍
Lions wanted to create confusion
They did. They let ref decided who was eligible. He did. Game over drive safely😊
No more betting from me as far as NFL games
So these guys spend 5 minutes talking about "the play" and then don't even show that 68 lined up as the left tackle with the end covering him up?
Why does no one point out that the Lions did NOT correct the call of who was Eligible before they snapped the ball?
Clearly the Lions fault for complaining after the play.
I think every player should be eligible
Maybe so bu that's not the current rule.
Exactly. Allen made an assumption. Plain and simple. It was a mistake. Lets just move on!
Total setup by Detriot with all video and no audio. Video shows 68 next to Ref, 70 is walking toward Ref, Ref seeing 70 and points at him then walks away to the Dallas defense letting them know 70 is eligible..
Lions were trying to be deceptive from the get go. Ref reported to Dallas D 70 was tackle eligible. The formation was illegal Blandino. Look at the tape.
Well if he said that then the ref then reported 70 should 68 not reported again. I think the Lions were trying to pull a fast one and got caught which cost them the game, sucks to be them. to get it right.
what about the pick up flag the last time they played in the playoff
The ref got it wrong, but the Lions confused the situation by having three players in close proximity. It was intended to fool the Cowboys but it fooled the official. And why was 58 even there.
#58 purposely distracted the ref,by over-talking and blocking #68 from the ref…
As if #58 didn’t want the lions to win..
But having three players in close proximity is not illegal. Furthermore the assumption is that the referee is competent and will do his job correctly. The Lions did nothing wrong. Neither did the Cowboys. But Allen screwed it up in such a manner that that the Lions, not the Cowboys, would suffer negative consequences. In this instance, a five yard penalty.
Bottom line is that the Lions tried to pull a scam and it didn't work.
Yeah...not sure why they didn't just kick the extra point after the initial attempt.
This is totally on the lions.
They intentionally ran 3 players at the ref. Campbell has clarified that. The lions knew that the cowboys had been told that 70 was the eligible receiver. The lions heard, along with everyone in the stadium, the announcement on the overhead speakers that it was #70, not #68. In spite of the fact that the clock was stopped, he made no attempt to correct the situation. The cowboys have the right to know who the eligible lineman is, and campbell knew they would throw to a different player than the cowboys had been told was eligible. That is on the lions. Whoever the ref announces, that is the one that is eligible. Campbell thought he could get away with pulling a fast one over on the cowboys. It backfired and bit him in the butt. He got what he deserved. Karma ruled that instance. It was his shenanigans that confused the ref (if indeed 68 reported and 70 didn’t), it was his responsibility to undo the confusion or get a penalty.
The cowboys have the right to know who the eligible receiver is, and campbell tried to rob them of that right.
Demand the refs audio +MNF audio
Its not that complicated for the ref. 68 reported. 70 was on the far side of the ref. AND nobody on Dallas were upset about the play. They would of been.
Only on the Spanish version of game released 4 hrs later can you hear an announcement. It's not even his voice, and spliced on in at the wrong time!
Got an xtra roll of tinfoil
What the hell is the rush its a 2 point conversion... Just get that part right if you gotta say hold on a second and then after you get it right if you feel like the play clock needs to be adjusted ask the pa announcerif they could pls set the play clock to.......... Come the fuck on so half the blame on officials and the rest is on the inveroment💩
I give you credit dean...I thought for sure you would have sided with your buddies...It’s on Brad Allen...Your an NFL referee...The highest in the profession..No room for this kind of mistake
The ref ran away before 70 even got there
The ref looks directly at #70 and even points at him. ;)
@@marvinmange4805 so he's looking at 70 run on the field and ignored #68 in his face??? Lol
@@teehud313 We have no idea until a Field-Mic Audio turns up, if it ever does. We do not know what actually transpired between the Ref and #68. I wish we did. All we can do is speculate. :)
Lions fans are not complaining about the tripping miscall. The Cowboys didn't get two more chances after the miscall.
You are in effect saying make up calls should be allowed because they even the score to maintain a level playing field and blah blah blah...... ?
its not the job of the ref not to get confused.. Brad Allen is not a pro ref if he cant sort out the crucial situation with game on the line like that..
When the ref announced 70 Goff knows he cant throw to 68. Why not turn to ref and figure it out. Worst case senerio is you get a delay of game and kick the field goal. Its not fair for Dallas because they covered 70 as they should.
Then wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume they didn’t actually hear who the ref announced as eligible? Because why would he throw to a play that he knows is ineligible
@@jc43261jc I agree why? But either way Dallas would have covered 68 if the ref had told them 68 instead of 70. So the issue is with Detroit and the refs so it was the right call
@@mikelasalvia9548 the play was specifically designed to get 68 open by confusing the defense with 70 coming in despite 68 being declared eligible, and 8 was used on a pick block on two defenders. You can’t simply say that Dallas would have covered and prevented the play from happening because the ref simply messed up his job and made it unfair for both teams. Detroit had no timeouts and was unable to correct the refs as they didn’t notice until after the play, so the correct and appropriate thing to do is to just replay the down, not a penalty
Any other time a call is made to correct or approve of a TD....WHY NOT THIS ONE..
UNLESS ITS WHATS THE RIGGED NFL WANTED
Saying three guys going out is unusual makes the ref more of a dummy. Or crook
This is all after Campbell explained it all before the game.
What's this crap about officials being caught off guard? They're supposedly the best of the best, they've seen it all, and this happened? The whole thing was a cluster, but I think the refs gotta eat this one.
