went to bed at 20-0
saw the facemask call this morning, so awful. missed calls are bad but i think everyone accepts they are part of the game. phantom calls otoh are unacceptable, such a feel-bad. whoever called that penalty couldn't have seen actual penalty contact because it wasn't there, so what was the sign or shortcut or heuristic that made that official confident in the probability that whatever he saw was actually a penalty? because whatever that is is what they have to stop doing!

I agree that the call was dumb but the NFL has been pretty consistent about flagging defenders who grab the QB's head, just saying. He got a finger in there and twisted the neck. It's like 100% incidental but still, that's the rule. Just like the offside on Peppers which otherwise would've swung the game.
In one sense yeah, the Lions SHOULD be in the playoff hunt, given that both their dodgy losses came vs. the two current wild card teams, between that, the PI flag getting picked up in the playoffs and the Jim Schwartz illegal challenge play the Lions have certainly lost in some fucked up ways, HOWEVER I think any Browns fan would trade franchises with them in a second

lol dude
― Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 4 December 2015 14:50 (eight years ago) link
"grab the QB's head""twisted the neck"
at most his finger brushed the facemask and in fact you can't even tell 100% from pics or video that there was contact with the facemask at all, his finger could just be right by it. all the movement was caused by the contact with the shoulder pad.
― Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 4 December 2015 14:52 (eight years ago) link
I agree with you - but the league calls that ALL THE TIME on QBs. Since we have no replay/challenge system to pick up flags (unless you're Detroit I guess?) thats just the way it goes, ref sees part of the hand go in the face mask and the neck twist, he throws the flag. On replay you can see it's clearly just incidental and it looked worse than it was, but for some reason the NFL lets big game-changing penalties like that just stand. I mean full disclosure I am a huge Packer fan and everyone here knows we 100% got away with one, I don't wanna imply that we deserved this game at all!!

NFL football accounts for just a handful of programming hours each week, but accounts for 22% of total average viewership of the three networks this fall, according to CNNMoney’s analysis of Nielsen ratings data.

Without football, viewership at CBS -- which has a Sunday afternoon package of games and had Thursday Night Football this fall -- would have fallen 15%.

people were really complaining about that face mask call on rodgers when the replay showed rodgers being hit in the face by the defenders' fingers, huh? football fans, i guess

the rams ran a really cool fake-fake punt today. unfortunately because they're the rams it turned into a touchback
― k3vin k., Sunday, 6 December 2015 20:47 (eight years ago) link
even if it was clear that rodgers was hit in the face by the defenders fingers, which it isn't, that's not a penalty. i guess if you were a football fan you might know that. why are you here anyway?

it's just such a silly thing to complain about. the guy clearly hit rodgers in the face, rodgers head jerked, the refs don't have the benefit of the replay. it's a reasonable if possibly technically incorrect call
there have been plenty of controversial calls this year that were much more egregious

steelersvs denver@ bmore@ cleveland
p sure chiefs get in and maybe win out which is amazing considering (they also have the tie breakers, h2h vs pitt and best conf record). think jets prob miss out but if the rivalry can motivate those afc north teams in those pburgh division road games that would be the difference

Some of the talking heads really talking up KC's D. Don't think it matters as Andy Reid will screw it up in a close game late even if they get a shot.
I'm interested to see what AJ McCarron does with this shot with the Bengals. Dude won some huge games in college and he just got handed the keys to a pretty tricked out offense even with Eifert potentially out for a bit. If it goes well, it will end up being a big story.
