Also, there was a huge delay of game no call on the play before the kick, the Ravens got a huge gift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I don't care how bad that Lions loss was. It's not as bad as getting sacked NINE. TIMES. /rooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Btw - tell me if you sense a theme Lions honored Calvin Johnson at halftime Giants honored Eli Manning at halftime Both teams are 0-3 and lost on last second FGs Both team's owners were booed at halftime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogwelder Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 As mediocre as Heinicke was today, I'm much more concerned about how bad WFT's defense looks. They're getting almost no pressure on the opposing QB and in some cases the linebackers look even worse than last year's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubbymark Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 For those of you that missed it, Example 36,548 of ways Detroit loses football games. And I thought the Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary was bad. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 The Lions were on the wrong end of Tom Dempsey's 63 yarder way back in the day too. so "New NFL Record for Longest Field Goal" isn't even a new way for the Lions to lose.

NikoBaltimore Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I was playing football with my nephews but just saw the replay. The Ravens sucked today but Tucker further cemented his case for the Hall of Fame. Holy shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I am assuming the entire clip will end up online but apparently Gene Seratore was all "so the refs gave Baltimore a little extra time.

Big Deal!" and the entire CBS crew but especially Boomer lost their minds there has been a consistent pattern going back years and years of the refs being deliberately slow to call delay of game, almost as if by internal directive to give teams an extra grace second. I've been Cranky Old Man On The Couch about it for most of that time. I've never seen this much slack, though. This was ridiculous and the entirely forseeable result of the above policy standing so long. and of course once again it's the Lions. Now that the Raiders have finally behaved a good little corporate citizen and abandoned Oakland, the Lions are the undisputed champion of Being Hated By The League  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The all-time worst was that game against Green Bay where they called the Lions player that got facemasked for the penalty, and Rodgers then hit the hail Mary to win the game.

dogwelder Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Referee Scott Novak explains the delay-of-game mechanics that applied in Ravens-Lions Quote After the game, referee Scott Novak explained the failure to call a delay-of-game foul to pool reporter Justin Rogers. “As far as our mechanics, the back judge is looking at the play clock and if it were to hit zero, he sees the zero, and he then looks to see if the ball is being snapped,” Novak said. “If the ball is being snapped, we will let the play go. If it’s not moving, it’s delay of game. Those are the mechanics that we apply on that play.” Those mechanics build in a second or two — or, as the case may be, 1.6 seconds — after the clock strikes zero.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
