They still do that, Referee Brad Allen called out #70 as eligible not Decker #68. That was done and why I don't understand why it is being debated.

Because he's the one who fucked up. Not decker, not #70, and not the lions. He did. He put them in a no win situation because he wasn't paying attention and instead of owning up to it...he lied about it. I don't see how this is even debatable. The ref fucked up and lied.

Man I am seriously fighting these conspiracy theories about the NFL and controlling the game.

This does not help.

Jimmy Jones night is Mrs Swadudes thought and now I can not disagree.

Along I think the NFL wants a Rams/Ravens Super Bowl.

Which I can not disagree.

The replays are pretty damning.

How in the hell does 70 declare clearly with the ref walking away and not looking at him.

Damn egregious.

I think based on the bullshit, it’s gonna be a Ravens Cowboys Super Bowl with the Ravens winning.

I thought it’d be Ravens SF, but the refs have been trying to bolster the Cowboys this year countless times and more than usual late

Also there is video and audio of Decker reporting

Moreover, Dan Campbell actually talked to the refs BEFORE the game, walked them through the play including who the eligible player would be to ensure it was legit.

So Campbell and the Lions get the play “pre-approved”, do it correctly during the game and STILL get fucked.

Why does it matter for us?

Because when we beat the 9ers, the Lions would have the 1seed and the 9ers wouldn’t have the bye week.

But because it’s the NFL, fuckups stand and the refs are untouchable, this “the NFL guides narratives” thing will only gather momentum

Before the play, the ref told the defense that #70 was an eligible receiver. Would the Cowboys have guarded #68 if they knew he was eligible? Hard to know.
 
I have a simple low tech solution that takes the ref out of it. Have any player who's normally not eligible have to don a red vest like the crossing guards use to indicate they are eligible on a given play. Simple. No new rule needed. No vest, no eligible status buddy.

Yeah--remember even our game in Dallas unraveled early after a couple referee specials.

That first drive was horrendous. Two or three appalling calls to keep the drive going. Then they scored so easily. After the pick 6 I turned the game off. We all knew where it was going.

Apparently they don’t do it on extra point attempts, that what the talking heads were saying yesterday. I believe the ref walks over to the defense and tells them which player is declared eligible, but I guess the offense didn’t hear that.

The problem is that without any Timeouts, the Lions could not correct him.

What he should have done is acknowledge his fuck up and called it a dead play and replayed the down.

I mean the fuckup happened (presuming it wasn’t on purpose), so that was the answer, but instead, he refused to admit his error and screwed the Lions
