NFL 2016 NFL - Week 16 (Merry Xmas)

[Hollow Knight]

Basically flawless performance by our D in the second half. Incredible since they were utter dogshit in the first.

He just hit Stafford in the helmet.....another call Dallas' way this is ridiculous

Cost Detroit the game.

Nah,Lions fan,but can't agree.

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

Cost Detroit the game.

No, it didn't but that doesn't make it right.

Can't wait for the crying when the calls start to be made fairly in games you are playing.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Nah,Lions fan,but can't agree.

He seems to be singlemindedly focussed on the officiating of Dallas.

Yawn.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Nah,Lions fan,but can't agree.

Well then you don't know the rules, because unless the QB is a runner you can't touch their helmet, and he just did

 

[Hollow Knight]

Ugh, really hope Tyron is gonna be okay.

Give him two weeks off.

 

[Kadog]

s**t the bed yet again. We will always be at the kids table. SOL.

GB will embarrass us next Sunday night.

Gutted.

I thought he might have hit the helmet the first time,but the third reply showed no contact. Might have had the gentlest touch on the grill,but barely if at all.
Don't need to know the rules,just need eye balls. Didn't see Stafford arguing the case either.

 

[Hollow Knight]

University of Regina, Canada. Such a storied football college that.

Rule is any touch doesn't matter how severe

Credit to Dak. Kids a baller.

Not giving up on next week. Home game where we are WAY better and hopefully Slay and Riddick back. Hoping Giants beat Redskins though.

What is going through someone's head when they choose to be a Lions fan

 

[Spirit Level]

Helmet to helmet, not called.

Just like Bryant's facemask on the td catch.

What a surprise...

Yet lions get a bullshit call against them earlier in the half for what was nothing more than a tackle.

So tired of seeing Dallas get this home town officiating s**t week after week.

Lions are putrid, and 'Boys deserve to win - but at some point they are going to get a game where the calls fall fair and square. Not sure they can adjust...

I seem to remember this happening in an important playoff game, but I've done my best to erase it from my memory

 

[Milk Steak]

There was nothing there. I wouldn't call for that roles were reversed.

 

[Milk Steak]

What is going through someone's head when they choose to be a Lions fan

Not sure

 

[Hollow Knight]

Yes but have some perspective. The rule is there to stop blatant professional coat hangers and headshots on the quarterback.

So you're banging on again and again about some grand officiating conspiracy based on a technical missed case of incredibly incidental contact.

Not to mention a conspiracy for a team that is 21 points up with a couple of minutes on the clock.

You'll have to forgive people for suspecting you have let emotion take the wheel rather than reason.

At least im not a browns fan?
Its all up hill from here [if they became fans in the late 2000's]

Who are the Bills of the NFC?

The Vikings

My point exactly....

No just because he disagreed with it even though it 100% should've been called. How many free yards did Dallas get from refs in this game??? Can't wait for the reverse in playoffs when it costs them the game

Cant accuse them of being a bandwagoner
