Valeriano Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 flag pickup may have been bullshit, but the flag itself was bullshit I think it was a legit, textbook pass interference. However, if we are going to look back on that play, there were plenty of bad calls against Dallas as well. Refs cost Detroit that game. and i really didn't care who won. I wouldn't say the refs cost them the game considering their defense had an opportunity to stop Dallas's offense as well as having an opportunity to score and win the game at the end. The refs did cost them their advantage at the time though. Either way, there were a lot more bad calls against Dallas in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Friendly Rap God Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 flag pickup may have been bullshit, but the flag itself was bullshit He wasn't looking at the ball while making a play on the receiver. That's textbook pass interference GalacticMelt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirrichardrichard Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 That's a different conversation. It's still pass interference. I don't get the logic of picking up a flag....if it's called...it's called. Tommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the logic of picking up a flag....if it's called...it's called. Being that this group of refs had never worked together before today. I believe it was distrust between refs. They were trying to get the call right, I doubt any other official backed the call so the ref picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalacticMelt Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 what about the receivers hands to the facemask leading up to it? The receiver was held beyond the 5 yard "buffer". That's a penalty. His jersey was tugged on when he attempted to turn around. That's a penalty too. Then the defender was face guarding. That's also a penalty. Yet somehow the refs picked up the flag. But the NFL got what they wanted, a Dallas / GB matchup for ratings, so all is well. I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Not even sure what to say about that. It's one thing to miss a call. Crazy to actually announce the penalty and have the teams move downfield, then overturn it. Never seen that before. They missed an automatic unsportsmanlike on Dez Bryant as well for running 15 yards onto the field and getting in the officials face. Lions needed to just score one more TD and put it in a position where the refs couldn't decide the game, though. GalacticMelt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 They should seriously investigate those officials. It was probably just bad calls. That was atrocious enough to at least warrant an investigation. Donaghy showed that it's not impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family Friendly Rap God Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 what about the receivers hands to the facemask leading up to it? That's wrong as well but the officials should call what they see. They couldn't see the face mask. The PI was clear as day from any angle. He (the defender) made no play on the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 the way i saw it was that he had his facemask.. how do you expect him to turn around when his head is being pulled forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valeriano Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 the way i saw it was that he had his facemask.. how do you expect him to turn around when his head is being pulled forward? The receiver never grabbed Hitchens' facemask. There was a bit of a push off from the receiver and push from Hitchens with one hand, but the penalty would be due to Hitchens never getting his head around. Again, there were a lot of bad calls in this game. The entire first half Dallas was getting the shaft on calls. In the words of Suh "It's unfortunate for sure and you can't just let one play define the game. I think you'd be doing a discredit to the whole game."
