Yep, in hindsight that would have been the thing to do. But that call, at that point in the game, with the game on the line? The refs should have done better. It makes them look really bad. A replay would have shown #68 trying to report. It was the refs mistake, and it cost them the game. A game shouldn’t be decided by the refs.I felt really bad for the Lions last night. Number 68 was certainly TRYING to declare his eligibility to the ref, but the ref wasn't paying any attention to him. Although after that unfortunate penalty, I'd have probably kicked the extra point to tie it.
I've been drinking wine some since I've been banned from beer. More often bourbon & water though.It's official, the NFL has passed me by.
We have the MIA/BAL game on the TV. I heard a commercial, don't remember who for, but it ended by saying 'the official wine of the NFL'.

I have to admit I don't remember that play. But yeah, there are bad calls in every game...As much as I dislike the Cowboys, I have to point out that the refs incorrectly called tripping on the Cowboys instead of the Lions' Hutchinson. Without that call, Dallas likely could have run out the clock.
I don't even own a sweater. Ewwww!!I like me some wine, but while watching football? No thank you.
Are y'all wrapping a sweater around your shoulders and wearing penny loafers too?

Well. I have my answer. The only two over .500 teams we've played have both been embarrassing losses.This Sunday I'll decide if there's hope for my Dolphins in the post season. A win or even really close game OK. A bad loss and it's time to figure out what to fix for next year. Hint (defense)!

Seattle had a great defense, no doubt. And I didn't see many of their games. That said, Russ was top 8 in QBR in 2013 and #6 in 2014, while also rushing for a combined 1400 yards those two years. It's almost impossible to win an SB without both a very good defense and offense.
Well, 2 out of 3 (Cowboys), but yes, I agree.Well. I have my answer. The only two over .500 teams we've played have both been embarrassing losses.
In the off season the staff needs to come up with a secondary that can cover somebody...........anybody.
As a Falcons fan I’m ok with that.As a pats fan, I feel like I was teleported back to the 90s with how this season has been.
I saw the last few minutes of the first half. The Seahawk defense is doing their best to give it to them.The Steelers can clinch Tomlin's 198th non-losing season with a win over the Seahawks.
