Hindsight being 20/20, the right call is either a no-call or offsetting fouls - but calling just DPI and being OK with it?

Pretty hypocritical.

You're really trying to compare simply making (or not making) a judgement call to throwing a flag, announcing it, and then just overturning the call? Really?

How bout this?
The teams get ranked by their television market size, 32 (biggest) to 1 (smallest). In the playoffs, that team gets spotted that many points to start the game. For example, If NY Giants play Chicago in the playoffs, NY is the #1 TV market, Chicago is #3, that's a two point difference, so when the game starts, Giants are up 2 to 0. That's just as fair as what we saw today.

Regardless of that penalty fiasco, Detroit played like a bunch of pussies to end the game. Doesn't excuse the horrible refereeing but goddamn, Caldwell, sack up.

I hate the argument "They still had their chances".

In a game of inches, when you get ****ed it's nearly impossible to overcome it.

That isn't a penalty.

Apparently you're too blinded by tears to read what I've posted several times.

Both Pettigrew and the LB were guilty of fouls. Both were handfighting and Pettigrew grabbed facemask.

The right call is either to call both, or call neither.

I remember, that was right before half.

The Chiefs win the game if the correct call is made, so I disagree.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 01-04-2015, 07:51 PM

It's not even really about it being PI (to me, it was), but the procedure by which the penalty was nullified.

Imagine if Williams' TD catch was closer to the OOB marker. Refs call it a TD on the field, Bailey hits the PAT, then Caldwell challenges as the Cowboys are readying for the kickoff. At that point, the crew looks at it and overturns the call.

It's the procedure that's the hangup.

O.city · 01-04-2015, 07:51 PM

That's never called on the offense. The hand fighting that is

But lets focus on 10 seconds of action and ignore the other 29:50.

I'm not ignoring anything that 29:50 was totally on the Lions shoulders the 10 seconds was out of their control.I'd much rather have seen a no call than that bullshit that got shoved down our throats.

I think its just the timing of them waving the call off. It was strange after they went over the speaker and announced then, changed it.

If they leave it as called, then it's the wrong call as well, because they've missed the contact and facemask on Detroit. But y'all seem fine with that...

Ummmm what about the blatant jersey pull on Petigrew before ANY contact from either side?

So no it should've been Defensive Holding at the very least...

What about Bryant running onto the field with no helmet to argue the call???

No matter what was called it should've been a dead ball 15 yard penalty...

Chiefnj2 · 01-04-2015, 07:59 PM

It was holding for the jersey pull.
It was PI for contact and not turning; and
It should have been an additional 15 for Dez.
