lerxt1990 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 That was a less questionable call then the roughing the kicker on the Cowboys. Especially when the exact same thing happened to the Cowboys kicker and there was no call. In every game both teams can usually find calls that were questionable. Bottom line is Detroit had the game in hand and let it slip away. They had a chance at the end and fumbled the ball away....TWICE!First of all, it was running into the punter called on Dallas, there were less than five yards to go which is why it was a first down. And the play where the Lion touched the Cowboys punter...he tried to hold him up. That one wasn't even close. The call against Hutchings where they picked up the flag is called DPI 9,999,999 Times out of 10 million.Detroit had several opportunities to win that game. Because you hate the Cowboys, you are going to whine about that one call and make the victory seem like luck. We were lucky to win that game but not solely because of that call. We came out extremely flat and got better as the game went on. Thats true, a 10 yard punt and weak defense at the end helped the Lions lose. But focusing on that rediculous penalty is more fun to talk about.It was actually kind of a stupid play call on 3rd and 1, not throwing downfield. And I know it sounds like 20/20 hindsight, but they really should have gone for it on 4th. I'm obviously not a Belichick fan, but he seems to be the only coach that REALLY understands win probabilities and what moves the needle. I don't mind the call, but you better be prepared to go for it on 4th.It's a call you ONLY make if you're going to go for it on 4th. But at that time of the game? You run or throw short and keep the clock going, that's your enemy. Yes. i couldnt figure out why they did what they did the way they did it...

laughedatbytime Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The refs in this game were biased in favor of DETROIT. Not Dallas. Dallas won in SPITE of the NFL's best attempts to slant the playing field. The PI flag was picked up with good reason... Pettigrew was making as much contact with Hitchens as vice versa... you want to know why Hitchens didn't make a play on the ball? It was because Pettigrew was pulling his helmet away from it. His hands were up as he was being pulled by Pettigrew for that reason exactly. If they'd thrown the flag for Offensive PI, I think it might have been warranted. No. Thats defensive pass interference, and a penalty/personal foul by Bryant coming on the field without a helmet. Not even close. Your looking at that like a typical Dallas fan. After the dream ends next week it wont matter anyway, the chief choke artist will be back in full force. I love how everyone is coronating Dallas after that weak win. I thought a defensive holding call was clearly missed, and an offensive face masking penalty was very probably missed, and that a defensive pass interference call was slightly more likely than not to have occurred. Also, Bryant obviously broke the rules, but I think the refs were so confused by themselves at that point that they weren't thinking about it. Really, the overturning of the defensive pass interference call wasn't even close to the worst non-call on that play.According to the NFL Head of Officials Dean Blandino the proper call would have been defensive holding. NFL head of officials Dean Blandino said Monday that the non-call on pass interference against Detroit Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew by Dallas Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens was debatable, but holding definitely should have been called on the play. Blandino, speaking on NBC Sports Radio's "Pro Football Talk Live," said the officiating crew erred by announcing a penalty and then picking up the flag. Ideally, he said, the crew would have discussed the play and then announced that there was no penalty on the play. If the crew had handled the situation in this manner, "it would have mitigated some of the response to this," he said. http://espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/story/_/id/12124549/dean-blandino-holding-call-missed-vs-dallas-cowboys-lb-anthony-hitchens?ex_cid=sportscenterFB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a game where the Fins were playing the Pats (I think it was the first game of the 1994 season) and there was a 4th and 1 situation late in the game. Marino through deep for a touchdown. When asked about it, he said if the defense was going to give him man to man, he'd take his chances on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Why even bother? Everyone already knows, and Cowboy fans will just explain it away... The NFL admitted to the Detroit Lions on Tuesday that officials missed a blatant hold on Ndamukong Suh on a crucial fourth-down conversion from Tony Romo to Jason Witten with six minutes left in Sunday's wild-card game. The conversion happened after the disputed Brandon Pettigrew play and before the Cowboys' go-ahead touchdown. Had holding been called, it would have put the Cowboys in a fourth-and-16 hole on Detroit's side of the field. Dallas likely would have punted and Detroit still would have had the lead. NFL head of officials Dean Blandino said Monday that the non-call on pass interference against Pettigrew by Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens was debatable, but holding definitely should have been called on the later play. Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford wore a microphone for Sunday's game, and the audio will air Tuesday night on "Inside the NFL" on Showtime. "Can we explain that or no?" Stafford reportedly said after the officials picked up the penalty flag on the Pettigrew incompletion. "Just flat-out overturning a pass interference call?" Stafford later could be heard yelling, "Hooome cookin!" http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2014/story/_/id/12129092/nfl-tells-detroit-lions-officials-missed-holding-dallas-cowboys-fourth-conversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Why even bother? Everyone already knows, and Cowboy fans will just explain it away... The NFL admitted to the Detroit Lions on Tuesday that officials missed a blatant hold on Ndamukong Suh on a crucial fourth-down conversion from Tony Romo to Jason Witten with six minutes left in Sunday's wild-card game. The conversion happened after the disputed Brandon Pettigrew play and before the Cowboys' go-ahead touchdown. Had holding been called, it would have put the Cowboys in a fourth-and-16 hole on Detroit's side of the field. Dallas likely would have punted and Detroit still would have had the lead. NFL head of officials Dean Blandino said Monday that the non-call on pass interference against Pettigrew by Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens was debatable, but holding definitely should have been called on the later play. Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford wore a microphone for Sunday's game, and the audio will air Tuesday night on "Inside the NFL" on Showtime. "Can we explain that or no?" Stafford reportedly said after the officials picked up the penalty flag on the Pettigrew incompletion. "Just flat-out overturning a pass interference call?"

I can just hear him say, "There was no foul on the play, Hitchens was just trying to keep the receiver warm." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
