GAME DAY SaNF - Lions at Cowboys Game Thread

[hotanez]

Why leave out the defense that was shit for a lot of the day?

well considering the Cowgirls average 40 pts it's a game at home I felt they played above their heads, just my opinion

 

[jrry32]

They could have won but didn't, just a total shit the bed by the coach, QB and a stupid player that didn't report. All the mistakes contributed to a loss, now Detroit will probably rest player against the Vikings. Horrible outcome no matter who we want to blame

He reported, dude. Goff sent him to the ref. And he is on video talking to the ref.

[RamsSince1969]

Campbell's ballsy calls makes his team must watch TV. They were in that game due to it. They are more dangerous due to it.

 

[jrry32]

Wouldn’t have mattered. The WR on his left lined up on the line making him ineligible (as the covered up inside receiver) if he went downfield, which Decker did.

The right side of the line was perfect on the play. The TE stayed on the line and blocked, which makes him ineligible. The WR to his right covered him, and was eligible as a receiver.

Wrong. The WR did not line up on the LOS and signaled to the ref both as he walked to his position and once he lined up that he was lining up off the LOS.

Apparently the player did report but there was 2, Skipper #70 and Decker #68, that approached the refs to distract and confuse Dallas, but only #68 reported. That's why Campbell was pissed.

Refs said he didn't, what you want from me?

OK so Campbell confirmed it, case closed

 

[jrry32]

Looks like an ego got in the way.

First try sure.

Second should have been the push for extra innings.

NFL wants the Rams in SB so we got that going for us.

There was no reason for them to go to OT. It risks injury. They don't lose playoff position by losing this game, and if they won, they'd have a shot at the #1 seed. There was no real downside to Campbell going for the win.

Sorry didn't finish editing my response but just passing info haha

EIIIII E
E QB E
RB

This is a typical eligible 13 personnel formation. Note the five interior (I) players (typically linemen) are ineligible to move downfield (NFL gives a 2 yard neutral zone grace I believe). The ends of the E-I sandwich, are eligible to go downfield to receive a forward pass.

Here’s what I saw on the play:
E EIIIIIE

QB

Because the WR on the left was on the line, it made the receiver next to him (Decker) ineligible to go downfield because he was covered up. This is regardless if Decker reports. That is likely what an official or onsite review called into the referee.

That is incorrect. The WR was not lined up on the LOS. Here are multiple pictures of him signaling that he was lining up off the ball:

Here's a video that shows him off the ball:

Damn, they got screwed. Should have taken the hint and kicked the XP.

Who you going to trust, the refs or your lying eyes?

 

[hotanez]

so any chance Detroit plays for the win vs the Vikings? maybe the chance to keep a hated rival out of the playoffs?

 

[jrry32]

Damn, they got screwed. Should have taken the hint and kicked the XP.

Again, OT does nothing for Detroit but risky injury to their players. This loss doesn't affect their playoff seeding. A win would have at best given them an outside shot at the #1 seed. Might as well go for the win there.

Yeah he signaled, but he’s still lined up right on top of Decker. A player can signal all they want, doesn’t put them in the right. Didn’t Toney throw a blind thumbs up to the official? Didn’t put him in the right either. Weird how that works.

Btw...I will never, ever let 2020 go. A #1 D. Great WRs. Great coach. Line with HoF LT. Decent running game. All pissed away against the worst team that year.

Well, go ahead and let it eat at you. If it still affects you that negatively , especially after what has transpired since, it only hurts you, not Goff and not anyone else.

 

[hotanez]

can't trust my eyes because I wasn't watching him talk to a ref, only saw the play then noticed the flags. I was hoping it was offsides on Dallas but unfortunately it wasn't

Still think it was dumb. We'll just agree to disagree on this one.

 

[thirteen28]

Because refs would never deny that they fucked up a call.

I posted the video in this thread showing Goff telling Decker to report and Decker going over to the ref and talking to him (i.e., reporting). Apparently, the ref got confused and reported the wrong guy as eligible. Absolutely embarrassing ineptitude.
