Chris Houston out?

Pretty sure Schwartz threw the flag before Forsett was in the end zone. It's all on Schwartz.

He gets 10% of the blame. But it's a domino effect started by the refs missing a call and how slow the refs were to review, and how stupid the rule is that penalizes Schwartz for not even doing something obscene. He threw a challenge flag out of frustration. Throwing a challenge flag is instinctive.

Then answer the SIMPLE questions.

Even given the fact that CLEARLY the refs blew the call.....and CLEARLY it's a stupid rule.....what happens if Schwartz keeps his cool and DOESN'T throw the flag?

No, the ref made him mad. It's ok to do stupid things when you're upset......it's instinctive!!

Refs still call touchdown Texans due to inconclusive evidence somehow. They messed up a punt that hit a Texan player earlier in the game. Clearly they were incompetent.

It was instinctive because every other year you could challenge scores. That makes it instinctive. And the rule was changed because the Lions got screwed with Titus Young in Week 17, but somehow it came right back around and hurt the Lions again.

Plus I've seen 2 other coaches do the same thing. Good coaches. Nobody knows the stupid rules in the heat of the moment. The only thing Schwartz did wrong was mock a coach and the refs a year before. He was 100% wrong in mocking them. But undefeated at the time you might be a little cocky. Lots of coaches are cocky too.

I'm out.

This guy is dumber than Kim Kardashian if she were to lose half her brain.

Sorry bud it's mainly the refs fault due to slowness and blindness. And NFL rules comittee throwing that caveat in there.

No. You're wrong. You just aren't smart enough to realize it.

didn't mccarthy throw a red flag in anger like weeks after the thanksgiving incident..but it was picked up by a packer player so therefore they didn't penalize them correctly?

A play in the pivotal Minnesota Vikings-Green Bay Packers game will end with football fans more confused about the NFL's rules on coach challenges than they were before.

James Jones dove for the end zone. Just after he broke the plane of the end zone, Jones fumbled the ball. The Vikings recovered. The officials originally called it a fumble and Vikings ball.

Aaron Rodgers was incensed with this result, running to the sideline yelling. Packers coach Mike McCarthy threw the challenge flag, but receiver Jordy Nelson quickly ran over and picked the flag up and handed it back to his coach. Earlier this season, Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz and Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith both threw challenge flags on automatically reviewed plays -- the result of which was that the plays were not reviewed and penalties were assessed.

[Also: Chuck Pagano's perseverance inspires Colts to continue defying odds]

But official Mike Carey went forward with the review. When he came back to the field to announce the result of the review, Carey explained that the booth had already initiated the review before McCarthy threw the red flag. Though the Packers were penalized 15 yards on the next play, the fumble was overturned and the Packers were given the touchdown.

it was ruled that they had already signaled for thr review prior to him throwing the flag or something. aka "lions suck and we suck on GBs nuts" says the NFL
