ESPN!!!

Why is it everytime we get screwed by a missed call or a bad call and lose the game they never mention it. But the missed facemask by Levy at the end of the game gets mentioned. Seriously bias much.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Doesn't matter. No one will care a week from now.

 

[motown1958]

I know but it just pisses me off. How does nate get called for three P I calls only 1 legit and no one says a word. its been like this all year wack shit.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I'm just happy we won. I went from kicking the TV in to running through the house screaming.

Ford Field was going crazy at the end. What a finish

FUCK Jared Allen.

 

[michiganmania]

Pretty sure ESPN talked about the missed calls on the Ginn return as well as the bad spot that gave them a much better chance to win that game...

 

[lions2011]

FUCK Jared Allen.

He had 3 1/2 sacks and a couple of sweet hits on Staff.

 

[michiganmania]

Anyway, missed calls happen and do not get talked about for a lot of teams...It really just depends on the circumstance....Nah, F* this! ESPN want to hold Detroit down as a bottom feeding team. Detroit spent so many years in the cellar that it is unthinkable that they could do anything good and there must be some reason that they win games...Gotta be missed calls!

Allen is a beast. I wish he played for Gb. Him and Matthews would be sick.

 

[jde7676]

Not going to lie I'd be upset if that happened to us, that said at least the fumble came before the facemask. It'd be one thing if he slung him around and threw the ball out of his hands. He hit the ball first and it came loose, the hand followed through to the face.

 

[coel73]

Yep, he's damn good, and he hates the Lions with a passion.............

Fuck him

 

[Mitchrapp]

Good thing about the sacks, outside the one Staff got squished, was that he saw them coming and didn't take huge hits. He basicslly just went down into a fetal position. Which is fine by me.

 

[tomdalton22]

I remember them talking about the CJ "non catch" vs. the bears for days.....even weeks afterwards on ESPN radio.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Because that was unusual. I still think it was a made up rule last minute, lol.

 

[themadbomber]

Still not sure it would have even mattered if it had been called. It was clearly after the fumble.

Wouldn't the ruling have been similar to the unnecessary roughness call on Tulloch that put Ponder on the bench for the rest of the game?

"After the fumble, personal foul face mask #54 of the defense. The penalty will be enforced 15 yards from the spot of the recovery."

Game over.

Easily could have been ruled that way.

It wasn't like the facemask was the reason Webb fumbled. Ball was clearly out prior to that...

But it was before the recovery. It would be same as if a ball was fumbled and then went out of bounds...if no one recovered it before the penalty, it would stay with the Vikings.

 

[themadbomber]

Not really sure how they blew that call, but we'll take it.

especially when it's one guys job to just watch the QB....oh well.

fuck Joe Webb.
