I've never believed the NFL was rigged...

Does no one else honestly see Pettigrew pushing off of the defender's face, multiple times? The angle behind Pettigrew's shoulder shows it perfectly, so it's not like it was one-sided PI.

That said, I think the better course would have been dual fouls and a replayed down. And Suh getting to play was utter BS.

Also, if this was the league's doing why reverse Suh's suspension when they had every right to uphold it (and most people agree that he should have been suspended)?

 

You're completely misinformed.

 

The league, the owners and the NFLPA agreed upon, as part of the CBA, a statute of limitations for on-field transgressions. The CBA clearly states that if a player does not commit any "suspendable" offenses on the field for a period of 32 games, then any subsequent offense or penalty cannot carry with it that player's history. It's just like his first offense, and one cannot be suspended for the first offense of this type.

 

In other words, Suh had completed his 32 game probation when he stepped on Rodgers. The NFL, by its own rule, could not suspend Suh. After that 32 game period, Suh's history of past transgressions cannot even be brought into the discussion.

 

Don't get mad at the player, get mad at the league, the owners and the NFLPA, because they all agreed on the rule.

The thing is not just it being picked up, the penalty was confirmed on the pa system. Then they pick it up really quick and don't say a thing.  Some fishy sh*t.  

3 penalties on Dallas on that one play, none called.  That being said, the Lions then let them run 60 yds in the other direction for a score.

It was a shitty call, but was it all that different from the kuechly/gronk play from MNF last year? And I cant feel too sorry for the lions, the league didnt make Jim Caldwell pull a ron rivera circa week 4 2013 move by not going for it on 4th and 1 near midfield and watching his punter only kick the ball 10 yards.

they explained that the flag in that play was picked up, by rule, because the pass was intercepted.

they picked this one up with zero explanation.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By GOAT · Posted

      If you're going to try and hold me saying he looks like crap in during his rookie year against me vs me trying to stay positive in the present and say that the hourly posting shitting on him is annoying and confusing because who the hell spends that much time on something they don't enjoy, I can't really help you. you're exaggerating and holding onto the past like a female. you just said in another thread that his excellent games vs the Rams has you feeling guilty for feeling any positivity. that is some true loser stuff right there, definitely not someone that is a fan of something. keep trying.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      generally speaking, going by the original NFL international marketing rights announcement... we would expect to host a Germany home game once every four years.  Doesn't mean we would play internationally only then, just the guarantee home game situation things might have changed since then, if they figure out how to play at more stadiums during a season to expand the number of "home" teams available

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      Munich won't happen. It's a Lions home game in Munich, but we play the Lions at home at BOA Most likely to happen would be Madrid vs the Falcons (although KC has been pushing hard for this one). From a schedule perspective, it would be interesting to have an early November Madrid game (then the bye week), then close out the season at BOA for the 2nd game vs the falcons.  In other words, put the two division games in the 2nd half of the season Paris vs the Saints has long been rumored to be the Browns (but... never say never) We wouldn't play Munich, Melbourne, Mexico City, London, or Rio based on who those announced home teams happen to be
