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.
