The call absolutely was a bad call.  However, at full speed during the play it absolutely looked like a facemask....and thus why it was called.  The refs do not get the benefit of slow motion instant replay on penalties. 

If it looked like a penalty, then imo it wasn't a bad call.  I do believe that perhaps penalties should be reviewable, although I fear that might slow the game down to much.

So many bitter fans about a game that didn't involve their team. Lol

Packers will lose, Rodgers is terrible playing from behind. 

I've yet to see him compete a pass thrown beyond 5 Yd of the LOS. 

He's a dink & dunk QB like Brady. And he's a stat padder who is more worried about his stat line than anything. He won't throw downfield unless his guy is wide open. He'll eat a 10 Yd sack every time over throwing into a tight window.

shut up with refs trash...if up to you each and every play would be reviewed and games would last five hours...Detroit lost game...period...quit blaming every loss on referees

 

listen to what Jimmy Johnson said other day on Cowherd- he said refs are gonna make calls...and a TEAM SHOULD NEVER BLAME REFS FOR A LOSS...don't put yourself in a position to lose because of a penalty in the first place...he said that why he ran up the score as often as he could lol....

 

and btw that was a correct call anyway...poor technique by Lions defender to reach out and grab around face...wrap up...don't grab...

 

 

 

Poor reading comp there rookie.  My statement wasn't even directed at the refs, but actually if reviewing calls that can lead to first downs were reviewed it could help them out.  It wasn't the correct call, btw.

It was a pretty close call.

Either way, the defender has to be smarter than that to end a game. If he wraps Rodgers up like he's supposed to, game over, his team wins.

And I'll call you out as a bandwagon fan that just showed up on the forums, just because it annoys you.  You are just the hype of individual to live with your head in the sand not realizing what is going on around you.

I didn't even whine about this call, why would I, these aren't even my teams.   In real time it's still wrong, but I agree much harder to get right, HENCE the reason that calls like that should be reviewed.  I don't understand how anyone wouldn't see the point of that (until now of course).

I think penalties that reward a first down should be instant reviewed by the booth honestly.  

Not sure that they should be reviewed instantly but they should be reviewable like other plays. 

Coaches get their 2 challenges per game still and nothing really changes. The only plays I can really see it being used is personal fouls and pass interference, maybe a holding call if it's a drive killer. Refs are human, barely, and can make mistakes. Those mistakes shouldn't cost a team the game, or in the playoffs, their season.

By bad call, I mean that it in fact was not a penalty.  I am not faulting the ref on this one.  Just sucks for the Lions to be jobbed out of a second game this season by a badly blown call....remember the Seattle game and the player punching the ball out of the endzone. 

If the refs get both of those right, Detroit is 6-6 and sitting in the #6 playoff spot right now.

Detroit had the opportunity to run out the clock, Detroit lost that game. Not the refs.

Jim Caldwell was an idiot for thinking lateral play instead of Hail Mary........that's why the Lions are the Lions though

Yep.....buddy of mine grew up in Detroit and is a life long Lions fan.  I texted him at halftime saying great game so far.  He texted back saying just wait....Lions will find a way to lose.  That is what they do. 

And damned if he wasn't right.

I told my wife the same thing last night before she went to bed.  She ask if the Lions and I said no. She pauses and just laughs nonstop.  Lions are just an embarrassment because they were the better team last night.  Caldwell sucks at in game decisions.

They expect to lose....and they constantly find new ways to do it.  Gotta give them credit for that.
