yeah, that was crazy. safety. wait, no safety.

 

[KLin]

They tried a halfback option from the endzone? That's stupid.

 

[Dedpuhl]

The holding was clearly in the endzone...

I concur :beer:

Gado was being tackled in the endzone on a run play, and he threw the ball forward. Refs ruled it intentional grounding and thus a safety. There was holding as well, but Detroit declined it. Refs huddle around for about 5 minutes, and then come back and say the ball passed the line of scrimmage and he was outside the tackle box. Thus, no safety and 2nd down.

No, it was just a run play.

LMAO :laugh:. Actually a smart play to avoid the safety.

Lions got jobbed.

 

[KLin]

holy crap, did he just throw the ball again?

 

[Tylanner]

100000% BS!

 

[Mill]

I would really like to know if the holding was declined, or if they called holding on someone else and missed the call in the endzone?

This Sunday game is actually more interesting than my SeaHawks blowout last Monday!

They declined b/c they had intentional grounding in the endzone. So when that was taken away, they would've accepted a holding in the endzone. The refs, however, muffed it up...

The refs blew it. They stated that the hold occured in the field of play, not in the end zone.

The replay clearly showed that was not the case.

Ghost of Lombardi I guess.

 

[slpaulson]

The Lions got screwed on that one.

True that.

 

[Pocatello]

Which Favre is going to show up? The Great One or the guy who throws INTs?
