[Ministry of Pain]

you might want to reach out to a LIons' fan and help talk them off the ledge, oh my! 

 

[The General]

Holy cow

 

[Leroy Hoard]

WOW. LONG FG here.

NFL record.

 

[Insein]

Is it just me or was there not a (major) delay of game on that last play where LJax threw it out of bounds?

Absolutely. Play clock was at like -5

 

[Desert_Power]

6 point field goal against my team but I don't care. Amazing.

 

[heckmanm]

4/19 to a 66 yard fg is about as Lions as it gets

 

[jon_mx]

Not the first time the Lions have lost on a record setting fg.

[dickey moe]

God I feel for the Lions.

You guys are better than advertised. 

 

[modogg]

i don't have any rooting interest here, but the clock mgmt and inability to call delay of game was some of the shadiest i have seen in some time. i would say inept or human error, but all seemed to benefit Baltimore

Only helps next draft.

Said it before, will say it again. 

Justin Tucker is the greatest kicker in NFL History.   A mortal lock for the Hall of Fame.   

 

[Mister CIA]

Any predictions on special teams player of the week?

Sorry Jacksonville guy.

 

[Biabreakable]

That was amazing.

That’s just a typical Lions game. Happens all the time. I’m not the least bit surprised the refs missed the delay of game penalty.

 

[farfromforgotten]

I tuned in right at the end and said “huh, the Lions are going to beat the Ravens.” 
 

I was wrong.

Yes, wasn’t even close.

was pretty terrible in that it wasn't even close. and i have no idea why the clocked was stopped for like 10 seconds on the one sack earlier on that drive

 

[wgoldsph]

Man, beautiful.  The only kicker that matters

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

If anyone was ever worthy of an NFL record, it is Tucker with that particular record.

 

[dcgangstas]

Those  of us that had the Ravens in a Survivor Pool can breathe again.

Throw in some bad reffing and it's a rare trivecta for a Lions loss.  

 

[BobbyLayne]

Once a year the Lion’s win or compete very closely in a game that seems way out of their favor. This feels like that game.

They could we win today. Wouldn’t bet the house on it or anything, but both lines are playing well, the offense is finding it’s rhythm, the young DBs are playing better than expected, and their coach is a great motivator. 

We forgot one thing, GB

 

[Dan Lambskin]

 

[Da Guru]

The delay of game call was missed by at least 2 seconds.   The announcers said 5 seconds on the clock..then they never said a word after it expired.

One thing that drives me nuts is the Lions are harrasing and putting pressure on Jackson.  Then on 4th and 19 they only rush 3 guys and give him 10 seconds to let WRs get deep.

 

[Ilov80s]

I like how the announcer counted down the game clock and then never even acknowledge the delay of game

It’s pretty much standard operating procedure, really. 

 

[BobbyLayne]

off the mother####ing crossbar

 

[whoknew]

Its difficult being a Lions fan.

 

[jon_mx]

Usually it is just one or two of those to get a loss.  It is unusual for it to take three levels of misery to beat the Lions.  

 

[BobbyLayne]

I'm about to go 4-0 in fantasy this week - after the 1pm games my win probability is 99, 94, 72, and 66.

I feel like ####.

 

[Beef Ravioli]

Is it just me or was there not a (major) delay of game on that last play where LJax threw it out of bounds?

I imagine there is nothing that can be done now, but that seemed so obvious! It felt like a second or more? 

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Its difficult being a Lions fan.

It's easier if you view it as more of a comedy than tragedy.

 

[rockaction]

66 yards, huh.

Some of my favorite people on the board are Lions fans. Sorry, fellas.

The onscreen count down clock is not the actual play clock is the standard BS line NY puts out when asked

Good news in the long run. Thibodeaux is still a possibility.

 

[Zeppelin]

Amazingly enough, the final score of 19-17 is the same score as the game Dempsey kicked the 63 yard field goal.

What a punch in the gut. Again.

 

[BobbyLayne]

hottest thread on r/detroitlions rn is How the hell was that not a delay-of-game penalty

 

[Moonlight]

Lions only rushed three on 4th down. Campbell went into a shell again and played for the field goal. Ref's ignore time. All set the stage again for Justin Tucker to tear out the Lions' hearts.

stood in the doorway with my brother and dad waiting for the last play, we were going out in the woods (deer hunting season)

they saw where they were kicking from and said "he can't make that. alright see you out back."

 

[SoBeDad]

I didn't see the game, but it appears Lamar made some key plays on that last drive. 4th and long.

 

[Zeppelin]

How many ####### times can the Lions get screwed by the refs on blatant calls?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

The most important thing to remember is that the 0-3 Lions are now 2-1 against the spread.

He made one play when Lions went passive on 4th down and rushed three. Prior three plays they had intense pressure on him and moved him backwards. But he made a real good throw on that play.

This apparently is the only forum I am allowed to post in anymore. 

 

[rockaction]

Well, they called delay of game against the Jets during a field goal, maintaining Denver's shutout against them.

 

[King of the Jungle]

If someone wanted me to show them what it is like being a Lion’s fan this game would be a good start.

When it was 4th and 19, my 24 year old daughter who only watches college football said "it looks like the Lions are going to win".  I just smiled and said, just enjoy the interesting way they are going to lose, and sure enough...
