Welp - it would have been an uphill battle for the Lions to make the playoffs anyways so perhaps this was a good outcome for them in the grand scheme of things.

Biggest losers tonight, Vikes. They needed Det to win this.

True. The Vikings could practically taste the division with 30 seconds left in this game.

 

[ArbyMelt]

The only way Rodgers can get the ball to,the end zone is,if,you rush 3 and let him step out of the pocket and wind up.

 

[Mario Kart]

It wasn't a playoff game but that play looked similar to the Favre-to-Sharpe pass. Rodgers even threw in the taking off the helmet similar to Favre on his run down.

WTF are you talking about? I don't ever remember a Packers Hail Mary. Favre hit Sharpe on a great play but it wasn't a Hail Mary or last play of the game. And Favre took his helmet off on the first touchdown pass in the Super Bowl against New England.

Wow, how little do you know? Go do some research.

 

[Quasimoto]

@ all these talking heads ignoring that there are 2 types of face masking and this was in no way the 15 yard type.

The rule was changed in 2008. There is only one type of facemask in the NFL.

Correct...and this wasn't it. A scrambling QB, in the process of bobbing and bouncing up and down, manages to barely brush the thumb of the defender with his face mask and the official calls a 15 yard penalty, extending a game that was over, which ends up resulting in the outcome being reversed. The refs have once again decided the an NFL game. Remember the good ol' days when players decide outcomes?

1. BS. I'm stil not convinced it WASNT a facemask after replay and live it definitely looked like one.

2. And even if it was a bad call, after that all Detroit had to do was defend a Hail Mary pass that has to have somewhere around a 1 % success rate. Detroit failed miserably here. The loss is on them and nobody else.

1. Nope. Minor incidental contact is NOT what the spirit of the facemask rule is about.

2. Yep. They failed miserably on a play that never should have happened.

Not a Stinger fan...but the play to Sharpe wasnt a hail Mary at all.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Zero outrage at the non-facemask, and then the hold and the block in the back on that final play.

It was a facemask. Everyone agrees on TV now.No official calls that hold on the final play.

Think it was the week before in the Silverdome (week 17). Won the division title, next week Packers held Barry to 0 or -10 or something absurd

Nope, he's right. Lions won the week before, came right back and beat them on the last play in the Silverdome

Minute left

wide open

Favre's first playoff win

[Sabertooth]

And the Packers did it the right way. You don't allow your defense a chance to blow it. Score on the final final play.

 

[twistd]

This doesn't change the fact that the Packers aren't very good. They got a gift tonight but they still don't have any receivers that can get open. They still have offensive line problems. This did nothing to change any of that.

 

[flapgreen]

Alright. Just showed replay of Facemask. Uh he just touched his facemask. The rest was on the shoulder. Rodgers jerked his head to the side himself.

If you think that was minor incidental contact then I don't know what to tell you. Just watched replay again- It was a good call.

And again, even if it wasnt there is no excuse for Detroit's failure to defend that play. They had 2 guys defending the sidelines with no friggin time left.

But as evidenced by this forum on a daily basis.....Stupidity is a pretty common thing.

 

[biju]

You can certainly pretend that was a facemask if Rodgers was a QB because of QB protection, but as a runner--which he was on that play--there is a ton of incidental contact to facemasks. Rodgers' greatest play was just pushing his head to the side to cheat a flag out of the refs.

 

[Dark Matter]

Defense won this game tonight Homie HTH

The holding was pretty obvious. Didn't see the block in the back.

Who was it on?

Not so sure about this. Definitely not entertaining.

 

[BigJim®]

Wow, perhaps the worst hail mary defensive positioning I've ever seen. 4 defenders behind the play in the back of the endzone and no one on the wide open receiver, with a 3 man rush on a 61 yard pass? Just crazy.

 

[sho nuff]

Alright. Just showed replay of Facemask. Uh he just touched his facemask. The rest was on the shoulder. Rodgers jerked his head to the side himself.

And again refs dont get slow mo replay on that.

He gets all the Shark Pool guys riled up, which is entertaining.

 

[Donnybrook]

I actually liked the the 5 yard face mask penalties for inadvertent contact. Now they call everything the same whether accidental grab or an attempted decapitation.

 

[sho nuff]

That why there is no need to put him on ignore. ..he runs away so often on his own.

Sorry you made yourself look like the fraud you are earlier, you don't eat crow very well at all. You'll get'em in some game thread this weekend. Hopefully you can report 50+ posts, I have good intel you lead the Shark Pool in post reporting. Your family must be proud of you.

While I agree with you that he definitely knows his football, he's the biggest doosh alive. But you're nothing like him so I'm 100% certain you are not ITS.

 

[davearm]

I'm not a fan of either of these teams, and yet that BS facemask call still got me worked up. Just brutal. There's incidental contact to ballcarriers' facemasks all game long. The Lion defender didn't pull or twist the facemask.

NFL officials blew another game tonight.

 

[Raider Nation]

Pretty much the most ho-hum Hail Mary ever.

I don't agree. I can absolutely see in real time how that would be called a facemask all the damn time.

It was definitely not a facemask, but unlike a lot of bad calls I can totally understand how they missed it live. Was there anyone that thought it wasn't an obvious facemask before they showed the replay?

A star QB gets hit in the facemask it's going to get called. It looked much worse at full speed than it really was.

Sharpe wanted off the filed too...got dinged or was tired on the previous play. He wasnt on the correct side of the formation and Favre was told not to scramble.

So of course, he does scramble then rip off a pass across his body

 

[simsarge]

Quick question, was Rogers the guy that muffed the onside kick last year?

Hand up to the mask, quick grab with finger and head gets turned. At full speed official is going to make that call almost every time.
