The Lions got screwed big time today.

[Lefty]

I saw the highlights of the Lions/Bucaneers game and the Lions scored a touchdown with 17 seconds to go but the guys upstairs overturned the call.

Replay showed it was a touchdown and what I don't understand is the only way a call is reversed is if there is conclusive evidence showing the call on the field was wrong. No way did the replay show it was not a touchdown.

Something smells in Tampa Bay. Sometimes you have to wonder how crooked the NFL is?

Uh... Who cares about the Lions anyways.... Shouldn't come down to calls anyways..

Huh... The Lions scored. They did not need any calls.

We should care because if crap like this happens to one team and costs them a win...it will happen to others like ours.

Oh wait, it already has once this year

That was clearly NOT a catch...he didn't have possession of the ball until his knee was out. It was clear on the replay.

Now, the Giants/Rams game, the ball was spotted a yard short, got moved, was a first and the spot was challenged, and it HELD UP. The guy was a good yard short, but somehow they blew that call on the replay. THAT was screwed.

But no, the Lions didn't score at the end, they just thought they did...and I wish they had.

I watched the end of that game on the Ticket and thought it was the right call. His knee hit the line JUST before he had control of the ball.

I thought it was very subjective...

Hence inconclusive and should not have been overturned. That is actually the replay rule.

I don't know about that. I was hoping like heck it was a TD and that Tampa would lose. I still thought it was the right call.
