The refs stole that game from the lions and potential in higher seeding. Decker was DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF HIM. How much more obvious can it possibly be..?
Watch the first 2 plays of the Lions drive… 2 no calls for holding on Parsons. They didn’t get robbed, they should have never been in the position to win anyways.
@@nodekapunkwell that’s consistent with the fact that Parsons usually doesn’t get that call anyways, but there is always holding on the o-line, they are not going to call it every time
REALITY....the NFL has given the refs total control of the game by not allowing reviews. Sooo stupid. Rigged? Well, I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
@@pianissimomilano It was a bit of cat and mouse by Detroit vs the Dallas sideline by sending over Sewell and Decker, and finally have Skipper run past the three as he had reported eligible multiple times before. In the end the slight of hand backfired as the refs clearly made a wrong assumption as to who actually reported eligible. I just wish the refs and the league would man up and take accountability instead of constantly putting it on everyone else
He also lined up wrong so it would have been flagged for illegal formation. The Lions also got away multiple holding calls a the beginning of the drive. Stop crying.
Lions fans have literally nothing to complain about.. The formation itself was illegal.. They had another chance after Parsons was called offsides on what would have been Goff's third pick.. They failed there as well.. Cowboys win was legit.
no, the lions messed up, if the entire stadium does not know that the 68 is eligible, it means he is not elegible, they wanted to sneak an ineligible man to get the cowboys and they were penalized. finally the refs did good
@@arturoporraz6046 Look, I understand that you’re a cowboys fan but consider that literally only the clueless cowboys fans are the only ones saying the refs did good here. When EVERYONE else including announcers and analysts and other teams are saying the refs did bad then maybe… just maybe you’ve backed the wrong horse on this one. Have a good one ✌🏻
The worst part of this is (pre-game) Dan Campbell said he reviewed this play "to a tee" with the refs. They knew it was coming and still f-ed it up. Shame on him for not taking the blame.
I’m not sure that is right. 3 linemen crowded the ref to trick the cowboys. If you go over something like that with the refs it is border line cheating. You’re explaining to the ref pre-game to help you trick the opposing team. That is dead wrong.
And there's no way around that. It's cheating or the ref is just stupid. I don't even really want give the excuse the ref might've been incompetent because it gives another excuse outside of the NFL being cheaters. The money is in the NFC East. Absolutely no money in the NFC North. The NFL cheated.
The other side to this that no one is talking about: why was 70 reported as Eligible by the ref? 70 never said anything to the ref, nor even motioned that he was making himself Eligible. Why is the Ref inventing eligibility out of thin air?
Apparently #70 reported multiple times in the game, but that is part of the gameplan, to report one player and then report a different player. Also apparently the coaches meet with the officials before the game and show them these plays that they might do, in detail as to which player is going to report etc. Dan Campbell is seen yelling “I TOLD YOU” to the ref multiple times. Seems the official rushed the call, went off an in the moment assumption instead of taking the time to have everything down as fact. #70 didn’t report and also didn’t line up in a position that could report. #68 reported and lined up in a position that needed to be reported. WRs lined up off the line, to be in the correct position for the reported eligible player (as to not have an illegal formation). Ref just rushed unnecessarily and f’d it up. Now Lions can’t get the 1 and might not get the 2 seed. BS.
He ran up to the ref to give the illusion that he was reporting. Too trick cowboys. That is why 3 linemen are crowding the ref. Too much trickery. Just report and run the play. The refs announce who is eligible anyway 📢
@@ccmoose1 they should have been able to see who was lined up as the TE, but yeah if the ref reported it wrong, that’s probably why he didn’t let it stand, but sucks for DET when they did everything correctly. There just needs to be a mechanism to make sure that the correct calls are made.
They did not get robbed. Seriously...they sent three guys to ref to have only one report. The official thought 70 was who they designated as Eligible. It was reported to Dallas d 70 was eligible and not 68. Would 68 been covered if it was reported correctly....absolutely and no way he catches it.
They robbed themselves by having two extra chances for an easy kick to go into overtime and they instead went for a two point conversion three times in a row. An extra point gives you a chance for win, failing a two point conversion means you LOSE. It was crazy enough to try it the first time but when that play was reversed they should have kicked it every time after that.

@@A7X062388 70 didn't report he went nowhere near the ref, also, 2 people can actually report. Way to be wrong and a petty little girl at the same time loser.
It a shame the referees won't admit when they get a call wrong. You can tell when Dan is looking the ref in the eyes, he just sticks to his call. He looked at 70 and 68. This is terrible officiating and should be reviewable especially with the game on the line.
They also lined up in an illegal formation wideout was on the ball. Either way they would’ve been penalized. Idiots stop playing madden and try getting real playing experience and you’d know the rules.
I agree to an extent but plays like this are hard to really review, we’d never know if the cowboys would’ve covered 68 better if he was reported eligible by the refs and they can’t just have a “do-over” on the play either. This is just bad officiating and the refs need to seriously be held accountable. It’s ridiculous how much the NFL always tries to defend them.
at best , you replay the down. There is no scenario where Detroit should have been given the points when #70 is reported as eligible and the LB is clearly pointing at #70 pre snap letting his team know who is eligible and #68 is ignored until the ball is headed his way
WE CAN REVIEW IT 70 CLEARLY WALKED ONTO THE FIELD AND GAVE TWO SIGNALS HE WAS THE ELIGIABLE RECEIVER...THE REF WALKED OVER TO THE COWBOYS AND GAVE ONE OF THOSE SIGNALS TO THE COWBOYS...THEN THEY ANNOUNCED TO THE STADIUM 70 WAS ELIGIABLE...68 NEVER MADE A VISUAL SIGNAL HE WAS ELIGABLE...what else do you have to see????? you might have to have a working brain....Can't just assume "ref calls bad"...have to put the simplest of things together....then notice hey the refs were correct...
2:58 Brad Allen is looking at Dan Skipper (70), registering him as eligible. 2:59 Brad clearly turns his head and gaze from Skipper to Taylor Decker (68). He waits a moment, and is apparently listening to him because at 3:01 nods Brad nods at Taylor, who immediately breaks off the interaction at that point. You'd be hard pressed to convince me Taylor hadn't broken off and gone back to the huddle because he believed, with good reason, that he had clearly reported eligible. Refs blew it here.
Decker said that he went to the ref and all he said was "report". Report as what? Eligible? Ineligible? WTF? You'd be hard pressed to convince me that that Decker should have believed he made it clear he was reporting as eligible. Skipper came running onto the field rubbing his number, which is the signal for reporting as eiligible. The ref was looking at Skipper pretty much the whole time.
@@tinman67tn Decker said he reported, and the #70 said that he did not report. The ref got confused, or is just lying about it to cover his colossal blunder. The formation had #70 at guard - no way he could be eligible even, so it wouldn't make any sense for him to report, which he did not. It is obvious that report means eligible with their OL #s, and the ref went and told the Cowboys about reporting as an eligible receiver, there was no confusion on what "report" meant to the ref.
@@gabesperber9958 I'm putting partial blame on the lions for trying to cheese the system by having 3 offensive lineman walk up to the ref at the same time. They tried confusing the defense and confused the ref instead. Just play football instead of trying to be cute all the time.
As a lions fan, ive also been watching that video and thinking "it looks like the refs eyes were locked on 70 and je never looked at 68". It is NOT the player's fault if he went up and said yhe right thing, but as a player you cant assume you were recognized if brad didnt acknowledge him at all.
@dianavecchio you mean the guy who wasn't even there before he ran away... he literally ran away before 70 got there. Literally worst oversight of the year. Clock was stopped so no rush. The player was so close you can't blame the crowd noise on it. The player that apparently reported he ran away from. And it majorly impacted the outcome of the game. That guy should clearly not be the head ref anymore and he should be lucky if he even gets to continue reffing with the distrust this is causing.
I disagree, I think that Brad Allen and these officials should take some responsibility for once, and I think that he should make it clear to Detroit who he thought was reported eligable, so they can adjust it if needed, I didn't even want Detroit to win necessarily but this ending was brutal and I would be livid if this was the Packers
A Detroit fan talking about accountability tonight. Ironic. Would you say the same thing about Dan Campbell? Going for the same play 3 times just to lose the game, it's his fault Detroit lost.
The X receiver is off the ball. This makes the tackle ineligible no matter if he reported or not. This could be why #70 was considered eligible. The refs could have called illegal formation also. Both calls are valid.
You don't understand the rules. It is the reporting players responsibility to make sure the ref know. When the ref did not declare him eligible to the Cowboys defense the player should have let the ref know. The player did not. The other player who did declare and get announced he declared line up illegally when the wr on his side covered him up. There were two flags on the play. One was for illegal formation which was the illegal cover up of the declared player.
Disagree with this reporters analysis. If you view the tape, the ref gives a nod to no 68 and moves on to the Cowboys. I never see the ref recognize no 70 who was coming onto the field. To me it looks like no 68 made contact with the ref.
@@A7X062388 he literally says at the start of the video they CAN lil boy. NFL Rule 5, Section 3, Article 1, there is no limit to the number of players who can report as eligible on a given play
So I guess what actually happened is - #68 came up to the ref and said “strange weather we’re having, oh well, happy new years” and then #70 ran up and said “yeah ref, happy new years” then the ref said “happy new years, let me go tell the Cowboys quick” and then #70 put his arm around #68 and they went to the huddle feeling warm and content. The end.
I would honestly feel a lot better if the ref just said “hey I was mistaken and I feel bad about it” But the double down and tap dancing is an absolutely Terrible look for the League!!💯

Brad Allen needs to be fired. That was an absolute disgrace. Too much at stake for him to decide that outcome. Officials need to have mics and of course take the ear pieces away from them so the league and Vegas can’t put a fix in..
Uh, what video are you watching. 70 is running in calling out and the red is looking at him and then acknowledges him. His eyes glance past 68 for a moment as he turns and runs to the defense to let them know. Clearly 70 was vocal and 68 was not.
@@A982000A the ref saw 70 didn't pay attention to 68. Im sure 68 spoke to him given the lions diligence in letting the refs know of this possibility during pregame activities. It is the ref's job to know his surroundings on the field. An abject blunder.

This is why I barely watch these games anymore and usually only turn on at the end just to see how scripted these games get and here we are again. I did the same thing for that Celtics vs Pistons game. That 4th quarter was hilariously scripted. But I can't even watch March Madness at all anymore because it is too obviously scripted but then I laugh about how stupid people are when I hear over $15 billion was gambled for last years March Madness tournament. No 1, 2, or 3 seeds make the final 4 with only 1 4th seed along with a 16th seed winning in the early round? You people that bet on March Madness are complete idiots, lol!

why would you give the game to the lions? Dallas had 23 seconds, all three time outs and a kicker who can hit from 60+ and is perfect on the season. giving the game to the lions WOULD BE stealing the game.
What if after the play, Brad Allen realized that it was #68 that reported and not #70 as he told the Cowboys. So he lets the play stand. Would that be fair to the Cowboys?
I have seen before that after a play the refs recongize that they f'd up (like spotted wrong, or did not give defense time to substitute) and declared NO PLAY. The play is re-run. This could have happened here but the refs would have had a bunch of grief but probably not as much as they are seeing now.
No, because he told the Cowboys 70 was reporting. That's why 68 was uncovered. If you watch the play, they cover 70. It unknown if the play would have worked if they had gotten it right.
The NFL has come out and clarified the situation. Apparently when Decker went up to the ref before the play - he wasn't reporting in as "eligible" - he was just asking the ref what the ref "got for Christmas."
The key questions here are if Taylor Decker is married and if Taylor Decker knows if Brad Allen is married. If both are married, then Decker has to be aware that Allen's wife constantly says things to Allen, only for Allen to instantly forget what his wife just said. Allen's wife no doubt forces Allen to repeat, word for word, what she just said. That's how relationships work. Decker needed to place himself in the role of Allen's wife and request that Allen repeat back to Decker what Decker just told him. If Decker is married, the fault lies with him. If he is still single, the fault lies with Allen. If you are married, you will agree with me.
Know this: the reason Decker was so wide open was because the Dallas defense was told number 70 was eligible; not number 68, Decker. Had there been no confusion, Dallas would have been told that number 68 was eligible and probably would have had coverage on him.
True, but that could have opened up a different player (as happens many times when a lineman reports). The crappy thing is that even if they would have replayed the 2 pt. conversion, the refs had tipped the Lions' hand by screwing up the call.
John Parry “the pass interference wasn’t obvious enough. It is on the receiver to be tackled, thrown to the ground and stomped on. The official was looking into the stands at a pretty girl and just didn’t connect with the player. I think the player has to take the responsibility in that one”
John Parry also said that it was an illegal formation because Decker wasn't covered up on the line. In fact the receiver was back off the line specifically to make Decker an eligible receiver. If Decker was covered that would make him ineligible in that formation.
Truly a disgraceful take from this former ref. It's like watching cops supporting a cop that just beat someone. You suck parry and have zero credibility going forward. You're fired!
Lol don’t send 3 lineman to report. Lions were trying to create confusion… well they did. Audio shows ref told Dallas D 70 was eligible. That’s why 68 was wide open. No way to end that game on a gift to the lions. Lions then got several more chances and couldn’t close out. Lions lost.
@@Colt45MDTHANK YOU. Even if all of this BS had played out the way the lions wanted. Cowboys still have half a minute with a timeout and Brandon freaking “good from 65+” Aubrey to kick a field goal.

The other factor here is that before the game Dan Campbell told the refs about this specific play so they wouldn't be confused about it. Horrible call!
They executed it wrong. Why did both 58 and 68 go to the ref if only 68 was declaring. The player has to tell the ref and the ref has to acknowledge the player. The ref acknowledges the player by declaring the player eligible to the defense. When that did not happen, it is 100% on the player to correct the ref and inform him he is eligible. Only 70 was declared to the defense and he ended up be covered by the wr on his side which made it an illegal formation. Which was also called on the play.
Skipper (#70) ran onto the field, diretly at the ref......rubbing his number. Rubbing the number is the signal for reporting eligible. If he wasn't reporting as eligible......why did he run to the ref instead of straight to the huddle?
@tinman67tn No no logical conclusions drawn from observations aren't allowed here. Ref man bad. Number 70 running at the ref like a lunatic reporting then even moving around his other 2 team mates to make sure the ref knows he is reporting clearly means 68 was the one reporting 🙃
Who is this guy? His claim is 100% BS. At 2:58 the ref stops looking at Skipper and looks directly at Decker and says something to him. The confusion was with the ref.
Its RIGGED and this chump is in on it! So is ESPN the sports books OWN the NFL now and THEY will determine who "wins" games from now on! It is so freaking ovbious with tape of the Lion reporting in!
How do you blame the player for this?! The player went to the ref and reported. The ref wasn't paying attention. But it's the players fault?! The refs can't even hold each other accountable. Terrible.
Easy! The player (#68) probably thought the Ref acknowledged him instead of making absolutely CERTAIN that the Ref understood what was going on. Besides.., why have THREE players approaching the Ref unless you're simply trying to confuse the Defense. Instead.., they confused the Officiating Crew as well... LMAO!!
If, If, If the refs were making a mistake, the Lions had opportunity to straighten things out before the snap of the ball, but they were good with the Cowboys not knowing they wanted 68 to be an eligible receiver. The Lions tried to confuse the refs, but the refs made the right call.

If anything, 70 didn't report in. He's running on at the last second, and doesn't get anywhere near the official. Especially in a loud stadium. They got way too cute, and didn't even have a timeout to set it up. Shoulda just kicked the extra point, or ran your best play. Not rushing guys in at the last second, trying to be tricky/confusing.

Yep couldn’t agree more the reds should be able to own up to there mistake they shouldn’t need some guy on the television to back them up. It was there mistake they should take the blame
Ref should be required to go over the mic to announce who reported as eligible. This would clearly communicate to both teams and give the offense a chance to correct if a mistake was made by the officials.
This dudes just straight up wrong by looking out for his officiating counterparts. It’s not on the lions, it’s on the refs, they should be fined for this
It is up to the players to report, it is their responsibility that they communicate to the ref LOL. DON'T send 3 Linemen to the ref at the end of a chaotic game if you want a specific player reported
The responsibility is in the player to report and that means be sure you’re understood. Seems like the Lions sent three lineman to the ref to try and confuse the Cowboys. #70 raises his hand before the snap to also confuse the Cowboys. Instead, they confused the ref

They reported right as many of the footage shows starting with Jared Goff pointing for Decker to the ref and he did. It was the refs fault, period.

They announce 70 as eligible so the defense is not expecting 68 to be a receiver. We will never know what could have happened because the refs gave both teams no chance to play the final play correctly.
To me, this is the most alarming part. The lack of logical reasoning on the part of almost everyone commenting is even greater than the incompetent officiating. If the refs do it right, it's a completely different play. It should be plain as day that you can't take what the defense did when 70 was announced and assume they would do it the same way if 68 had been announced. But even it Lions convert, Dallas has 23 seconds, a timeout, and a kicker who has never missed a FG, including 9/9 from 50+. The story should be about bad officiating in general, including the "trip" that, if not called, entirely negates any chance Lions have. But here we are in 2024 where no one knows how to think...
@@earthrave11 Then Dan Campbell admits that he sent 3 different lineman up the referee to try and confuse the defense lmao. So basically the penalty was justified and 68 was not eligible
@@david-1775Sorry, but that is a bad argument. There is litterly not other reason he would have gone up him. On top of the tape that shows Goff telling Decker to declare himself.

@@Thebebop2008 70 was just walking to the huddle the other player by 68 is not even in question. But the only thing is even though the ref messed up he has to point at the eligibility of the player with some kind of vertical sign to tell the defense, no idea who the ref pointed at after his mess. On other videos you can see 70 was just walking to the huddle. My guess is that teams don't even pay attention to vertical sign half the time anyway because eligible players trick defenses so often.

The NFL has ALWAYS been rigged
Regardless Detroit had 3 chances to convert and didn't.
The other side to this that no one is talking about: why was 70 reported as Eligible by the ref? 70 never said anything to the ref, nor even motioned that he was making himself Eligible. Why is the Ref inventing eligibility out of thin air?
Apparently #70 reported multiple times in the game, but that is part of the gameplan, to report one player and then report a different player. Also apparently the coaches meet with the officials before the game and show them these plays that they might do, in detail as to which player is going to report etc. Dan Campbell is seen yelling “I TOLD YOU” to the ref multiple times. Seems the official rushed the call, went off an in the moment assumption instead of taking the time to have everything down as fact. #70 didn’t report and also didn’t line up in a position that could report. #68 reported and lined up in a position that needed to be reported. WRs lined up off the line, to be in the correct position for the reported eligible player (as to not have an illegal formation). Ref just rushed unnecessarily and f’d it up. Now Lions can’t get the 1 and might not get the 2 seed. BS.
But if the refs hadn't messed up, would the Cowboys have covered Decker? Sadly, we'll never know.
He ran up to the ref to give the illusion that he was reporting. Too trick cowboys. That is why 3 linemen are crowding the ref. Too much trickery. Just report and run the play. The refs announce who is eligible anyway 📢
@@ccmoose1 they should have been able to see who was lined up as the TE, but yeah if the ref reported it wrong, that’s probably why he didn’t let it stand, but sucks for DET when they did everything correctly. There just needs to be a mechanism to make sure that the correct calls are made.
@@djmattplay agreed. With how much money the NFL makes, mistakes like these should not be tolerated.
Lions got robbed plain and simple. Ain’t no other way to say it or explain it. That was terrible officiating.
Cry some more
They did not get robbed. Seriously...they sent three guys to ref to have only one report. The official thought 70 was who they designated as Eligible. It was reported to Dallas d 70 was eligible and not 68. Would 68 been covered if it was reported correctly....absolutely and no way he catches it.
The ref nods then runs over the defense to tell them someone is eligable. What's a player supposed to do, run over to the ref again, and double check?
They robbed themselves by having two extra chances for an easy kick to go into overtime and they instead went for a two point conversion three times in a row. An extra point gives you a chance for win, failing a two point conversion means you LOSE. It was crazy enough to try it the first time but when that play was reversed they should have kicked it every time after that.
@@MaskOfCinder they won the game with the first 2 point conversion, plain and simple. The ref screwed them, but okay.

I agree to an extent but plays like this are hard to really review, we’d never know if the cowboys would’ve covered 68 better if he was reported eligible by the refs and they can’t just have a “do-over” on the play either. This is just bad officiating and the refs need to seriously be held accountable. It’s ridiculous how much the NFL always tries to defend them.

2:58 Brad Allen is looking at Dan Skipper (70), registering him as eligible. 2:59 Brad clearly turns his head and gaze from Skipper to Taylor Decker (68). He waits a moment, and is apparently listening to him because at 3:01 nods Brad nods at Taylor, who immediately breaks off the interaction at that point.
You'd be hard pressed to convince me Taylor hadn't broken off and gone back to the huddle because he believed, with good reason, that he had clearly reported eligible.
Refs blew it here.
That was exactly how I read it; he saw Skip but heard Taylor
Decker said that he went to the ref and all he said was "report". Report as what? Eligible? Ineligible? WTF?

Literally worst oversight of the year. Clock was stopped so no rush. The player was so close you can't blame the crowd noise on it. The player that apparently reported he ran away from. And it majorly impacted the outcome of the game. That guy should clearly not be the head ref anymore and he should be lucky if he even gets to continue reffing with the distrust this is causing.
I disagree, I think that Brad Allen and these officials should take some responsibility for once, and I think that he should make it clear to Detroit who he thought was reported eligable, so they can adjust it if needed, I didn't even want Detroit to win necessarily but this ending was brutal and I would be livid if this was the Packers
A Detroit fan talking about accountability tonight.
Ironic. Would you say the same thing about Dan Campbell? Going for the same play 3 times just to lose the game, it's his fault Detroit lost.
The X receiver is off the ball. This makes the tackle ineligible no matter if he reported or not. This could be why #70 was considered eligible. The refs could have called illegal formation also. Both calls are valid.
You don't understand the rules. It is the reporting players responsibility to make sure the ref know. When the ref did not declare him eligible to the Cowboys defense the player should have let the ref know. The player did not. The other player who did declare and get announced he declared line up illegally when the wr on his side covered him up. There were two flags on the play. One was for illegal formation which was the illegal cover up of the declared player.

If both are married, then Decker has to be aware that Allen's wife constantly says things to Allen, only for Allen to instantly forget what his wife just said. Allen's wife no doubt forces Allen to repeat, word for word, what she just said. That's how relationships work. Decker needed to place himself in the role of Allen's wife and request that Allen repeat back to Decker what Decker just told him. If Decker is married, the fault lies with him. If he is still single, the fault lies with Allen. If you are married, you will agree with me.
Know this: the reason Decker was so wide open was because the Dallas defense was told number 70 was eligible; not number 68, Decker. Had there been no confusion, Dallas would have been told that number 68 was eligible and probably would have had coverage on him.
True, but that could have opened up a different player (as happens many times when a lineman reports). The crappy thing is that even if they would have replayed the 2 pt. conversion, the refs had tipped the Lions' hand by screwing up the call.
John Parry “the pass interference wasn’t obvious enough. It is on the receiver to be tackled, thrown to the ground and stomped on. The official was looking into the stands at a pretty girl and just didn’t connect with the player. I think the player has to take the responsibility in that one”
So ridiculous that the reds can’t take responsibility
John Parry also said that it was an illegal formation because Decker wasn't covered up on the line. In fact the receiver was back off the line specifically to make Decker an eligible receiver. If Decker was covered that would make him ineligible in that formation.
Bad refs and equally bad TV analysts!!!!!!
John Parry, what a disgrace, you are the Politician version of the NFL. JUST OWN IT!
Truly a disgraceful take from this former ref. It's like watching cops supporting a cop that just beat someone. You suck parry and have zero credibility going forward. You're fired!
he's not going to say anything negative about nfl officiating because he's worried he might get fired.
Lions got robbed that's clearly our win good job refs on picking sides with the cowgirls
😂😂 Losers..yall gone cry about this for 3 more seasons Lions will never be the IT team like Dem Boys
Lol don’t send 3 lineman to report. Lions were trying to create confusion… well they did. Audio shows ref told Dallas D 70 was eligible. That’s why 68 was wide open. No way to end that game on a gift to the lions. Lions then got several more chances and couldn’t close out. Lions lost.
@@Colt45MDTHANK YOU.
Even if all of this BS had played out the way the lions wanted. Cowboys still have half a minute with a timeout and Brandon freaking “good from 65+” Aubrey to kick a field goal.
FIRE BRAD ALLEN!! Anything less than that is unacceptable. If he were to make another mistake like that again in the playoffs we would all look back and say why is that guy still officiating. It’s for good of the league to let him go. Sorry, but a mistake that bad has to have some sort of consequence.
Fire him for what, he was just following the script. 😊
You mean like the no holding calls on Micha Parsons all season? Bro, there is NO WAY the Lions are making it to the Super Bowl this year, nor next or ANYTIME. They are they black sheep of the NFL, and you can thank your old and present owner for that
They won't fire him they got Union backing them this is so messed up though
Lions fan? Wat a joke
We all see JOHN PERRY trying to make it 68 fault for the refs not PAYING ATTENTION ( his job) to the game. Contradiction of what he said, it’s not usual for the lineman to walk up to the ref like that. But, then basically say he ignored him because he was in a rush but the CLOCK WAS STOPPED !!!!! 🚮🚮🚮🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🚮🚮🚮

Good point

This explanation is RIDICULOUS. He did, the ref didn't look at him. He's incompetent.
Not only did he obviously report himself as eligible, dont forget the flag wasnt thrown until 16 seconds after the play was finished.

@@RenardGarzaro Yes, he did. He told them in that specific situation 68 would report as eligible. The ref just had a mental lapse and then lied.
Dan should be fired because he didn't kick the field goal. Dan cost the lions to lose 😂😂
They executed it wrong. Why did both 58 and 68 go to the ref if only 68 was declaring. The player has to tell the ref and the ref has to acknowledge the player. The ref acknowledges the player by declaring the player eligible to the defense. When that did not happen, it is 100% on the player to correct the ref and inform him he is eligible. Only 70 was declared to the defense and he ended up be covered by the wr on his side which made it an illegal formation. Which was also called on the play.
He can call 70 from 7+ yards away as eligible. But the guy literally breathing on him.....wow
Skipper (#70) ran onto the field, diretly at the ref......rubbing his number. Rubbing the number is the signal for reporting eligible. If he wasn't reporting as eligible......why did he run to the ref instead of straight to the huddle?
@tinman67tn
No no logical conclusions drawn from observations aren't allowed here. Ref man bad. Number 70 running at the ref like a lunatic reporting then even moving around his other 2 team mates to make sure the ref knows he is reporting clearly means 68 was the one reporting 🙃
@@tinman67tn what? Your making no sense. To say any of those 3 players did not make their intentions known to the ref is blatant lying.

How do you blame the player for this?! The player went to the ref and reported. The ref wasn't paying attention. But it's the players fault?! The refs can't even hold each other accountable. Terrible.
Easy! The player (#68) probably thought the Ref acknowledged him instead of making absolutely CERTAIN that the Ref understood what was going on. Besides.., why have THREE players approaching the Ref unless you're simply trying to confuse the Defense. Instead.., they confused the Officiating Crew as well... LMAO!!
If, If, If the refs were making a mistake, the Lions had opportunity to straighten things out before the snap of the ball, but they were good with the Cowboys not knowing they wanted 68 to be an eligible receiver. The Lions tried to confuse the refs, but the refs made the right call.
The ref knew he was telling him that he was eligible but immediately proceeded to ignore him on purpose
Looks that way to me.
lol cry a river
EFFF this SHish! Decker did what he was supposed to, the REF EFF'd up. Just like always, the refs Eff the Lions. Thank you SVP, don't let the REF squirm outta this one. It's on camera, the world saw the REFs give the game to the Cowboys!!!!!!

@@A7X062388the delusion to talk down on someone when you don't understand football rules and regulations. This isn't okay I'm glad cowboys will get the boot. NFL is just needing a bud light treatment
If anything, 70 didn't report in. He's running on at the last second, and doesn't get anywhere near the official. Especially in a loud stadium. They got way too cute, and didn't even have a timeout to set it up. Shoulda just kicked the extra point, or ran your best play. Not rushing guys in at the last second, trying to be tricky/confusing.
I'm not sure if the ref mixed up 68 and 70 on the call, but it's clear that 68 was standing in front of him, and 70 was no where near
I felt as if Parry was protecting the refs there, and the refs should be accountable if they didn't listen properly. I think the refs fouled this up big time, and they continue to be protected. Make the refs be accountable when they mess up is all I'm saying...💯
We just saw a live demonstration of straight up gaslighting by a former official to abdicate a fellow referee of any wrong doing.
That former ref is a pathetic shill. What did he and Allen think DECKER was doing approaching him? He wasn't there to talk about the weather.
the lions also contacted the refs informing them of this unusual play call. inaccusable. fire the refs and fire this clown on tv
Yep couldn’t agree more the reds should be able to own up to there mistake they shouldn’t need some guy on the television to back them up. It was there mistake they should take the blame
Ref should be required to go over the mic to announce who reported as eligible. This would clearly communicate to both teams and give the offense a chance to correct if a mistake was made by the officials.
Did
He did. The ref said 70 and no one from Detroit corrected him. Detroit was clearly trying to be deceptive and it backfired.
I think it's a LOT to ask both teams to be prepared at all times to correct the mistakes of the officials. They need to get it correct the first time.
The ref nodded to him
This dudes just straight up wrong by looking out for his officiating counterparts. It’s not on the lions, it’s on the refs, they should be fined for this
It is up to the players to report, it is their responsibility that they communicate to the ref LOL. DON'T send 3 Linemen to the ref at the end of a chaotic game if you want a specific player reported
The responsibility is in the player to report and that means be sure you’re understood. Seems like the Lions sent three lineman to the ref to try and confuse the Cowboys. #70 raises his hand before the snap to also confuse the Cowboys. Instead, they confused the ref
The whole Lion's team needs Drug testing for crying for loseing this game not cee dee lamb. 👈 😃
The video only shows two lineman approaching the ref. Allen clearly makes eye contact with #68, #70 was a good 7 yards away in a raucous stadium. I'm sure #70 said nothing - which he later tells reporters he said nothing. The ref got it wrong. @@sorenandrews1078
Ref doesn't pay attention and screws up a crucial call and it's on the player? Ref nodded and ran off, what else is Decker supposed to do? Grab him or follow him? Horrible take by a former ref covering for his horribly incompetent colleague.
NFL wanted Dallas to win. The call came down. Refs just doing what their bosses them tell to do.

Referees cost the NFL a lot of integrity of the games..it seems as if they have to much control of the outcome of very important implications...There should be no play or penalty that isn't reviewable especially when there is so much at stake
Does it though? Legal gambling means Vegas gets some modicum of power and profit.

@@sir.lancelot8338 How was the ref right? 70 was nowhere near when 68 reported. Ref acknowledged with a head nod.

Anyone that says it was a legit play is just a Cowboys defender. Shoot I even see Packers, Vikings, and Bears fans out on the web saying Lions got robbed. Only people defending refs are DAL fans.
Nobody talking about the phantom tripping call tho 🤣🤣🤣 the lions dont even see the ball again without that bs call
If the nfl had any integrity, they would change this game to the lions victory.
Kinda hard to do considering there were 23 seconds left and the the Lions were in an illegal formation anyways and the guy didn't even report. Go back to your mom's basement clown.
They cant, plus the lions had so many chances at a field goal. Instead they went for fourth downs and failed. It’s on the lions as much as the refs
Ref messed up by saying the wrong person reported. His error cost the deserving team a win.
Decker said that he went to the ref and all he said was "report". Report as what? Eligible? Ineligible? WTF. Skipper came running onto the field rubbing his number, which is the signal for reporting as eiligible. The ref was looking at Skipper pretty much the whole time. I don't think Decker made it clear what he meant by....."report".
Reply
the deserving team was the cowboys who were going up and down the field all night on the lions only to have boneheaded mistakes. That game should have been 30 to 10 but you all lucked out with an uncharacteristic lamb fumble and a phantom tripping penalty that even gave you guys that last shot to begin with. That game was over if the phantom tripping call didnt set the cowboys back 15 yards
Wikipedia says that the referee has to then announce to the entire stadium that a tackle has declared himself an eligible receiver.
It’s insane. 68 Decker is right in front of him. wtf?? This is what happens when the refs bet. Cowbums definitely got bailed out as usual by the officials. Lions got robbed, point blank
So what if he was in front of him! How many times has someone been in front of you, and you're focused on something else. Both the players and the refs assumed! It's all of their fault!

@moodlampActual it's up to that person to let officials know they are eligible or ineligible. Allen can't read their minds! They know the protocol! I would have made sure that the ref(s) knew my position! We can go on and on about this, but the coach had 3 times to kick an FG! He was trying to be sneaky, and it cost Lions the game!
@@letskeepitreal2409 you have no proof they didn't communicate that. You have no proof they didn't try to but Allen scurried away. The one that is responsible for being aware of everything pertaining to the rules and what's in his line of sight is the ref.

the refs have been ruining games for many years and the NFL Commission won't do a thing about it. I hope they meet again in the playoffs somehow and the Lions can get their justice.
The only justice they should seek is against the refs. Cowboys had nothing to do with the call. If ref had reported that 68 was eligible don’t you think they would’ve covered him? He wasn’t covered bc he was INELIGIBLE.
Cowboys had nothing to do with gaining this dub. You haven't seen the footage of 68 clearly going up to the ref and the ref nodding at him haven't you? Play catch up now@@Willthethrill478
@@TGfoever ok 🤡.
@@Willthethrill478 They tried to fool the cowboys and they did. The whole team can surround the ref but only 1 can report. Besides, Skipper wouldn't have lined up at right tackle of he reported himself in. The refs assumed it was him again after only 1 report in the entire game prior. They lined up right. They reported right as many of the footage shows starting with Jared Goff pointing for Decker to the ref and he did. It was the refs fault, period. If he was confused about which out of the 3 was reporting, he should've clarified it for himself so he could avoid this controversy and put himself of a risk of a fine, suspensions and possibly his job. His fault 100%. Oh and I don't see people talking about how Goff pointed to the ref for Decker to report and he threw it to him. It showed on film he knew who he was going to throw to Decker, not Skipper in an ineligible spot at right tackle

Everyone immediately goes to “they stole the game from Detroit, blah blah.” The refs screwed up the final sequence for both teams and that final play was just a mess. They announce 70 as eligible so the defense is not expecting 68 to be a receiver. We will never know what could have happened because the refs gave both teams no chance to play the final play correctly.
This
To me, this is the most alarming part. The lack of logical reasoning on the part of almost everyone commenting is even greater than the incompetent officiating. If the refs do it right, it's a completely different play. It should be plain as day that you can't take what the defense did when 70 was announced and assume they would do it the same way if 68 had been announced. But even it Lions convert, Dallas has 23 seconds, a timeout, and a kicker who has never missed a FG, including 9/9 from 50+. The story should be about bad officiating in general, including the "trip" that, if not called, entirely negates any chance Lions have. But here we are in 2024 where no one knows how to think...
