    Watching the Lions Texans game and holy crap, they just gave the Texans a 81 yard TD run....


    Worst refs on the planet.

    No doubt it was a bad no call but in real time it looked like he might not have been down.

    The true idiot there was Jim Schwartz for throwing a challenge flag on an issue that's not reviewable by a coach's challenge. Doing that precluded a booth review of the TD and handed the score to the Moo Cows.

    I watched that play & the whole thing is a travesty. Terrible no-call by the refs and an even more terrible rule regarding the challenges. What is the point of that rule? If all scoring plays are reviewed, why do they care if a coach mistakenly tries to challenge it? It seems like a purely spiteful rule, and a terrible technicality which cost the Lions the game.

    Agreed; if the intent of the rule is to prevent a coach from wasting time, then call a delay of game penalty. There is absolutely no logic to negating the review.

    If people don't believe NFL refs cheat, go back and watch the calls in the Saints-49ers game. A Saints' WR is tackled and it's NOT pass intereference. A Saints' WR is pushed and it's called offensive pass interference. A Saints' DB is tackled just before having a great chance at an interception and there's NO call.

    It's crap! It's blatant! It's what I expected from the Commissioner this season.
