Judging by this refs history I think it’s reasonable to say he’s just a dog shit ref and he should not be given any benefit of doubt.

you are assuming 58 and 68 have been acknowledged or even said anything.  he's not even looking at them. why do people keep doing this?

dumbass aggy coach and Goff were probably happy 70 got announced as eligible.  "this is great, they think 70 is eligible our super secret squirrel play will work"

dumbasses just like McCarthy.

McCarthy’s pass play on 2nd down was a fire-able offense, IMHO. Run the freaking ball there and force a TO. I almost have to believe the free rusher made Dake just throw it OOB where 3 was running the route. Nothing else about it makes sense otherwise.

judging by the fact that Detroit is coached by aggy you can assume he fucked it all up by thinking he is smart and tricky when he really is a dumbass aggy.

The official clearly announced 70 as eligible. At that point, Detroit has to correct it or 68 isn’t eligible.

The official clearly fucked up and called the wrong number eligible. The Lions players were huddled up to call the next play when ref announced it. 

 

Why do people need to be convinced that a referee fucked up? No one is blaming the Cowboys, ffs. 

[Surly Bevo 25742]

Both of these teams are coached by dumbasses, none of this controversy matters.  The NFC North is dogshit this year, and they played that NFC South which is catshit wrapped in dogshit....and the Cowboys are still the fucking Cowboys, same as it ever was since the 90s.

You think it's more believable 58 and 68 just walked over to him for kicks? Right before the biggest play of the game?

If they walked over there but didn't say anything, or didn't get the ref's attention/get in his face to tell him, "Hey! I AM ELIGIBLE!", it would be stupid, but would explain how it happened.

Your bias is showing. Video evidence supports everything Dan Campbell and the players are saying. 

That doesn't mean the Cowboys are Satan, or the Cowboys suck, or there is a pro-Cowboys conspiracy. It's just using common sense directing all the blame at that ref.

I'd rather Dez Bryant got credit for fucking catching the pass, because he actually caught the damn pass, but the refs always screw Dallas when they're playing the Wisco meat stuffers in the playoffs.

Let's break this down one more time. 

#68 is in the huddle. Goff tells him to go report (there is video of this). 70 is running on to the field towards the ref, who is talking with 68. The ref walks away before 70 can even go "fake" report to him, which was their plan.

Players tell the ref “I’m reporting as eligible”. Then the ref reports it to the defense

Dumbass ref still insisting that 70 reported to him as eligible when 70 never gets near him.  Just admit you made a mistake shithead and stop digging your hole deeper.

And when the Cowboys gets screwed over by the refs, like saying Dez Bryant didn't catch the ball, it's suddenly NOT an "egregious" error by the refs.

Good fucking grief. 

The ref is nodding and acknowledging 68. Maybe the ref caught a glance of 70's number at last second and his brain melted and reported 70 on accident. Honestly, I think it's likely that happened. 

But. The. Ref. Fucked. Up.

you can't tell if he is acknowledging 68 or 70 who is running straight at him, basically in the same line as 68,and then peels off. 70 had also reported eligible a few times previously.  not sure if he did it by running on the field like that though.

why is 58 there also?

[Texzilla58 4791]

Yes - all 68 had to do was say “hey ref I’m here and eligible” just a wave/acknowledgment? But all tv said was 70 was eligible?

Hook’em!!!

Regardless of whether 68 was covered or not, 70 reported eligible and was covered up, which drew the second flag on the play. Lions fucked it up.

Please show me where 70 gets close enough to the ref to tell him he’s reporting as eligible.  Post a screen shot please. I’ll wait.

Because you have to win the argument and only showing the snippets that prove your point and not the parts that prove you wrong helps to do that. (I’m guilty of the same thing).

huh he gets about 10 feet from him and the ref points at him.  he could easily be saying he is eligible. Also, the ref says 70 reported eligible previously in the game.  would be interesting to see what he did in those cases.

That's not what they called though. They said 68 didn't report, which he clearly did and he did so before 70 got to the ref. We got handed a gift.

70 reported and liked up ineligible, hence the second flag.

the other interesting thing is that you could easily say that the receiver on the right is not covering 58 which would be a penalty along with 5 in the backfield.

Second flag is irrelevant if official initially calls wrong player number. Formation was fine if ref didn’t botch the eligible player call.

There are plenty of videos of Allen looking right at Skipper as Skipper is running on the field directly at Allen. Then he points at Skipper, then he nods, then he tells the Cowboys that 70 reported as eligible. 

And yes the Lions screwed up because they caused there to be confusion in the first place. They were trying to confuse the Cowboys about who was reporting eligible by having Skipper yell at the ref as he ran on the field while Decker tried to quietly tell the ref he was reporting. The screwup is that there is no fucking point to doing that because the referee tells the defense the number that has reported eligible. Campbell completely Aggied up the situation. All they had to do was have 68 and only 68 walk up to the ref but they tried to get cute for no reason whatsoever.

Holy fucking shit. Postgame, 70 said he never said a word to the ref on that play. You can actually seem him make that argument on the sidelines as well. 

This was a DESIGNED play. These players practiced it. They know their duties. It was so planned that Campbell discussed it with the refs BEFORE the goddamn game. It was a bit of gamesmanship that 3 OL were supposed to go up to the ref to confuse Dallas. Is it necessary? I don't now. Is it stupid? Maybe. Who fucking cares. That is no the issue, dude.

If the fucking ref did his job and reported 68 correctly, maybe the Cowboy defense doesn't pay close attention and properly defend 68. That's what Detroit is probably hoping for. Maybe if the fucking ref did his job and reported 68, maybe Dallas D defends him well and picks off the ball for a 2 point return and they win by 3. I don't fucking know. 

All is know is THE REF FUCKED UP.  T

He  was lined up 2 down from the center (in left tackle position) on the line of scrimmage and then had a receiver on that side also on the line. If the receiver is on the line, any other player also on the line inside of that receiver on that side of the ball is ineligible.

Yeah, when I looked at that I thought he was lined up too close to the line and wasn't far back enough. If he was on the line, which it looked like, the tackle was not eligible, regardless of reporting. If the WR wasn't supposed to be on the line, it could have been penalized for illegal formation. A lot of that stuff gets overlooked, but it seems more and more there is a lot of gray area about what they will let go, and what they end up  calling at certain times. Refs need to be more consistent, and players need to be coached to line up properly.
