Seahawks should Have kicked off through the end zone there. Clock would have stayed at 2:01. Two minute warning and two timeouts could have been given them ball back with 1;45 to go in OK field position if came up with a stock. Now with the failed onside, at worst Pittsburgh can run around 50 seconds off the clock and give it back deep in Seattle territory.

2-2 after 2. The Wings have played the Bruins well this season.

The Wings may have tied it. Or maybe not. These review lengths are ridiculous.

Just when it looked like the Wings were going to get through a period scoreless, amd right after a great individual effort by Raymond, the Bruins race down the ice, score on a backhand, and Lyon gets injured in the process. I don’t think the Bruins player did anything wrong, Lyon made a bad guess on what the Bruin was going to do

Beating a dead horse, maybe, but a full 28 seconds of celebration before we are notified of the flag! Not sure when they actually threw it, but presumably just a few seconds before. I already hate that when a goalie is scored or a runner is tagged out or a TD is scored I now need to wait a few seconds for challenges or flags. But 28 seconds?!?! This further proves to me that Ryan was confused and is now lying. If telling the truth and he grasped what was going on, he would have thrown the flag a second after Decker caught it.

Miami has lost by 28 to Buffalo. 14 to Philly, and 37 to Baltimore.

Crap, really wanted the Rams to lose, push them down to #7 seed or even out. Away from the Lions. You have a 1st down at the 35 with plenty of time, you’ve got to do better than a 54 yard FG attempt. Could have run a normal play on 1st down and spiked it on a later down if necessary.

Stupid spike by the Giants. This is basic stuff.

Eagles are booed off the field after 35-31 loss to the Cardinals. Lions can’t be the #1 seed, as the Niners defeated Washington. Baltimore up 30 (!) on Miami. Niners and Ravens are a cut above the rest of the NFL, but the Lions are as good as anyone after that, IMO.

Taylor and Barkley mess up a wide open 2 pt conversion play that would have given the Giants a late lead over the Rams.

The Eagles are 34 seconds away from losing by 4 to Arizona at home. So #2 seed might still be in play ..barely.

I was driving around this morning and flipping around to various radio broadcasts of today's slate of 1pm game. During the Giants-Rams game, a player had to report and the announcer said he needs be to extra careful when doing so and maybe get it in writing from the ref, "after last night's debacle in Dallas".

There's a clip on X of the Cowboys radio broadcast and you can hear the P.A's announcement of 70 on that.

As annoyed as we all are, imagine if the Lions hadn't yet clinched the NFC North last night and this call went against them.

Skipper wasn't even one of the two people in the conversation the reporter is asking about.

Lol, raw “sports commentary” that always cracks me up. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM6yQkg7k/

Harsh headline by ESPN.com

We know that the NFLhas access to microphones that would have picked up what was said to the refs and could produce it if they wanted to, right?

No I disagree with that thinking. It’s like when a good goal would be waved off against the Wings in playoff overtime and people would say they had other chances to win. When you’re playing a high calibre opponent on the road, no one can be expected to win comfortably or with points and plays to spare. That’s why they call football a game of inches.

I would agree after seeing this.

I don’t really disagree. I was still excited about going for it the 2nd and 3rd time, just not as going ho as I was the second time. Another point. 23 seconds to go with Dallas having its timeouts and an awesome kicker wouldn’t have been a total gimme. Kickoff, Dallas gets it with 23 seconds to go. Get to the Lions 45 and they probably win it. So 3 enough time for throws downfield, anywhere in the field, to pick up about 35 yards.

Or does he mean he explained it to Decker pre-game in case the situation arose.

Remember also, for OT, Dallas has a much better kicker than the Lions. And if all the Lions had managed was a tie after 10 minutes, that would have knocked them out of the 2 seed anyways.

They lost by 1 point to a 10-5 team that we are told NEVER loses at home. With a defense that I thought would get lit up holding Dallas to 20 points. Hell, this may have been their 2nd most impressive game all year after the KC game. I feel better about this team’s chances than I did 4 hours ago. Dallas had just as many chances to have won more easily - the first interception, the touchback, passing instead of burning clock, letting the Lions offense go 75 yards in a minute.
