Week Eighteen: Detroit Lions (8-8) @ Green Bay Packers (8-8)

[RandyMarsh]

It'll get overturned, they'll say he didn't have complete control before going out of bounds. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

FUMBLE!!! John Cominsky with the strip.

[lordstanley]

Hmm, will the league let the Lions keep the ball here?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Nevermind, this is the Lions, the refs will overturn this. Someone's pinky toe was probably out of bounds.

[holygoat]

This will be overturned, right?

[Aar000n]

Get at least a field goal 

[1984Echoes]

Brilliant play by Alim McNeil !!!

[Mr.TaterSalad]

JESUS. Green Bay is going to get the ball right back.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Why didn't they call timeout?

[mtutiger]

What was that?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

WTF??? How can Douglas touch the ball like that?

Edit, ok, that was a penalty. Good.

Defense looking good anyways. Keep playing strong guys and send Rodgers packing.

That was weird.  It’s like when a spectator just jumps onto the stage and grabs the mic out of the hands of the singer or speaker.

Thank you, Douglas for the stupid penalty

[Jason_R]

Man that was beyond a stupid penalty. It was inexplicable. Like someone check his meds because it seems like he's hearing voices.

O-Line needs a 2nd half adjustment that's going to give Goff a little more time. 

[mtutiger]

The fumble and well, whatever that was from Douglas, is the kinda thing that costs a team some ballgames

you say hearing voices like it's a bad thing.    Only thing that keeps the loneliness at bay for me

I'm still not certain if the flag thrown was for Douglas just walking up and knocking the ball away from the center. I don't see how the line can be set, ready to call a play, and then an opposing player can just walk up at the line of scrimmage and touch the ball like that. That action itself has to be a penalty. Only the official can set the ball and then the center can touch it pre snap once it's set.

To Collinsworth's point about seeing something new every week, nothing tops this, not even Rasul Douglas

It looks like they weren't even going to do anything about that, it wasn't until Douglas was caught retaliating a Skipper push when they threw the flag.

By the way the adolescent in me can't help but giggle a bit inside when I see the road team with a score of 6 and home team 9.

I wasn't watching, can someone post the Douglas play please?    I will give you 40 cents 

[Motor City Sonics]
