Texans @ Lions

[mike030270]

After Jags took Texans to overtime, Lions must be feeling a lot better about facing them than they did a couple weeks ago.

[EagleJoe8]

I think that Jags game was a bit of a fluke. Texans should be better today, although with Jonathon Joseph out, it could make for a big day for Megatron.

[mike030270]

Damn, a sack on the first play

[EagleJoe8]

Lions moving well early.

[EagleJoe8]

1st and goal Lions.

[EagleJoe8]

TD Texans.

[EagleJoe8]

Lions answer back. Up 14-7.

[Dawkins 20]

Good game so far. Could easily be 14-0 or worse. That ball on the punt return definitely hit the Texans player.

[EagleJoe8]

Wow, what a catch by AJ!

[EagleJoe8]

Houston ties it back up at 14.

[EagleJoe8]

Wow, great TD catch by Megatron!

[Dawkins 20]

Really enjoying this game so far.

[EagleJoe8]

My pick isn't looking good for this game.

He was down.

Jim Schwartz just F'd his team.

[mike030270]

Lol you can barely hear the announcers from the boos. Funny as hell he threw a challenge flag

[Dawkins 20]

That was an awful call.

[CaliEagle]

Simms has it wrong. It's not reviewable because Schwartz threw the challenge flag. It has nothing to do with there not being a whistle.

Correct. If no challenge flag, it's reviewed automatically.

That rule is weird.

[gibsonplyer]

That's all on their coach being a moron.

Now Simms has it right.

Yeah, after the league office corrected him.

This. But the rule is difficult. Remember when AR was penalized for throwing the challenge flag the first season the rule was in? Lots of coaches made that mistake that season. Guess some coaches still forget about it.

[CaliEagle]

It's a stupid rule.  It doesn't slow the game down when a coach calls a challenge on a TD because they are going to review it anyway.

This is what happens when they change 400 rules every offseason. It takes one big incident for everyone to learn their lesson.

[EagleJoe8]

Damn Watt is good!

I agree. Just tell the coach he can't challenge and be done with it.

[Froggy]

I missed the action in real time...what the hell happened? I saw the play itself...why wasn't it reviewed like every other TD? Because Schwartz threw a challenge flag? Haven't seen that rule implemented before

Exactly. It doesn't slow down the game any more than the moronic pushing and shoving after the whistle.

Better yet. Take away that challenge, since they've illegally used it. But they should still challenge the play, since it was a scoring play. It's like a child's mentality: "I was going to do it anyway. But since you told me to do it, I'm not going to do it, just to spite you." No reason to directly affect the outcome of a game just for the sake of being proper.
