These refs are inventing penalties 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

I thought they could reverse the call via replay, they did it at the Texans - Chiefs game (check replay for a potential penalty).

[Gorgoroth 13,097]

Horrible call by the Ref. 

Another rule they need to change, or at worse be able to challenge.

I guess they are not that different to our AFL umpires. Aren't they told to only call what they can see?

Didn't they review a flag during the Texans - Chiefs game? At least I remember Aikman and the other commentator mention it.

Some calls the replay centre can call down, facemask isn't one of them it seems

The scoring has been great but both defenses bog average

The difference being the 3 turnovers in Washington's favour

neither of these teams can win a SB. they will have to rely on their defence at some point to win and as we have seen both very porous.

i don;t know the rules but i assume you can only really challenge completions, where ball grounded etc. i can;t remember seeing a referee decision overturned.

Not a challenge but a calle from upstairs, officials review.

Me watching Dan Quinn competing against the Lions, should have replaced Big Mike last season.

12 players on D on a 4th and 2… ouch

Cost them a TD after gifting Washington a first & goal

Shocking error!

That might be the game

[BDA 22,946]

the lions sideline was trying to call a player off the filed. just call a timeout. not good management

[BDA 22,946]

whats this. 

another pick

lions done 

[ElDiablo14 5,007]

Lions wanted to be the smart guys now they are the fools.

[Gorgoroth 13,097]

lol, interception with Williams throwing into a 1 on 1 favouring the defender. 
 

This game is done if Washington can take a few mins off the clock and not turn it over.

[JV7 2,364]

Ben Johnson getting a little too smart… Trick play at that stage of the game, really ?

[Macca 17,073]

It's all coming apart for the Lions

A 15 & 2 season looking like it's down the drain after committing 5 costly errors vs Washinton's zero errors

[BDA 22,946]

Daniels has the makings of a very good player. great temperament for a rookie

So different to the Chiefs, bad offence but I think they are on a 8 game streak with zero turnovers.

[Macca 17,073]

The Washington defence has been much better in the 2nd half 

They were 5th in yards allowed in the regular season ... we sometimes see a team that gets 🔥 in the playoffs and it might be the Commanders

[ElDiablo14 5,007]

That's the game.

[Gorgoroth 13,097]

I get it now!!!

Dan Quinn was saying to the Vikes, see you in two weeks… on holidays!

5 errors is 5 too many for a no.1 seed.  No excuses, none

I didn't mind the trick play because that defines who the Lions are

But to allow the opposition 45 points on your home field is diabolical.  Their defense was their achilles-heel going into the playoffs ... and it has played out that way

Offense commits the errors placing extra pressure on a dodgy defence

It's not quite over but the fat lady is warming up
