[mariowillshine15]

Just run it down their throats

 

[Doppelganger]

im sorry, detroit played on sunday too.. yea we played an extra quarter.. youre either ready to play or youre not..

You don't have to like my opinion...I just told you what I saw.

 

[BullBlitz]

I don't like winning through bad officiating, but against this dirty Lions team, it's entertaining as hell.

Luckiest team in football this year!

 

[SmoochyTX]

Nice play with Martin!

 

[417Texan]

wow diverse play calling

 

[mariowillshine15]

The end around works every time with Martin. Never did with Jacoby that i could remember.

 

[Showtime100]

I don't care, it happens to all teams. Screw 'em. I think it's just what the doctor ordered.

it wasn't bad officiating. They are taught to be slow on whistles. It would've come back through the td scoring review process. That's on Schwartz. He put those points on the board for us plain and simple.

 

[ChrisG]

Nice speed by Martin getting around the corner. I think he was working on his speed this week after getting run down by a punter, LOL j/k

 

[Showtime100]

Besides, karma's a *****. Detroit is dirty, not just Suh.

 

[ChrisG]

late hit by lineman on our RB, no call

 

[TexCanada]

Late hits all over the place.

 

[mariowillshine15]

So it's ok for the lineman to just toss Forsett way after the play? F these guys.

 

[ChrisG]

draw coming again?

nope

 

[417Texan]

Wow missed pass int call again

 

[playa465]

late hit by lineman on our RB, no call

All over the place!!

 

[Showtime100]

This is iffy for Graham.

 

[76Texan]

Don't re-disappear now D

 

[PapaL]

24-24 and we've slept thru the entire game.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

He was down, but there was no contact by the Lions D WHILE he was down. Therefore no whistle..

The defender caused him to go down though.

But he was down BY contact.

No! This is what I am trying to relate. From the NFL rule book.

Contact by an opponent (called down by contact) where the opponent tackles the runner by pushing him, grasping him and pulling him to the ground, sliding into his legs, or touching him in any manner prior to any part of the runner other than his hands or feet touching the ground. Unlike the use of the word tackle in other sports, if the opposing player fails to down the ball carrier, it is merely an attempted tackle. If the ball carrier falls onto another player but he doesn't make contact with the ground, he can still get up and keep playing. A player on the ground is not considered part of the ground.

 

[Showtime100]

Lost in all of this was Forsette's lack of quit on the play. If he was down, he was down, but he kept going.

 

[ChrisG]

24-24 and we've slept thru the entire game.

Mayb we got too used to the early season blow outs. I miss them now LOL

 

[TejasTom]

Are we going to get a pi called today?

#51 just clocked our guy after the whistle. This is BS.

Not after that TD. Dont expect any Det penalties from here on out

 

[Showtime100]

2010. We made up groud until the defense took the field again.

 

[ChrisG]

illegal block

 

[Mailman]

Hilarious how apoplectic the fans are. That was an obvious penalty.

 

[417Texan]

When did the tackling get so bad?

 

[mariowillshine15]

Ugh this defense

 

[The Third Man]

Weak ass tackling. The defense has taken a step back.

 

[Mailman]

And the atrocious tackling trend continues.

 

[fikster]

Manning is starting to get on my nerves with all this stripping stuff. put their butts on the turf first

 

[Texas T]

Ugh this defense

how the hell did they not get Hill on the ground-three of our defenders on him.

 

[PapaL]

We really are missing Cushing. D hasn't played the same since he went down.

 

[TexanSam]

I hope the last two games give the defense a wake up call.

 

[2012Champs]

When did the tackling get so bad?

When trying to strip the ball is your largest priority

 

[fikster]

how the hell did they not get Hill on the ground-three of our defenders on him.

rather strip it than tackle. terrible.

 

[Doppelganger]

Manning is starting to get on my nerves with all this stripping stuff. put their butts on the turf first

He is starting to become Pollard 2.0.

 

[Texas T]

I hope the last two games give the defense a wake up call.

the last game should have done that...

 

[playa465]

Remember Steve Smith a few years ago...

 

[Thorn]

What's wrong with these guys? They forget how to tackle?

 

[mariowillshine15]

We really are missing Cushing. D hasn't played the same since he went down.

Not just his talent but his intensity. These guys play with no fire except Watt.

 

[TheMatrix31]

I didn't care much about this game but **** it. **** these fans, thug players, and these morons claiming we're being gifted this game.

 

[hradhak]

Defense is really playing down a notch. We look sloppy

Wade's D has done a piss poor job the last 2 games.

 

[mariowillshine15]

This defense sucks.

 

[ChrisG]

They are putting out 3-4 WRs so we have to drop someone back into coverage. That is buying Stafford lots of time.

Also not to mention our secondary has been terrible

Wow Wade needs to step up his game up.

 

[Rey]

Defense is pathetic.
