Congratulations to the Detroit Saints, I mean lions

Naw, you were right the first time, Detroit Saints. It doesn't erase it, nothing will, but it goes a little way to getting some revenge on the Rams.

So happy for their fans!

Was it a penalty, NO! Perfectly legal.

Did I say it was illegal? NO! It's still chicken sheet cause he had a clear shot to take him down from the waist and he made the choice to hit him at the knees.

Great Game!

… for more than just the score.

 

[Jesse Custer]

And CJCG???

CJ laid down some brutal hits that had the Rams wideouts a little hesitant.

 

[DaveXA]

I hate Collinsworth but he said that the defenseless rules are for high hits, so defenders are going low to avoid the penalty. Don't be shocked when basically every offensive player has a "strike zone".

I'm pretty sure I've seen defenseless receiver calls for hits like that because that can cause head and neck injuries when landing on the ground. But idk for sure if that's still a rule or whatever.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Seeing that fan crying hit me in the feels! I get it.

And CJGJ???

No

Well, i think he made a business decision. If it was a WR, I'd agree with you, but a big TE is much more likely to break a waist tackle or hit. You gotta hit a TE low to get them down.

I've followed the Lions since The Paper Lion was published. Alex Karras was a wild man!

It's kind of bitter sweet to see Stafford in the wrong uniform.

how great was it Rams fans were mad about the no call PI on Nacua on their last drive?
if called, they probably win the game, karma is a B.. lol

I believe it is a "strike zone" in the upper chest and head, and hitting the legs is legal. The intent of the rule is to eliminate forcible hits to the head and chest while the receiver is trying to catch a pass and not focused on an incoming defender.

Let's trade then. You give us your no-call and we'll give you ours.

Really, the TE has 30-40 pounds and a few inches in height. Trees go down from the bottom. How about just touch football rules for you. Can’t hit high, can’t hit low, knees to chest is the strike zone. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it chicken crap.

And, yes the defender made the correct choice in that situation.
