NFL Postseason Megathread: Playoffs in the Post-Orton Era

[MadBurgerMaker]

I'm also not IN Houston, but in one of the primary markets of the Cowboys, meaning I'm surrounded by their fuckhead fans. 

Detroit still gave up that TD pass.

E:  Haha nice they got a first down out of that mess

The NFL didn't give up that 3rd down TD pass just now.  That was all Lions.

But they did move them down the field with a number of suspect first down penalties, and they did kill the Lions drive by the bizarre picking up of a flag.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Probably actually noticed that Pettigrew's hands were all up in that LB's facemask.  Detroit then pulled a bitch move and didn't go for it on 4th and 1 inside Dallas territory, THEN their punter shanked the shit out of it, which resulted in pretty much the same (or better) field position for the Cowboys than if they had gone for it and didn't make it.

Detroit Lions football.

E: And for all the bullshit, they can STILL win it.

[Neil]

The cowardice was vintage Caldwell, but that was exactly the way they've called interference all year.

Easily could have been OPI.  It still didn't give Dallas any points.

What? 

Gee I wonder why Pettigrew's hands might have been on the defender's facemask? 



If the defender looked back to play the ball his facemask wouldn't have been anywhere near Pettigrew's hands.

OPI? 

[MadBurgerMaker]

I guess a facemask on Pettigrew would work too.  Your choice.  Why do you think that LB was knocking the hand away? 

[MadBurgerMaker]

That fumble must have been caused by the NFL too.

[Neil]

Well, this is a dark day for the legitimacy of football as a sport.

Also, MBM is decisively proven wrong by the video evidence. 

[MadBurgerMaker]

LOL you can see his hand in the LBs face right there at the beginning of the gif.  Don't grab the facemask, won't be a problem.

E:

And there it is.  The LB then knocked Pettigrew's hand off his face.

Chris Christie is a douchebag. If he runs for president footage of him jumping up and down trying to group hug Jerry Jones could be the most effective political ad since Johnson's Daisy ad against Goldwater.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Why was Christie even there?

[alfred russel]

Why was Christie even there?

Goodall told him "Chris, you have to learn how to effectively fuck over your opponents. That traffic jam? Amateurish. Fly out to Dallas, I'll put you in the booth with Jerry, and watch how it is done."

What part of the defender has to be playing the ball are you having difficulty grasping?
