The Lions just got screwed. Based on the rule, it's absolutely the right call. But screaming about the rule doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Wonder if a quarterback controversy will arise in Philly.

Yeah the Eagles only look about 100 times better with Vick in the game.

It's an awful rule.

Despite all the recent attention to concussions and promises that the NFL was taking the issue seriously, the Eagles put 2 players back out onto the field today within minutes of suffering concussions, one of which looked quite serious. That sort of behavior needs to be stopped. The NFL needs to have an independent doctor down on the sidelines with the authority to pull a player from the game if they appear to have suffered a concussion.

And the Dallas Cowboys suffer a crushing loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

I love that Wade Phillips is still the Head Coach of the Cowboys.

I love that Wade Phillips is still the Head Coach of the Cowboys. Phillips is least of their problems--he only is the DC--with a HC title. Jerry Jones runs that clown show and that arrogant little orphan Annie mofo Jason Garrett is their biggest problem on the coaching staff. Imagine a Princeton grad who coaches and gets too caught up in trying to outsmart people and thinking you get more credit then if you just go after an opponent with your strength until they stop it? Whoops--wrong place to point this out.

And anyone is going to look bad when your tackle is so inept he has to go John Cena on Orakpo on the last play.

JTIII has won post-season games in his coaching career. Several of them, in fact.
Comparison dead (however lightheartedly - or otherwise - intended).

Eyeball test - everyone who sees the play knows that's a catch. Even by the rule currently in place, I think that's a catch anyway.

As a Redskin fan and Cowboy hater of many years standing, I went from "oh, s*&t" to applauding in the space of about ten seconds. Daughter Rooter wanted to know if I was ok.
As for the Lions and the Bears, well, I guess it's ok for a running back to break the plane of the end zone, drop the ball, and get credit for a TD, but it's not ok for a wide receiver to clearly make a catch and get credit for a TD. Really, really bad rule.

Really, really bad rule. Agree 100% on both points. I'm just glad they flashed the "flag" graphic when they did, because the TV was about to get ripped off the wall.
