He also has said in the past he has taken the points(i think he said he did it once or twice) instead of the first down. The intentional grounding call wasn’t called because a niners receiver was within a few yards of the ball. Yes it didn’t make the line of scrimmage, but a receiver was definitely in the area coming back to the QB, and I am a Lions fan. The refs missed a delay of game on the first touchdown pass. The second touchdown was result of a pass interference that happened on a play that was snapped after the quarter ended. Who knows what would’ve happened if those plays didn’t happen. 49ers probably at least still get field goals, but who knows. As a Lions fan I like how our defense played(besides the last 49ers series.) Defensive line looked like advertised, secondary played resonably well for having 3 of our 4 starts out. The loss is on Stafford, in my opinion. He missed open recievers, missed easy passes, not really sure what happened on his interception. Stafford plays like he normally does and the Lions win that game, he was just off for some reason and it wasn’t the defense. The Lions offensive line held up really well and gave him plently of time to throw all game and receivers were getting open, he was just missing them. Hope to see the 49ers again in January.

Why would they do anything to stop the Niners from winning?

Yeah, good call. I watched the replay and it was clear that there was a WR right under where Alex threw the ball. Perfect no call.

I’m assuming I don’t understand the rule.

Smith was between the tackles, even though he was about 30 yards away from the line of scrimmage.

You kidding me. Every coach in the league would have done the same thing.

He threw the ball away, but it never made it to the line of scrimmage. No penalty called.

Of course the 49ers took the first down. What an odd post.

That’s about as conventional as it gets.
