Completely disagree. If Tate is tackled inbounds and it's ruled not a touchdown, there's no way they get up to the line and run another play in less than 8 seconds. (Of course, I'm biased in the other direction...)Lions got JOBBED...then again it's Detroit, so not really.
I think it's more they got jobbed because the call was that he was in and there was no way they could conclusively say he was not...Completely disagree.

Yeah, but I don't think he got tackled inbounds. I thought the ball was clearly over the goal line when his knee touched down, and if it wasn't, it was way too damn close to overturn.Completely disagree.

Had possession, the ground knocked the ball loose, his elbow is down. How is it close?It's pretty close.

OK, that's fair enough. I did think it was clear that the ball was short of the goalline when Tate's knee scraped the turf, but I didn't think to look at was whether he was touched by a Falcons player before the knee bounced back up and he crossed the line.Yeah, but I don't think he got tackled inbounds.

The handing holding the ball hit the ground before the ball came out, which cannot cause a fumble. Plus his legs were down.It's pretty close.
When I saw it, it looked like Tate hadn't yet gained possession of the ball when his knee was down at first, then he lifted it up and completed the catch and was contacted, then he crossed the goal line, and then his knee went down again. So I thought it should have been a touchdown, and was waaaaay too close to definitively overturn it. Either way, congrats on a ridiculous win!OK, that's fair enough.

I said it was close to a fumble, I never said it was a fumble. I was responding to someone who said it wasn't even close to a fumble. It was close. Bang bang, in fact.The handing holding the ball hit the ground before the ball came out, which cannot cause a fumble. Plus his legs were down.
I was in too much shock and too busy texting friends to post about this.What a kick.
Fuck the Giants.
Not contract. Delegate.Please contract the chargers. Send them to the CFL
Yeah, thanks. Reminds me of the Snow Bowl game - I was listening to that on internet radio in my London apartment, and when Brady was sacked and the Raiders recovered I turned my computer off in frustration. Wasn't until the next morning that I learned the Pats had actually won! Today I had already started going through the five stages of grief and had resigned myself to the loss, when suddenly Walt Coleman started speaking...When I saw it, it looked like Tate hadn't yet gained possession of the ball when his knee was down at first, then he lifted it up and completed the catch and was contacted, then he crossed the goal line, and then his knee went down again.

Seriously.Sherman having a complete meltdown on the field and it is glorious.
Good call, but why didn't you include Pittsburgh, too, nastradamus?Gonna enjoy watching the early overreactions to Denver and Baltimore knocked down a peg today
I think he hit his teammate harder than he hit Mariotta.Gotta toss Sherman, he almost killed Mariota OB.
While that is true, he also hit Mariotta square in the helmet with his helmet.I think he hit his teammate harder than he hit Mariotta.
Even worse than the game ending call in the Lions game. No idea what the ref was thinking. Brutal call.Wow, fucking brutal call on the Titans punt return. That's awful
Nobody is disputing the 10 second runoff rule. The dispute is whether or not he was down before the ball crossed the goal line. That's really not a rule that's questionable.the refs didn't rob Detroit, the rulebook did. refs called it exactly right
You forgot a couple letters. ImpotentSeattle's offense is POTENT.
