They got robbed by their doing because they failed to save a time out to stop the clock in such a scenario.

As the saints fans claim, the knee is not down, no falcon is touching him, and the ball is across the goal line. Take a closer look.

I'm a saints fan and he was down after seeing the freeze frame.
No worries, this weekend was a Vegas killer. They made some big money as they always do a couple weekends out of the regular season
Saints with the fools gold today. Still don't believe in them.

Well, this thread delivered.

To clarify, my issue is with the runoff rule. Not that Tate was down because clearly he was. Granted I didn't like the Lions playcalling at the 1 yard line.
Refs made the decision to review the play. It wasn't 4th down and there was 8 seconds left. You review the play, say he was short, reset the ball and start the clock back. That is the most logical solution. You asshats saying "that's why you don't use all your timeouts" are making a silly argument. A team shouldn't be penalized for not having a TO left. The NFL shouldn't feel satisfied with the ending result of that game. THAT is why I say the Lions were robbed.

Sure, but an automatic runoff is an advantage for Atlanta. The point of the runoff is because the NFL assumes that it takes a team 10 seconds to to get to the line to run a play. We all know what assuming does. It doesn't take 10 seconds to move up and run a play. If you're moving up from a 50-yard completion, sure, hell it could probably take longer than 10 seconds, but we're talking about a no-gain completion here where the entire team is already near the line of scrimmage.
There shouldn't be a blanket rule for this kind of situation.
Imagine if that were the NFC championship game. We're gonna let Atlanta move through to the Superbowl because of that technicality? Christ. I couldn't imagine the outrage.

Your first proposal won't work. You're screwing Atlanta by giving Detroit a free timeout.

There shouldn't be a runoff after a required review. Period.
The runoff was created to stop "fake timeouts" for things like faking injury and offensive penalties.
I seriously doubt they thought about the impact it might have on a late game review when they made the rule.

That seems much better than what happened. Much more equitable. Good job.

A free timeout is better than a free win.....
There is no perfect rule, but this seems worse than the possibility of giving a team a timeout

I'm fine with the way it turned out.

I'm sure you are. I was pulling for the Lions.

The worse case scenario for the current rule is what happens Sunday
The worst case for no runoff is a bad review in which a team gets an undeserved timeout
Situation 1 just feels dirtier to me
