his elbow was down and the ball was short. I wanted him to be in....Stafford is my fantasy football qb.

He was down but the bullshite part was the run off. I can understand a run off on a penalty but on a god damn review is laughable.


If he had been called down and there was no replay, then the lions would have had to lineup and get a snap off in 8 seconds from the moment he was down. That's almost impossible, which is why they have the runoff. You can't just stop the clock for them b/c it's a replay. Had there been no replay, the game would have ended anyway with him down b/c they would have never lined up and got a snap off in time.

The fact that we are disputing this proves that it was not indisputible evidence.


I think you've nailed it here.

This is so stupid people are using stillshots showing his knee didn't touch. Watch the replay on slow mo and you can clearly see his knee bounce off the ground before the endzone.

Who cares? We all now how this ends. The Falcons luck will run out and they will choke on the largest stage they attain. Happens every year.

I think the picture clearly shows he is down. Doesn't have to be an elbolw or knee. His shin is defiantly down. Also the 10 sec runoff has to be in play not only bc it would screw the defense in this situation bc they would never get another play off if he had been ruled down but also for the opposite situation. Imagine if they had stopped him and it was ruled so but close so they stopped clock for a replay to check and then let them run another play bc of no run off. That would be ridiculous

The Lions did it 27 yards downfield in 7 seconds last year

It is not impossible as teams have done it (especially that close to the goal line). However, it is the rule.
