You would think that they could see in the replay which guy was reporting and who wasn’t but I’m positive that Troy and buck said that was 68 lined up already . That’s why people are confused

They try to cover for the refs sometimes but airman usually doesnt

So basically the Lions lost the 2 seed because Brad Allen reported the wrong player as eligible.

I didn’t watch postgame I just went by what it looked like live and what the announcers and booth ref were saying and it looked like skipper ran up and reported and that 68 was on the line of scrimmage.

So I guess the guy that Troy and buck showed on the los really wasn’t 68?



#58 & #68 were already on the field for the TD. They both walked over to the official before the play. I’m guessing to clarify that #58 would be ineligible and #68 would be eligible. Probably because they could be easily confused. #70 runs on to the field and says something to #58 and # 68, never interacts with official. Presumably because he’s lining up inside of #68 and does not have to report as ineligible.

They line up with #68 as inline TE. He’s uncovered. Legal formation. Legal play.

Official fricks up and says #68 didn’t report.

They said two other fouls could have been called but it seems they may be debunking that as well

Tim Twentyman @ttwentyman Dan Skipper said he did not report as eligible to the officials on the 2pt play that got called back. Decker said he reported


I rewound several times. There would have been no need for Skipper to report because he wasn’t even the last guy on the line on that side. #58 was. Colossal screw job

All of the Lions are just trying to avoid fines at this point.

ETA: Nevermind. Goff just flat out said the refs fricked up who reported and who didn’t. Good for him.

They shouldn’t fine him for that unless he implies that they cheated, in my opinion.

They all reported but who would actually be eligible?

I don’t think 70 ever said anything to the official. He was lining up a guard so there’s no reason for it.

More likely he just checked with 68 that he had already reported. He ran up to his two teammates, not the official.

Still waiting on a still shot of the formation, if 70 lined up as a guard why is he chasing the ref?

They clearly said 70 reported

68 didn’t have to

Two players can’t/don’t have to report

Or the even worse option. The refs really did think both reported and that two aren’t allowed to report when really two are allowed to report.

Imagine if this frick ups because they didn’t know the rules

He wasn’t chasing the ref. He went and talked to his teams mates and then ran to the huddle or LOS in the general direction of the official.

They royally screwed up, but football really does have some pretty obscure/convoluted rules compared to other sports.
