I saw on the field goal before that, a guy was inches from blocking it. I knew if he lined it up right he could block it, the guy is 6 foot 7

Only in Cleveland is defeat snatched from the jaws of victory
The Harbaugh brothers are now 1-1 this season for walk-off blocked punts/field goals.
To me the difference is that one is borderline insane. He even tops Les Miles.
That was embarrassing for Patriots fans. He is such a baby.
Calls go both ways. The Patriots have had their fair share of favorable calls. That dude needs to "man up".

I do find it ironic that he is claiming injustice given last years shenanigans...

Every hit he took, he looks at the ref before he even stands up hoping for a flag. He really is a bigger baby than I thought before. And yeah, calls to both ways. And Denver has 4 pro-bowl players out of the game too, I'm sick of hearing about the pats injuries.
The Packers are gettin' whooped so far
What a finish !!

Mother Mary granted the Packers a discount double check.
:rotfl: That's genius
Come again?
Even if you can't tell during the super slow motion for some reason, the crooked helmet, the chip strap across the face and the head snap motion are your clues.

I saw it in slow motion during the game, and he only slid his hand over it.
"Facemask rule, as written, wasn’t violated by Lions.
The video evidence makes it clear that there was no violation.
No player shall grasp and control, twist, turn, push, or pull the facemask of an opponent in any direction,” Rule 12, Section 2, Article 14 states.
The rule comes with an important caveat: “If a player grasps an opponent’s facemask, he must immediately release it. If he does not immediately release it and controls his opponent, it is a foul.”
Lions defender Devin Taylor grazed the facemask of Aaron Rodgers, at best. If there was any grasping (and there wasn’t), Taylor immediately released the facemask."

Like I said.... bad calls go both ways.
Sometimes it works in your favor and sometimes in doesn't.
Great finish to a game. I still don't know why the Lions didn't have a guy playing in front of the pack during the Hail Mary.

And Green Bay certainly had a bad call in Seattle. Now their karma is balanced.
Clearly not. You don't think Rodgers is scanning the field behind the line of scrimmage do you?
And he didn't, pulling Rodgers' head. Understand, I have no vested interest in this game. That is just what happened.

So you disagree with the opinions of so many sport writers that are picking this apart and reviewing the video and saying "no foul"?
Whatever. I don't have a dog in this hunt either, but it looks to me like Detroit was robbed. And for sure I'm not the only one.
