You gotta let the punt returner catch the damn ball.

dont think so. phil simms said he did but he's a retard

[darrell74]

give Logan credit for recovering the fumble

heard that coconut split in half

[onlooker]

You have to give the returner a chance to catch it.

The official stated the wrong penalty.

[JerseyRobby]

Defenseless receiver? A punt returner is a receiver? WTF?

If he leads with his shoulder and doesn't lead with his helmet like an idiot he would have been fine. It wasn't a split second decision like a guy coming across the middle he had all day to line him up.

I thought as soon as the ball touched his hands you could hit him? How long you gotta wait? Seemed perfectly timed.

[darrell74]

hit to the head, plain and simple

[hels]

Why would you run out of bounds stopping the clock and not picking up the extra yard?

[JerseyRobby]

You have to give the returner a chance to catch it.

No he didn't they got him for hitting the head of a defenseless receiver. The guy didn't call for a fair catch so he was fair game. Nance and Simms jumped the gun with the wrong call and everybody follows.

[Cuse0323]

WTF are they doing, get in FG range.

[hels]

Are the Lions trying to lose this game?

Oh thanks.

[JerseyRobby]

Are the Lions trying to lose this game?

Pretty much gave up 6 points on the past two possesions.

[darrell74]

another clutch sack by JJ Watt

[teaserpleaser]

name me a better defensive end than jj watt

That's not what the ump said. He said the returner was a "defenseless receiver". I guess I just never knew the punt returner was a receiver. I thought if the hit came right after the ball touches his hands then it's fine.

[Cheme82]

Texans by 1 to 4 would equal an awesome middle for me, let's go!

[JerseyRobby]

JPP is up there but that's about it

[sportfan]

Get sacked twice outta fg range

[Cuse0323]

Lions get in the edge of FG range twice and don't even run the ball once to get a few more yards. One FG and they could have wrapped it up but now they're gonna be tied again.

[JerseyRobby]

That's not what the ump said. He said the returner was a "defenseless receiver". I guess I just never knew the punt returner was a receiver. I thought if the hit came right after the ball touches his hands then it's fine.

Exactly you are NOT allowed to hit to the head of a defensless receiver. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HIT HIM IN THE CHEST. He hit him in the head therefore it was illegal.

Texans score td here and lions r fukked

[darrell74]

CBS has Forsett has a possible game MVP

JJ Watt should get a consideration over him

[hels]

Lions deserve to lose by twice not putting the ball into FG range

[hels]

close to 4 down territory

[onlooker]

CBS has Forsett has a possible game MVP

They thought it was Christmas, and gave him a gift TD.

[hels]

4th and 6... what do?

[Cheme82]

This is the game right here.

[Cuse0323]

Let's leave Andre Johnson wide open.

[JerseyRobby]

Wow how does Andre Johnson get that wide open?

[hels]

Poor D

[sportfan]

Wide open wow

[Cheme82]

Dre is the man!

[hels]

Schaub with an awful pass....
