    Detroit backers got screwed...

    ...out of 38 seconds. The Saints took a knee on 4th down with 38 seconds. Clock stops on change of possession.

    Not like it matters Stafford probably would have thrown another pick

    Listen, I've had a number of bad beats on the final plays of the game over the last month or so. To not even get a chance at a suck out.....

    Add to that the inadvertent whistle on what should have been a fumble return for a TD, the stripes had a rough day...

    Schwartz would have just knelt on the ball...

    Once the Saints "give up", it is common courtesy to give up yourself...

    I think...

    this ^^^^

    also, if the lions cared about the 38 seconds, they would of used their last timeout with like a minute and a half left. they never even used their last timeout. and they still would have had to gone 95+yards with no time and no timeouts...

    Detroit backers got screwed .... NO backers got some cash $$$ .... I always learned not to have big eyes and if I see a such as NO ML then just take it .... 1/6 is more than enough for me .... my £1000 bet made me a nice £166.67 profit.

    I know I've seen teams take a knee giving the ball back to the losing team and that losing team still trying to score.

    That said, I agree. I looked like the Lions were done (they didn't call the timeout) and had a long way to go. My issue is that it was a major officiating gaff.

    I think the Lions would've tried to score.

    Lions have scored so many times with a minute to go... anything could of happened. I'm glad the clock didn't stop on the change of possession. LOL And Detroit didn't even care. Gotta love Vegas.
