- That was the worst call I've ever seen in the NFL. Worse than Packers-Seattle game with the replacement refs, ect. Justin Forsett was tackled. Period. It was idiotic to not make that play subject to review, too. The explantion of why it wasn't reviewable is a joke. It should be automatic because it is a TD. It should not matter if the Lions threw the challenge flag. What? Get the call wrong because of some stupid technicality? Awful. And making matters even worse for the powers to be in the NFL is it happened during a thrilling game on Thanksgiving Day with the entire nation watching. Brutal. But the Lions can't lean on that call for an excuse. Quality teams overcome such adversity. The Lions didn't respond with a good drive after it, and it was disappointing.
- Detroit defensive end Cliff Avril is starting to make plays. He forced a fumble in the first half. He got his second sack in as many weeks in the third quarter. He has 6.5 sacks, which puts Avril roughly on the same pace to equal last season's output of 11 sacks.
- That was an absolute waste of a timeout by the Lions before Jason Hanson's field goal in the third quarter. In a shootout type of game like this, it could comeback to haunt them. Little things like that are very hurtful in the NFL where the margin for error is slim most weeks.
