[QUOTE="Brandon, post: 420485, member: 6054"] Fans on the lions board are completely unloading their hatred for the refs on this call, and are claiming it is the only reason they lost. Okay first off I am a Packer fan, have been all my life.. but I've been a fan of football and the NFL even longer. I don't LIKE the call, if it was flipped and that call went against the Packers I would have been equally upset.... HOWEVER! By the very definition of the rule, the officials got it right. In this situation it wasn't about getting two feet down, it was about maintaining possession. If you go back and closely look at the play, you will see Young touches one foot down THEN begins to jostle the football and switch it to the other hand before having full control, and THEN touches his second foot down while he maintains possession. So by definition of the rule, Young only maintains possession when his second foot touches, and so as much as I agree that the rule sucks, the officials did get it correct. Every team in the NFL is victim to bad calls, or calls that were missed.. in the end it's always about execution, and for Lions fans all I can say is that 1 call (which was correct) wasn't their undoing. I respect the Lions despite their undisciplined season, and fully expect them to be competitive for many years to come. Your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
