    Schwartz blew it by throwing the flag. Officials aren't supposed to blow the whistle unless they're sure the player is down, because the plays ends and it can't be overturned. Yes, they missed the call, but it would have been overturned.

    They should probably change that rule. Why such a severe penalty for accidentally throwing the challenge flag?

    The fact that they wouldn't review the play because the challenge flag was thrown is ridiculous and that rule should absolutely be changed as it makes absolutely no sense. If you want to assess a penalty for doing so, fine, but to say we're not going to make the correct call on the field on a TD no less because you tried to challenge the play, is absurd.

    But here's why it's REALLY messed up: What if the Texan's coach had thrown the flag? If he knew his player was down, he could've thrown the flag knowing they couldn't review it. And his team gets the bogus touchdown. He just gets hit with the 15 yd. penalty.

    What a joke

    Peter King said last night that the rule is very likely to be changed.

    I'm not sure if it's true, but I read on another message board that that wouldn't be allowed.

    As a Lion's fan we tend to reach deep into the rule book to aid to our misery.

    As a football fan all you can ask for is to get the call right. That is what replay is for. To have an obvious blown call not overturned because of technicality seems insane. It is insane the more I think about it. Take away a time out. Penalize them (which they also did on the kickoff. Insult to injury), fine them but get the call right. Forgot about possibly costing the Lions a game what about the AFC teams that are chasing the Texan's. It effects them even more. Screw the NFL, but I will be back for more on Sunday.

    The review would still occur in that case. The rules explicitly cover that scenario.

    Better yet, hire a coach that can keep his cool when he needs too. Not a hot head who can control himself. He even knew he screwed up and was telling everyone that it was on him.

    The Bengals/Raiders game has lost all control, 4 fouls on one play after the refs blow turnover by inadvertent whistle?
