So here’s referee Brad Allen after the game to a pool reporter last night quote number 68 who ended up going downfield and touching the pass did not report therefore he is an ineligible touching a pass that goes beyond the line which makes it a foul so the issue is number

70 did report number 68 did not here’s our officiating analyst John Perry to clarify the situation what an ending in Dallas Det Detroit has a two-point game-winning conversion taken off the board for a substitution a reporting violation number 68 thinks that he’s got the attention of the referee Brad Allen but

Brad Allen is focused on number 70 based on Brad’s mechanics we don’t think he ever recognized Decker number 68 as an eligible in this case and based on the formation that they used number 68 number one is an ineligible the on the end of the line that’s it’s IL legal

Formation in in ineligible downfield on a pass and ineligible to touch the pass first and here was Brad Allen’s microphone work with the call it was illegal touching by number [Applause] 68 of course Dan Campbell they’ve practiced this play All Season they were ready for this play he cannot believe

That Brad Allen did not recognize number 68 as well as number 70 the key here is keep in mind number 68 owns the eligibility reporting he needed to take the time to get to Brad Allen with a little bit more making sure that Brad did recognize

That he was going to play as a tight end thanks John for that Rex I’m just curious from your perspective do you think Brad Allen made the right call in this position no 100% he he absolutely missed it 100% he missed it and would we please stop blaming the players the

Players did exactly what they were supposed to do every one of them right from Jared Goff going over and telling Decker go report he went right over there and reported with that nod of the official the nod the I think the official assumed 70 was because he was

Reporting all day that’s a plan by the way but the where Dan Campbell failed is that he assumed that the official would have got it right why because he went over it specifically with the before the game that’s what you do the officials come in you go over every uh trick play

Scenario and all that stuff with the officials before the game so he actually tells the official we have a play where we’re throwing it to Decker and number 68 and he’s going to report yes and there’s a grease board and you literally will draw the play up exactly how it is

You would I guarantee you he drew up the fake pun is as well okay that that the officials got right and you know what this is a huge mistake but the thing that bothers me the most is that we’re po we’re putting blame on the players stop the players did everything right so

Quit blaming quit covering somebody’s butt yeah and tell it the way it is be a man and take responsibility it’s BS and this thing right here and oh it’s just a game yeah it’s a game that may very well C aome the second seed certainly and possibly

The first seed and it is a huge difference having to play on the road instead of playing at home and and to me it’s and and look I love John Perry to me is one of the best officials of all time okay we’re lucky to have here the

Guy’s great and in his eyes he sees it a different way than I see it and so be it I’m telling you right now as a football coach I know exactly what the hell happened let me ask you this why would 70 and pan Su be up there right next to

Him what you said that’s the plan why would that be the plan for all three of them to go up looking like somebody else’s could be reporting right why not just send 68 that’s what you do when you have a uh when you bring an extra

Lineman in the game one of them is going to be eligible and that’s why you come in there and you you have those three guys and that’s what they say I’m the guy the only one that announced that he was eligible is 68 Taylor Decker then

Why are the other out over there because they come in they don’t need to announce it to the to the uh defense until the ball’s getting snapped then they say who’s eligible you don’t you don’t do this is just a common practice that you do and the thing that that drives me

Absolutely crazy is and I get it I think the guys the referees is a human being he made a mistake all right you’re seeing a 6′ n guy right all right a big tackle a 6’9 guy is right in right in front of you all right but you didn’t

Notice his jersey number you assumed it was 70 and when you assume you make a you know what out of you and me and that’s exactly what happened and unfortunately and by the way this team this game was over they had one timeout not three timeouts that was reported

They had one timeout left there’s no way unless that Dallas has they got a great kicker but unless they have gussed the kick and mule that game was over and John Perry John Perry sees that also as an illegal formation well just off Bas off of reporting listen I I totally agree with

You Rex he he assumed it they’ve been running 70 in all game they’ve been doing this with an extra o lineman and he’s the one reporting and they’re setting this up he ran out on that play obviously this was this this is the curveball to it right like this is the

Play they had set up the entire game for this moment and they got it dialed up and Brad Allen as 70 trots on the field assumes he’s going to report again he doesn’t even see 68 in his face runs over I mean we saw the entire mechanic uh clearly

Clearly botched in this case right how how on edge are officials since the cadarius Tony thing really must they be I mean just get having to get things right and then now it’s like if you don’t come up to my face and you tell me and get my attention it’s not going to

Get called so this is things have to change here now because I have seen I mean I’ve been on like field goal block teams where we see people on and they have they have to and all they do I mean that official will be 20 yards away it

Little this you got me boom and they just go we don’t they didn’t they don’t have to go up to their face but now it’s going to be like in the you got me I am eligible are we good it’s almost that’s what it has to be now because they were

Right in front of him Sam why why else would they go right in front of the official I don’t need you for anything except her to do this and usually you’ve gotten you’ve gotten this in the past that’s all I need to do it’s a botch call you know for for

For the the Detroit Lions fans us as analysts to sit up here and keep you know bashing the referees there is nothing going to change I what I really want to talk what I really want to talk about is what I saw in the game prior to

The play you heard me saying I’m talking about outside outside Jared gol through some balls and they were you know as a professional quarterback should have been completed but what they were incomplete the last play uh the interception so I I with with 31 what 31 attempts uh 34 attempts and 19

Completions that’s not going to be good enough going forward I remember last year I asked you guys wasn’t Detroit one of the hottest teams last year at this time going into the month of December yes and I still think that Detroit still going something like this will be able

To fuel the Detroit Lions but going forward better play coming from Jared go let me say this about these two coaches too things the things just aren’t changing here I mean you talk about clock man management with Mike McCarthy and the way that he threw the ball carelessly rather than running the

Football to take more time off of the clock that’s one and also Dan Campbell I just I love this guy so much because it’s like I mean this is so aggressive so passionate and everything but listen you tell your guys we’re going to go down we’re going to go down and score

And then boom we’re going for two cool that doesn’t work your back up five and I’m like kick it I’m watching it just kick it then and then let’s play the game but it’s it’s almost like he reacted emotionally all right and going forward I mean those emotions have to

Taper down just a little bit with some of the great those important decisions he’s going to have to make I’m shaking my head because I just don’t see it happening if you saw him crumpling up the paper at the end that we showed saying I don’t want to talk about he is

Just an emotional guy through and through and you get the good and the bad that comes with that let’s bring in Adam shefer for more on this one what do you have for us Adam well Sam this has generated an awful lot of reaction around the league as you might expect

And I think team have found fault with both sides here they think that the Lions try to trick the Cowboys and instead trick the officials by sending three offensive linemen over to the official when they say that only one lineman should have been reporting and then the officials did miss the call

Brad Allen got the wrong player reporting and that’s been a continuation of a string of high profile misses from the Brad Allen crew this year you remember earlier in the year there was the pass interi with Marquez Valdez scaning that was not called the same Brad Allen crew in this

Game where the Packer defensive back goes over his shoulder there was a pass interference call in Atlanta with the saints that was not called when clearly it was pass interference and an influence that game this is a roughing the passer penalty where zarius Smith was fined but it was not call and

There’s one thread that ties together all those calls it is the same Brad Allen crew time and time again now you will see mixed crews in the postseason but clearly This Crew will be downgraded and it would be a surprise to see some of them Reach the postseason but that’s

A decision that the league will have to reach there still will be plenty of Fallout from a decision that now very likely will influence how the NFC seeds are laid out and in the second round because Detroit right now seems locked into the third seed last night’s call

Could mean that the lions in the divisional play play off round will be playing at the NFC East winner rather than hosting that divisional playoff game it’s a huge deal Adam and I think you said it well when you said they were trying to confuse the Cowboys and ended

Up confusing the official that’s interesting there with that maybe that answers your question why pen also went up there yeah it’s like so you’re on defense like there’s no other reason you’re sending everybody over about to say I’m got gameship you said man up right abut all these excuses Brad Allen

Officials man up all right and by the way would you want to explain why you smacked me in the face yes he did he did punch him in the face last night that that was can we kid I mean what happened is when when the incredible clock

Management by Mike McCarthy when he soon as he threw that incompletion I’m like you smack me right chance they just gave a chance to this one I smack right the face he wanted you to man up man up for Mike McCarthy right now man what a wild night it Was
