Seems you guys dislike Blandino too

This should give you chuckles.

Blandino sucks. We were robbed a ton of times under him, including in the Super Bowl and all of last year with illegal hits on Cam.

You guys should be 4-0 right now. Hoping for a good game Sunday!

Man I wish you guys would have beat those douche Falcons.

anyway yeah Blandino is trash

[mc52beast]

Lions will be a bigger test than the Pats, their defense is much better. They don’t have many weaknesses so Cam and Co will have to take their A game if they want to be 4-1

They did beat the douche Falcons. Record just won't say it.

Man, as much as I wanted the Falcons to lose, that was not a BS call. It was the exact, fair call. Anything else would have been BS.

Again... I would have loved to have seen the Lions win, but upon review, he's clearly down. If they don't review it, they never get a snap off in :08; and the rule says if you don't have any timeouts remaining and there's a review, there's a :10 run off. 

How exactly was Detroit robbed here? 

They shouldn't have thrown it short of the goal line. It's their own fault they're 3-1. Blame Stafford, not the refs.

I think they could have gotten a snap off in 8s. The rule was enforced correctly but it is a stupid ass rule that robbed the Lions.

Yeah that runoff rule is bogus

What if it was :06 left. Or :01? Is it a :stupid ass rule" then? I don't think setting the rule at :10 is unreasonable. Watch the clock next time a team runs a play and see how long it takes everyone to get back in position and run an actual play - not just spike it, either, because it was 4th down in this situation. Ten seconds is very reasonable.

There's plenty of things to shake your head at in the NFL. This isn't one. 

[Mr. Scot]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Blandino is in charge of officiating anymore. Pretty sure he's now with Fox Sports.

I forget the name of the guy who replaced him.

[Darth Biscuit]

He's not Mr. Scot is right, but he still sucks...   the refs did actually get that TD call right, but Blandino is awful.

They absolutely could have ran to the line and got a snap off
