I'm loving this Lions/GB game. Keep it up Lions. 17-0 Lions
after 1st.

And playing the role of the Chicago Cubs tonight will be the
Detroit Lions. Playing the St. Louis Cardinals will be the Green
bay Packers.

I didn't see the play, but reading that there was not a grab of
the facemask, and it should not have been a penalty. Anyone see
this play? I am sure the Pack got away with a ton of other
penalties, but if the refs gave them one last chance for a hail
mary, that is criminal.

It was a pretty obvius face mask.
When the tacklers hand is on the face mask and urns the head its
an easy call.

The face mask was clearly not grabbed. The Lion player grazed
the mask and then grabbed the shoulder pad to make the tackle.

That is what I read. So more preferential treatment for the
star QB.

Don't get how you cannot see his thumb in the face mask and
Rogers head turned.
It doesn't matter that most of his hand was on the shoulder pad.

His thumb grazed the face mask and Rodgers did a good job
selling it. I wouldn't say it was a bad call at full speed. I
could also see it being a non call.

I think the rule says you have to grab the face mask and not let
go. Rodgers sold it..

I can't blame the refs for the call. The Lion defender really
flings Rodgers down pretty hard and there was contact with the
facemask even if it was by a finger.
Has anyone mentioned that Rodgers had already completed a
forward pass to start the play and that his only option was to
run or lateral?
