Cowboys at Lions | Week 8 Game Day Chatter Thread | 10/27/2013

The Lions are going to get the ball back. This isn't over. Wow

 

[1bigfan13]

As Millen just pointed out this was actually a decent time to hold if you're a OL.

Kick the FG

 

[Texas Ace]

Why did the clock stop if they declined the penalty?

 

[boozeman]

Please make this, Money.

MVP

Pay this guy, Stephen.

Why? That penalty stops the clock.

I'd rather be 20 seconds up by 3 then up by 6 with 1:00 remaining.

 

[2233boys]

Lions have over a minute and Johnson, we lose

 

[Tony D]

How come the clock stopped?

 

[vtcowboy]

So Detroit and Megatron are going to have a minute to go for a TD. If Stafford just chucks it up for grabs, how are we going to stop that?

 

[Deuce]

Penalty stops the clock no matter what. Doesn't matter if it's declined.

 

[Texas Ace]

That penalty sucks because instead of the Lions having 35 seconds or so, they now have a full minute with Calvin Johnson.

Awful scenario.

 

[1bigfan13]

Now just keep 'em out of the endzone. Triple team Cal if you have to.

 

[BipolarFuk]

Why did the clock stop if they declined the penalty?

THat's what I was wondering.

 

[boozeman]

It is amazing we won this game despite ourselves.

Shit

We won't. Our DBs suck at jump balls. Bad timing.

 

[Smitty]

How come the clock didn't start after that penalty? Is that a rule? That's like the worst thing that could have happened.
