So not only did I get a pick wrong because of not realizing the early start time for London games...I mixed up the 1/2 thing and put Detroit as 1...clearly nobody in their right mind would think Detroit could win a game...let alone by 28 points.....FML....should have been 11-4

Bah, stupid embed.  Really awesome Vine of a Ref literally staring at nothing but Wright batting the ball out of the endzone.

I'm fairly sure the refs knew it was a penalty at the time. I can only hazard that they didn't throw the flag because they figured the batting was meaningless to the outcome. I can't really recall them penalizing a punter for batting it out of his own end zone, for example.

This is painful.

This thread has the power to jynx and/or reverse jynx any team in any game in the league. I'd say we should use this to our financial advantage, but that would inevitably trigger the jynx/reverse jynx thingie.

As for the Unger trade, they're really maximizing Graham's talents, huh? I think he cracked a hundred yards receiving this season?

Fake edit: 145, to be exact!

I drafted Graham onto my fanatsy team and my rational was that Wilson didn't have any dominant targets to throw to, especially in the endzone (plus I was super high during the draft). Fuck the seahwaks for their o-line made up of one legged hobos, fuck Wilson for looking at Graham three times a game if he's lucky, fuck the seahwaks again for going backwards 50 yards when they're on the damn 10-yard line, and fuck Graham for being single handidly responsible for giving me a 1-3 record in my fantasy league.

They do penalize them for that, its called a safety

A safety isn't a penalty anymore than a touchdown is, unless you're a Browns fan watching the game, in which case the punishment fits the crime.

You didn't seriously just suggest that a penalty that would've resulted in the Lions regaining possession at half the distance to the goal (from the spot of the foul), would've been meaningless to the outcome of a 10-13 game, did you?
