The Lions Try to Play Fast and Loose ...... Get Called to Task
 

o


I saw the game ...... 2 offensive linemen on the Lions approached the referee, and did not report. Then a 3rd lineman came over right behind the first 2 linemen, and claimed to report. The first 2 lineman claimed that they just "happened to be walking in the same vicinity as was the referee", but weren't reporting. And because of the ambiguity of their actions, the referees rightfully called the Lions for a penalty for not properly reporting the eligibility of a receiver.

It's similar to a punt returner making an ambiguous, half-assed signal for a fair catch, and then running with the ball for a touchdown after giving the impression of a fair catch ...... as Mike Thomas of the Jaguars did against the Colts in a 2010 regular-season game.
