    Already a monumental screwup in Detroit-Dallas game. Taylor Decker clearly walks up to Brad Allen to report as eligible on 2 pt. conversion attempt. Yet, after Decker catches the ball for the score, Allen somehow decides that Decker wasn’t eligible after all, because he apparently declared the wrong player as eligible. Of course, this mess gave the Cowboys a cheap win, which is business as usual for the league.

    They’ll give Allen, behind a large number of poor calls this year, the Super Bowl, in the shining example of giving Jerome Boger a Super Bowl.

    How come you won’t take responsibility and say Brad Allen blew it?

    Why won’t you take responsibility and say refs that screw up should face some sort of discipline?

    You want to know why people think sports are fixed? Because 1 ref can change the complete outcome of a game and then will face no discipline or formal acknowledgement from the governing body.

    You defend him by saying the lions tried to do something unorthodox… it’s been reported that Dan Campbell told the refs pregame about the play. It’s been reported that Dan skipper never said anything when entering the field. It’s been reported that Decker repeatedly said “report”.

    After the game, in the only 1 question allowed to be asked to the ref, he flat out says 70 said reported.

    Video evidence disproves this.

    He lied. The ref lied. He made a mistake and instead of of owning, up he lies.

    This means Brad Allen is clearly unethical.

    Yet, here you are saying he should be allowed to officiate other games.

    You defending the indefensible only dissolves your credibility.

    You realize this one wrong call. It’s not even a judgment call. it’s just wrong. Its just 100% completely wrong. Sets the seeds for the NFC playoffs.

    It’s disappointing that such an obvious error is being defended and excused by this site. When players make mistakes, you call them out. When the refs screw up, you claim it’s human error.

    Your bias outweighs your insight.
