      I think he landed short of the line. When there was no question about it, I assumed he caught it past the line.

      I thought it should have drawn a measurement.
      I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

      • It's hard to say definitively, but I've looked at it a lot. He lands on the yellow line, with half of his body past the line with the ball, it isn't by much and to me Jefferson makes it look shorter than it was by how he gets up. It's notable that the ref spots in kind of short. But the angle is not great. I believe if he caught it with his left arm as it appears to me, its a clear first down, but if it more on his right arm he might be short. But you cannot really tell from that angle.

        That's a point where they should use the booth to look at a replay, but they have that leaky 10 second runoff rule that could have screwed the Vikings so I'm not sure they want to review it.

                Initially I thought he was a yard short on that play...The screen even said 4th and 1 as he spiked the ball to stop the clock....then all of a sudden it said 2nd and 10.....no measurement, no replay, nothing.....but it is still a red flag how easily the Lions give up 3rd and forevers for first downs.
                In that particular case, that sort of thing is going to happen. Justin Jefferson is probably the closest sort of receiver to Calvin Johnson playing the game right now. You throw a .500 ball to JJ, no matter the distance, and one of the best at his position makes a play. You curse and you move on.

                Now what got me aggravated was Comiskey on the play right before that trying to scoop and score when what he should have done was simply secure the fucking ball. That's just a basic, Football 102: Situational Awareness sort of shit that you simply shouldn't be fucking up at that level of play.

                  That was pretty good

                    It’s def one of those weird plays. It looked short to me but the game should have been over at that fumble.

                    They won so it’s all good.

                      -------------------------------I was pissed. Just fall on it you idiot and the game is over.

                      • Agreed but it also allowed Iffy to get that next INT as well. In the long run that’s going to build his confidence even more and be great for the playoffs.

                        Speaking of safeties. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a strong room on a Lions team. Joseph, CJGJ, Walker, Iffy, Branch. Each one could start damned near on any team in the league

                          I know jaad but it could have went the other way and we'd all be really pissed.

                            For sure bro. I was mad when Cominsky didn’t just fall on it.

                            • I was cursing Cominsky during that whole drive until the int. That was setup to be SOL. I was already imagining Mullens driving for the TD and then the Lions losing out to lose the division. Thankfully Iffy intercepted that duck.

                                Same here, Paris Lenon vibes (which was around the time when I was first able to watch live games on the internet, might have been the year before but remember it being talked about when I first joined the forum.)
                                Was also yelling for Iffy to go to ground after the int.
                                Still all was good, not the SOL and Iffy got to lead the Viking Clap.

                                If you fall during your life, it doesn't matter. You're never a failure as long as you try to get up.
