Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 4917260, member: 1674"] They didn't have any timeouts. Their only real recourse was to try to correct the refs and give the play away/likely take a delay of game, or audible to a different play which isn't generally what you want to do on a 2 point conversion that decides the game. Re: The defense pointing to 70; we'll never know for sure, but the number of TDs that offensive linemen have caught would seem to suggest that this kind of thing still works fairly often even after they've been announced as eligible. Given the context around #70 reporting all game and how loud it was, it's entirely possible that the defense would have thought it was #58 rather than #68 that was reported as eligible since #58 was lined up as an extra TE right next to #70, whereas #68 was lined up as the LT. It was a really well designed play/trickeration by Detroit. Unfortunate that the ref seemed to be on autopilot and didn't actually care who reported. [/QUOTE]
