Peter King gets it right...

"The Lions should feel angry because Allen seemed to be in a rush to get the play going, not to get the play right. But the Lions seemed to be so intent on fooling the Cowboys—and they did; no one covered Decker—that they confused the official in the process.

And in not challenging Allen’s announcement of who was reporting eligible in the approximately eight seconds before the snap of the ball, the Lions were in effect saying that Allen was correct.

The NFL’s now going to have to create a clarification to this rule.

Only players who are reporting eligible should be allowed to go to the referee before a snap, and players who report must make the motion on the front of their jerseys.

It’s cool to try to pull the equivalent of the hidden-ball trick, but there’s too much that can go wrong with it in a rollicking football stadium, and we saw that Saturday night."

Dan Campbell told the referees before the game exactly what they were going to do. If it confused the refs it was because they were incompetent. The NFL, year after year, does nothing about the lack of confidence anyone has in officiating. It's the league"s no. 1 problem and they don't address it.

The ref involved here wasn't at that meeting; Campbell just bulldozed through so many steps without being methodical.

The refs will never get it all right. The tripping call in Dallas in the previous drive was literally nonexistent according to the tape.

The best coaches cover every angle anyway.
