I thought that was a turning point in our momentum, when the ref reversed a call on Stevie after he was elbowed to the ground!
Multiple times this year I've heard them say they can't reverse the call when doing a review. Either the refs have been wrong all year long, or that call was blown.
Cue Sultan to tell us it was the correct call
An asinine exception to the rule if the replay was indeed by the books.

Well, I think we did get a stop right after that but have never seen that before. If they are able to reverse a foul call on a review of a flagrant, why draw the line there with what they can change on a review?
Should have been a T on Burns for how he reacted. Completely turned the momentum of that half
I still don't understand. I was at the game, they called a foul on Burns, they went to a time out and announced they were reviewing 5he call. Then they announced a foul on Stevie. How does that happen? You can't change a foul call on review
They said they can review "around the cylinder" of burns. Like Stevie was intruding burns space or something idk
The initial call was a charge on Burns. They reviewed it for a possible flagrant. Upon review, it was determined that Stevie was in Burns cylinder. Call reversed.
Jokes: How big is Burns cylinder?
That was a call that Lions fans are used to.
My problem is that Driscoll is literally 2 feet from the play. If he can't make the correct call the first time, he shouldn't be reffing. Or let's just go completely video refs.

I thought that's what they were reviewing at first. Usually tossing the ball at the cheerleaders like that is a T.
Watching at a bar where the sound was somewhat drowned out, I assumed it was a flagrant review for the viciousness with which Burns swung his elbow into Stevie quite intentionally.
I thought for the most part the referring was pretty good yesterday, mostly invisible. That one, however, incomprehensible.

According to the rule book, if you are looking at a foul to determine if it's a flagrant, and it is determined that no flagrant occurred, refs can penalize additional common fouls on either team.
However, they can't determine that another violation took place, like a travel.
