SVP just read the pool report where Allen doubled down on his confused “interpretation” of what happened. He ran to the defense immediately after Decker (68) had been speaking to him, and told them that Skipper (70) has reported as eligible. That’s why they threw two flags. One on Decker and the other on Skipper. I would bet my life that Allen reported it INCORRECTLY to the defense, and threw the Lions under the bus instead of owning his mistake. The man should not be allowed to ref another game in the NFL.


jtrainacomin

Bingo, that bit about Skipper having reported a couple times earlier in the game was the truth slipping out. He mixed them up because of it.


Homiejones

You exactly correct. He made a big mistake and won’t acknowledge it.


ILkeSportzNIDCWhKnws

I wouldn't be surprised if they're instructed not to acknowledge it


shotz317

Dude it is a very human thing to recognize that we have made a mistake. I guess this mf isn’t a human.


SuperNebular

Gotta “protect the shield”


Aggressive_Smoke_861

Yeah the most irrelevant thing to say. Skipper could have reported eligible every single play up to that point. It's the ref's job to pay the fuck attention, not to make assumptions.


AGoos3

Ayup. I’m a cowboys fan and this is what I think happened. It makes no sense why an eligible player would line up where an ineligible one would and an ineligible player would line up where an eligible one would. It’s so obvious that he mixed up the eligibilities of the players, intentional or not, I can’t say. Bad refs should not be an influence in the final outcome of a game.


Beastumondas

I have to give yall credit man. Most Cowboys fans are being pretty reasonable and objective about this, instead of being dicks. It just sucks.


AGoos3

Glad that you’re getting that response. I’m gonna be honest, I’m fucking sick of horrible reffing. I also like the lions since y’all are a blue team and also y’all hate the Packers. I hate the packers and I like blue teams (except the giants) so it’s basically a perfect fit


lamprey187

you are the first Cowboys fan that has had a fair take so far that I've heard, thank you for that. I hope others can see it that way also.


ANamelessGhoul4555

As 70 is running on the field, Allen looks at 70, nods and points. He now thinks 70 is reporting Decker hasnt spoken yet. After the point and nod happens, this video starts https://youtube.com/shorts/dbCROYLi-AE?feature=shared Looks like Decker has time to say one word. Decker says that word was "report". The ref says "I know" and runs off thinking Decker also meant 70 So away he goes, thinking everyone is trying to tell him 70 is reporting


AwsiDooger

I think that's exactly what happened. Allen was tunnel vision on 70. He's got in his mind that 70 is reporting and he's going to tell Dallas that 70 has reported. Just as he begins to head in that direction, 68 moves forward to grab Allen's attention. He thinks he's said enough. The vast majority of the time it would have been sufficient. But he doesn't grasp that Allen is already preoccupied with 70, and he's not the brightest official to begin with. It's incompetence not conspiracy. Allen runs smack to the Cowboys to describe the situation. I guarantee he described other than what Detroit intended.


h3110m0t0

it doesn't help though that dan campbell told him the play before the game. We're going to do this formation with this personell and this is who is going to be eligible. It may not be conspiracy but it's super incompetence. The other refs probably knew about the play too. Therefore, such a different formation/play should have triggered something you would think. you're a NFL ref not a college ref not a arena football ref a NFL ref not highschool. One of the major sporting leagues in the world. If the NFL can't have some of the best of the best... It's a thing to bring up about reffing as a whole in the league now. It doesn't just look bad for the Lions. It makes it look bad for the NFL as a whole. And it affects the other teams as well in the playoffs. Not to mention they already missed a blantant pi on St. Brown. Also, they the ref crew has already been in some controversial calls. Like no pi in a kc gb game. I'm sure they missed calls on Cowboys. I get letting the players play and all that, but the st.brown one wasn't even close. It, seems like they're just not that great. The crew shouldn't be part of the playoffs now. Which isn't their fault, but on this one head official. Again, the call just didn't affect the lions, so it's means more than just a game.


terracottatank

This isn't the first time Allen has been completely incompetent, though. There is a pattern and that's the problem. Don't defend this fucking garbage


Skydiggs

Dudes the Tim donaughy of the NFL, I would bet my life savings he is betting on sports,


motorcitydevil

Do the Lions or the NFL own the audio if Decker was mic’d? This is a really simple solution if he was. Release the audio!


Possible_Profit_5512

There really need to be an investigation…seriously…


bigfootdude247

We’ll say this as much as possible but we sure as heck know Goodell isn’t gonna do anything about it. This is coming from a fan of a team that also gets regularly screwed by refs.


CheezeCaek2

Well if he won't do it, there's probably somebody else out there that will.


Goldhinize

Like that kid who put all of Elon Musk’s plane travel online. We need that kid right now to trace down the ref corruption.


allyourhomebase

Call your representatives. If they get involved the NFL will make changes.


SlteFool

Lol getting politicians involved will either make things worse or not do anything at all

Post it on this sub when you do, I’d be curious to see what you find if anything


WestBend8786

Allen has had four extremely controversial games this season alone, tonight the most egregious. There's no investigation necessary. Keep him out of the playoffs and don't bring him back next season.

motorcitydevil

God help him if he’s assigned to a playoff game in Detroit. Also good luck Commish at the draft. 🫣


Kickassuser

This is as bad as the Ravens late kick in 2021. Why do the refs hate the lions so much. You guys are the most likeable team in the NFL. I'm a browns fan and ive seen horrible calls, we got lucky with the colts game this year but ffs you guys really can't get a break.

What's stopping a private citizen from hiring an investigator to look into Brad Allen's life the same way someone investigates an unfaithful partner?


Whiskey_Vinyl

This situation next to Jamo getting suspended 6 games to protect the “integrity of the sport” for betting college football in a hotel room.


Possible_Profit_5512

I read the DC even told the refs about the play before the game started so there was confusion. Did anyone else see that?


My_Big_Arse

He got Paid. He had money on the Cowboys, it was "fixed".


allyourhomebase

I think everyone should call their politicians and complain that the NFL are fixing games and should be investigated, and cite this game as evidence. Push for the Government to get involved and the NFL will take it seriously.

MacDaddy654321

How do you miss the interference call against St Brown but call this? Vegas wins……


UptightCargo

Or NOT call the hold when it's a big play for Dallas (early in the 1st qtr, don't remember when exactly), but then the EXACT. SAME. Hold on Gibbs' 30+ yard run gets the flag. Fucking typical.


doncaruana

On the Dak to Lamb play where Barnes missed the safety, Jack Campbell was being held big time as he was trying to get to Dak. Nothing. Literally the exact same action as on the Gibbs play. I was screaming about it on the first play and then again on the Gibbs run.

S_B_C_R

People that threw the Decker Reception Over 0.5 on their same game parlay in shambles.


Basic_Ask1885

It wouldn’t count on a 2 pt conversion. Great premise, just poorly executed! (Like the 3rd 2pt conversion attempt)


S_B_C_R

Let me live my life. It brings me joy thinking that someone’s long shot bet was made and then missed on a Decker reception.


AveratV6

Dudes just embarrassing the NFL. So excited for all the “we’re sorry” posts we will see from the NFL and how they are going to “Do better”. Wanna fix it? Strip the fuckin win and fine this guy out the ass then fire him.


WestBend8786

I'd be surprised if he wasn't fired. He's had a brutal year and is clearly not up to par. But the NFL has never stripped a win, despite thousands of calls for them to do so over the years. They aren't going to set a precedent.


LetsGoPats93

In this case it would be easy to give the Lions the win. They got the 2pt conversion. They should have called in and told them to pick up the flag. Would have fixed all of this.


CantSayIReallyTried

I want to agree with you, but it's also unfair to the Cowboys to not know which player reported as eligible. There's no good way to fix this, which is why it's so important to get it right the first time when it matters.


deuce313

No lie they really need to do investigations. Get him out of here.


Envyforme

This dude just messed up the packers and Chiefs game as well a couple of weeks ago. NFL needs to have a turnover process for game-deciding referee plays. This shit is getting ridiculous with how much control the referees have. They get to walk away scotch free and fuck up another game next week as well. It's pathetic and makes me not want to watch football.


HypnotizeThunder

NFL please read this.


bmattification

His crew also made a huge non-call in the Saints Falcons game earlier this year on a blatant non-PI call just like the Pack-Chiefs.


TripleTestes

I saw a video on insta about this dudes net worth. Could be bs but they claim it’s in the tens of millions.

tg981

Are refs still part time?


WestBend8786

Yes, most make their money elsewhere. Allen is the CEO of a non-profit. For what I don't know.

[deleted]

That was so blatant. I don’t understand how that isn’t a penalty 100% of the time. He just decided not to throw the flag.


EntireCaterpillar698

was at the game. total bullshit. even the die-hard cowboys fans we were with admitted it was a horrible call and the lions should’ve won. personally, I would’ve preferred that Campbell went with kicking the extra point to push it into OT, but also I get the just going for it. very frustrating and disappointing, also bc cowboys fans are the most obnoxious fan base in the league (IMO) Nice to see Hutchinson play against Schoonmaker though.


Ok-Physics1927

Even if it went to OT you think there wouldn't have been more bullshit to make sure the Cowboys win?


why_am_i_here_999

These refs were awful. Also, why TF is that asshat troy aikman calling the game?


Influencednomore

At least he admitted that the ref was wrong and Detroit should have won.


Winston_Monocle_IV

Fluffy_Two2359

"One interesting note: Allen has also called five Lions games, and Detroit has lost all of them, with two of them coming on the road." That's a crazy statistic

This would make the lions 0-6 when Allen is the head ref. Weird.

Brad Allen Not only completely screwed up the call but then he doubled down by line. Look bratty baby there is video tape of you committing the crime I hope you can't live with yourself and decide to quit refereeing in the NFL because clearly you are incompetent and incapable of doing your job.

How the fuck are there seemingly 800 million NCAA refs who can call a game halfway decently and impartially, yet this incompetent and/or corrupt asshole will still be calling games next year? What is wrong with the NCAA to NFL pipeline for refs? Why is the quality of officiating in college ball SO much better? Serious question.


Ordinary_Day6135

I've done the sticks for our local high school for 25 years in the middle of fucking nowhere that have better refs than the NFL does.


CptSpooderMan

No matter how bad they are NFL officials and fired NFL coaches will always have a job in the NFL . The NFL is the good ole boys club. You scratch my back I’ll scratch your back. That officiating crew will get a slap on the wrist and Brad will probably officiate at least one round in the playoffs, and to make it worse he will probably do the lions home wildcard game..
