NFL Refs Fuck the Lions Again
October 14th, 2019 at 11:29 PM ^
So did the fucking receivers who let Rodgers down only to be bailed out by hands to the face...
October 14th, 2019 at 11:30 PM ^
Well, fake ass hands to the face that didn’t really happen!
October 14th, 2019 at 11:35 PM ^
No argument in athletics that I see regularly annoys me as much as this one.
October 15th, 2019 at 8:54 AM ^
Completely agree. What a dumb argument too. “ you can only complain about professional refs being shitty at their job and affecting the outcome of a game if your team plays a perfect game”. Makes no sense but that’s always the talking point.
October 15th, 2019 at 12:29 PM ^
I have a friend who says this every time. "Should've scored more points so it didn't come down to that." If I hear this again, I'm going to come unglued.
The officials job in every sport is to give both teams a fair shot at scoring more points than the opposition, while giving both teams a fair shot at holding the opposition to fewer points. But, when they fail, "should've scored more points" is BS.
Hey USA men's basketball vs Russia, when the Olympic committee member single handedly decided to give Russia three chances at one last play..."oh well, the US should've scored another bucket earlier in the game so it didn't come down to that". This can be said about every single game in the history of sports. The Lions put themselves in a position to win, but because of minimum 3 calls in the 4th quarter, they were screwed out of that win.

The Packers had plenty of chances to put us away too but they didn’t make plays. Oh wait they were bailed out with phantom calls. The NFL is a razor thin league. Overcome one bad call, I get that mindset and it’s probably a healthy way to attack the game but when the refs continually just throw phantom flags against you in huge moments it’s no longer about the few plays you didn’t make. There isn’t a reasonable person on earth that can lay that loss on the Lions.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:26 PM ^
Yep. When I’m 80 years old I’ll always be able to look back and remember his was the game that made me never watch another NFL game, talk show, highlight, ad etc.
Heretofore personally boycotting the NFL. The WWE is more of a real sport with a less rigged outcomes. Unnecessary roughness was total bullshit, he was going for the ball. Two inconceivable hands to the face calls. No call on PI.
October 15th, 2019 at 7:56 AM ^
Seriously. I've slowly become interested in the NFL again over the past few years, but the blatant fuckery that goes on is just disgusting. I'll go back to casually watching on occasion. That was a travesty, and an affront to sport in general. Goons.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:23 AM ^
Welcome to the club. I quit watching 3 or 4 years ago. It my Sundays and Monday nights are now free of frustration. The NFL is rigged, has been for years. Only the mentally challenged can't see it.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:26 PM ^
Fuck Aaron Rodgers!! Piece of shit asshole smug motherfucker!!
October 14th, 2019 at 11:43 PM ^
I'm still thinking the Lions can win the division. Crazy, I know, but Aaron Rodgers is clearly a piece of fucking shit.
Could've given the Lions some credit, but he's just a fuckface .
October 14th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
He literally said after game, this one didn’t feel like a win. Lol, yeah you were given the W by the zebras.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
All Rodgers does is cry and bitch.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:27 PM ^
Pretty sad. About 7 calls went against Detroit that completely changed the outcome of the game, and the league couldn't care less. Not much different than WWE these days
October 14th, 2019 at 11:27 PM ^
Very clear the refs moneylined Packers; they need to find a way to get AI to officiate games
October 14th, 2019 at 11:27 PM ^
Matt Patricia needs to go after Goodell with a chair. It is the WWE Lite anyway.
Cheer up, Rog, the bruises will heal, and it;s good TV!!
October 14th, 2019 at 11:27 PM ^
No hands to the face, except the fucking o lineman who was mauling 90's facemask like golden fucker Aaron Rogers mauling his coaches. Fuck the fucking refs.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:28 PM ^
It’s embarrassing how bad the NFL just screwed over the Lions. 3 really bad calls. The 2 Illegal hands just cant happen. It’s a joke. Sometimes it’s hard to call PI’s, but throwing flags when you’re not 100% sure what you’re seeing!?!? Patricia should call out the refs. He’s got the money to pay the fine. You need to stick up for your team.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:29 PM ^
Whatever energy Martha Ford has left in her 95-year-old body, she needs to open up a can of whoop-ass on Roger Goodell and get some goddam answers.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:35 PM ^
And after that, Bill Junior needs to remind Mr Goodell just who signs the checks for all those Ford ads.
October 15th, 2019 at 8:24 AM ^
The Ford's have never held that money over the league's head to ensure fairness. They just roll over and take it, like good little boys. That is Ford the Senior's legacy.
Jerry Jones does whatever he wants. Dan Snyder gets away with anything he feels like doing. The Irsay's pack up and move in the middle of the night, and the NFL lauds them for it.
Unfortunately, today, moreso than any other time in advertising history, the Ford's money isn't needed by the NFL. It's a billion dollar entity, and someone will be happy to replace that money. Goodell would call the bluff knowing full well they'd never follow through.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:30 PM ^
The NFL is rigged. It’s no different than the WWE.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:33 PM ^
Sure it is different. The lions would have once not get skull fucked by the refs and won the intercontinetal title if it was as "fair" as the WWE.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:30 PM ^
Scott Van Pelt can't believe this shit either. I'm glad ESPN is calling the refs out
October 14th, 2019 at 11:30 PM ^
That was a a literal robbery against the Lions. Someone should be held accountable for that fuck job.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:31 PM ^
I decided to actually watch the NFL and give a shit about a game and this is what I get. I hate sports.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:32 PM ^
Another day...another Doug!
October 14th, 2019 at 11:53 PM ^
If I could upvote this more, I would upvote it to the heavens. But alas, a simple +1 to you sir.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:32 PM ^
The Lions played good enough to win that game, but the NFL and the WWE refs made sure that did not happen!! FUCK THE NFL!!
October 14th, 2019 at 11:32 PM ^
I agree 100%. The Lions got fucked tonight by the refs. Ridiculous. Officiating is so fucking bad from high school, college, and the pros. People wearing the stripes that never played
October 14th, 2019 at 11:32 PM ^
The Lions may have lost regardless of the call, but come on. Letting them play the game in that situation is better than fixing the outcome. Don't throw the flag unless its in the effects the play... and make sure it's actually a penalty!
October 14th, 2019 at 11:43 PM ^
Wasn’t just the 1. The one before was HUGE. 8 min left and Lions got off the field on 3rd down. Made up hands to face Gives a stud QB another set of downs, made them pay with a great deep ball pass. Yes the 2nd one iced the game, but likely still would’ve been down 1 with 1-1:25 left. The first one gave Packers life and within 2. That one to me is the worst one. Regardless one screw job wasn’t enough, they got it again to ice it.
October 15th, 2019 at 12:15 AM ^
Those weren't the only calls either. GB's "TD" was down on the 1 yard line, Det's last drive ended on a PI that 100% should have been called. The 15 yarder for unnecessary roughness when the guy's only going for the ball. I'm probably missing one or two.
I'm not coming up with a single call that went against GB that was remotely controversial.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:34 PM ^
Crosby has the gall to do the Lambeau leap. He should have jumped into the fucking refs’ arms.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:35 PM ^
Packers LT is a bitch. Both he and the umpire deserve to die in a fire.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:35 PM ^
I'm fully convinced that game was rigged
October 14th, 2019 at 11:35 PM ^
Not sure if you caught this, and it might make you feel a little better, but Devin Bush scored a touchdown yesterday.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:36 PM ^
That was TWO critical plays in the game as well. And I thought B1G officiating was bad.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:45 PM ^
Well you are not wrong. BIG officiating is bad.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:36 PM ^
The best thing is that fans from other teams go to the Lions blog (Pride of Detroit) and post "man, you guys got jobbed."
October 14th, 2019 at 11:37 PM ^
Lions will just sit back and take it. Wish Flowers would go off after the game on the refs. Or gasp, maybe someone in ownership and / or management.
It keeps happening, Lions are like ok, and nothing comes of it.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:39 PM ^
Barry Sanders calls it sickening:

Always respect the Barry!
October 14th, 2019 at 11:39 PM ^
The league can’t let Brady be the unanimous goat after he made them look like the fucking punk bitches they are. They need Rodgers to take some of the hype no matter how overrated he is.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:40 PM ^
They’ve been fucked ever since the Fords bought them.
October 14th, 2019 at 11:41 PM ^
Such a pussy move for the Packers RB to dive at the 2 yard line. The Lions should've grabbed the guy and helped him into the end zone.
October 15th, 2019 at 12:37 AM ^
Versus the pussy move of the Lions' defense taking an obvious dive to let him score?
October 15th, 2019 at 8:31 AM ^
How is that a pussy move? It was a smart play - let them score to get the ball back with more than a minute left. The RB figured it out too soon and hit the ground. Good on him, but it's unfortunate the LB didn't think to hit him and carry him into the end zone.
Next time a similar situation occurs, you will see the defenders help the back into the EZ. Nothing in this league gets missed twice, so leave it to the Lions to see it first...
October 15th, 2019 at 9:41 AM ^
Lots of players have done that before (going down before an imminent TD to win the game). One that comes to mind is MJD in Jax busted open a long run and went down at the 2. Fantasy football fans went crazy.
Ultimately, if letting the RB score is a "smart move" then the RB not scoring to preserve the win is also a "smart move".
They're either both pussies or both smart.
