They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!
Why did the Lions start playing in the second half like they were down three scores?

see my prediction for the game, except replace "rodgers" with "refs" because I never learn:

SolusLunes posted:

yeah, this is basically how I see it going

detroit blows out green bay in the first half, takes their foot off the gas, gets rodgers'd

only way the lions can realistically win is to gently caress it up for three quarters and pull out a stafford fourth quarter comeback

Yeah it wouldn't have mattered anyway since there was no way the Lions were coming up with a goal line stand.

Ah gotcha, thanks. I like colored jerseys and hope that the whites-as-away jersey pattern goes away now that you can probably count the number of people watching football on black & white TVs on two hands.

Purely for the record, I have little to no antipathy for the refs themselves because how the gently caress can you expect consistently great work from a bunch of high school principals and lawyers and poo poo.

The most important people in the game being paid part-time by the league is a loving embarrassment.

Browns blew a 20 point lead and the refs sucked. You can't blame the entire thing on the refs.

pretty crazy finish to Detroit Vs. Green Bay

a white guy commits an infraction against a black guy.

law enforcement penalizes the black guy for the incident.

then the team that actually violated the rules wins.


That's way too On The Nose for 2019 America.

The refs are poo poo in every game, but blatant phantom calls or no calls in the most crucial situations constantly is hosed! Yes, the Lions should have turned more FGs into TDs, but in the world where the refs dont literally put the game in their hands - maybe that is enough to squeak a win. I didn't watch the whole of the browns game, but its harder to blame refs when kitchens hosed himself out of a TD to challenge a play, lose the challenge, call the same play and then get stuffed, and also for Baker to throw like 2 or 3 INTs.

Aaron Rodgers is a star player. I think that's all it is. Goose sales on jerseys that are already going to sell. You can't make a star out of someone like Mariota, but once a player makes themself a star, ride them as long as you can for as much money as you can.

Also, international gambling through shell corporations. And probably human sex trafficking.

The Packers went from being down 22-13 to winning 23 to 22. Everyone single one of those ten points was scored after the Detroit Defense sacked Rodgers on 3rd down and the refs turned around and gave Green Bay a first down on egregiously awful, phantom calls. It takes a special kind of stupid to blame that on the Lions. And that ignores the uncalled PI against GBs defense and the other awful calls in that game.

Browns would've won the Raiders and Seahawks game if they'd been called correctly to. Doesn't mean coaches and players didn't suck. How is it that hard to accept that both these things can be true?

At this rate I want the Lions to get jobbed the rest of the season for the tantrums

Absolutely is. Cam Newton said so. He got hit and asked why no flag, and Ed "Guns" Hochuli told him, "you ain't old enough for that flag." I don't think for a second that Cam made that up. It's too odd and specific.

Like, a hit on a QB is either legal or illegal. There's no clause about age that has poo poo to do with it.

Sneeze on Tom Brady, you get a flag. Maul Cam Newton, and it's cool.
