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.

Yeah, it's the refs fault the Lions had to settle for 5 field goals.

I mean, 5 field goals would've been enough if the game had been called correctly, so what the gently caress are you talking about?

It applies to the Saints/Rams game as well.

lovely officiating and play can happen in the same game.

Yeah and they actually did something about that, because the Saints are a real team.

This happens to the Lions at least once a year, usually more than that and people just go "eh you should've played better" and everyone forgets about it.

Don't be so poo poo that you can lose on 1 bad call. This can be true along with officiating being poo poo.

How about 3+ bad calls?

You mean like the Browns Raiders game last year? Dude it still applies. Just because you're a Lions fan that just got jobbed doesn't mean your redzone offense wasn't utter trash.

Don't have 12 men on the field, Packers settle for a field goal, Lions win despite incompetence

Both don't be stupid and refs suck are true

You're trying, I'll give you that.

Saying "refs are bad, but" lets the NFL off the hook. I'm tired of the NFL getting let off the hook for this.

It allowed the Packers to run the clock down and ensure Detroit couldn't get the ball back after the FG which they would have if that play had been called correctly.

It's not like this Matt Stafford guy is known for comebacks or anything....
