What percentage of Lions losses since 2011, the Lions' first playoff season, do you think had a refereeing controversy that went against Detroit?

40%? 50%? 75%?

40% is high but it's regularly a game a season for the past several years, and always an important one. The Atlanta game in 2015(?) and the Texans Thanksgiving game immediately jump to mind.

N: The Packers receivers combined for 7+ drops, a lost fumble, and were the cause of an interception.

V: The only reason the Lions even had a chance was because the Packers receivers were conspiring to throw the game because you have to be trying to be so bad.

Gotta factor in two controversies in two losses this year, and three playoff losses with ref controversies.

The Lions' postgame show is openly speculating that the league is rigging games against the Loins for not being a big enough name of a team.

LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AS IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT!
I think Jimmy Graham's career slide started with the Saints/Patriots game in 2013 where Aqib Talib mugged him every play and the NFL realized he was a giant bitch if you put tight coverage on him. The fact that he's still in the league six years later is laughable

To suggest that jobbing games is about team favoritism and not money is just asinine.

Literally the KHL is rigged and yet people think American sports, the Pinnacle of capitalism, isn't corrupt.

You can only do so much at a certain point.

Texans missing their RT and their only good CB, both out for at least a month. I'm worried

On the other hand I just hit up a nearby 24 hour taco truck so all my worries are melting away

Trust me, the refs tried to give the game away to the Cowboys, last week against GB and this week against the Jets.

The Cowboys are just too bad! They keep putting people like Jason Garrett and Kellen Moore in charge of things!

I actually forgot how bad the officiating was in last week's Cowboys Packers and the 7 penalties in a row in yesterday's game because I'm hung up on how loving bad it was tonight as well. Christ that was a loving mess too.

Refs bad. Goodell and Kraft are involved with the Russian state sanctioned mafia. The NFL has their fingers in international gambling through shell corporations. And probably human sex trafficking to, because why not?
