Board 8 > NFL Discussion Topic Week 6

(+) Yeah! (+)

my poor lionz no one wants them to win
---

Won my fantasy matchup by .7 points so thats cool
---

I'm done with the NFL, fuck that. I'll suffer through Michigan football cuz at least the refs aren't out to get you. Garbage.

---

I like that the holder did his own Lambeau Leap as if he deserved it
---

Of all the times to hose the Lions and rip their hearts out, they do it at the Packers
---

wow what a magical comeback by the packers

just how did they do it
---

I'm sorry Lions fans but this is pretty much what we had to suffer through in New England for a decade under Patricia if we didn't have Brady bailing his ass out
---

that and Kraft paying the refs of course
---

speaking of the Pats who's excited about Pats/Jets on MNF next week
---

LMAO even Rodgers was like: "that didn't really feel like a win"

one of the more egregious Ref screwjobs I think I've ever seen. It was nice to see the announcer not let up on how terrible it was. Hopefully it won't be swept under the rug and the refs responsible will be taken to task for it, but I doubt it.
---

Booger trashing the refs is the only time in his entire broadcasting career that he has said something of relevance
---

I feel dirty
---

But you were.
---

I mean let's be fair, Crosby was probably gonna hit the field goal at the end anyway.

But the DPI is what REALLY cost the Lions, because they were absolutely gonna get another field goal at least.

Oh and let's not forget that it was DEFINITELY a catch and a fumble out of bounds on that other play.

Just atrocious refereeing.

Scott has been the best player on the Packers' roster relative to his position, so I'd say he deserved it.

I'm ready for another KC MNF style blowout for the Cheatriots so the fans finally wake up to the fact the team is trash and be mad at Belichick for having no insurance for his running game because he relied on one FB
---

honestly, as a Packer fan.....I'm at a lost. I don't think I've ever felt this unhappy after a win. We don't deserve it. Not that way. The refs literally handed us the game on two bogus calls. One bad call...it happens I guess. But two? On third down? Unbelievable.

I mean, I guess I can say this our payback for the Fail Mary game the refs took from us many years ago, but I'm not really buying that.
---

as a Cowboys fan I'd take an illegitimate win at this point imhotbqh

Yeah, but the Lions have a minute-40 to try and score.

Three or four actually bro

The non-call on the DPI was pretty egregious too.
---

Sticking around to see if Patricia says anything during the post-game press conference
---

I hope Patricia goes in about the officiating and hopefully as many people as possible do too.
---

at the very least that's all they've talked about on the scott van pelt sportscenter so far
---

well it's a good tip for all offensive lineman in the future that all they have to do to draw hands to the face penalties is just lean their heads back

Not to ruffle feathers, but I actually am not completely sold on that DPI. It looked to me like he put his hand on his chest. I didn't see any real pressure applied or impedment of the arms. I guess maybe by the letter of the law it could be called that. But it didnt seem like an obvious or egregious penalty.

Watching Scott Van Pelt, he did make a good point. Lions settled for a lot of field goals in this game. That was their chance to take this game out of the refs hands. But dang, teams should be able to rely on refs in this league and not have to worry about that.

Nah man, go look at it again. Van Pelt went over it. The defender doesn't turn to look at the ball and he's making contact. That's all you need for DPI. He absolutely affected the receiver's ability to get to the ball too.
---

your first mistake is relying on refs to make the right calls, always play with the assumption that calls go against you so you can't blame anyone but your owner for not paying the refs

Once again, the refs were absolutely awful on both sides. They missed a DPI on the Lions that was literally the same level as the NFC Championship

I'm not gonna say more than that, they fucked the Lions hard on the last drive, but they were terrible for both sides.

If they didn't do anything about the officiating after the NFC Championship, which they just added a rule that the refs are allowed to protest for some reason, this game isn't going to change anything

Dude the whole country including other Packer fans acknowledge that it was especially awful toward the Lions lol

---

"Awful on both sides" STFU Koala jesus christ
---

and I acknowledged the last drive was especially awful towards the lions. I know it's hard to read for people in Michigan to read more than 10 words but you can do it

to say the rest of the game before that wasn't awful on both ends is just being ignorant
---

I heard someone talking about how TV stations hiring good refs to talk about officiating during the game has ironically left a dearth of good refs to actually call games, especially with reviews.
---

the entire fourth quarter was the officiating GIVING Green Bay the victory bro

you wanna talk about not being able to read then maybe you need to get your eyes checked coz you saw something completely separate from the rest of us.
---

admittedly i forgot the two hands to the faces were different drives. but I also already admitted the refs fucked the lions. it's not like I'm saying the packers deserved the win

Ah, yeah, my bad. I thought this picture of the ref tonight was funny.

"Michigan people can't read"

>forgets something that happened an hour ago

---

all right, so you're a fucking idiot and I'm a fucking idiot

there, we're even
---

Patricia and Stafford both diplomatic at the podium
---

Patricia and Stafford refused to blast the refs

mostly because they know they'll get fined if they do I guess

Ridiculous.

Take your fine like a man and call those assholes out.

Take your fine like a man and call those a******s out.

agreed. Detroit fans (and even most NFL fans) would be behind them 100%.

---

I think some of it is also just the football mentality of "don't blame others when you lose" especially with coaches

need to be more like NBA coaches who aren't afraid to poke at the refs
---

I wonder if they even had a chance to see how bad those calls were

---

well I'm sure they saw the replays on jumbotrons
---

that alone makes me not care as much about the calls

if you're just gonna take it and shut up about it then I have very little desire to defend you anymore. Enjoy last place then.

So much for changing the mentality.
