Summary of Newman's performance today:

They were the beneficiaries of some bad calls, but that isn't why they lost.

There was one kick return that was ruled a fumble that clearly wasn't but the video replay wasn't the right angle to overturn the call. Another play earlier in the game was where the TE was clearly down and then had the ball ripped out. Again, called a fumble and Detroit had to waste a challenge on it. Then, out of challenges, the refs missed a clear TD by Titus Young in the endzone, calling it incomplete. Replay showed he was in but they had no more challenges left.

That last one was kind of mind-boggling as the official was in the perfect position to see it, but oh well. Such is life.

No, that's not life. I'm sick of these bullshit calls by refs just because the Lions have a so called "reputation". They're costing us games.

Refs need to call games fair and not be more on the lookout for certain teams. Thats why I feel kind of bad for Raiders fans, just because of there reputation refs are quicker to throw the flag on them, than they would another team.

That wasn't a fumble and that call turned the whole game around.

Props to the Pack and Flynn though I'm not trying to take anything away. We should've won but oh well. We'll see them after we beat the Aints.

That would be hilarious
