Also the call when the lions secondary tackled the short guy. It's a penalty to tackle someone now? Jeeze.

You mean when the Lions defender smoked that dude with a blatant head shot?

 

[njean777]

That really leaves a bad taste. If I were Detroit I'd have left the field before handshakes.

If I were Detroit I would hunt down the refs (no joke).

Can somebody explain that tmz pic, did I miss something?

helmet to helmet has been a penalty for a while now yes

13-9 last game in Seattle

I see they won 34-14 in 2010 when they were mediocre

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Really was surprised by the crowd noise. I've never seen the Cowboys crowd that loud (in their favor) in that building

So congrats Seattle on your playoff pre season game with Carolina

And now its the 8-0 home team vs the 8-0 road team

 

[JNA]

It was one call. Both teams had possessions after that. If they let that one call beat them when there was still plenty of game to play, they are losers.

Yeah but I was just saying. XD

 

[VeryGooster]

So... what do people watch on Sunday nights...?

 

[Surge]

I've waited so long to get Dallas in the Playoffs.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Packers aren't avenging the Lions next week. They're avenging the 90s Packers.

Man, if they lose... fucking Cowboys tormented me all decade long until Aikman's brain turned into scrambled eggs.

 

[MechDX]

I cant do it. I just cant hurt my bro Dutch.

He is the only one here who has a love for Mallett and a love for JJ

 

[ZaCH3000]

The PI call was awful. But the non-calls on the horrific holds on the cowboys OTs on their last drive were just as bad. They saved sacks a good three times and never got a flag. The facemask hold being worst offender. I can't believe they didn't mention it in the replay.

Re watch that call. The WR grabbed the facemask creating what you think was PI but in reality it was the other way around.

Colts used to pump crowd noise in during the playoffs. Wouldn't be surprising if that were the case here.

Egregious officiating bullshit aside let's be honest, Detroit had opportunities to win that game.

Cowboys were handed the game on a silver platter. Detroit didn't deserve it, but the Cowboys definitely didn't deserve it.

 

[Haloid1177]

Technically it was shoulder pad to helmet...

 

[Syrinx]

The Lions did get away with a defensive hold on the Cowboys' third down before they went for it on fourth (well, according to Buck and Aikman; I don't have TV atm and had to watch at a restaurant).

 

[bionic77]

My Patriots hatred is all I have.

Not all you have.

You have my bow!

 

[Sulik2]

First half they made shitty calls against the Cowboys. Cowboys gave the Lions every opportunity to win the game and they couldn't do it.

Trying to win a game when the officials directly affect two scoring drives is a pretty big challenge to overcome.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I cant do it. I just cant hurt my bro Dutch.

He is the only one here who has a love for Mallett.

The real enemy is the colts

Agreed.

Celebrity Apprentice at 9PM EST on NBC!

And my sword.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Fuck the conservative play calling. That stupid punt...fuck that. 4th and 1. Play big or go fucking home. How the fuck do you go for a stupid 4th and long last week but pass up an obvious 4th and 1 this week?

 

[WordsintheWater]

Re watch that call. The WR grabbed the facemask creating what you think was PI but in reality it was the other way around.

Yup, Pettigrew grabbed Hitchens face mask

 

[njean777]

I don't know. Romo is pretty beat up. Doubt he will last as long as Payton or Brady. I could be wrong though.

 

[Narag]

They're mostly harmless.

 

[TheFatOne]

I can't let the officials off the hook like that. Refs clearly affected the outcome of this game which is something that should never happen. Detroit had opportunities to win the game, and when the defense made plays they were not called. Could have held the Cowboys to a field goal instead of a TD which changes everything.

Muslims, more likely

Playoff Lambeau isn't the same as it used to be. I worry every game now.

If Dutch was really my friend he would pull for the Ravens.

Your Son is not your friend. That's not how that works, E-Dad.

Sit through the Simpsons until Brooklyn Nine Nine comes on.

Its not. They would have done it years ago when the team was mocked nationally about it for a lot of games

 

[darkside31337]

Yeah the refs were the ones who gave up a 1st down on 4th and 6. The refs were the ones who decided to punt the ball away instead of trying to ice the game on 4th and not even 1.

 

[bionic77]

It's the white house.

A black president makes as much sense as a black Bond!

 

[JNA]

Well, nervous about every game from here on in.

 

[RBH]

:lol

 

[Barryman]

Yeah the refs were the ones who gave up a 1st down on 4th and 6.

To be fair, they ARE the ones that allowed holding by the Cowboys OL on every play of that drive.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

I cant do it. I just cant hurt my bro Dutch.

Now I'm all emotional

oh and I love that Lawrence got redemption. JUST FALL ON THE BALL

 

[WordsintheWater]

This is the shit I'm talking about, that flag pick up didn't win the game for the Cowboys. The balls on Garret to go for it on 4th and 6, I was questioning what he was doing, but I'm glad he did.

 

[metalslimer]

Seriously, I can't see how people are claiming the refs cost Detroit this game when a pass interference should have never been called and the refs gave Detroit the penalty to get out of their endzone and score a td in the 1st quarter. The refs were bad, yes, but Detroit lost this game all on their own. The lions even had a full 3 minutes and timeouts to score a td and they fumbled it twice. Detroit failed on every level in the 2nd half.

 

[Man God]

Who are the Patriots?

 

[bionic77]

Good night!

Is that FMT in the back with the Orange dildo?

Suh needs to thank whoever it was that got him off the suspension. Guy made himself some serious money today.

 

[Nori Chan]

Good night!

now i know why brady is in the picture

 

[Tenumi]

Caldwell said on PI pick-up, explanation from refs was "not good enough". Rather emphatically, actually, considering his usual demeanor.

One play does not a game make, but it's definitely not good to hear that.

has kas posted his "fuck the nfl" meltdown yet? we all have lives we need to get back to
