Refs gave Dallas the game no question

Former NFL ref @RefereeJimD tweeted that he has no idea why the flag was picked up for the Dez play. Also says Dez should have been flagged.

**** happens Detroit choked the game away

There were a lot of these. Lol

Is that a holding call or the start of a WWE chokeslam?

I don't feel sorry for the Lions, a bunch of dirty players, starting with Suh and their center. With that being said, there was some strange penalties and reversal calls. Hope we get that home cooking next week. lol

Someone said here they wish our oline could give Brady that time. Well if you can hold then you can.

There's a lot of those in every game. You know how many people in NOLA show me a picture of an uncalled hold on the Brady Thompkins TD pass last year when they find out I'm a Pats fan?

Yeah, in general screw that team but the larger issue is the inconsistent reffing. I hate feeling like the league is altering results with the officiating but it seems to be getting worse every year. For as much as people still talk about the tuck rule we've been screwed on big calls pretty consistently since 2005.

 

[Guts]

Don't know why people complain about the refs...horrible call but ultimately the Lions had a chance to win the game late and they couldn't do it. They choked the game away

 

[Mark12]

If the Pats lost this way, I would be disgusted. What a travesty.

2006 AFC Championship game ring a bell?

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

The Cowboys got pretty well raped by the refs too. I'd call it an equal opportunity screw job by the refs.

Yes. And screw Suh and Rialo (spelling?). Karma be-oches. The calls went to Dallas in the long run. I'm better with that than the Lions.. BTW, Wouldn't you love the media outrage if it were the Pats getting screwed? They're as bad as the refs

[Rob0729]

Can someone explain to me why when the games count the most that they decide to break up all the ref crews and let guys who never worked together before call games?

That and super bowl 42 with the ridiculous hold in the Tyree catch.

Random comment:

That "We Dem Boyz" song they play constantly throughout the Cowboys game makes my ears bleed

 

[Delicate Genius]

NFL VP of Officiating Dean Blandino is getting grilled on Twitter by fans and media. Remember he was caught leaving Jerry Jones' party bus last August.

 

[kennyb]

Detroit are stinkers and they just got lousy bummed by the refs.

quite ironic considering YOU believe anything printed in that preposterous,ignorant, disingenuous sig you stick in everyone's face everytime you post
