Refs put their foot ON the gas

More like they crimped the line.

I was just watching Fox Post game show. Suh and Revis, Dennard and others were having words. Anyone know what started it?

I have no idea WTF the refs in this game were watching. Detroit is an extremely stupid, extremely undisciplined team. They take their cue from their "leader" Suh. I took special enjoyment seeing the Pats run him over at the goal line after he made a spectacle of himself earlier in that last drive. He thinks it's all about him. Anti-team player to the max. Green Bay will leave them gasping for playoff air and the way they approach the game, I expect them to MISS the playoffs.

I'm not really a big fan of blaming the refs for mistakes. I think a couple of calls were questionable, other than that they played pretty loosely and you can bet Bellichick will ride them all week in practice about that.

I'll take a wild guess and say Suh.

Tons of talent, but year in and year out they end up being less than the sum of their parts.

I know I laughed pretty hard at that hard count he jumped on.

gang, I hate being overly optimistic when it comes to this team but...we got a good team and a good defense this year, we really do.

We have improvements to make like we would any week but we got a good team this year.

Next week will be THE measuring stick for this defense.

Again, we are a lucky fan base...

I must say I was surprised how they shut down Detroit.

Stafford 49.5 rating today ..... ouch.

The reported his completion percentage was the lowest by a QB since the merger. Hard to believe but that's what they said.

Feels like we left a few points out there….especially the INT.

Which shouldn't have happened, since Gronk was essentially tackled on the play.

Lol oh I have no doubt. I was more curious what was said.

Nice -grind it out- win today. Offense executed the game plan well and put us well ahead and the defense was superb, getting lots of pressure, containing the run and beautiful secondary play.

Had to shake my head at posters who expected the Lions to lay down and give us the game in the second half. Played well enough to keep them from coming back and that's what counts. They weren't going to let us rip off 6 yards a carry and we sure didn't need risky passes to give them a chance.

Grind it out, another satisfying win.

Probably just a series of grunts.

Doesn't Andy Dalton have him beat with his 2.0 (lol)? Maybe they meant specifically for Lions QBs.

I don't know. It wasn't passer rating though, it was specifically completion percentage. I'm pretty sure they weren't just talking about Detroit.
