Lions V. Pats Post Game Thread

I used to think Arrington would be a 2015 cap casualty, but he's earned his contract and then some this year. Maybe it's been his time with Revis, because he's even been a pretty good outside CB to complement his great slot game.

Revis, Browner, and Arrington is the best CB trio in the NFL and it really isn't that close IMO. There are just very little passing windows when they are out there.

The defense is some additional front 7 talent away in 2015 from potentially the best D in the NFL. We may already have it if Jones takes another step forward and Easley breaks out in his second year.

What was legal? Raiola going for Moore's knees?? No, it wasn't. It was clearly intent to injure and he said as much after the game..

We add Chandler Jones and Siliga, and Mayo next year. I think that this is indeed a top defense if Easley continues to improve. BTW, this presumes re-signing Chung, Ayers, Branch and Casillas. Of course, it also presumes that Revis is still here.

my only thoughts on the game are that if we never see that ref team again it will be too soon.

two games, two HORRIBLY biased ref jobs.

The offenseive PI on gronk.

the ticky tack block in the back on minitrons return td, numerous other ******** calls, and a complete lack of calls on the lions.

The PI call on Gronk was terrible. The call on Chung during the punt return was fine. Whether he pushed him or not, his hands were on him and the gunner fell to the ground. Refs see that and they're going to call the block in the back penalty.

The D has lost two of its top 5 players, and its still this good. Really impressive.

Revis is the key though - he changes the way we can play on the back-end. Need him healthy, and need him re-signed.

The D is better without Mayo, I hate to say it....

Browner was EXCELLENT yesterday. Now, we know that he had help over the top on Megatron, but I think he was as good yesterday as Revis. I read that they were 1-10-17 yards targetting Revis (which makes them 2-16-22 yards in the last 2 games) and I have seen Browner numbers but for the majority of the game they weren't even trying to throw on him.

Belichick8384 - You can disagree all you want but that doesn't change the fact that you're wrong about the Pats "lack of discipline".

The refs clearly missed the holding by Pettigrew on the 1st play of the game that sprung Tate.
Three plays later on Tate's 17 yard pass play, there is a clear pick (Offensive Pass Interference) by #10, Corey Fuller I believe.
The Holding Call on Vollmer was ridiculous because his hands stayed inside the defensive players shoulders and he didn't grab the jersey.
They refs missed the entire Detroit Defensive line being lined up off-sides on the 3rd and 5 that resulted in a pass to Edelman.
The Holding call on Chung when he supposedly held Fauria was complete fiction. Chung never had the jersey. There was contact inside the 5 yards, but that was it.
The refs missed an illegal hands to the face by the D-lineman that was tied up with Wendell on Blount's 1st TD.
The Detroit RT had his hands on Ninkovich's facemask on the swing pass to Joique Bell that was blown up 3 yards behind the LOS.
The Holding Call on Collins was another work of fiction. Collins didn't grab the jersey nor hold the receiver.
The Offside call that they claimed was Collins was actually #55 Ayers.
The flag on Arrington in the 2nd Half was another work of fiction.
The False Start on Lafell was garbage. Lafell had literally just taken his stance when the side judge threw. He had never been set. So to claim a false start was ludicrous.
Vince Wilfork got dragged to the ground in the 2nd half on a play where he was clean up the middle and would have plastered Stafford and no call was made.
The OPI on Gronkowski was another work of fiction. Gronkowski and Levy collided within the 5 yards and then Levy held Gronkowski from getting away. Calling off-setting penalties there was pure BS.

I don't have a problem with you "disagreeing", but you should, at least offer up some substance to your disagreement..

I will say I hope to god to never see Corrente's crew ref another game for us this year. He is neck in neck for worse ref crew with Boger.
