Lakeshark;
You aren’t used to bad calls against the Lions?
Dude, get a grip!
The 2013 opening game against the Bears destroyed that Lions team according to both morale and their season; and that was GAME-FRIKKIN-ONE!
That team (Lions 2013) , I would proffer was an NFC championship team from the git-go! Good-god; Stafford 5-gazillion yards and still second best?
That said, bad calls happen every game due to human error. Now how does something like the soft balls fit into a 45-7 final score? Let that sink in...45-7.
Meh, the Lions (and Cowboys v GB !) have a bigger and better concern for officiating than The Dolts this year!
I AM a Lions fan. They were genuinely robbed by perhaps the worst no call (or changed call) I've ever seen. I doubt they would have beat the Packers, and then the Seahawks.
My comments on the Patriots "scandal" have all been tongue in cheek. I''m sorry that you didn't see the sarcasm in them.
Like I said without sarcasm: Once the balls were changed back to regulation in the seond half, they scored 28 freaking unanswered points and made the Colts look like fools. Anyone who can look at that and say this is a serious scandal that gave the Patriots an unfair advantage needs their head examined.
