Game 16: January 1st, 2012, Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers

[Johnny Mac]

Mike Pereira - if you officials werent a bunch of ****ing *******es you wouldnt have to constantly review their decisions

[JAYB]

Hey, that's a touchdown! Just like the Lion's scored a touchdown earlier as well. Wow! Very good.

I know its pretty cool... The ref raised two hands on that one, now the awesome announcers are talking about TD review-- " lets make sure we get this right".

dog **** stupid...

[CapitalTigers]

Of course it isn't fixed in a true sense of the word, but to rule out a fanbase influence on a human element of officiating is naive.

[New_Age_X]

If we win this game I will be very surprised.

Also like someone else said about the leap. It is BS and should be a flag every time. It is excessive celebration no doubt.

[T&P_Fan]

Enough of the "game is fixed" ********. The refs are bad and the rules are worse. The nfl is not out to ensure the lions seeding comes down the Atlanta game at 4pm.

You need embrace the fact that weird **** happens behind the scenes. I saw an NBA ref go to jail and specifically said he cheated against two Pistons players.

The Lions are being treated differently every game...something is being said to the refs before the game.

[waffel]

Jump into the crowd after a TD if you're in green bay? That's cool! Even if it takes like 15 seconds.
Fall on the ground after a TD? Penalty!

Mike Pereira - if you officials werent a bunch of ****ing *******es you wouldnt have to constantly review their decisions

I don't understand why they even have him on there. Its either two things from him. One being wrong and the other standing up for the refs.

[T&P_Fan]

Come on Titus.

[New_Age_X]

Almost another TD that even if he would have hung on would have been called a non TD.

[tigerbomb13]

Ugh. So close.

[Motor City Sonics]

If that was a Packers player, that's a touchdown.

[Shelton]

Yep. The refs have a secret meeting every week to talk about screwing the lions.

They just aren't good. And the rules for replay are asinine. That's all it is.

[CapitalTigers]

lions set the precedence early in the year and gave the nfl excuse to microreferee their games. It's bs and shouldn't be permitted at pro level, but it is what it is.

[New_Age_X]

You need embrace the fact that weird **** happens behind the scenes. I saw an NBA ref go to jail and specifically said he cheated against two Pistons players.

This. You can't ever tell me that he is the only guy who ever has had his hand in the cookie jar in these games. Its human nature to feel like you can justify it or get away with it.

Hell even one of the greatest baseball players of all time in Rose bet on baseball games.

[Kamakzie]

The ruling on the field is confirmed... NFL refs suck!

[ycm57]

Well, I do agree there is some bias at times (not like in the NBA), but calling Green Bay a big market team is a tad off.

So I should qualify my statement. By “big market team”, I’m talking merchandise sales, viewership/game attendance, marketing spend, team revenue, etc… Not referring to actual city population.

[The Ronz]

Why was there an "Official Review" after the Packers last TD? What were they reviewing? The TD came prior to the two minute warning so nothing was reviewable. If the officials were reviewing anything connected to the TD this game is blatantly fixed.

[Motor City Sonics]

And watch the next defensive series. Suh or Avril are totally being held on every single play. Just keep an eye on that, it's insane. Suh has been flat out tacked twice today and no call.

[New_Age_X]

Yep. The refs have a secret meeting every week to talk about screwing the lions.

They just aren't good. And the rules for replay are asinine. That's all it is.

Dude come on then explain what is going on every week? Sure we aren't a great team but then why do we get calls on us that no other team ever gets it seems?

[waffel]

****ing Megatron........

[Beantown Marty]

WTF.

[Shelton]

Catch the ****ing ball.

Refs' fault.

[tigerbomb13]

Ugh. Calvin???

[Motor City Sonics]

Come on Calvin...................you HAVE to catch that.


I have not been this mad watching a sporting event in a long, long time. I just want to break something.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

They just aren't good. And the rules for replay are asinine. That's all it is.

Yup.

[JAYB]

Stafford with 4 TD's today...

[Johnny Mac]

WHAT A CRAPPY *** ****ING GAME

[Beantown Marty]

it seems

Key phrase...

[tigerbomb13]

Hanson shanks a short one. Awesome.

[T&P_Fan]

My god.

This teams lack of preparation is laughable.

[New_Age_X]

Now a drop and a missed FG man o man.

[Shelton]

Dude come on then explain what is going on every week? Sure we aren't a great team but then why do we get calls on us that no other team ever gets it seems?

You watch all 16 games per week? Wow.

[CapitalTigers]

Lol. Bring on new Orleans.

[jonjd]

Hanson is done.

Just kidding.

May the 2nd half bring better fortune for all of us.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

My god.

This teams lack of preparation is laughable.

Missing a field goal is lack of preparation?

How should they prepare?

[T&P_Fan]

Matt Flynn might as well be Aaron Rodgers.

Not one good player in the secondary.

[Shelton]

Missing a field goal is lack of preparation?

How should they prepare?

They should prepare MORE.

[kgeorge78]

wow this is a terrible game so far. The refs suck but they didn't cause Nate and Logan to fumble or Smith to suck or Calvin to miss that catch.

HAVE to win this game.... Jeez

[CapitalTigers]

I think it's more concerning we're losing against a second string line up a game before possibly playing Saints.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]
