OT: Lions venting thread / dead inside

Fucking joke.  I have stated many time, there is a universal law I have stated many times for all sports and even all situations. When in doubt: "Fuck Detroit".

Need I say more?

I feel nauseous after that game.  I'm somewhere between intensely angry and despondent.

Why do I still cheer for the Lions?  They do nothing but break my heart every year.

Same old...you know. Tried to hang on, lost offensive aggressiveness, pussed out on 4th and 1, and got screwed on a call. Many ways to lose a football game, Lions have always been gifted at all of them.

I am not a Lions or a Cowboys fan, so I don't really have a dog in this fight. Definitely, the PI pickup was pretty egregious. I have no clue what the refs were thinking with that decision. However, the team just imploded: mental mistakes, terrible oline play, and a wretched 3rd down defense. Yes, that PI pickup sucked, but it did not decide the game. It's like the old same goes: Act like you've been there before. I guess in the case for the Lions, most haven't - so maybe they just don't get it. Either way, good game and tough loss. Hopefully they get an oline in the offseason to protect Stafford.

I knew the Lions were gonna lose the second they decided to punt on that 4th and 1. Terrible decision to play it so conservative. Led to the 10 yard shanked punt and you know the rest. Sigh

Rigged

cmon

Everyone go watch this. It will make you feel better.

But the m-fucking NFL did this as much as anyone.  You can go 2-3 years of watching NFL football without seeing some jerk off ref pick up the flag.  But THEY picked up that one at THAT time. Well Holy Shit, Jerry Jones almost didn't win at home against Detroit? Well that is just unacceptable, and it was.

Universal law proven once again, always, when there is the opportunity, F Detroit. Hockey, Football, whatevert, Doesn't really matter.

Waited an awful long time. To have it go down like this is, to Jerry and Tony and every other freaking Cowboy fan couldn't feel much worse. Soul dong punch.

next week if they had won.  That is a tough place to play.

It was a good 30 seconds after the call was made. Who made that decision? Jerry have his own challenge button?

He was HC when they were 0-16, was 10-38 overall for Lions, then beats us defensively has the Dallas DC.  Man he hates us

I didn't have a horse in this race. I dislike both teams, Leos because of a few dirty players and the Cowboys because of Jerra. That said, the Leos got hosed on some egregious calls. Very obvious ones. Smelled like home cooking. Hard to fix an nfl playoff game but this one seemed a bit fishy.

have never seen that happen at any level, at any time, in any league.  we drive 70 yds from our 4 yd line, we would've had the ball on their 30 with a 1st down.   sure, the 4th and 1 punt is easy to second guess and i'll join you, but with the lions driving and getting hosed in an epic fashion, i hope the dallas cowboys get beaten like a rented mule next week.  unbelievable. 

The PI puts the ball on the 29, the 15 yard penalty on Dez puts the ball on the 14. Instead of the punt giving them a short field they have to go from the 20, down 6. And that's at the worst case scenario. It changes things.

NFL has it in for the Lions.  They want a big market team like Dallas to advance.  Pretty obvious with the horseshit attempted suspension and the calls in this (and the Pittsburgh) game.  Done with Goodell's NFL.
