OT: MNF Lions at Cowboys Open Thread

Submitted by We are back on December 26th, 2016 at 7:48 PM

Highly anticipated game, Cowboys aren't resting their starters and Lions are trying to secure a playoff spot without Slay, Swanson, and Riddick. Graham Glasgow is making his 3rd start at center for Detroit. Go Lions

Dez initiated the contact by grabbing and pushing his face mask

Gruden complementing dez's concentration bc he can catch a ball while grabbing a facemask.

Gruden can stop gushing anytime now. Bryant grabbing the facemask and pulling the DET defender into him doesn't make him great.

Actually it kinda does. Pulling him in for him a PI call. Turns out he didn't need it, but it worked.

No number given on phantom holding when we stop them on 3rd down and then no face mask penalty on Bryant. Par for the course.

He was pulling on his grill. That's the one hand the ref could actually see!

Lions getting a little Buckeye special on that play.

Always. So, Detroit will never get the calls against them. That offsetting penalty play is a perfect example.

No the refs work for the NFL and they are doing as instructed. They will get excellent grades cause they are calling the game as the NFL has requested. Only people unhappy are Lions fans and there are about 100 Cowboy fans for every one Lion fan.

There are glamor franchises in the NFL and the shield does everything to protect and assist them. If your playing one of them you have to beat the other team and the officials.

You're not the only one.

Dallas is a more talented team. Sucks even more when all 50-50 calls go Dallas' way.

Lee just smacks into Ebron two seconds too early....no PI call.
