Lions got totally screwed by the officials tonight with that bogus hands to the face call.  That was the game changer.

Good on Booger McFarland for calling it like it is.  He will get a call tomorrow from Goodell;'s goons telling him to shut up though.

Those were absolutely terrible calls. If the Lions score TDs instead of FGs on short field and turnovers and you don't have to worry about the refs screwing calls.

and how many points do you need to overcome a fix.  The hands to the face BS was such a stretch you can't write it off to the normal ups and downs of officiating.  

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck

You actually think the game was a "fix"? lol

It was just two shitty calls, albeit close in live action. 

I hope Flowers goes nuts after the game, and the NFL will probably fine Booger too.

I'm just saying if the Lions were up 21 points and the Lions get bad calls, we're not as angry.

We all saw that coming the entire game. Packers claims a great comeback win but did nothing to deserve it. NFL is rigged

zero fairness, Lions played better and deserved to win, and were going to win, until the rigging started.  I don't know about any sports anymore.

I remember the last time the Lions were in the playoffs against Dallas.  The refs manufactured enough bullcrap so that Dallas won the game.  Same thing tonight.  I guess Detroit doesn't have enough pull in the league, they always get screwed.

I wouldn't go so far as to claim conspiracy, but the bias among NFL officials, particularly in favor of teams with renowned QBs like Rodgers, is so blatant as to completely undermine the integrity of the league. Tonight was an absolute disgrace.

It’s almost as if the league and the Lions have an agreement that it is ok to fuck the Lions over in order to determine their preferred outcome because I can’t ever remember the Lions being on the other side of some bullshit like this.  Also, nobody from the Lions ever challenges the league in the media when they do get fucked.  It’s pointless to be a fan of the Lions.

Dang, the Lions don't have a losing record, despite a lot of SOL things happening, mostly the referee prison sex scenario, 300 replies on Mgoboard for a Lion's game thread and today the sports world is on their side ​​​​?

Did the Universe just flip?
