The officials are terrible this season.

The ref's have blown their whistles and flagged the Lions so many times during the past few weeks that they must have broken their whistles and ran out of flags :-)

Right you are bud...the Lions are always on the wrong ends of calls. Most of them deserved I may add......Stupid penalties at the wrong time have been a mainstay in the Lions playbook over the last few season. Stupid penalties may very well have cost them the Green Bay and the New Orleans games----and with the playoffs at risk another stupid penalty may have cost them the game....but this time for some reason it wasn`t called. I can`t help wonder if it had anything to do with the Lions being a playoff contender and the Vikes are out of the picture.

It’s Ref-anitis. Or its time the NFL added optical to the Ref’s comp package.

We all saw it clearly after about 10 beers-------and 40 yds away. Maybe they should start making it mandatory for the refs to shotgun 6 pk after the end of each quarter.
