Lions forum meltdown

[Sports Hernia]

I feel for them. I know what it's like when a big time franchise has help from the league.

I also want to know why Dez wasn't flagged for coming off the bench to argue the call on the field. Isn't that unsportsmanlike conduct?

Diva didn't get a penalty because he's "the NFL Golden boy" at his position. Why does he get away with so much OPI? the NFL is like the NBA when it comes to officiating and the "superstars" can get away with just about anything.

Wasn't it the Detroit fans who made Super Bowl XL a home game for the steelers?

No, stealer fans travel well and it's like a 4 hour drive from Pissburgh to Detroit.

So do officials.

Honestly, prior to that hideous call, the refs had been screwing over Dallas mercilessly. And you all know how much I hate Dallas, so they were getting screwed over pretty bad....I liked it

I would agree with this. Early in the game I was thinking "wow they really want Seattle to have to play Detroit over Carolina enough to screw over the Cowboys?"

Just went on and checked the site - Pissburg fan posted that Lions got hosed by the calls, talk about calling the kettle black.

Ouch.

Well turning a 5 into a 6 could be easily done if he wants to bank it for next year. But yeah if that doesn't pan out better hope they could do it in 2018.

He could also just change the word "Champs" to "Chumps" lol

This pretty much sums it up. Dallas held so much on that last drive I thought I was watching fights between two hockey teams.

There were 3 penalties on that play.

Defensive holding.

Defensive pass interference.

Unsportsmanlike conduct on Bryant.

Three penalties, all ignored.

To Detroit all I can say is "karma baby". Your city and mayor sucked during XL. You get what you deserve.

Yeah the guy that called OPI on D-Jack that was born and raised and still resided in Pissburgh, PA took his motor home and partied with Stealer fans for several days before the game.





I'd drop in the "sarcasm off" thingy here, but since it's actually possible, I'm leaving it out.

Dez Bryant had his helmet off the whole time (defense was on the field).

So he never "took off his helmet".
