Lions vs Cowboys


Recommended Posts

Here's a scenario....let's give Detroit the ball on the PI. Why is it always assumed that that equals 7 points? The way Dallas was playing, Detroit only scored 3 points in the second half. They could have been held to a FG, fumbled it away, thrown an INT, missed the FG, turned it over on downs. So why is the only scenario for the losers the one where Detroit scores a TD? Every team says just give them the ball one more time and they will win. Then the clock runs out and the loser mentality takes over.

The one play did not decide the game. For me it was the lack of hding calls on blatant infractions in the 4th quarter, ones that definitely effected the play multiple times.

OMG!!!! The ref thats threw the flag got it wrong then the refs got together and made the right call. At first I thought it was PI, then I seen the play from other angles, like the other refs, and thought maybe not. If anything there was more facemask on that play by the TE. Why isn't anybody arguing about that?

If you get upset over blown calls, you shouldn't watch football or any other sport. 1 blown call ...that's a good day.

As bad as that blown call was, it happens, though this particular one is as bad as they come. Its the multitude of no calls that set Dallas up to win that drove me nuts.

The obvious holding on every play of the Lions 2nd drive drove me nuts, guess it evened out eventually in its own way.

I think considering that one of the most-feared defensive players in the league should not have been on the field, but was allowed to play anyway, Detroit got a pretty good deal. There were calls missed both ways, but if you'd told Detroit before the game that Suh could play, but it would cost them one controversial blown PI call, they'd have taken it in a heartbeat.

SKINS, all this talk of blown calls helping the cowboys... Instead of griping about the cowboys, why don't you talk to us about the blown calls that cost YOUR team those 12 games...

I don't think I've had to overly yell at refs for costing us, as I've said all year, our coach did most of the damage.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
