Not a fan of indoor fireworks. Laser light shows are much better. No smoking in an indoor stadium and then you choke on fireworks smoke haze. -
Philly used a RB by committee, didn't they? I saw an early season game where they were rotating 3 running backs and had very good success. That helps keep them all a bit more fresh too.

Could be the flu that was going around the clubhouse?
-
Yeah, and it was a high school all stsr game when Brown did it. He's matured since then...

That's true but the Cowboy game was a unique incident.Thetlre are many games where the TV announcers show a replay and it shows what the call really should have been. Have officials watching each and every game and buzz down when a call is made wrong. What I'm getting at is just do something to get calls right. What they're doing isn't working, just do something.
-
They would be more accountable and they would spend more time with the rule book getting calls right. I don't know if it would make a major difference but the optics wouldn't look as bad as part time referees. Use more instant replay. The main thing is to get calls right in real time, not the following week.
-
Make the necessary changes to full time officials and a couple reviews per team on penalties. That would solve a huge amount of the human errors.
-
Look, several teams have gotten boned this season by the officials. And looking at the last several years, it is a continuing problem. It's time the NFL went to full-time officials. Along with making sure they aren't into gambling. And allow video review of selected penalties. Their calls has changed much of the NFC playoff seeding.
-
I would say she has to be very, very careful. I was thinking about this last night, the more people complain about the officials, the less likely we'll get any calls our way. Officials may resent the fact that one of their own is getting publicly hammered. They may all start sticking up for each other and really stick it to the Lions. Or maybe not, I'm not into conspiracy theories.
-
But legal gambling makes it so very easy to cheat. Have a distant relative make the wager. But the Lions still covered the point spread so I'm not sure how they would make a straight win or lose bet.
-
I kinda understand keeping the football team and the Ford business seperate. For all we know, she may not even be able to threaten the Ford advertising money to the NFL. It may be out of her hands. At least, for all we know...
-
With no timeouts, not much could have been done even if the Luons heard the referee screw up. He probably would have gotten them for a delay of game.
-
I didn't catch if Campbell mentioned him or not. I thought he was close to returning and wondered why he wasn't even asked about.
-
I saw on Good Morning Foorball this morning that the Vikings aren't officially eliminated. It would be great to send them into their off-season. When is James Houston returning?
-
How about Houston? We need him for the playoffs.
-
Ouch;
-
Must win. Gotta keep this winning streak going. 😆
-
Yeah, facing reality. You'll lose every time. 🤔🤔
-
The Lions are in a 2nd tier of teams. Probably the 2nd or 3rd best team in the NFC. And probably also behing Baltimore and Miami. We need an edge rusher to go along with Hutch, a CB and maybe a receiver. Patience...and believe Campbell when he says we're close, very close...the future is bright!
-
Yeah, just a delayed knee jerk reaction. Let the NFL cheat. As long as the legal gambling sites make billions of dollars. I'm sure the referees families and friends have the inside scoop. Their credibility is in the toilet...
-
It doesn't really matter. Nobody is going to beat Baltimore anyway. They're playing on a different level. Maybe next year...
-
If we're locked into the 3 seed and Vikings need to beat us to make the playoffs...Campbell should come out and tell fans to bet Vikings. Rest ALL his players...break the gambling sites banks. Put them ALL out of business...maybe the referees won't get paid anymore. But he won't, he's prolly mostly cooled off and resigned to the fact that we got screwed....again.
-
I guess we have to root for Philly to get the 2 seed and go one and done. That would get the Lions a 2nd home game, I think? Or 2 Phiily losses and a Dallas loss to go along with a win against the Vikings and we'll still be the 2 seed? These part time referees are a joke, fire them all.
