Week Eleven: Detroit Lions (6-3) @ Philadelphia Eagles (7-2)

[lordstanley]

HORRIBLE call!!

[Motown Bombers]

Now you throw that flag. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

What a rotten ****ing call

[Jason_R]

Pathetic. Does anyone have some batteries?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

In no way was that PI. On no planet was that PI.

[Sports_Freak]

Refs saved the Lions more offensive embarrassment. 😉😉

[Motown Bombers]

They've let them play all game and call that. 

[Adullin]

Refs stepped in 

[TP_Fan]

Don’t even care about the call.  You scored 9 points.  They weren’t scoring anyway.   That’s about the season.  Not likely to make playoffs after this. 

[Sports_Freak]

How did Philly lose 2 games? To the Giants no less.

[GalagaGuy]

What a horse**** PI call.  

[lordstanley]

Lions should have had the ball back at around their own 25 with 1:40 to go and one timeout.

Division games are hard.

Only thing out of the picture now is the bye, won’t gain 3 games on the Eagles. #2 likely out too, to the Rams.  But are still likely to be anywhere between #3-#7. 

[TP_Fan]

Questions need to be asked.  No coach performed worse this weekend than Campbell. Lions now on the outside looking in for the playoffs.  They are much more likely to miss the playoffs than make it.  And if the coaching continues at this level they almost certainly miss.

Lions offense tonight;

Sure but odds are based on the night we don't do anything with.  The difference is early in the game we were way to aggressive in going for it and not getting it.  Then we got into throwing only mode and Goff cant handle interior pass rush so he turned into a pumpkin.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

No team gets robbed by the refs like the Lions.

Niners gonna jump them. 

[RatkoVarda]

too bad NBC does employ a fulltime ex-NFL referee who could have commented on the PI call

He'll take responsibility for it but don't expect changes its who they are.

True.  Definitely the 2nd best team on the field and didn’t deserve win. But sometimes you can fluke one out and I hate being robbed of that chance, even if was only a 10% chance.

Watching the KC v Denver game, I think I might just about be ready for new PI rules. Tossing the ball up hoping for a bailout is getting old. The PI that setup the KC TD was marginal at best. So tired of it. I’m so glad we don’t do that crap. Being unable to excute a play shouldn’t be rewarded.

Ok, I’m ready now. This needs fixing. It’s not just about the Lions. It changes the outcome of games.

Rough night to be without a starting guard and pro bowl TE.

Think they needed a better OL plan than Colon. Not really anything they can do now.
