Week Thirteen: Green Bay Packers (7-3-1) @ Detroit Lions (7-4)

[Jason_R]

Completely getting effed over by refs. 

[sagnam]

Turning the game off after that BS timeout. Doesn’t matter anyway, this team is not prepared, but can’t stand to watch the poor officiating along with poor play.

[TP_Fan]

Pathetic defense.  Shepard has turned into the worst DC in the league over night.  Every big play either has a penalty or gives up the conversion.   The defense gives up everything to Winston and now getting blown up by a team who hasn’t scored in weeks.  That’s the issue, GB has been garbage offensively, giants garbage offensively and Shepard is getting his lunch eaten.  Wake the **** up. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Feels like this should be a 9-7 game at worst if not for every 50/50 call going against the Lions

[Mr.TaterSalad]

****ing atrocious officiating on that drive. 

[MichiganCardinal]

False start happened at two on the play clock. Ain’t no coach in the NFL saving their QB with two on the play clock. But that’s cool.

I can't stand Tom Brady. Every game he does, I turn off the sound.

[Jason_R]

Need 7 into half and 7 out of half. 

[TP_Fan]

I don’t even care about the refs.  Get some ****ing pressure and wake up. The defense has been the worst in the league for 6 quarters and hutch is the most invisible player in the nfl right now. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Such a frustrating game. It’s one thing to get out coached and out played. But for it to be a ten-point game solely due to officiating on national television is such a bad look.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

The NFL can't even follow their own ****ing rules. I always thought it was two feet inbounds for a catch. I guess if you're certain teams it's only one. I was mistaken about the two feet needing to be in rule.

Yeah, the worst part about it is the refs will get off scott free because the Lions have played so poorly.

Its the reason the Lions defer. Unless the strategy is to play from behind the whole gsme?

[NYLion]

Some terrible reffing but this Lions team just isn't that good, clearly not as good as the last two years. Who knows, they might still win this game, but there's lots of issues that are showing out this season.

[Adullin]

That was a free play ref

I’m outside of MI so I have the WW1 radio call on with Jason Benetti. If i don’t listen too closely I can pretend it’s spring already.

All of the above is true. They should be in this game more, if not for rotten officiating. But the talent level and play of this team is well under last year.

Nope, not in the NFL. The refs don't even know their own rulebook. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Kudos where it’s due. Every time they’re on the ropes they respond.

[Adullin]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!

It's not the talent level, it's the execution that's lacking. Regardless, 17-14 isn't a bad position to be in all things considered

[holygoat]

Wow, Jaymo was dead for a loss, but juked himself free. Great play.
