Hey SloMotion
 

I'm pulling for your Lions brother. I hope they don't let us down. The Cowboys fans have lost their minds around here.

:bng:


Edit: Sorry Halo, this was supposed to be in NFL. You can move it.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

That's right. We're pulling for your team too. :bng:

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Ditto. Not a huge fan of Suh, and I despise golden tate, but I'm rooting for you guys. The Lions remind me so much of the Saints in a lotta ways, I think that's why I have a soft spot for them.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Lions D-line dominating this game so far. Love it.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

go lions

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Keep blitzing. lol

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

That "all pro" offensive line for the girls is getting dominated.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Well, the officials are screwing Detroit. The Lions will never leave that building with a W.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Wow. That was DPI call. They called it and then said it wasn't... WTH? Rigged game..

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

And of course non holding call on that Romo TD.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

How in Sam Hill do you call Pass Interference, and then pick up the flag?!?

If Dallas wins this, then Goodell's league will have all the credibility of the WWF...

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Sometimes I wonder if this s*** is rigged. Ansah was held at least twice on that Cowgirl scoring drive ...no flags.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

That whole drive was the worst officiating I've seen in a LONG time. The officials purposely gave that whole drive to Dallas. The NFL should be ashamed.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Detroit got screwed by the refs.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

It already is the WWF.

The Lions got screwed big time.

:puke: refs and RG

:pissed:

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Tough way to go out for Detroit. Refs screwed the Lions late however you have to be able to close out and finish a team.

Let the Cows have their day of fame, next Sunday I guarantee you Green Bay and A Rodgers will not take the foot off the throat.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Refs again. Any doubt the NFL is rigged? Joke is on us the fans.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

The 4 mins of the game was the worst officiating I've seen in a while...Detroit didn't stand a chance...

I can't tell you how many times I've seen our RB get tackled on a screen or at the line of scrimmage on a pass play and no flag was thrown....this is fixed....smh

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

You do realize that it's legal as long as the ball isn't in the air? Or if it's behind the line of scrimmage...

Refs give Cowboys a gift with pass interference no-call | ProFootballTalk

Comments are priceless...

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

It's almost as bad as the 49ers in the 80's. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Not only was there PI but where is the flag for unsportsmanlike conduct for Dez Bryant without a helmet coming on the field of play to complain about it. The NFL REALLY want’s the Cowboys to advance.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

That Cowboys final drive was disgusting. Offensive holding on almost every pass play.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Gutless performance from the refs.

Zone will not work on a smart QB. I hope GB hangs em out to dry.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

It will if the D-Line pressure gets there...

NFL Execs Pissed That Head Of Officiating Was Seen On Cowboys Party Bus

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

This dates from last August... but nonetheless very troublesome.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Yes. I know it's legal....but if you watch that play the flag was thrown way after the intial contact and the contact was behind the behind the line of scrimmage. No the ball wasn't in the air when he got tackled....

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Jerry's backyard, Jerry's toys once again. Tell me what other owner around the league has that amount of camera time during games. It makes you sick peering into Jerry's Box every five minutes.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

I refer to the Lions as the Saints North!

Saints gave Bountygate and the Lions have PartyBusgate!

Is this the NFL ref czar on Cowboys' party bus? Irate NFL execs say yes - CBSSports.com

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

biggest frigan cheat of a game, ever!

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Well dang! Wish I would have thought to logon and join the party, :). Thanks for the sentiments B&G and welcome to the SloMo edition of 'Monday Mawnin' Quarterback' ...


^^THIS!^^ All season they relied on the 4-man rush, not a bad strategy with their personnel. They blitzed more in the first half then they did all season and caught Dallas totally off-guard, who's OC is Scott Linehan, Detroit's OC from last season. His play calling typically wilts under a strong blitz, so why did they ease up as the game went on? IDK, :confused:.

First play of the game, Travis Frederick (OC/DAL) put Suh on the ground. At that point, I thought it was gonna' be a long day. I've seen OL handle Suh one-on-one, but never put him on the ground like that. Lions D-Line recovered nicely, Suh did receive an inordinate amount of double-teams (though not every play) and it was probably one of the best battle-of-the-trenches I saw all season long, :).

It was an oddly called game, that's for sure, :rolleyes:. I saw a lot of 'no-calls' going both ways, missed calls, questionable calls, confusing calls ... whatever. I hate to blame the refs for any win/loss, except those substitute refs from a few seasons back, :lol:. At the beginning of the game, I was wondering if the refs were gonna' hand the game to Detroit and if there was something to all the 'ref conspiracy theories'. My opinion changed later in the game when I wondered if they were gonna' hand the game to Dallas, :lol:.

Or ... how 'bout an explanation? I thought maybe because Pettigrew (DET) got his hands tangled up a little bit in the defender's facemask, maybe they decided to wave that one off? IDK, it sure looked like DPI to me.

My favorite penalty was on the Dallas punt that went to the Detroit 1/2 yd line and Detroit was assessed a penalty "1/2 the distance to the goal" ... moved the ball back a whole 6", :lol:. That had to be a first.



All-in-all, it was a decent game to watch and one the Lions could have, should have, won but lost in typical Lions fashion ... #sigh. I didn't understand why Caldwell didn't go for it on 4th & 1 with a lead (especially the way Joique Bell was pounding the ball, :confused:) when he went for it on 4th & 11 vs GB the week before when they were behind? That led to the crazy 10yd punt and Dallas getting back into the game, IMO ... yep, just Monday Mawnin' Quarterbacking, :neutral:.

Oh well, always a bridesmaid, never a bride ... feeling like a dog that's been beat too much ... that's how we roll ... ain't like anyone really expected them to do anything more than just make it to the playoffs ... but once ... just once ... for a change ... it'd be nice if they got to be queen of the prom, :neutral:.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Yep, nailed it! That's why it's so easy for me to hang out on this board (and the seafood, ;)), the similarities between the two teams & the two cities are mind-boggling ... though sometimes I wonder if I was a Saints fan, Acadian, les Habitant, les Voyageur in another life, :lol:.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Can't say as I blame 'em though ... put me on that bus with a few of those Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and I'd pretty much ensure any game got called any way you want, :lol:.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Oh yeah, almost forgot about that ... very distracting and totally unnecessary having to peer into Skeletor's box so often. I think the worst part of the whole game was at the end being forced to watch Chris Christy hug JJ ... What's the matter? New Jersey doesn't have a team? Texas doesn't have a Governor? I may never vote Republican again, :lol: ... jk.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

It was an oddly called game, that's for sure

almost so odd that one might assume a fix was in.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Yep, I hate to admit it for as much as I lobby against that, but man, when DET jumped out to a 14-0 lead with the help of a call or two, I was starting to think the 'fix' was in, until the DPI call, :lol:.

Re: Hey SloMotion
 

Glad someone mentioned that first, Dez Bryant walked onto the field immediately after the flag was thrown and argued with the ref and second, he did so without a helmet...

Oh sure, there will be fines and such, but that is no consolation for fans of the game...

Total Job...

And watch, the Saints will have a comeback year and we'll be the one getting jobbed for Detroit, who's long overdue...

Total BS...

That Ref and his crew shouldn't work another game again...ever!
