Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

I repeated cause my question wasn't answered. You say we didn't score in the second half conclude you're one of the ones blinded by your tears. If you say we couldn't score on last possession then my argument is how do you score if your receivers are held or pi, you might say ref don't try to be the outcome of the game, then I ask why did they call pi with less than 2 minutes in the game on Bush on a 4th down?

Ugh, did you see EVERY offensive linemen get beat like a drum on those last 11 drop backs you all do realize Brees makes this o-line look better than what it is by stepping up and throwing the ball away or trying to extend the play? That throw to Colston wasn't needed but it was there if Colston comes underneath instead fading over Glover Quinn it's a great catch and throw nobody was screaming Brees sucks when his QBR was 133.? In the 3rd up until 4th as look at Dez Bryant Steve Smith Demarius Thomas Antonio Brown they go get the ball they don't sit and wait on a pizza delivery the refs were choosing this game that P.I on 4th-5 was BS💩 and a lot others

Rafael grab's his hand. It's a PI call.

Exactly, that call was correct

Rafael did interfere while the ball was in the air.

Sad thing is; it wasn't even necessary. Reggie had just about given up....

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

I could've sworn the db had 5 yards the work with but ok, and if that's PI they missed at least 10 other calls

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

It's called consistency you can't call a game one way for one team and switch up with the other call IDC what nobody says that was a good play R.Bush sniffed that play out early

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Did you watch the clip? Rafael was clearly holding Reggie's hand from making an attempt to catch.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

The thing about the refs is that if you are playing good ball and have good form, the refs will GIVE you all the calls you need. If you are sloppy, half-**ed and look like garbage out there, then the refs will tell you to talk to the hand, all day long. The way to beat the refs is to be the better team of the two. Back in the days when the Saints were really rolling, the refs would give them all kinds of favorable calls. Darren Sharper pick 6 against the Dolphins where he fumbled the ball at the goal line. The two point conversion in the Super Bowl. Jimmy Graham made a huge catch in a Falcons game one time that wasn't really a catch, he used the ground to cradle it. I could go on and on.

At that angle it's hard to see if the ball is surpass Reggie reach before Raphael wrap his right arm around Reggie. At another angle you will see that the ball had surpass Reggie
