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.
The Lance Moore two point conversion was good, but i agree on the other examples....

The Goodwin injuries (plural) was massive. He was coming into the game with one already and it got worse.
Then add the offensive personnel who were on the field but already carrying injuries and got new one: Graham, Thomas, Stills.
By game end, there were few offensive weapons who want to touch the ball.

The air made Khiry Robinson fumble, that hurt our momentum a little, we had a good drive going

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.

Cannot blame the refs. They were calling some tick tacky **** on both teams. We got away with one on that first TD I believe it was. Refs didnt let the Lions Offense back in the game with 5 minutes left on the clock. Refs didnt cause Drew to throw a pick. there is plenty of blame to go around but you cant blame the refs.
In all my years of watching football I can only recall one game where I truely believe blaming the refs was warranted, that game was the game against the Patriots last year.

You're all wrong.

It's Obama's fault.

Like I said before, one bad play by Drew is irrelevant, if the refs was doing their job, drew wouldn't be in a situation to throw that interceptions. After the saints scored in the beginning of the 3rd quarter the refs turn up the flags on the saints on both end off/def & let Detroit practically do anything they want. People want to find reasons on why we lost, then do some investigation on your own and you will see the refs throwing flags on Colston, Lelito, & Bush was clear B.S.

The facemask penalty on PT...I don't know if I recall seeing that penalty called before. Usually its on the defense. The refs might have been calling bad for both teams, but it sure seemed to happen to us at critical times in the game.

The colston and lelito ones were wrong, but Rafael bush had hold of Reggie's hand when the ball was in the air, unfortunately that was PI and was the correct call

The sad part is, Reggie was not going to get that pass, Rafael just had to screw up anyway .
