Officiating is why the Lions won this game.

A definite deciding factor. Sad. Even in that 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 day when the calls go the Saints way.

Wait I thought it was Bush's fault...

The Bush flag was suspect, no doubt. Mistakes lost this game though, not refs.

The PI call against Bush was correct. The two non-calls for the same thing on our next possession is where we got screwed.

even if you get 1.5 to 2 yds a carry it would still set up a more manageable
4th down. payton has a serious problem with his ego to just pass the dam thing 24-7.

I'm kind of curious about this responce.
We're cheering for the same team and yet you offer one of the worst comebacks/insults ever. Why on earth would you suggest I go over to the panthers forums? Are you an idiot?
Just because I have a different opinion from yours doesn't mean I like my team any less than you do. It's called "grown ups" speaking and from your responce maybe you should keep quiet when it's taking place.

Anyone watching Denver game? There were half a dozen "Rafael Bush plays" and no flags.

Yeah but the difference in Denver is that they know how to FINISH.
The foot stays on the throat. Never assume the game is in hand.
