Officiating is why the Lions won this game.

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.

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.

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.

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.
