Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Dude, taking your anger out on me isn't going to help anything. This is the best game we have played to date

That's my opinion. If you disagree, cool, you're welcome to

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

That was a gift, Stevie wonder could have made that interception

No he wasn't terrible last year, but neither was Brees and they both suck now.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Well, I didn't see the game yet, but I saw where Ingram and Robinson were getting s Ok me 10 plus yd. runs. Still you run time off the clock.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

We certainly had our fair share of mistakes. I won't argue that. We stopped them though, and we held. The refs gave them the game, sorry boss

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

A lot of you fans need to go to Atlanta, if you couldn't see that officiating cause the result of the game then you need to watch your intake on alcohol, the pi against bush wasn't the only bad call but the one on the rookie, the non calls on lions defense, the roughing the qb on 3rd down by cam. This game was total bs. If I am going to be critical and down my team, I am datum well going to stand up for them when it was obvious they were cheated. You people who blaming Bree or the coaching staff, I just want to know when have you seen the perfect game? Mistake gonna be made, but a great team overcome them, but how do you suppose to overcome them if the officials are against you? REAL SAINTS FAN STAND UP!!!!

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Sorry man, just frustrated

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Yeah but do you really want to win the division at 8-8

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

They had some gains on some plays, but for the most part we couldn't run on them

e put up like 400 yards on a defense letting up 270.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

you guys realize Brees went 0-10 on his last 10 throws... oh he had the pick too so maybe that counts...

Brees Brees Brees.... I grow tired of you. As a Saints fan I am used to awful QB play but Brees you are by far the most disappointing this season.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

yes, if we play like this as opposed to the first 5 games

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

You do realize he had no time, right? The interception was a bad decision, but it was set up by pressure. He had no time and he was trying to make something happen. We did a great job giving him time in the first half, I think the Goodwin injury hurt a lot

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Goodwin AND Strief.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Did you see how he had to throw ground ball cause the main reciever was held? No-call?

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

if you called Bush on Bush a mugging then Colston was a raping

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

The call on Pierre Thomas - facemask - was horrible.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

I'm so sick and tired of this excuse. Yes he had pressure on some plays... as does every QB in the NFL... we are one of the least sacked teams.

To many Brees apologist and not enough are willing to criticizes him for anything.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

You talking about the cadet mugging? Where he was like clotheslined?

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

No doubt the Saints did not close out the game, however, every time we made a big play or stopped a big play the refs made horrible calls.


SOB

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Play through the whistle.. don't rely on calls for anything. That is still on Brees, you don't give up on a play because you think you should get a call.... BS.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

What's it matter, none of us have the ability to bench him, cut him, trade him, or any other nonsense I've seen here...

Why get up in arms because another fan disagrees with how you feel?

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

I guess the Lions are one MUST Make the Show List this year and the saints are not.

3.75 qtrs of good play must count for something

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

He's not sacked more because of him. If he ate the ball more, his int's would reduce and the sacks would go up. Well you can be tired of it, that's you're right, but I watch the game without a bias. You have an agenda. I don't. Brees made a bad decision. He should have throw it away or taken the sack. I am not taking away the bad decision by him. He tries to do too much sometimes, but his sack total is low because of him, not due to our line play. And in truth our line played great in the first half, the injuries hurt

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

It's not the refs who stopped playing at 55 mins...

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Because you're not supporting his clear agenda

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Cause I thought we stopped them on 4rth down and the refs gave it back to them with an new set of downs. My bad

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

If you say so. But we wouldn't have even been in a position to let the officiating dictate the game's outcome if we put them away 27-10 with 5 minutes to go. Make it a 3 possession game with 5 minutes to go is a kill-shot.

This is what great teams do, and we are certainly not a great team.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Give up your saints fan I.D and go to the falcons if you don't like it. You have a word for me(apologist) then I have a word for the people who wanna criticize its call WHINERS

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

None of us have the ability to do anything that matters here mitch...

Why post anything at all then i guess... lol

Not up in arms at all, but too many people are willing to put on the old breesus jacket and claim he can do nothing wrong. Sure he wasn't the only one that lost this game, but he has played a part in every loss. I just don't this he is at the elite status anymore.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Refs had nothing to do with not tackling golden Tate
They had nothing to do with brees forcing yet another pass

There were some bad calls, but we had the game won regardless, we still found a way to lose

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

pot meet kettle.... lol

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Yes, we made mistakes, agreed, but we did our job, and they gave them the ball back after we did it.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

True on your first two assertions, but they did have something to do with us stopping them on 4rth and giving them the ball at our 6 yard line with a new set of downs.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Rafael bush had hold of Reggie's arms, tough to argue with the call, even if it the penalties were biased.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

It's not illegal to grab the arms after the ball make contact or the ball surpass the receiver. Now, go frame advance the play and you will see it wasn't PI,,not even close if you consider how the lions db's was covering our players

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

wasn't it within five yards of the line of scrimmage, anyway?

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

uh yeah it is your bad. That was PI all day. Blame Cory White not me

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Also\if Golden Boy hadn't forced a play with a 6 point lead then thrown an interception... yeah again your bad and Blame Drew Brees... not me

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Didn't panthers lose? I think you in the wrong forum, go do your whining on your panthers players there

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Ignore this apologist. His vision is blinded by his Breesus glasses.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

And you blinded by your tears from crying, you whiner
