Welp, non Lions fans should be happy. It appears the refs are going
to continue the punishment on their own...not calling obvious holds (that lead to Saints TD's) and calling Lions penalties for sneezing. Might I add that that was offensive pass interference on Wright, and not against him.

This Packers fan needs to stop watching football for tonight... I'll leave this one to BabyG.

1. Are you crying yet?
The Lions have problems with pushing penalties too far. Now, they have a reputation, and they're whiney coach does not help.

Live with it.

2. Why would I be crying? That's kind of stupid when I'm not a Lions fan.

Do I think the refs are biased assholes on this one? You bet. And I really don't give a shit what anyone thinks about that. That said, Go Pack Go!

3. In other words, you're full of shit from the word go.
The Lions should have been called for far more penalties than they were. Their coach is dirty, and their team is dirty.

4. I'm a football fan. I call refs on stupid calls (or, in the case of blatant

non calls that lead to touchdowns) all the time. Your opinion is duly noted and tossed out. Wow, I think this is the first time I'm placing a fellow Packer fan on ignore. Suh is dirty, and I hope he learns a lesson. The rest of the team is paying, in the media, and out, for his actions. And that is BS. I'm not blinded by divisional rivalry so as to not see that. On the positive side, for my son, Stafford is an incredible QB who had a great game. See ya!

5. I believe the Lions should stop stomping opponents arms,
throwing the ball at opponents, swatting refs, and so forth. Offensive holding is a judgement call. Hitting an official is not.
