Most of it is all in fun...rivalries, etc. Most people don't want to go out and kill Cowboys or their fans. I think Cowboys fan are pretty obnoxious though.

Bob Chill Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Sports conjures up so much irrationality and anger it's hard to fully understand. It's not really sports. Fan mentality is a weird human quirk that applies to many things. Apple vs android. Playstation vs Xbox. LA vs NYC. Dems vs Libs. Mercedes vs BMW. Ford vs GM. The list is endless. Humans are weird.

Maybe I wasn't socialized right as a child (doubt this is the first sign!). For one I never go out of my way to attack people for the team they like.

Ian Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 No doubt in my mind that way too many people will think it was. Oh there seems to be quite a few people who believe the ratings angle or otherwise. I was totally confused as to how it ended up not being a pass interference but again we're taking extra leaps in assuming it would have made the Lions win and bad calls have happened throughout all of history.

Huffwx Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Wasn't really referring to you. Twitter is still reeling from 'the fix'. In all that madness, dez Bryant ran onto the field to argue the call when the flag up pulled. That should've been an instant 15 yard personal foul as well. Bad calls do happen and the Lions had the ball with the shot to win and blew it. However, hard to overlook that the Lions it should've had a first down inside the 15 yard line at that point. There was also the missed holding call whenThe other running back got held by the Lions. That right tackle really had him wrapped up in a clear hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one I never go out of my way to attack people for the team they like. Message boards for college teams are even worse. Vicious attacks and mob mentality. Hard to believe people can have that much hate and it's not only college kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Idk, contact before the ball reaches the receiver and never turning the head around is basically textbook. If it was the other way around it wouldnt have been pulled. No chance. The TE also had his hand in the LB's face-mask prior to that; a fact that is conspicuously being ignored.

I think instant replay and all that tech has made people want a perfectly officiated game more than in the past.. apparently still difficult. I mean if I was a Lions fan I'd be kinda pissed too but such is life. Given how they played the second half I'll assume they could have gotten a FG and would have lost by 1 instead of 4.

See every turnover or touchdown where players on the bench greet players in celebration coming off the field. Happens every time and is never, ever called. Refs allow a lot of latitude with players and coaches walking off the sidelines and onto the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 It was a terrible call but this has been happening the entire year in the NFL. It was definitely not a conspiracy just a continuation of the worst officals i have seen in my over 30 years of watching almost every NFL game.

nw baltimore wx Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 There's no snow currently forecasted for any of the NFL games next weekend, but there is plenty of cold for Ravens/Pats game and the Green Bay/Dallas game. Forecast of mid 20's for NE Saturday, and mid teens for GB on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the Lions, they would have missed the FG. A lot of uproar for a game where neither team had a chance to make it past next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The NFL has caused this fiasco with the over-officiating of contact in the passing game. Illegal contact and PI has become the equivalent of charging / blocking calls in the NBA. NFL officiating seems so bad now, because there are way too many rules to enforce.
