DETROIT'S SECOND-HALF DRIVES 1 play, 0 yards, interception 8 plays, 50 yards, field goal 3 plays, 8 yards, punt 8 plays, 44 yards, punt 2 plays, 4 yards, fumble 8 plays, 24 yards, fumble So maybe, just maybe, instead of screaming OMG THE REFS YOU GUYZ, those numbers above might be to blame for Detroit losing. Nah,see fix was in. Was it a bad call? ABSOLUTELY. Did it decide the game? Nope.

On one hand, I just don't like Detroit (well, Suh, Fairley and the defense) so yay! On the other hand, more bandwagon fans suddenly talking about their love of the Cowboys and Tony Romo while not being able to name anything else about the team trying to call me out for not being a Cowboys fan....damn. Superbowl prediction is still alive though....

Minnesota native Brock Lesnar is serious about divisional pride. Also Vikings fans hate the Cowboys. To be fair, everyone outside of Cowboys fans hates the Cowboys. They're the Yankees of the NFL.

That explains a few things. Now my comment about that flag being picked up so late because it took that long for the call from New York to get routed to the ref's headsets could be more on target than I care for.

Forget you Pepsi, it should be Imagine Dragons performing at Halftime of the Super Bowl. But I do wonder if Katy Perry will have something referring to Trevor Knight in her show.

Blaming the officiating is the biggest loser's mentality among fans these days. Detroit scoring only three points in the second half did them in far more than a suspect no-call.

Oh, it played a role, but non-calls that benefit the defense you are trying to put numbers up on will play a role in your numbers being low.

That's all If Detroit played better in the second half, they wouldn't have had to worry about an iffy call. They had plenty of chances to put that game out of reach, but their own ineptitude cost them more than a questionable call or two.

Maybe get the ball back when there are still EIGHT minutes to play.

I love the idea that somehow the refs aren't to be criticized for a crucial call because the team on the wrong side of it didn't play all that stellar beforehand.
The same bullshit Steelers fans spouted after they got the benefit of a bunch of calls against Seattle in the Super Bowl.

I don't like either team. Had no dog in the fight. That said, Detroit got hosed on that drive. Maybe that gag anyway, I'd just have preferred to find out
