Lions hardly played a perfect game. The Packers sure didn't either with three turnovers. But if you think this team is playing at the same level as last year or the last decade of Lion teams, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, MW. I see a far better team on both sides of the ball.

Bottom line, if the refs simply had made the correct calls, the Lions would more than likely be in first place today.

If the dumbasses didn't have too many men on the field during a GB field goal attempt, the blown calls at the end of the game wouldn't have mattered.

This team looks better than last year's team, but who cares!!! Last year's team was awful even by Lions standards.

This team will go 8-7-1 and miss the postseason by a game or two. Same bullshit, different season.

There's only four teams per division yet this pathetic franchise can never find a way to win the NFC North. They are LOSERS and always will be!

I don’t think they’re better at all. Same garbage as last year, and the year before that, and the year before that...

Could the NFL eventually follow the CFL’s lead where practically everything is reviewable?

In a few years (now in some states) when we will be gambling on sports legally from our phones, the uproar will be tenfold. Today it's mainly us sad Lie-Down fans that are pissed. But when millions of bettors are losing $$$ because of incompetent officiating, that's when it'll really hit the fan.
Brilliant assessment! :hat Either that or the refs will be corrupted. :shock:
