My point was that I'd be shocked they had as good a year as they did if the punter performed like that all season long. Field position means an awful lot in this sport.

It's a shame because imo they didn't need to help the Cowboys.

Detroit was going to find a way to lose. Let it happen naturally.

Officiating has been bad for soccer as well.

A lot of games are coming down to a vegas line with absurd calls deciding the outcome.

I'm sure it's all just a coincidence and on the level though...our authorities are on top of corruption.

Yeah, enough of the hand-wringing about the picked-up flag. The Lions scored 14 points before you could blink and only got 6 the rest of the way. They deserved to lose.

Detroits punter just did them no favors. And wtf is up with picking up that interference flag?!

This officiating has become farcical.

I was rootin' for the Cowboys but that was a piss poor call...especially for a plyoff game and no decent explanation either. That game itself seemed to have bad officiating overall.

Lots of bad calls in that game. This one was magnified as they changed the call. If they started out no interference in the first place no one would care. Officiating is at an all time low in both college and the pros. Look at Ohio state. They stole a game off Penn State off some real bad calls now they are in championship game. I guess we need to get used to it as part of the game. Detroit still had game under control but couldn't close.

Why should they, they weren't calling offensive holding on the Cowboys final drive either.

Must be cousins of the BC stewards, who let Bayern wipe out 6 horses in the Classic, with no foul. These homer calls show the home field / track advantage

Dufner on golf and Cowboys game. Jasin tweets ?
