NFL officiating is becoming a fucking joke. On top of the stevie johnson call Fred Jackson's right arm was held behind him on third down in the first half.

The Seymour penalty on Tom Brady, yeah maybe, but I didnt hear a whislte and if that play was dead why didnt the ref standing right there blow the whistle that was in his mouth to let him know the play was dead. seems the only one that knew it was dead was Brady.

Now they pick up the flag in Oakland!?!?!

Some say the NFL cannot be rigged...Yeah right officiating decides plenty of games that are meaningful.

The flag pickup is certainty debatable, Seymour didn't get flagged for the hit he got flagged for the sling to the turf, play was clearly dead by then, he should know better and not take that chance..

btw ... here is a picture of the hit put on the receiver of a punt.

http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/photos?gameId=311002014&photoId=1594599

this was called 'hitting a defenseless receiver' on a punt return, after he didn't choose to make a fair catch call, and after he had caught the ball and had posession.

such a bullshit call. was a 15 yard personal foul call.

I agree, the fair catch is there for a reason, either you elect to use it or not, there is no gray area, bad call.

Last week the Lions humiliated the Vikqueens on the road in Minneapolis after being down by 20 points at the half.

This week the Lions humiliated the Cowpokers on the road in Dallas, coming back from a 24 point deficit to win it in regulation.

Legendary back-to-back comeback wins. How long can they keep this up? Will they show up in the first half for the Chicago game on Monday night?

As for the Vikings, it's probably hard to sink lower than losing three straight games after having a big lead and then losing to one of the worst teams in the league in the Chiefs. The Vikings season is over. It's panic time in Minnesota!

An important overlooked play from he Detroit-Dallas game occurred in the first half. Dallas is up 7-0 and has the ball in the redzone It's 4th and goal from the Detroit 1 or 1.5. The Cowpokers go for it and...stuffed! Detroit gets the ball on the 1 and brings it out to about the 30 before punting. It might not have seemed like that big of a deal once Dallas ran the score up to 27-3, but in retrospect that was a game-saving play by the Detroit defense.

Maybe the Titans are actually good.

And the Lions need to start throwing to Megatron in the first half. It's almost like they don't even bother until they get behind, thus the awesome come back wins.

Big stuff for sure but if a team is up 27-3, they should win. Props to the lions though, they never quit..

if he slid feet first, then i could agree. but he didnt, he fell face first. it's like when a qb dives head first you can hit em, when they slide, they are down on their own merit.

terrible terrible botched call that literally changed the outcome of the game. even mike peirerra knew they fucked up.

Being good and being lucky is a good combination, having Romo throw you a pick 6 or 2 doesn't hurt either, LOL Cowboys..
