  1. We need to learn to lose with grace and stop blaming the refs. We tried hard, but the Lions were the better team in the end

  2. The only flag that I really hate, was the soft ass offensive PI to negate that td. The Lions run pick plays on the defense, that’s how they find a lot of success in the secondary. Calling that takes away from an even more intense ending too.

    Besides that, I honestly thought it was a well called game with minimal ref interference.

  3. OP this is pathetic. Blaming the refs is what loser teams do. Every team gets a few horrible calls going against them every game, it’s the NFL. Grow up

  4. Not sure the refs had much of an impact on the game last night – bad calls on both sides but that always happens. Overall it was a fun entertaining game and it came down to who had the ball last. Packers played great in a hostile environment. Winning the division isn’t in the cards so focus is on landing the 5 or 6 seed

  5. Can someone explain how on the 4th down play when Goff trips and goes down, how is he not down despite his knee touching? Taylor Heinkie was ruled down when he dove for the end zone all those years ago.

  6. The officiating was not good, but blaming the officials is what losing teams do. The fact is we didn’t do enough in the first half. We still haven’t put together 4 quarters of football, and that is going to kill us against good teams.

  7. Nothing makes a fan base look more ignorant than posts blaming refs after a loss. You think if we won the Lions couldn’t have put together a mix tape of missed calls that screwed them?!? This is suuuuuch a boring narrative for sports fans to continue to play out. How about we look at the fact that the team we love didn’t play well enough to win. Plain and simple fact.

  8. >Losing teams complain about the refs

    No, every team complains about the refs. If you complain about the refs every game and never take any responsibility, that’s being a sore loser. There were things the Packers should have done better. 4/5 4th down conversions, that fumble, to win games you have to win at these things. But it’s also fair to say that there were some egregious mistakes made by this officiating crew, and I’ve heard a lot of “missed calls both ways”, but the pictures are pretty darn one way. Complaining about that isn’t being “A sore loser”, wanting a fair game isn’t being “A sore loser”. We can recognize where we need to improve and take ownership for the issues that we had, *AND* complain that we were trying to beat the Lions *despite* the refs out there.

  9. The monent you start using sentences like “the refs helped Detroit” you need to wake up and come back to reality

  10. Nah, we lost. Didn’t play our best game and we’ll have to do that to beat Detroit

  11. I saw a few holds I would’ve liked called and the Love helmet hit was pretty obvious but that’s not enough to change the outcome.

    Mostly surprised by the pressure on Love, thought he would have more time not that it matters because apparently only Kraft could really catch. Lions must’ve done something to take Reed out of the game. Good on Watson for catching those deep balls.

  12. A season and a half of relevance and Lions fans start brigading and running their mouths in other team’s subs. Typical loser franchise behavior.

  13. What’s hilarious is the flags weren’t thrown for offensive PA until after he crossed the goal line. If it was a penalty, why not throw the flag right when it happened?

  14. Love was getting late hit from time and time again

    St brown push off. Clearly he got an advantage but didnt get a call

    and the offensive pass int. they bump each other. GB didnt push off
