4 Linebackers working out for Lions

[UMRules06]

Proven packer cheating with screen shots. Illegal sleeve grabs on every single play by green bay lineman. Tons of gifs and screenshots

Why did nobody on the Lions whether coach or player bring this to the refs attention during the game? If it's so systematic and blatant and happening every play especially?

 

[LKP]

They did. Cheffers is a cheat. You cant call every play so gb cheats every play..the screenshots dont lie. Outside sleeve grabs by every lineman. League needa to fix this. If they get 8 holds a game so be it

Are there quotes or in-game audio of this? I would actually be curious to see how the Lions reacted to this.

Decker held 65 times....he didnt get any calls.

Decker had proper technique. The Packers grab the outside of sleeves and outside the shoulders all the time.


Gifs and screenshots galore to prove it

Still waiting on your source that shows the Lions were protesting mid game. I would honestly like to see that.

I'm pretty confident that whatever the Packers get away with, 99 percent of the NFL follows similar methods. It's a dirty, violent game. Deal with it.

“We can’t let a team like that jump in front of us — that big of a jump — and expect our offense to get us back,” -Haloti Ngata


“We just couldn’t stop them,” Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. “Rodgers was hot, completing a lot of big passes on us, and really gave us some problems in that area. We just couldn’t slow him down.” -Jim Caldwell

“We played without Ziggy and without Levy last week and we gave up 16 points. It’s no excuse,” - Glover Quin

I don't see any quotes complaining about Packers holding all game?

 

[LKP]

They take to refs on sideline and send specific plays to league office. Media is not the place to complain about holding. Caldwell does it the correct way

And stop with the gerneic crap that every team does it. Thr lions do not do this to that extent. Every lineman on almost every play by green bay proven. Refs allow this crap. Its ruining the league.

The worst part is they do not consistently apply it. Laken gets called for hold on the boldin td week2. Bullshit opi on ebron week 2. And then week3 packers get away with holds on tds and opi on tds

Lions shouldnt have to be 10-15 points better than a team just to win a game. Now they rise in the remaining 13 games

How do you know they did this? And that isn't even good enough. The stuff you're talking about suggests the Packers are cheating on literally every single offensive play. Why aren't the coaches and players up in arms about it while the game is going on? I'm not talking about just having a brief chat with the ref on the sideline. Clearly whatever they tried had no effect.

If it's such a huge disadvantage then the Lions should have been making their case known right from the get go.

And lest we forget, if the Packers have been doing this their entire time in GB, doesn't 99 percent of the league also have a beef? Or do they just cheat the two times they play the Lions each season?

It's just the Lions. Don't forget, there is a huge conspiracy against the Lions by the league and refs to make sure the Lions never win. Thankfully, we have LKP to let us know the true record.

 

[LKP]

Its a fact. The game tape showed the packers using illegal technique and lions using legal technique in this game. The game tape shows the jordy opi

Ref incompetence not conspiracy and the packers doing it often because they know the refs arent allowed to call it often. Its like seattle with dpi and def hokding. Its a cheap way to play. Oh well take the loss and move on. Plenty of season left for 11 wins and playoff wins

You contradicted yourself. You say it's "ref incompetence" and not conspiracy. Then in the next breath you say "the refs aren't allowed to call it often." So which is it?

I ask again where did the Lions players and/or coaching staff visibly protest this clearly egregious cheating by the Packers? If it's cheating on every single play, then that is obviously a huge disadvantage right? So I'm confused why they would just sit back and let it happen unopposed?

"they take it to the ref on the sideline" doesn't cut it. And can you please point out when this actually happened since you claimed they did do this?

 

[LKP]

I didnt contradict. Refs are not conspiring they are just incompetent. And packers hold with illegal technique often becuase they know refs cant call it

They do more than talk to refs. They send game tape to league. What do you want him to do. Run onto the field and point at the holding everytime?

Nice hyperbole. If it's cheating on literally EVERY play as you suggest it is, then what is wrong with getting a little more visibly animated and upset? What about the players? Why aren't they saying anything to the refs or showing signs of frustration at getting jobbed as you claim they are? We are not talking about isolated incidents here where some guy holds every once in a while. You said "every snap" the Lions are being cheated. I don't care what they do, as long as it's not next to nothing.

And I take it from your lack of response to my question, that you didn't actually witness anybody talking to the refs on Sunday? So your assertion earlier that "they did" was either a bold faced lie or at best an assumption.

Maybe the real truth here is you're just searching for any flimsy reason at all that would excuse the Lions lousy play in the first half? You told someone else to be a "good fan" and admit when they played well. Why can't you ever be an honest fan and admit when they played poor then? The answer is because you're trolling.

and yes that is a contradiction...you said it's ref incompetence which means they are just being stupid. If they are not allowed to make calls often, that is not because they're being stupid...it's because they are being directed by the league to do so. Hence, a conspiracy.

 

[LKP]

The other calls are ref incompetence. Nelson OPI for instance. It is incompetence that they don't call 3-4 of them. They should call 10 or more but they can't. So no I didn't contradict myself.




Referees gave the Packers at least 15 points maybe more. Lions earned all 27 of their points. Between the injuries, allowed holding, OPI non-called, it was too much for the Lions. The best NFL team ever couldn't overcome that.


Now we move on to Chicago and 13 more very winnable games for Detroit.

 

[LKP]

It's not flimsy. The game tape shows the Packers cheating. I didn't write that article.

[dubbsco]

Yes, 13 more winnable games. As long as the other team doesn't cheat. Or the refs call it 100 percent in favor of the Lions. Or there's not a breeze in the opponent stadium. Or if the color rush jerseys don't cause the Lions players that deal with color blindness to tackle their own teammate. Or it doesn't rain, because some of the players can't deal with rain. Or if Stafford has the perfect pocket to throw in. Or if they don't deal with unfair injuries that only the Lions deal with.

Did I miss any?
