Caldwell baffled by NFL officiating following win over Saints

http://detroitsportsnation.com/detr...-officiating-following-win-over-saints/56369/

Oh he's baffled alright...

Seriously though some of the calls this year have been pretty baffling..love how we got an extra time out there in the 4th Q and no negative ramifications resulting from it. Lol NFL needs to make these refs full time they have been awful this year just gawd awful

Just got back from Wednesday night cigars night with a couple of old friends, both more knowledgeable than I am about football. One keeps telling me that if the Lions didn't get screwed by that non call batted football out of bounds vs. seattle and the screw job in the packers game, the Lions would be .500 and still in the playoffs hunt.
They agree that the refs suck big time and are not much better than the officials that filled in awhile ago.
Make them full-time.

This is true..then also week 1 if the hadn't blown 21-3 lead to a team whom has now only won 3 games it would have been a complelty different season...but that's the lions, always on the wrong end coming up short, blowing big leads, or gettin job'ed
