Race to the bottom

I've seen worse 7 win teams. One from this season, Indy. They're awful. With or without Luck.
 
Eye test. ...were awful.

Awful? Not even close. Not very good? Sure. In all reality, this team should be fighting for the division or at worse, a WC. Two games robbed by the refs and a couple more where we couldn't close.
 
Again, Seattle still had an entire 1:30 to score a TD.

Cover a Hail Mary. Stop with the ref BS.

This team isn't that good. When they went up against legit competition in the early going, they fell short, and other than GB, every win has been against a team below .500. They are a below average team in a horrible year of NFL football.
 
Two losses to Minny and the 6-0 start by GB pretty much sealed the deal.

I don't give 2 fucks how long the Seahawks had to score. They got ROBBED plain and simple.

Shouldn't have came down to a Hail Mary in the first place. Horse shit call. TWO games stolen from the Lions. No matter how you look at it.

I agree they're a bad football team. I never argued that.....
 
I think Minny is overrated as well. Still don't look like an 9 win team to me. Unfortunately, we just couldn't stop 'em.
 
Tony, we look at this team in a magnifying glass because they are local. But we aren't the only fans of a franchise that gets screwed and or robbed because of bad calls. We just talk about them because they are our team. Almost every week a team is on the side of a horribly timed call. That's football.

And we've also chosen to look at those bad calls as the final make or break of a game. If the team is good enough, that shit won't derail them from winning.
 
we were 1-6 dude lol. Then followed that up with another big fat L making us 1-7. We were toast. Let us know when youre back on planet earth.

Still had a shot before they lost the GB game, you idiot. Do the math.That was Week 13.....

Well, when those calls are the deciding factor then so be it. Again, i dont give a fuck about other teams. We were jobbed on 2 terrible calls that decided our fate. End of story....
 
Technically we did have a shot. But no gets into the playoffs after starting 0-5. Even if those two jobbed calls, didn't happen it doesn't guarantee a playoff spot. Maybe we don't score against Seattle, first and goal at the one? Maybe Seattle scores after Detroit does? Not sure why anyone thinks that a missed call guaranteed anything. A call that no one in the universe knew about, except maybe Brewer.

And why do missed calls at games ends seem to matter more than the ones at the start. Other teams get jobbed too. We're 6-9 and deserve to be 6-9.

Because Wright knocking the ball out of bounds was an illegal play. Should have been 1st and goal from inside the 1. Majority has us scoring. Happened at the end of the game too....it actually put the nail in the coffin.

GB gets a phantom facemask and a do over at the END of the game. GB wins with ZERO on the clock. That's monumental. Now i know all types of questions come into play.....do we score against Seattle? How do you not stop a hail mary? Yeah, i get it, but it never should have happened in the first place. The refs stole those 2 games from the Lions. No other way to look at it...sorry. Refs need to be held accountable. These fkn "we're sorry" statements from the NFL on a Monday morning is a joke. Sorry? Go fuck yourself, Goodell and right this ship....

GB was a win if call didn't happen. The Seattle game, still time left and they still had to score.

Shit happens. Don't fumble at the goal line and don't play for a lateral. Those 2 games are this organization in a nutshell. And honestly I'm not sure Goodell has any pull with the refs. I don't think the refs even like Goodell.
