That's as much homecooking as I've seen since the Tim Donaghy era in the NBA. Yeah, I noticed that hold, too. Goes without saying that Aikman wouldn't point it out. | ||

I'm expecting a great game next week against the Packers, and I'm expecting Demarco to light them up. WE DEM BOYZ | ||

EDIT: Hell, Dez should've been given a penalty for running on to the field without a helmet to argue the call. | ||

I also think Dallas will have a much easier game against GB. They match up much better against them on offense, and I think the defense will come up with a few opportunistic plays as they always do. The real game will be the NFC championship game in Seattle. It'll be great rematch with a far better Seattle team then we saw earlier in the season. Regardless, this was an entertaining game versus Detroit. | ||

That's as much homecooking as I've seen since the Tim Donaghy era in the NBA. Not saying the Cowboys didn't get calls (I didn't see the game) but that's not even a hold anymore in the NFL. Watch any good pass rusher on any team, they get held like that all the time. That's just how the NFL is nowadays, they want offense and if it comes at the expense of pass rushers, then that's A OK. | ||

Perhaps it's not a hold, but it's at least illegal hands to the face. | ||

Man, that was bad. Dez came running onto the field with no helmet! And that was blatant pi! | ||

This shit happens every game, seriously. That illegal hands to the face being posted can be countered with an uncalled facemask at another part of the game going the other way. Or, on the same play: https://vine.co/v/OdD5hWMBK2q That Dez thing was really stupid but doesn't change the fact that the Lions choked that away. | ||

The obvious PI picked up and the obvious hold were far more blatant. If you zoomed in on every play you could probably find something. | ||

That's the same play as the PI, and why he committed the PI (because he couldn't turn around to see/make a play or do anything but run into the guy in front of him who stopped). I'm not arguing anything except people are blowing things out of proportion. If the Lions were actually playing well or at least DIDN'T 10 YARD PUNT GIVING THE EASIEST TOUCHDOWN EVER, they would have won regardless. | ||

Those big 3rd/4th down conversions were just too much. | ||

That's why I don't buy "Don't blame the refs, there's more they could've done" in this instance. The Cowboys were fucking up just as much as the Lions, except they had a ridiculous edge from the refs. That play had 4 freaking obvious penalties on it. Defensive holdng, DPI, Unsportsmanlike conduct, Entering the field without a helmet during a non-TO. They could've called any of those 4, and they didn't. Even if you want to call OPI on the incidental facemask, then it's offsetting penalties and they replay the down. Hell, here was Calvin Johnson on Detroit's last possession. ![[image loading]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B6jAsFsCEAATlmC.jpg) Is that not blatant illegal contact past 5 yards? I'm sorry, but the refs truly fucked up this game and completely changed it at the end. | ||
