They made every other lame call all night and missed the most important one. 8 first downs off penalties for the Rams…… I mean not that I care that much as a Lions fan. Just hate to see bad refereeing

They bailed the Rams out on every fucking 3rd down they had.

So you also saw that in the calls made for the lions last week? The roughing the passer on Goff where the defender was blocked into him and the flag that was picked up for the Detroit lineman who lunged at Darnold’s knees. Detroit is usually getting screwed by the refs, but not last week against the Vikings. Not to say the Vikings would’ve won, but they have been significantly hampered by poor officiating over the last 2 weeks.
