With the amount of parity we have in the league, officials now have the power to determine who does and who doesn’t make it to the post-season. That’s the problem.
And his words were absolutely correct. And I believe every single fan also believed that to be true that 9 and 7 isn’t good enough. But frankly you can’t beat the third team aka the officials. And it’s the end of the day it’s becoming more and more frequent that they decide who wins not the teams on the field
Agreed 100%. But that special teams blunder didn’t come close to losing this game. Even if you take away kerryon Johnson’s questionable overturn call which would have been a first down and put the Lions near field goal position again. The bottom line is the Lions had the Packers stopped on fourth down out of field-goal range ahead 22 to 13 when the total BS call completely changed the narrative. Then the non pass interference call when Marvin Jones was interfered with would have given them another good scoring opportunity inside the red zone. Lastly II completely BS hands-to-the-face call Wood have at least given the Lions and opportunity to have the ball in their hands with about a minute to go to possibly get a field goal to win the game despite all of the other crap. Those calls changed the outcome of the game not the 12 men on the field earlier blunder.
