As a Lions' fan… thank you. Also, you forgot to include the "horse collar" call on Suh for pulling down on Marion Barber III's hair the very year that the NFL introduced that as a legal play. Oh oh, and the "forearm shiver" Suh delivered on Jay Cutler through his fingertips from four feet away. Oh oh oh, jk I have to cut myself off because I have literally 12 other examples I just thought of that changed the outcomes of games in the last 10 seasons. But seriously. Thank you. I cried. In a good way. And a bad way. But then in a good way again. This year I predict the Lions get screwed out of a Super Bowl win which will cause me a new sort of pain I never knew I could feel before.
@@zacharysmith5626that don't do no they still got all the money
Lions are better then your favorite team 😂😂
You mean the nfl is rigged.
Time to Update the video, LOL.
"Detroit is always playing three opponents, the other team, the refs, and themselves."
Well yeah, we take 'Detroit vs Everybody' seriously.
move them to Vegas baby
@@patmcdonald766aww hell no they're good now
@@whatisahandle_69even if they weren’t, hell no
Perna, you missed all the real crazy ones. Like in the early 90's when the Lions were penalized at home in the Silverdome because the crowd was too loud when the visiting team had the ball.
Facts
If there is any justice in the world that ref was IMMEDIATELY fired after the game
I believe that was the game against the Jets. Barry crossed the 2000 yard barrier that game, as well as Reggie Brown suffering a spinal cord contusion and stopped breathing. That game was one Hell of a roller coaster of emotions. Anyway I'm almost positive it was that game.
Seattle used to get that. 4 penalties plus.
That never happened HAHAHA!
Only a Lions fan can understand how cursed we have been. Glad to see it get noticed outside our community.
I understand. You’re basically like the Cubs of the NFL before the Cubs won the WS in 2016.
It’s brutal….
Bears fans knows how much the refs are against yah. We cheer for you in all those close refball games against Green Bay over the years
It's all payback for the refs missing the Lions having 12 men on the field when they kicked a GW FG vs Dallas in 81. Plus interest.
@@kristopherloviska9042 first off someone’s sower, second off that was payed off when the Cowboys beat the Lions in the playoff game and I will never like the Cowboys again after that.
@@kristopherloviska9042The curse of Bobby Lane makes more sense than that as an excuse. 😂🎉😂
Watching in week 4 of 2023 and the Lions are still being abused by refs. No call on Chiefs tackle holding, false starting, and lining up wrong all game. No calls on Seahawks holding Hutch all day. Phantom face mask against Hutch, unnecessary roughness against Anzalone, and no delay of game at end of 3rd against Packers. At least we're good enough now to be 3-1
4-1 now
When the 3rd quarter clock ran out and the refs just sat there and let the Packers snap the ball a couple seconds later I couldn't believe it. Play clock is one thing but this is the damn game clock!
Perhaps, this will be the year of blessings for the Lions. We have had many things going right for the Lions. It may be time to be optimistic, and thank God for a good team!
@@scottm4042amen to that, looking forward to a swift victory against the Bucs later this week🔥
I actually think it’s a Detroit thing. I recall the hockey officiating when the Wings were slaughtering everyone and despite the officials best efforts the bad calls weren’t enough to stop them. Classic example: Don Van Massenhoven, I can’t count the times he was in the defensive corners and the attempt to clear the puck on a power play hit his skates resulting in an opponent’s goal. His retirement was a day to rejoice for Red Wings fans.

@@clintholmes2061 "Pfbut, whatever."

PETA oughta sue the NFL for punishing the Lions so much for nearly 70 years
Whaddup my muscular class brother!
I've been pointing out this shit for years. People thought I was just an angry Lions fan, but for it to happen OVER and OVER again.....something's gotta give
For the past decade I've liked saying, "If any team is going to be robbed, it will probably be the team in Detroit." Broncos fan btw, so I don't have the hometown bias but holy shit have the Lions been screwed over so many times over the years.
They actively cheat against us it's proven
Ya that’s the thing. Everyone gets robbed but it happens to the Lions in big spots WAY more than any other team. Straight bullshit.
I know right!
You can be angry but it doesn't mean it's a conspiracy. It's easier to get screwed by bad calls when your team sucks, less opportunity to overcome the bad calls....because your team sucks. Every team gets bad calls but good teams overcome them. That's the difference. Stop crying about it and complain about how bad the team is
Please update this series to include this latest game against the Cowboys
Don't go there. For 2 reasons. 1) On this particular occasion you were not hosed at all. Would have been illegal formation regardless. And 2) and more importantly, you don't need it for your valid overall point anyway. As a strong fan of the Cowboys you will have no need to convince me of the atrocious call in the 2014 playoffs. Already concede it and did then. A third point and most vitally probably is that regardless of whatever outcome from last week (and of course both teams wanted to win for playoff seeding) - the Lions are legit and for quite awhile. Outside of my Cowboys I am rooting for the Lions. Lions fans should be excited because as I see it Dan Campbell is the real deal and the right guy for you guys AND for a long time. So yes the Lions have been hosed disproportionately and not helped themselves out to boot. But Detroit was not screwed at all last week against my Cowboys. Honestly I would admit that if it was true. But it's not. And again Detroit is the real deal regardless.
Not an illegal formation if elegibility was reported correctly.
No, the point I made was that even if all was on the up and up with the Lions and whatever else could be said about any possible mistake made by officials - EVEN IF the player was reported correctly, based on how formations are supposed to be in regard to offensive line with receivers and such, apparently it still would have been an illegal formation with #68. AND both times they lined up for that first 2 point attempt. 68 was not legally in formation whatever the case. And maybe even #70 to boot. Still not clear what is correct about if only 1 "ineligible" can report per play or if 2 can. (Per Dan Campbell vs ex NFL referee Parry talking with SVP). Whatever. Point is: Even if all was kosher and #68 was reported correctly, it still was illegal formation at least and on at least 2 occasions and maybe also by more than one player on top of it. So I am not sure what you mean. Still .... I agree as a Cowboys fan ..... still ..... the Lions have an argument for the playoff hosing. And the biggest focus here is that fortunately for Detroit, even without the 2 or even maybe the 1 seed - the Lions are for real and can make some big noise for a good playoff run this year. AND for quite awhile probably. Not a one year wonder. Dan Campbell seems to be the right guy for Detroit and maybe for quite awhile. Outside of my Dallas Cowboys themselves, I am rooting for the Detroit Lions in this year's playoffs. So I am not sure what else to be said here about that 2 pointer nor even what else needs to be said. Final comment: Don't mess yourselves up as Lions rooters and miss what could be magical this year for Detroit by being bitter about that controversy. Relax. Whether this time or not it seems very soon the Lions probably are about to finally get their opportunity to get the prize.
@@jimmyburke3073its crazy that people still say this. You think the lions had a designed play that inherently was an illegal formation? Really? The receiver on 68's side was not on the line so 68 was perfectly legal to declare. If 70 declared that would be illegal formation which begs the question...why didnt they blow the whistle pre-snap for that? You didnt need to say youre a cowboys fan, its obvious. No one else is still peddling this bs. I will give you a break though cause of your username. My favorite de niro character
😁 I see what you are saying but a clarification here. The "deception" here was that the Lions were so successful in being sneaky over the Lions that probably the refs were fooled too rather than necessarily any subterfuge or corrupt agenda by the refs. The point you make about no flags not thrown in the first place being suspect to my point I actually agree with. Which is why there are details that I agree that bare minimum were very sloppy in how the refs handled things AND maybe worse yet. Thus, it is not just the Lions themselves who made mistakes but also the refs have some explaining to do too. But the Lions still were officially NOT jipped out of this. No matter how we slice it a penalty or penalties were to be called even had all been kosher in the reporting and such. And remember because 68 was not properly reported in the first place regardless of why there would be no reason to consider a flag for his being in illegal formation until the actual play and he went out and caught the pass. Also even if he had been reported correctly then you are correct that it should be flagged in the first place upon lining up, as far as I understand it. Also, everyone must see that when it does look like it took quite awhile, 15 or 20 or even 30 seconds or whatever for flags to be thrown in the first place - yes that is very busy league by the refs at least. Nobody should dispute that. That detail for sure Lions fans and any NFL fan supporting the sanctity of the game should be rightfully upset about, even though it does look like it was legit for penalties to be called. Also I am not the only one sharing these sentiments. And I an not saying these things solely as a Cowboys "homer". By the way in such discussion on sports I don't believe any of us should be expected to completely set aside rooting bias. Just don't base our arguments solely based on such. I, if you notice, have conceded several points to you because I BELIEVE THEM TO BE TRUE. 😁 And my initial response live was organically that the Lions were hosed, even though that meant my Cowboys were probably about to lose (23 seconds or so left. So maybe a small chance for our very reliable kicker). So that is how objective I tried to be. Again because at the time that is what I believed was true. So I am not intellectually lazy to post here something that is biased toward my Cowboys. Remember while in particular case you were not hosed, but the Lions truly have been screwed on several occasions. Including that infamous playoff penalty reversal against my Cowboys. I won't dispute that. That was bad. Yes I love the Justin Tucker 66 yarder. I'm even a Longhorns fan as he is a UT alum. But yes it is even obvious that the delay of game should have been called. One more example. Yes Calvin Johnson did catch it. That was bad (although I will submit that the Dez Bryant one against the Packers after Dallas got past that infamous Lions game - was a travesty too. And maybe even more obvious yet that it was a catch.). Anyway, outside of my Cowboys themselves I am rooting for the Lions in these playoffs. That's real. And I believe you guys are easily in the right hands under the coaching and leadership of Dan Campbell. And I flat out like him too. The NFL needs more guys like him. For real! 😀 Go Cowboys! Go Lions!
You missed the worst part of the Dallas picking up the chains and moving them back call. It was Dez Bryant running on the field with no helmet arguing with the refs which is a no negotiation additional penalty on Dallas! Not one should that call not have been overturned. They should have tacked 15 more yards on.
The worse! What a waste of Tate & Johnson🔥
That no call on Bryant AND the flag pick up on the blatant PI on Pettigrew STILL burns my a** to this day, and to make it worse, there are Dallas Cowboy fans who tell you..."No the correct call was made on that play, there was no PI"
I hate the Dallas Cowboys to this day....
Always a good Sunday when the Cowboys lose....
@@Teebone211 It was Karma though that Dez Bryant had to suffer the Calvin Johnson call the following week hahaha
The same 2 referees Scott Novak and Terrance Mills worked together in the Ravens 66 yarder game, phantom face mask game and 10 second run off game. Either they are terrible at their jobs or had money against the Lions.
Fail mary had replacement refs.

@@andriykorobov jags had been to the AFC championship in the last 5 years. Vikings are always in the hunt. The browns even have a playoff win. There's a large chunk of lions fans who have never been alive to see a playoff win. You adopted the darkness. We were born in it.
@@desmondwaters3566 #1 defense but your qb is just shit and that's not misery(Jags). Again hope is what fuels real pain, you guys have moved on to empathy, to bad your team is actually looking good and there the hope that get that real pain going yhea
Hello. Cowboys fan here. If your team resides in the twilight purgatory of mediocrity, you owe us rent.
Lions fan here Reporting as an eligible viewer.
Here after Dallas week 17. It never fucking ends.
I think the NFL just doesn't want Detroit to win. You don't see something like this constantly happen to a team unless it's on purpose.
Who cares about the reason? It never stops being hilarious. *😂🤣☠️💀*
@@a.grimes4202 that's true as well I guess
I think the city of Detroit itself needs a win... badly.
Not as much as they hate the raiders
It’s their fault they fired Caldwell who is a much bigger example of racial discrimination in the NFL than Brian Flores, because after being head coach of a poverty franchise and nearly turning it around, he was only hired for one season afterwards as a quarterbacks coach.
Calvin Johnson after THE CATCH being called a non touchdown
"I'm sorry was the ball not in my hand and my feet not in endzone? I thought this was America"
The Lions last two playoff games were so heavily gated by officials. It was insane. Both times.
If you are talking about the New Orleans game, that was horrific. The two guards grabbed Fairly and Suh inside the collar on every play. Yahoo had a behind the qb picture the next day of a Drew Brees touchdown pass where you could clearly see both guards pulling both defensive tackles to the ground by their collar.
That game was the first time ive ever thought ive had hard evidence the playoffs are rigged. It was the most insane game ive watched when it comes to bias officiating. @@markkelly8656
The Curse is so powerful it still haunts even when the Lions aren’t playing! That Rams v Seahawks game was atrocious.
Underrated comment. Funny as hell.
I remember laughing in disbelief. Two horrendously stupid penalties against the Rams that ruined the Lions chances at a playoff game… that’s before you consider the decision making game was played BEFORE the lions played. Second place became ruining the Packers Playoff chances.
As a Lions fan, this hurts. Hopefully once we become good (god willing), the zebras won’t pick on us as much.
Do you know around when this started? I've seen them get cheated bad multiple times. One being the 2 straight illegal hands to the face calls against the packers where I couldn't even take my friends money on our bet.
I think you guys could do it with Dan Campbell. He’s a perfect coach for them
@@mattwallace2221 It has felt lifelong for me. In the 90's I remember a penalty for Lions fans, at home, being too loud. Look it up. So then I remember 2010's "process of the catch", to take away Calvin's game winning TD, felt like the culmination of mounting abuse from officials. It did not feel like the beginning. The abuse stayed at a consistent level from then on, made even more noticeable by how the Lions actually had some good teams in the following decade.

This is actually pretty unbelievable. I feel for Lions fans.
brandon said it.. its cause its the lions
O fuck off... the nfl anytime the lions ask for fair refs
it's just how it is homie we have accepted it
@@YungAcorn man lions fans would be meN boxers all the punching would hurt them
WE ARE MISERABLE
Let’s not forget that Dez Bryant ran all the way to the middle of the field with his helmet off to complain in that playoff game-and the refs were so busy overturning PI that they ignored that penalty as well
A point of emphasis that year was calling players on field who removed helmet.
The penalty for taking off your helmet is only for players that were in the play. It did not apply to Bryant.
If you want to ding him for talking to the refs, Stafford complained about as much to the refs. Offsetting dead ball fouls. Nothing happens.
The flag should have been on Pettigrew. He had Hitchens by the facemask and pulled him into contact.
@@ihcterra4625 You were not to leave the sidelines period, anyways. He should have been ejected.
@@KingOfNebbishes I notice you did not address the face mask penalty they should have called on Pettigrew. The most you could have hoped for is offsetting penalties, replay the down.
They can substitute between plays, so that isn’t true that players can’t run on the field or be without a helmet. The only thing Dez did that was illegal was arguing with the ref. Since Stafford did the exact same thing, he should have been treated exactly like Bryant. If you wanted them to eject Bryant, Stafford should have been also.
The thing Lions fans always miss is, they were calling the same for both teams. They let Hitchens’ contact go because they had been letting it go for both teams the entire game. It is also why they let the face mask on Pettigrew go.
Everyone cries about too many penalties, but when the refs keep the laundry in their pockets, Lions fans whine about them not making calls on the other team when the Lions have benefited just as much from non calls.
@@ihcterra4625 " I notice you did not address the face mask penalty they should have called on Pettigrew. The most you could have hoped for is offsetting penalties, replay the down. "
Copium at it's finest right there, folks. He wants them NOT to call DPI for hands in the face and claims it's because they were "letting it go," but then instantly wants an OPI that they were "letting go" all game because their star WR did something completely dumb AFTER the play that should have gotten him tossed by NFL rules.
You’ll need to amend this list to include tonight’s Cowboys game
I myself am a Detroit lions fan. I would just like to say, after watching this video, and reliving all of those plays, I punched a hole in my wall.
@@james_ford86 😉
LMFAO!!! OK This just makes me laugh,...I felt this.
🤣🤣🤣 my boy. Detroit vs everybody
Was it the same one you had punched out and repaired eight other times when the botched calls happened?
I actually forgot about that Golden Tate touchdown reversal…damnit lol
Not even a Lions fan, but DAMN. Please NFL give the Lions a break.
Imagine watching these games live😂
Who’s here after 🦁 got robbed yet against the Cowboys when number 68 reported he was an eligible receiver, caught the 2pt conversion and the refs said he was ineligible….
When the Lions drafted a QB from Bobby Layne's high school with the #1 pick 50 years after the supposed curse I was so convinced that it was over. I was so wrong. So so wrong.
As a lifelong lions fan (37 years of this abject misery), I appreciate someone taking the time to spotlight all of these officiating moments that me and my equally depressed friends sit around and remember with absolute contempt.
I just call it for what it is. The WWEFL. Al that was Needed was Vince McMahon as the commissioner.
Facts💯
All these bad calls over the years have almost turned me into a conspiracy theorist because they're unbelievable. There's more, two years ago vs. Minnesota last game of the year so it probably went overlooked but a completely clean 4th down sack on Cousins got called roughing the passer led to them getting a touchdown and a Marvin Jones touchdown got overturned giving Minnesota the game.
It’s not a conspiracy if it’s true. Learn yourself.
As a Viking fan I legit felt sick watching that game. So many calls went our way for no reason
The lions also grabbed Joe webb my the facemasks and sacked him for a game winning play.
The Lions get their calls too
@@zachphillips7997 I remember Joe Webb for that one time he lined up against Richard Sherman as a wideout, that was absolutely hilarious!

As a Broncos fan in Michigan who also roots for the Lions, thank you for finally be the one outside of Michigan to notice how badly the Lions have gotten the shaft over the years. So maddening.
Nah. It's been pretty obvious to anyone watching over the last several years that NFL refs have some weird beef with the Lions. I never bitch about bad calls because I know the Lions get it worse than anybody and it's not even close.
^this, apparently you don’t know any real people lol
I think that 2019 MNF packers game really opened people's eyes. The discourse really changed after that.
Finally? Did you not see the part where he showed hes been documenting this for years? Lol
@@50calmaster1 lol, I'm banned from the Packers subreddit because of that game. (I'm a Bengals fan)
As a lifetime Lions fan, here we go.
The TD by golden tate against the falcons is one of the most botched plays ever. Not only was this considered absolutely terrible, but the lions were one game off of making the playoffs that year....
....and had they won that game against the falcons, they would've guaranteed a WC spot.
That was the correct call though.
@@bjchit the ball passed the line before he was considered down. That was a TD.
@@freedtv3490 His knee is on the ground and the Atlanta cornerback’s hand is on his shoulder, both before the ball crossed the goal line.
@bjchit no, it wasn’t. It was a clear-cut case of a TD. Ball broke the plain before his knee was down.
Even if it wasn’t, the 10-second runoff wasn’t the right call. He was down before the 10 second mark. They should have had one more play.
@@alexjones3511 14:54 Rate’s knee is visibly on the ground with a Falcon player touching his shoulder, with the clock right at :10 seconds.
I was at that 2017 Falcons game, the sound when they made the call was deafening. The refs practically ran away afterwards, people were pissed, I honestly thought there was going to be some kind of riot or something for a second haha. It's nice to hear someone else say how screwed over we always get
You can add this whole fucking game into this video fucking insane
The NFL needs an alarm to go off for when the play clock hits 00s similar to the buzzer shot clock in basketball.
You'll never had a delay of game issue since the refs can stare down the ball and not have to shift their focus to two different things going on a once.
It's not a penalty for the ball to fail to be snapped when the play clock reaches zero. Once the play clock reaches zero then the appropriate official has to look away from the clock and observe the ball to see if it has been snapped. That is a delay built into the enforcement of the rule that effectively adds more than one full second to the play clock.
@@johngilmer sorry bro but it doesn't take almost 2 seconds to look from one place to another unless you're motion blurred out of your mind
@@DJ-ij7ki the tv play clock was off

That packers game with 3 phantom calls on flowers literally made me stop watching football until halfway through last season.
SAME!
He had never been called for a hands to face in his career prior to that
1 phantom call*
And the refs helped the Lions more than the Packers in that game
@@matthewthemilkbender8095ik this is an old comment but idc bc this is a brain dead opinion and I needed to let you know lmao Green Bay absolutely got helped that game
I think every NFL fan, no matter what your team is, recognizes this is true. Detroit ALWAYS gets terrible officiating against them.
Well I come here to say they’ve done it to us again fellas, one of the worst calls tonight agains the cowboys and this upload came to mind eminently.
I was so pissed off for Detroit in that MNF game against Green Bay in 2019, it really looked like the refs wanted the Lions to lose, especially since they got hosed the week prior. Conspiracy theorists that believe the league is rigged don't look so crazy all of a sudden.
Thank you, our pain is unending.
Hello refball my old friend.
I've never seen a video that has aged better than this.
Dez dropping it the week after the blown PI call against the lions will always be one of the most satisfying NFL moments for me.
I don’t believe there’s some conspiracy against the Lions. But JESUS I AGREE. Seeing Dallas lose it that way was so sadly gratifying.
I still like to point out that if we’re going to play revisionist history and say that Dez caught it now that the rule has changed, we should acknowledge the fact that Dallas never should’ve been in that game. Not only was it a PI, but there was a blatant defensive holding right before (defender grabbed the jersey) and then Dez stepped onto the field without his helmet on to argue with the ref and should’ve received an unsportsmanlike penalty. Detroit should’ve gotten like 30 yards on the two penalties. Now, granted, there’s the argument that Detroit would’ve turned the ball over or missed the game-icing kick anyway since those things just seem to happen to Detroit. But still. I don’t know how the same ref can miss three penalties within just a couple of seconds like that.
Agree! Karma is real sometimes
he caught that ----- That was another rigged call.....
Thats one of my all time favorite moments. That playoff game where Dez came running out on the filed with no helmet still makes me sick to stomach
I grew up in Detroit and you have no idea the pain this causes lions fan, and then people just say we suck. I think that's why lions fans won't give up on em, cuz one season very soon we will get the respect we deserve
AND THAT YEAR IS THIS YEAR MY FRIEND!!!
@@justinthomas7330YESSIR
Welp time to update and add to this after the game tonight against the cowboys…
Who's here after we got robbed of a win against the cowboys
As a lions fan thank you for bringing light to this I thought I was just a angry fan that thought we got screwed more than others, but man is it tough to rewatch these things
That's exactly what you are. Literally every team in every sport could make videos like this
You missed my favorite terrible call, the time when a D-line man put his hands on the face of a Lions O-lineman.
The Lions got called for illegal hands to the face.
Yeah, that was Glasgow against the bears IIRC. Fucking maddening.
Thank you for mentioning that play. It’s one of my favorite examples but I can never find the footage of it. The refs literally just made the call on the wrong team. Also don’t forget the Cardinals game when we returned that kick for like 50 yards and the refs decided to bring the play back to the 1 yard line because a Cardinals player touched the ball there and threw it back in play.
"Hands to the face #60"
I remember this game against the bears. Refs literally called a hands to the face against the dude whose head was getting shoved wayyyy back 😂😂😂😂
Illegal face to the hands🤣
Some things never change
And the legend continues. He announced.
Lions: So bad for so long that I want them to turn things around
Browns: continually make bad decisions with such constancy that I find comfort in how I can rely on them being bad and it being all their fault
They are not the same
Correction: the Browns consistently are screwed by their own incompetence AND the refs.
Am I the only one that wants to see the Browns and Lions both reach their 1st superbowl in franchise history the same year playing against each other? It'd be the best historical story that could be written since both teams were the best teams in the NFL in the 50's! They played against each other 4 times in the championship game in the 50's splitting the series! The browns played in 7 championship games in the 50's total, and the Lions played in 4 total!
But the Lions weren’t bad during the Stafford years, just game after game lost to bad calls. They weren’t good enough to blow their opponents out enough to overcome refs calls tho.
One thing we can all agree on, bad calls stink… unless that call of course helps my team win!
I grew up in Michigan. I've been a Lions fan since 1979 and all of this is so, so sadly true. I've witnessed it all in real time. For this reason, when this team finally breaks through with MC/DC and Brad Holmes at the helm, the entire world will be wearing Honolulu blue and silver. Special shout out to Peyton Manning and Jeff Daniels for, seemingly, helping to break this curse. Go Lions!!
“That don’t look like water”
“That’s cuz it’s WHISKY!”
Lmao
This season has seen some additionally horrendous calls against the Lions but they have managed to overcome them!!! This team is different, and at no point do you feel like one bad call will ruin the game. On a side note, can we get a god damn buzzer in the pockets of the refs for clocks (both play clock and game clock) going to ZERO. This way they cant jam the Lions again like they tried to do this year and have done in the past.
I'm a Saints fan and I've seen my team get shafted hard by the refs every season. 2018 was a special standout. However, we have nothing on the Lions. The Lions get fucked over harder than any team in the league. I'm genuinely rooting for them to turn it around a win a Super Bowl here soon. They deserve it.
As a Saints fan, I think it's Lions #1 and Saints #2. The 2018 no-PI call was the worst call of all time and robbed us of a Brady-Brees Super Bowl but the Lions have suffered some really awful shit.
For real. As a Saints fan, I thought the refs hated us, but seeing this, I’m still mad about it but not as much 😭
The Saints have only had it real bad recently. From the Broncos returning a blocked XP and not getting called out for stepping his entire foot out of bounds in 2016, the No-Call in the NFCCG, the Texans getting extra time in week 1 2019, the Rams getting a fumble blown dead after Cam Jordan was already 40 yards away from where he recovered it the next week, the refs pitching a hissy fit later that year and giving the Panthers their challenged PI but not the Saints when they challenged a much more clear call in the same game...
I'd say the Saints are a clear #1 right now, but the Lions have dealt with this shit forever lol.
you need to go back to 1967...its all there
One of the hardest things I've ever had to do is sit patiently through the travesty that was Lions vs. Packers in October of 2019.
My supervising pastor, a Packer fan, was sitting next to me the entire game. I had to bite my tongue to keep from screaming obscenities at the blatantly terrible calls against Flowers that gave the Packers the win.
And then they did it AGAIN, in the SAME SEASON.
Detroit vs Everybody
That game was and all time low in officiating. It wasn't just the two phantom hands-to-the-face, there were FIVE INSANELY OBVIOUSLY HORRIFIC calls against the Lions in that game. And Green Bay needed every last one of them to squeak out the win. I was beside myself trying to sit through it also.
@@johnboehmer6683 then the lions lost out on the season. That game was a death blow for that team and it was caused by horrific referees. NFL needs to take accountability for stuff like this.
Good news, hopefully a whole decade of revenge against the Packers is ahead of us. Intercepting Aaron Rodgers 3 times in the same game felt real good.
As a Lions fan of 50 years, I've lived through them all.
You can add the missed call in the Packers game on 9/28/23. The 3rd quarter ended and the Packers were allowed to snap the ball and complete a 40 pass. The Lions won that game but the NFL Officials tried to help the Packers.
This is why even other NFC North teams, like me, feel bad for the Lions. You literally can’t have shit in Detroit
THANK YOU BRANDON…..all I’ve been hearing is “the game clock and the stadium clock are never synced” us Detroit Lions fans say THANK YOU!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Watching this to prepare for the worst against the Bucs in this Sunday's playoff game. And this season has already given so much more fuel to add to this fire. The fact that we broke the drought is a testiment to Dan THE MAN Campbell.
THANK YOU, it feels so much better to hear someone from the outside say it, I feel like I’m going crazy sometimes
As a lifelong Bears fan even I have massive sympathy for the Lions getting screwed by horrible officiating, especially when they are playing Green Bay (hell sometimes when they are playing us!)
I hope the both of us can turn things around someday soon and spin the division on it's head.
The Calvin Johnson rule was complete trash
@@zackflora6165 It was absolutely trash
@@TwitchyMovies My favorite Lions/Bears moment: The blocked field goal return for a TD that eventually would turn out to be the game-winning TD for the Lions. This was at Soldier Field in like 2004 or 2005. A 38-40 year old backup safety named Bracy Walker caught the ball after Shaun Rogers got a piece of it and rambled 92 yards for the score.
This was my favorite Lions win over the Bears in my lifetime because my friend who is a Bears fan was talking so much trash before and during the game. I drank his tears after my Lions won. So awesome. It's just a shame that moments like that are so rare for Lions' fans.
Especially when they are playing Green Bay my ass
@@james_ford86 went to a great(both teams were junk) bears lions game back when Jeff Garcia was there QB. When into OT. I went to use the bathroom at the end of regulation. Pick 6, game over before I even got to pee.
As a life long Lions fan I approve this video.
Lions fans, as a Cleveland fan, I can feel your pain. The classic burn for us is "Bottlegate," where the refs retroactively declared a challenge to a catch 2 plays back (you can not do this,) leading to a forfeit, which was then changed as the NFL demanded some Browns come out and let the clock run out. But we also have this years catch against the Ravens where a man several feet in was called out of bounds, blowing the play dead.
Excellent video. I've lived my entire life in Michigan (42yrs) and this video nails it, but like he says "Nobody gives a shit, because it's the Lions" I'm very pleased with the way the 2023 season is going for the Lions. Forward Down The Field!
The problem is that these bad calls happen at times where it’s literally impossible for the lions to overcome them the majority of the time.
I....I go into this video knowing I'm about to relive so much pain.
And yet, as a Lions fan that's just how I approach everything.
Who else is getting this recommended after the 2pt conversion robbery against the cowboys?
Idk why the hell I clicked on this I'm a die hard Lions fans and just willingly re-lived all of this. Immense amounts of pain
This is why, as a Bills fan, I always root for the Lions...as long as they aren't playing the Bills of course.
I am Lions Fan. I am really hope you Bills Fans get Super Bowl Champion because you guys deserves it.
I was hope your Bills enter Super Bowl last season.
Thank you for acknowledging what all lions fans have known for years.
RUclips chose the perfect time to recommend this to me after what happened in the Cowboys game
I knew there was a reason I loved your channel. I’m a lifelong Detroit Lions fan and it’s crazy how often it happens…. Thank you!
There are some rules I can see why you might need hindsight to fix. The rule about challenging an automatically reviewed play giving a 15yd penalty + them not reviewing the play seems like the dumbest thing, even without hindsight.
Almost like 8 year olds decided on the rule
This happened so much as a lions fan you forget about some of these and then you see them again and you get that sickness in your stomach like it just happened. Damn it all
It makes me furious to be honest. That's why it's gonna be so sweet when Dan Campbell makes us a winning team!
You are so right! Can't believe all the bullshit for so many years. It's a fucking circus
This is deadass the video we needed. I've been having this talk all week with people
That calvin catch in the back of the emd zone, he literally had 2 feet, a knee and ball control before it came loose lmao
I didn't realize this video was about the Lions. I just saw the Aaron Rogers penalty on the thumb nail and said, "Man, you could do a full video about the Lions"
As a Packers fan, I can safely say that the Lions are the only team in our division that I actually feel sorry for. This team just can't catch a flipping break.
Yall gotten some help over the years haha
How sorry you feeling now I know that refs spotted you some points last Thursday but y’all still got dog walked
@@lukethespook1011 Cry, fan of a team that hasn't won a championship since at least 1985.
Dont feel so sorry for us anymore, huh
@@PenguinKingQ Y’all still have only one playoff win in the last 66 years, so yes, I do.
Revisiting this a year later as the Lions are surging is... a special feeling
It does feel good that we actually seem good enough to overcome the bullshit refs. Even this year already. KC game when the entire world witnessed the refs letting KC cheat for pretty much the entire game. And luckily we had enough of a lead built where the 14 points the zebras gave GB last week didn't matter. 2 phantom penalties to extend their first drive and then apparently the ref with the slow eyes was there again for the end of the 3rd quarter.
4-1
All the love from you and Grossi is great. I have been watching for a while, but the new lions love is so welcomed.
A few years ago sports illustrated had an article about the lions at the end of the season. That year they won 2 games. Had there not been blown calls at the very end of games, they claimed the lions would have won 14 that year. Us lions fans have just gotten used to getting screwed over the years
Thanks for letting me live through this again, Perna. At least now I can drown out my sorrows in some Billie Jean song covers from the Lions roster.
Sorry LQ
Watching this video as a Lions fan makes my blood pressure spike
I really genuinely appreciate this. Thank you!
Perna’s kid must be approaching the Terrible Twos, his hair is going greyer than Steve Martin at age 22
Hahahahahah...and yes
Thanks for shedding a light on this. If you go further down the rabbit hole you'll learn that Walt Coleman was the lead official in at least half of those games with missed calls. He is also responsible for the infamous "tuck rule" which you also mentioned. Probably the worst official in NFL history who was able to hold onto his officiating job for way too long
This brought back so many gut turning moments. Thanks.
Im going to add week 17 2023 Lions Cowboys, refs nullify a 2 pt conversion on declaring a player inellidgable.
its so funny how decker is talking right to the refs face and the ref runs away and acts like he doesn't hear anything
As a Lions fan, I appreciate this video so much.
"The Lions have terminal cancer but without the mercy of dying"......I mean, you're simply the best my man.
I came across this just after the flag for ineligible receiver when the Lions went for 2 and the win at Dallas
In that Cowboys playoff game there was also a bad call in the first quarter that caused the Lions drive to end prematurely and led to a Cowboys touchdown. I am not 100% sure, but I think their drive right after also had a bad call so the league basically spotted them a 14 point swing on penalties before the bad call you showed.
That is when I learned the league would never let the lions win a Superbowl. They will always call the game for the bigger teams.
Not a Lions fan but now I am furious. JUSTICE FOR THE LIONS!
When you’re watching a lions vs packers game on Monday or Thursday night you just know they’re gonna call some absolute BS
Thank you again for this video Perna
As a lions fan i’m thankful you see it also. And here we are 1 after this video was uploaded and the packers scored another touchdown off of a delay of game once again😭
@ThatsGoodSports that Packers-Lions game was in 2015.
its sad... but all we want as lions fans is a PLAYOFF WINNNNNN. Thank you for making this video Perna.. the football world needs to know of our scorn.
I'm happy someone brings this up. It seems like nobody talks about how frequently the lions get screwed over except lions fans
