@@patrickempey3584 So you're saying that didn't get away with anything in that game? There were no calls for both teams. there were several missed calls for holding and facemasking. The PI that was called in the endzone on Terrion Arnold was a bad call and it took away a pick for the Lions.
This as a Packers fan: The Lion's have been robbed many, many times in the past by bad calls. Is this justice? I don't know. I always felt awkward winning against them by bad calls. Sure you take the win. But it always felt like you did not really earn it. I hope there are some Lion's fans feeling the same way today.
The problem is when a team is down 15 people to injuries ,don’t make it a close game and you can overcome any bad call …the elephant in the room is if the lions had their full roster and Green Bay did ,this game would have been won by 20 or more by the lions !
Sometimes, the officiating is so bad in the NFL, one can't help but wonder if these refs are on the take or, is it rigged? Even though I am a "die-hard" Lions fan, I agree that offensive interference call was bullshit! It is also, way past time that the NFL instituted "full time" referees!!
What? Lol did you watch the video. They are right, the packers got robbed of a td and lions shouldn’t have got their field goal at the end. Packers should have won the game.
@@jonnydangerduderOf course he didnt watch the video. You think Lions fans actually watch film? They have the most casual fan base in all of sports. Only a small number of them even watched football before 2022.
@@jonnydangerduder Refs screwed them the entire game. The reversed td was just the nail in the coffin. Lions thug players were head hunting all night and I counted at least 7 blatant holds on that bum Skipper that wasnt called. The fact the Packers only lost by 3 speaks to how good of a team they really are.
It’s like these Packer fans have never had a badly officiated game against them, and which through history is probably close to true, as they usually get the calls, especially against the lions. It happens to most other teams all the time, but when it finally happens to them, they lose their shit. How does it feel to be treated like most other NFL teams. It’s like they never had to deal with a call going against them. NFL officials have sucked for decades, sorry you guys finally caught the bad end for a change.
Oooh yeah Lions were head hunting all night. Worth noting, Dan Campbell was on the Bounty Gate Saints team. Only thing missing from Thursday's game were the bounties. Not to mention, that bum Skipper got away with holding nearly ever play, including a number of outside runs to his side that became first downs. Packers got robbed. Games like this really make the rigged talk hard to ignore.
Soft. He got a light slap on the helmet and was more than fine. How about you make plays instead of relying on soft penalties? Hell, your 1st pity TD involved no skill other than refs throwing flags down the field for you. Lions had to deal with an atrocious ghost holding call on the game winning drive that would have cost most teams the game. But unlike the Packers, the lions found a way to overcome it!
First, the line of scrimmage was outside the five yard line and the place of contact was close to a yard inside the five yard line. There is where you first go wrong because it looks like the contact is more than one yard out. But it doesn't matter, at no point are pick plays aloud, you can't knock a defender off his coverage and that's why this was called.
Wrong. Watson did not initiate the contact. The defender did. Watson was merely trying to run his route. The refs blew it. No big deal the Packers will play the Lions once more and this time it will mean a lot more when the sissy Lions get beaten.
I agree he was 2-3 yards down field and took the guy out of the play. Then you read if the ball is in the air. So how is it that the don’t care about the blatant holding by GB on the first score of the game? You know when GbB grabbed the guys shirt that had the chance to stop the play. Getting a bigger crying towel.
@steve87thpsap That is not even close to correct. It is like when a QB throws a paa from beyond the LOS. All of him and the ball has to be beyond the line. In Watson's penalty, his foot was on the 5. Which is 1 yard from the LOS and the contact was legal. Unlike LaPorta, who was 5 or 6 yards beyond the LOS. The call on Wataon was wrong, and the no-call on LaPorta was wrong.
Thank u sir. Dat was the point I was about to make. The Lions can make a 20 hour video of being hosed. The underdog is finally on top. When there's a team with a winning culture there will give the benefit to that team.
That Packers offensive PI was clearly 2 yards downfield. Not sure what the guys in the video are looking at, but it was beyond one yard. I do believe the second call should have been made.
@@Tra5h_boat6368 14 years ago the Lions got screwed out of a game winning TD. The refs blew it so bad the NFL had to come up with a new rule to justify it. Calvin Johnson Rule.
@@tombielecki160 bro nobody cares about 14 years ago. How does a bad call 14 years ago justify horrible officiating today? Packers have had horrible officiating instances too. Ever heard of the fail Mary?
Why aren't you guys saying anything about Darnell Wright's clothesline choke hold on Muhammad right in front of the referee during the Packers first touchdown. That should have been called back... But it wasn't. So the Packers got away with one there.
There were a few bad calls granted, but the Green Bay defense was soft all night. I had no doubt the Lions would go ahead after the pack tied it up and still plenty of time on the clock. Packer fan since 1971.
But the official has been missing a lot of calls and non calls. I really believe they need to be part of the NFL and be held accountable, just like the players and coaches and owners. This is just my opinion.
The biggest “debacle” in the NFL is that the technology is present to get every call correct and it’s not being used. Remember it doesn’t have to be flagrant “missed calls” by the officials to influence a game, holding by the O line or PI by the DB’s can change &/or switch momentum very quickly.
I don't know who's fans are worst, Dallas or GB. As long as calls are going their way good or bad, they're fine with it, but when tables are turned they both cry the loudest.
Yep and PFF graded our Center 0/0 pass protection bc of that. Clearly the Lions were favored in this game. That's why GB offense struggled the first quarter bc of the field position of Lion def center being almost helmet to helmet & over the line. It made GB center unable to protect Jordan bc he had no time to do so. No ability to get i to defensive position. I blame MLF for not making a change sooner. Guess lions have to cheat to beat the Packers. smh Plus that hit to Love's face by vengeful Z. Smith? BS no call there too. Sickening!
SOO WHAT!!! Officials are humans. They have miss a lot of calls. It's a part of the game. As a Cowboys fan, do you remember when the officials blew the call last year when the Lions were going in for a 2-point conversion, and the Lions missed winning the game? Did you make a video about that one. If you did, you were in favor that it was a good call, weren't you?
Refs miss things all the time. NFL/NBA. Does anyone really feel one team is favored? The most egregious missed call I've ever seen was the Nickell Robey Coleman running into the receiver in the 2021 NFC Championship game that propelled the Rams to the SB. Running into as in Ray Lewis running into.
These guys are objective non Lion or Packer fans. Stating facts. No whining? Oh, you must be or know a NFL ref? I, see..Hitler had friends too, I guess.
It’s the NO CALLS like helmet to helmet and roughing the passer calls that weren’t called on the Lions that made it possible for the Lions to get the Dub, so obvious the refs were in the Lions pockets !
@fredselbman3319 then why did they make that atrocious holding call against the lions on their game winning drive? That was supposed to win you the game, but Lions just overcame it.
Packers fan of 25 years. The officiating is hot garbage and it keeps getting worse and worse. Did Green Bay get robbed in officiating? Yes they did. Does it surprise me? No because it happens all over the league. Everywhere. Its ridiculous
Let me tell you something punk the Lions gave the Packers 14 points on the interception and when they went forward at the 30 our offensive line men handled you punks so don’t give me your bull. Crap you got your butt beat!
Packer fan here. We did get robbed. The call on Watson was egregious. These officials need to have their act cleaned up for the playoff game of Packers-Lions.
Wrong...on all counts. You'll never get by the Eagles. The Lions will hist the Eagles in the NFC championship and then beat the Bills for the Superbowl! Better luck next year 😅
@@jamiecimini Wrong...the Commanders will be playing the Eagles in the first playoff game. The Packers will defeat the Seahawks in the first playoff game and then destroy the Lions at Detroit in the 2nd even if the Officials are still trying to make sure the Lions win. Then the Packers will defeat the Eagles in the 3rd game before going to defeat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl! Better luck next year.
Stop it with the getting rob, y'all forget the Lions got the ball back after the OPI call and drove the down the field and got in the red zone. The lions was going to score a touchdown on that play anyway if needed... Because the Packers couldn't stop them.
I love reading all of the Packers true (almost) statements. It feels so good being on the other side of this. I have waited 40 years to feel this way. They were robbed, it is true, and I love it.
Wa Wa Wa... You guys are full of it. The Packer receiver targeted the DB, knocked him on his ass way before he ever looked for the ball. He was clearly just a blocker, should have avoided the contact. He targeted the DB. That's a direct violation of the rules. If you illegally target a DB the refs are a lot less likely to look at the one yard rule as closely. Laporta was a receiver who turned around and looked for the ball immediately as contact was initiated by the linebacker. Laporta's immediate motion was to meet the contact of the defender and turn around to catch the ball. He initiated nothing. The Packer receiver blind sided the defender instead of avoiding contact. Get a clue guys....
You did not keep yourself in the game the Lions kept you in the game but giving you the ball in your own territory twice we kept the game close not you lol
Controversial Take: To ensure that you win against a top team that the NFL wants to go to the Superbowl for more ratings inorder to earn more money $$$$$$, you need at least a 14 point lead within the last 2 minutes to offset the refs. Even still, good luck! I'm expecting people to call me a pussy and a complainer. Go ahead.
In the second half Love rolled out to his left. He threw a pass into the flat that I believe was incomplete. Love is pursued from behind by one defender, but Zadarius Smith comes at him from straight on (relatively) jump a up and with his right hand makes fairly simple v nificant contact with Love's face mask, helmet and head. That is a 15 yd penalty with at least a warning for a DQ. That same side of the field missed a spearing call earlier in the game on Detroit. Pass was caught in the flat behind the line, the ball carrier led with the crown of his helmet to contact the head of a Packer defender. 15 yds and a DQ for spearing.
1:18 A pick play is when a player is sent downfield to block a defender so the receiver he is covering gets free, this is illegal. A "pick-play" is essentially offensive pass interference Blocking more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage by an offensive player prior to a pass being thrown is offensive pass interference. A blindside block is any block toward the blocker's own end line or against an opponent who because of his physical positioning and focus of concentration is especially vulnerable to injury. A blindside block is illegal unless it is initiated with open hands.
If a receiver is running a slant route and another defender playing man-to-man coverage trying to cover a back in the flat then runs into him, that's not a pick play. The defender can run into the receiver bc they are allowed within the rules to bump a receiver within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage. Watson was clearly ahead of his defender cutting into a slant when the safety made contract with him. You don't see Watson using his arms to block. He had the posture of a receiver running his route. The issue is that Lions were playing man-to-man coverage, and the Pack ran a play to beat man-to-man coverage. The officials took it upon themselves to rewrite the rules and call the play offensive PI and take a TD off the board. There were also a ton of plays in which the Lions committed OPI and there was no call by the officials. This has to go down as one of the worst officiating games ever in the regular season.
@@antoniouniverseantonio9630 First of all I am not that knowledgeable about football and all the rules. So you might know more about that then I do. As a guy who grew up in Detroit I have followed the Lions off an on all my life and feel the rivalry with Green Bay and Vince Lombardi's legacy and all that. I am pretty excited about this Lion's team and certainly see the excitement the NFL has for them this year. But I am not so jaded to think they don't make a serious effort to be even handed. This was an important game but I had to follow it on the radio because it was blacked out in my town.
Now I'm not talking about the rest of the game just this one play. I put the 1:18 time stamp there to highlight the contact. Adjust the playback speed to .25 and hit the 1:18. Watch it a few times and tell me it's not OPI. One way or another. I did not say it was a pick play although it is possible someone else might. I thought the explanation in the video was off such as saying the hit occurred on the 5 yard line so I put up some examples of illegal plays that were mentioned in the comments. Kerby Joseph is clearly focused on the quarterback to see where the ball is going to go when Christian Watson who is looking right at him slams into him with his shoulder and sends him flying. Bit more than a bump I would say. If you want to prove this was one of the "worst officiating games ever in the regular season" I think you've got your work cut out for you.
Not only was the call against Watson borderline at most (you see those "rub" routes two dozen times every game), but on that some play, the Lions DB goes on to CLEARLY grab and hold Watson (the #2 read on the play according to the coach and QB), more than once. Where was that penalty call? And then the non-call on the Lions makes it even more ridiculous. The inconsistencies in how and when these calls are made is terrible, especially when it costs a team points.
Finally, I understand why these calls/non calls are controversial. I now understand OPI. Unfortunately, bad refereeing has been occurring since I can remember, and one team suffers for it. Too bad that this time, it was my team, the Packers. It was a well - fought game.
That was the 4 yard line, the ref standing on the 5 yard line did have a better angle than your camera on the 50 yard line. Abd you have to stop were the contact was not were he landed.
And the second the Detroit player is running straight down the field, how do you know the green bay player was not running into him to slow him down for his buddies behind him? I'm petty sure you could call that one on every pass play. Maybe we should just make passing illegal or just make it an anything goes type of thing.
The wildest part was when LeFlore was flipping out at the refs on the sideline at the end of the game. One minute later, they call an atrocious holding call on the lions during their game winning drive to appease LeFlore (knew it was coming). Most teams would have lost the game right there, but the Lions overcame it like good teams do 🤷♂️
I saw that official who got bumped by a Packer lineman do a "flop" from that incidental contact. Too funny. In a game where it's best to not notice the refs they were sure VERY noticeable.
Doesn't make a difference. The pass interference rules are a joke. You should not be able to put your hands on a receiver after 5 yards. These players are wrapping there arms around receivers. Doesn't matter if you turn them or not. The push offs on both sides are ridiculous
@@michaellenz1508 You can bump a receiver within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage as long as you're not holding him. It just wasn't offensive pass interference. It's a blatant bull$hit call.
After slow motion, the lion was on the 4 yard line. And it doesn't get worse. The lion player was knocked out of the play, while the packer was only slowed down. If one 1was to be called,it would be on the packers.
Oh please, anyone who watches football knows you could call holding on every play. Officiating will never be an exact science, we need to learn to accept that. 🙄
As a Packers fan: I'm not upset about the officiating. It might have hurt the Packers, but the Packers have gotten many calls in the past (i.e. no DPI for contact on MVS last year during the Chiefs game, which was much more egregious than either of the calls mentioned in this video). That being said, I love this analysis. I actually thought the OPI was valid on Watson until you explained it so well, with references! Thank you for this! It's an awesome take, just because it's backed up so well!
They’re crying about a penalty, when at Green Bay they not only penalized Detroits best safety Brian Branch but they ejected the guy at the beginning of the game. Lions had their 3rd string Defense in and gave the Packers plenty of opportunities. Don’t be mad ya couldn’t get the Job done. Hats off to the Lions
As a Packer fan, I feel the refs blew it, and it was one sided. But I don't feel like the refs showed any favoritism or intentionally screwed the Packers. It's football, sometimes you get the breaks and sometimes you don't. Only a real loser would blame the refs or call it rigged. I'll leave that kind of attitude for teams that never won a Super Bowl. They need something to make themselves feel better. Blaming the refs is easier than admitting the team just sucked for the last 64 years.
During the Rodgers era Packers were always helped by the refs especially during the 4th quarter with no holding calls and bogus PI (not to mention the infamous face mask) to create the myth of his legendary comebacks. Listen to Packers fans complaining about refs is so hilarious. I am not a Lions fan but guys, give them a break. It's their moment to shine.
1st.. Watson hit a defensive player not even looking to engage with watson. Literally decleated him.. Then watson proceeds into the endzone area to hit another lions defender. At no point was he ever trying to turn and be open for a pass.. 2nd. La Porta and the linebacker mutually engaged eachother with La Porta turning to potentially receive a pass.. the linebacker doing just as much contact as la Porta.. call it correctly guys.
This will only get worse. It’s what happens when you allow online gambling on games should’ve never happened. It’s only going to get worse when there’s hundreds of millions of dollars at steak there’s going to be cheating.
I'm a Packers fan, and unfortunately, the refs made a poor judgment call. That contact was not a block. They ran into each other, and the call was wrong!
That has nothing to do with it, just one sided officiating. There were 2 obvious illegal head shots not called plus a whole lot of other stuff. Just follow the rules and call things fair, so simple & even with replay they can’t get it right
If the Packers stop them on the last play they have a opportunity to win the game but they didn't because couldn't...The lions went 4 for 5 on 4th downs I mean stop them & u win the game..
@@mowilliams8511The wrong OPI call on Watson took away a touchdown and the non call on the Lion player, on the last drive, meant you got better field advantage to do that 4th down. That are two key bad calls that seriously impacted the ability for the Packer to win. If roles were reversed you would be pissed too esp since the loss means GB has no ability to climb to win the division w/the loss. Good for you that what happened gave you an advantage. GB outscored you in the 2nd half. We could have won the game.
So let me get this straight the Lions player runs down the field and pushes the packers player out of the way then turns and catches the pass getting them in position for a field goal. That should have been a penalty pushing the Lions back out of field goal range. Give me a break!!!
How often have calls like this been called on the Lions. Remember the " Calvin Johnson" rule after he caught a pass for a touchdown, and as he layed on the ground he released the ball. Then they called incomplete pass.
Incidental contact. The two came to the same spot innocently. The Packer defender was keying on the Lion receiver and didn't see LaPorta. That was his pursuit trajectory. LaPorta had his head down running an inside hook pattern. You can see he is dragging his plant foot before the contact. The contact is in the process of hooking. Incidental...
The Lions defender wasn't even looking at Watson, which is why he bit the dust when he bumped Watson's shoulder. On the second play, you can see both Lions receivers, on both sides of the field, targeting and initiating contact with the defenders. Pretty obvious.
Crazy how you can see Watson try to get out the way so idk how that’s opi smh, yet they won’t call the push of st brown did, or the hands to the face he did to x
the ball has to be in the air for it to be considered a PI. And the first played, contact was clearly made at about the 4 yard marker and the Lions defender landed at 5 because of forward motion. and the Packers were trying that at other times in the game as well. You've misunderstood the rules.
Their might be a way to do something about pass interference calls. Give each team a challenge for the pass interference infraction. If they use it in the 1st half they'll get that challenge back in the 2nd half if the call is REVERSED. If you lose the challenge then you have no more challenges left in the 2nd half for PASS INTERFERENCE ONLY. You still keep your regular challenges for each half that you already have. The call must be made within 1 minute from when New York receives it
My personal opinion is it's not poor officiating it's very good officiating because it's intentional because the games are fixed and there's a lot of money riding on them and that's all there is to it

@@32Umzyit’s not a pick play! The defender was watching Jacobs and ran into Watson running a route! Watson tried to avoid the defender. It was unintentional contact just a game changing bad call! Multiple bad calls in favor of the Lions…
Exactly
The Packers may have been robbed, but no more than the Lions have been over the years. 1 or 2 examples of the Lions not getting flagged is nonsense.
Yes, let’s talk about random calls over the last few years not made in other games to justify why the packers were called for the same penalty in this game that the lions weren’t…are you high?
No. I'm Just correct. Historically the Lions have been on the wrong side of bad calls. Your just pissed that GB lost to them. Get over it.
@@patrickempey3584 So you're saying that didn't get away with anything in that game? There were no calls for both teams. there were several missed calls for holding and facemasking. The PI that was called in the endzone on Terrion Arnold was a bad call and it took away a pick for the Lions.
@ I’m not mad at all that’s just an outrageously stupid point you made.
@@JLRobertsonEnterprisesLLC that’s not what I’m saying because I literally didn’t say any of that 😂
This as a Packers fan: The Lion's have been robbed many, many times in the past by bad calls. Is this justice? I don't know. I always felt awkward winning against them by bad calls. Sure you take the win. But it always felt like you did not really earn it. I hope there are some Lion's fans feeling the same way today.
I don't always like Packers fan but when I do there just being honest 😉
These were not bad calls. Packers could not stop the Lions. Good win
Nope !
@@jxstpeachyy8556 objectively false. the lions turned it over on downs and punted twice.
The problem is when a team is down 15 people to injuries ,don’t make it a close game and you can overcome any bad call …the elephant in the room is if the lions had their full roster and Green Bay did ,this game would have been won by 20 or more by the lions !
Sometimes, the officiating is so bad in the NFL, one can't help but wonder if these refs are on the take or, is it rigged? Even though I am a "die-hard" Lions fan, I agree that offensive interference call was bullshit! It is also, way past time that the NFL instituted "full time" referees!!
These guys are trying so hard to convince you of their narrative.....they know nothing about officiating.
What? Lol did you watch the video. They are right, the packers got robbed of a td and lions shouldn’t have got their field goal at the end. Packers should have won the game.
Packers should have won the game. The refs totally fk’d them at the end. It was very evident if you watched the game haha.
@@jonnydangerduderOf course he didnt watch the video. You think Lions fans actually watch film? They have the most casual fan base in all of sports. Only a small number of them even watched football before 2022.
@@jonnydangerduder Refs screwed them the entire game. The reversed td was just the nail in the coffin. Lions thug players were head hunting all night and I counted at least 7 blatant holds on that bum Skipper that wasnt called. The fact the Packers only lost by 3 speaks to how good of a team they really are.
It’s like these Packer fans have never had a badly officiated game against them, and which through history is probably close to true, as they usually get the calls, especially against the lions. It happens to most other teams all the time, but when it finally happens to them, they lose their shit. How does it feel to be treated like most other NFL teams. It’s like they never had to deal with a call going against them. NFL officials have sucked for decades, sorry you guys finally caught the bad end for a change.
I am more concerned about tthe two hits to the head that were not called. Those should have been easy calls for any ref crew to make.
Oooh yeah Lions were head hunting all night. Worth noting, Dan Campbell was on the Bounty Gate Saints team. Only thing missing from Thursday's game were the bounties. Not to mention, that bum Skipper got away with holding nearly ever play, including a number of outside runs to his side that became first downs. Packers got robbed. Games like this really make the rigged talk hard to ignore.
Soft. He got a light slap on the helmet and was more than fine. How about you make plays instead of relying on soft penalties? Hell, your 1st pity TD involved no skill other than refs throwing flags down the field for you. Lions had to deal with an atrocious ghost holding call on the game winning drive that would have cost most teams the game. But unlike the Packers, the lions found a way to overcome it!
I don’t wanna hear it, when we played the packers we got robbed by the refs all the time
Were talking about THIS GAME. Stay on topic. Whataboutism is ridiculous. Sit down
For YEARS!
The difference is the packers didn't need help to beat those trash lions teams. Lions need help to beat packers
@@lukehainstock8281😂 delusion at its finest
First, the line of scrimmage was outside the five yard line and the place of contact was close to a yard inside the five
yard line. There is where you first go wrong because it looks like the contact is more than one yard out. But it doesn't matter, at no point are pick plays aloud, you can't knock a defender off his coverage and that's why this was called.
Wrong. Watson did not initiate the contact. The defender did. Watson was merely trying to run his route. The refs blew it. No big deal the Packers will play the Lions once more and this time it will mean a lot more when the sissy Lions get beaten.
This is why in sports u dominate & don't put the game in the refs hands because they're humans and subject to make mistakes....
Please don't quit your day jobs
They’re not wrong.
@@bryanglass5818you’re right, they’re not wrong. They’re totally wrong.

Your Wrong and probably from Detroit.
I agree he was 2-3 yards down field and took the guy out of the play. Then you read if the ball is in the air. So how is it that the don’t care about the blatant holding by GB on the first score of the game? You know when GbB grabbed the guys shirt that had the chance to stop the play. Getting a bigger crying towel.
And you proved that you’re overdue for an eye exam!
@steve87thpsap That is not even close to correct. It is like when a QB throws a paa from beyond the LOS. All of him and the ball has to be beyond the line. In Watson's penalty, his foot was on the 5. Which is 1 yard from the LOS and the contact was legal. Unlike LaPorta, who was 5 or 6 yards beyond the LOS.
The call on Wataon was wrong, and the no-call on LaPorta was wrong.
We, the Lions, have been hosed by officials forever it seems. This was a really close call and I think the officials got it right.
Thank u sir. Dat was the point I was about to make. The Lions can make a 20 hour video of being hosed. The underdog is finally on top. When there's a team with a winning culture there will give the benefit to that team.
All the calls were bad, you’re being biased towards your team
That Packers offensive PI was clearly 2 yards downfield. Not sure what the guys in the video are looking at, but it was beyond one yard. I do believe the second call should have been made.
Because the lions are a dirty team all around
@@BigfistJPthat it wasn’t blocking 😅

@@Tra5h_boat6368 14 years ago the Lions got screwed out of a game winning TD. The refs blew it so bad the NFL had to come up with a new rule to justify it. Calvin Johnson Rule.

Why aren't you guys saying anything about Darnell Wright's clothesline choke hold on Muhammad right in front of the referee during the Packers first touchdown. That should have been called back... But it wasn't. So the Packers got away with one there.
The game is so saturated with rules you can argue every play in every game. The refs can absolutely determine who wins
The officiating this year has been particularly terrible. You have to keep in mind the refs work for the owners, not the fans, not the players.
The NFL is over $160 billion dollar enterprise that employees part time officials to referee its games. Any questions?
Not sure what the point is, blown calls happen all the time. It's not gonna stop.
There were a few bad calls granted, but the Green Bay defense was soft all night. I had no doubt the Lions would go ahead after the pack tied it up and still plenty of time on the clock. Packer fan since 1971.
But the official has been missing a lot of calls and non calls. I really believe they need to be part of the NFL and be held accountable, just like the players and coaches and owners. This is just my opinion.
The biggest “debacle” in the NFL is that the technology is present to get every call correct and it’s not being used. Remember it doesn’t have to be flagrant “missed calls” by the officials to influence a game, holding by the O line or PI by the DB’s can change &/or switch momentum very quickly.
I don't know who's fans are worst, Dallas or GB. As long as calls are going their way good or bad, they're fine with it, but when tables are turned they both cry the loudest.
We got robbed all game. Nose Tackle lined up over center all game.
Yep and PFF graded our Center 0/0 pass protection bc of that. Clearly the Lions were favored in this game. That's why GB offense struggled the first quarter bc of the field position of Lion def center being almost helmet to helmet & over the line. It made GB center unable to protect Jordan bc he had no time to do so. No ability to get i to defensive position. I blame MLF for not making a change sooner. Guess lions have to cheat to beat the Packers. smh Plus that hit to Love's face by vengeful Z. Smith? BS no call there too. Sickening!
@@DMWB57😂🤣😂🤣 what a 🤡
SOO WHAT!!! Officials are humans. They have miss a lot of calls. It's a part of the game. As a Cowboys fan, do you remember when the officials blew the call last year when the Lions were going in for a 2-point conversion, and the Lions missed winning the game? Did you make a video about that one. If you did, you were in favor that it was a good call, weren't you?
Refs miss things all the time. NFL/NBA. Does anyone really feel one team is favored? The most egregious missed call I've ever seen was the Nickell Robey Coleman running into the receiver in the 2021 NFC Championship game that propelled the Rams to the SB. Running into as in Ray Lewis running into.

Stop it with the getting rob, y'all forget the Lions got the ball back after the OPI call and drove the down the field and got in the red zone. The lions was going to score a touchdown on that play anyway if needed... Because the Packers couldn't stop them.
One guy got knocked on his ass and the other wasnt even hit.
You clowns are grasping at straws because you dont like the Lions. So obvious.
I'd agree as Vikes fan. Totally not = .
The Lion's #14 was also blocking after one yard on the left side during the same play, also missed by the lion refs!
The worst no call was when Nixon blitzed, had a free run at Goff, obviously got held, Goff threw a TD.
I love reading all of the Packers true (almost) statements. It feels so good being on the other side of this. I have waited 40 years to feel this way. They were robbed, it is true, and I love it.
Wa Wa Wa... You guys are full of it. The Packer receiver targeted the DB, knocked him on his ass way before he ever looked for the ball. He was clearly just a blocker, should have avoided the contact. He targeted the DB. That's a direct violation of the rules. If you illegally target a DB the refs are a lot less likely to look at the one yard rule as closely. Laporta was a receiver who turned around and looked for the ball immediately as contact was initiated by the linebacker. Laporta's immediate motion was to meet the contact of the defender and turn around to catch the ball. He initiated nothing. The Packer receiver blind sided the defender instead of avoiding contact. Get a clue guys....
There were about a half a dozen bad/missed calls that went against the Packers. Easily could have changed the outcome of the game.
The Packers could have just scored more points😂
I just hear a bunch of cry babies
The touchdown would have forced Detroit to score a touchdown and the chances of that were much lower
You did not keep yourself in the game the Lions kept you in the game but giving you the ball in your own territory twice we kept the game close not you lol
Ref favoritism cost the Pack the game. Detroit getting KC treatment. It's lame to watch. Refs are literally robbing points off the board.
Really? Both teams had the same number of penalties.🤦♂️
The lions lead the league with players hurt,just like the 49ers
You could tell by how much Detroit glazing was going on during the pre-game show that Detroit was slotted to win by the league
Yeah, just watch for the glazing and be accordingly. You’ll win every time. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They called it offensive pass interference because it was offensive pass interference…
Controversial Take: To ensure that you win against a top team that the NFL wants to go to the Superbowl for more ratings inorder to earn more money $$$$$$, you need at least a 14 point lead within the last 2 minutes to offset the refs. Even still, good luck!
I'm expecting people to call me a pussy and a complainer. Go ahead.
You’re not wrong!
In the second half Love rolled out to his left. He threw a pass into the flat that I believe was incomplete. Love is pursued from behind by one defender, but Zadarius Smith comes at him from straight on (relatively) jump a up and with his right hand makes fairly simple v nificant contact with Love's face mask, helmet and head. That is a 15 yd penalty with at least a warning for a DQ.
That same side of the field missed a spearing call earlier in the game on Detroit. Pass was caught in the flat behind the line, the ball carrier led with the crown of his helmet to contact the head of a Packer defender. 15 yds and a DQ for spearing.
1:18
A pick play is when a player is sent downfield to block a defender so the receiver he is covering gets free, this is illegal.
A "pick-play" is essentially offensive pass interference
Blocking more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage by an offensive player prior to a pass being thrown is offensive pass interference.
A blindside block is any block toward the blocker's own end line or against an opponent who because of his physical positioning and focus of concentration is especially vulnerable to injury. A blindside block is illegal unless it is initiated with open hands.
If a receiver is running a slant route and another defender playing man-to-man coverage trying to cover a back in the flat then runs into him, that's not a pick play. The defender can run into the receiver bc they are allowed within the rules to bump a receiver within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage. Watson was clearly ahead of his defender cutting into a slant when the safety made contract with him. You don't see Watson using his arms to block. He had the posture of a receiver running his route. The issue is that Lions were playing man-to-man coverage, and the Pack ran a play to beat man-to-man coverage. The officials took it upon themselves to rewrite the rules and call the play offensive PI and take a TD off the board.
There were also a ton of plays in which the Lions committed OPI and there was no call by the officials. This has to go down as one of the worst officiating games ever in the regular season.
@@antoniouniverseantonio9630 First of all I am not that knowledgeable about football and all the rules. So you might know more about that then I do. As a guy who grew up in Detroit I have followed the Lions off an on all my life and feel the rivalry with Green Bay and Vince Lombardi's legacy and all that. I am pretty excited about this Lion's team and certainly see the excitement the NFL has for them this year. But I am not so jaded to think they don't make a serious effort to be even handed. This was an important game but I had to follow it on the radio because it was blacked out in my town.
Now I'm not talking about the rest of the game just this one play.
I put the 1:18 time stamp there to highlight the contact. Adjust the playback speed to .25 and hit the 1:18. Watch it a few times and tell me it's not OPI. One way or another.
I did not say it was a pick play although it is possible someone else might. I thought the explanation in the video was off such as saying the hit occurred on the 5 yard line so I put up some examples of illegal plays that were mentioned in the comments.
Kerby Joseph is clearly focused on the quarterback to see where the ball is going to go when Christian Watson who is looking right at him slams into him with his shoulder and sends him flying. Bit more than a bump I would say.
If you want to prove this was one of the "worst officiating games ever in the regular season" I think you've got your work cut out for you.
News Flash... NFL officials been calling penalties on "pick plays" all season long. LaPorta sitting down on his route was not OPI. Learn ball.
Yea, it may be the worst officiated game this year.
Not only was the call against Watson borderline at most (you see those "rub" routes two dozen times every game), but on that some play, the Lions DB goes on to CLEARLY grab and hold Watson (the #2 read on the play according to the coach and QB), more than once. Where was that penalty call? And then the non-call on the Lions makes it even more ridiculous. The inconsistencies in how and when these calls are made is terrible, especially when it costs a team points.
Finally, I understand why these calls/non calls are controversial. I now understand OPI. Unfortunately, bad refereeing has been occurring since I can remember, and one team suffers for it. Too bad that this time, it was my team, the Packers. It was a well - fought game.
That was the 4 yard line, the ref standing on the 5 yard line did have a better angle than your camera on the 50 yard line. Abd you have to stop were the contact was not were he landed.
And the second the Detroit player is running straight down the field, how do you know the green bay player was not running into him to slow him down for his buddies behind him? I'm petty sure you could call that one on every pass play. Maybe we should just make passing illegal or just make it an anything goes type of thing.
This is the Green Bay Packers cope zone.
Lions getting the benefit of the doubt for the first time in 50 years and people are in full on meltdown mode. I love it 😂
the outcome Should not be decided by the refs
We score there we win the game
The wildest part was when LeFlore was flipping out at the refs on the sideline at the end of the game. One minute later, they call an atrocious holding call on the lions during their game winning drive to appease LeFlore (knew it was coming). Most teams would have lost the game right there, but the Lions overcame it like good teams do 🤷♂️
Since when are the Lions considered a good team? They had one good year in past 30 seasons. They will fall as usual.
I saw that official who got bumped by a Packer lineman do a "flop" from that incidental contact. Too funny. In a game where it's best to not notice the refs they were sure VERY noticeable.
Doesn't make a difference. The pass interference rules are a joke. You should not be able to put your hands on a receiver after 5 yards. These players are wrapping there arms around receivers. Doesn't matter if you turn them or not. The push offs on both sides are ridiculous
The refs are gambling
I'm a Packers fan and Watson clearly hit him beyond one yard out. However, Lions should have been called when their guy blocked five yards out.
Well it was Joseph who veered off and ran I to Watson
It could have been pass interference on the defense for running into Watson
Watson ran his route and the Lion moved in his path, not even aware of him.
If you look, Watson even veers right before contact to minimize it.
@@michaellenz1508 You can bump a receiver within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage as long as you're not holding him. It just wasn't offensive pass interference. It's a blatant bull$hit call.
After slow motion, the lion was on the 4 yard line. And it doesn't get worse. The lion player was knocked out of the play, while the packer was only slowed down. If one 1was to be called,it would be on the packers.
Oh please, anyone who watches football knows you could call holding on every play. Officiating will never be an exact science, we need to learn to accept that. 🙄
No one was ever concerned about the refs when it was Detroit getting screwed by the refs each year when we played green bay
As a Packers fan: I'm not upset about the officiating. It might have hurt the Packers, but the Packers have gotten many calls in the past (i.e. no DPI for contact on MVS last year during the Chiefs game, which was much more egregious than either of the calls mentioned in this video).
That being said, I love this analysis. I actually thought the OPI was valid on Watson until you explained it so well, with references! Thank you for this! It's an awesome take, just because it's backed up so well!
They’re crying about a penalty, when at Green Bay they not only penalized Detroits best safety Brian Branch but they ejected the guy at the beginning of the game. Lions had their 3rd string Defense in and gave the Packers plenty of opportunities. Don’t be mad ya couldn’t get the Job done. Hats off to the Lions
Targeting will get you booted every time... he's a dirty, no talent hack.
As a Packer fan, I feel the refs blew it, and it was one sided. But I don't feel like the refs showed any favoritism or intentionally screwed the Packers.
It's football, sometimes you get the breaks and sometimes you don't. Only a real loser would blame the refs or call it rigged.
I'll leave that kind of attitude for teams that never won a Super Bowl.
They need something to make themselves feel better. Blaming the refs is easier than admitting the team just sucked for the last 64 years.
During the Rodgers era Packers were always helped by the refs especially during the 4th quarter with no holding calls and bogus PI (not to mention the infamous face mask) to create the myth of his legendary comebacks. Listen to Packers fans complaining about refs is so hilarious. I am not a Lions fan but guys, give them a break. It's their moment to shine.
They're trying to fix games as best as they can. It's getting more noticeable
When are we going to get some answers. i’m done watching football until they get this fixed. Yes needs to be held accountable for this.
It was set for lions to win Vegas called it
lol
Alot of it is fixed because of all the new gambling
1st.. Watson hit a defensive player not even looking to engage with watson. Literally decleated him.. Then watson proceeds into the endzone area to hit another lions defender. At no point was he ever trying to turn and be open for a pass.. 2nd. La Porta and the linebacker mutually engaged eachother with La Porta turning to potentially receive a pass.. the linebacker doing just as much contact as la Porta.. call it correctly guys.
Interesting that the flags are not thrown against Watson when the penalty occurs but only after Jacobs successfully catches the ball...
Wow, this is the first officiating mistake I've ever seen. 🙄
That one I'm ok with the first one . Love getting clubbed with no flag was beyond measure.
This will only get worse. It’s what happens when you allow online gambling on games should’ve never happened. It’s only going to get worse when there’s hundreds of millions of dollars at steak there’s going to be cheating.
Seems like the packer fans are upset that the lions are a better team the last couple of years .
I'm a Packers fan, and unfortunately, the refs made a poor judgment call. That contact was not a block. They ran into each other, and the call was wrong!
That has nothing to do with it, just one sided officiating. There were 2 obvious illegal head shots not called plus a whole lot of other stuff. Just follow the rules and call things fair, so simple & even with replay they can’t get it right
Bullshit...officiating in close games is horrendous..those that know the game call it what it is.bullshit
If the Packers stop them on the last play they have a opportunity to win the game but they didn't because couldn't...The lions went 4 for 5 on 4th downs I mean stop them & u win the game..
@@mowilliams8511The wrong OPI call on Watson took away a touchdown and the non call on the Lion player, on the last drive, meant you got better field advantage to do that 4th down. That are two key bad calls that seriously impacted the ability for the Packer to win.
If roles were reversed you would be pissed too esp since the loss means GB has no ability to climb to win the division w/the loss. Good for you that what happened gave you an advantage. GB outscored you in the 2nd half. We could have won the game.
they have been calling the pick play all year, your argument holds no water
I detect salt and melted cheese.
I smell Limburger- WHEW!!!
LMAO
You miss the fact that the Packers play imitates the contact with the Lions receiver. That’s why it’s not OPI
So let me get this straight the Lions player runs down the field and pushes the packers player out of the way then turns and catches the pass getting them in position for a field goal. That should have been a penalty pushing the Lions back out of field goal range. Give me a break!!!
IdiotTech
It happened at the 4.5 yard line. That 1.5 yards past the line of scrimmage. It's interference. Full stop.
Sorry, this game became unwatchable, if we accept this kind of level by this guy's officiating...turn the lights off.
How often have calls like this been called on the Lions. Remember the " Calvin Johnson" rule after he caught a pass for a touchdown, and as he layed on the ground he released the ball. Then they called incomplete pass.
Incidental contact. The two came to the same spot innocently. The Packer defender was keying on the Lion receiver and didn't see LaPorta. That was his pursuit trajectory. LaPorta had his head down running an inside hook pattern. You can see he is dragging his plant foot before the contact. The contact is in the process of hooking. Incidental...
Ol skipper the flop queen.
The Lions defender wasn't even looking at Watson, which is why he bit the dust when he bumped Watson's shoulder. On the second play, you can see both Lions receivers, on both sides of the field, targeting and initiating contact with the defenders. Pretty obvious.
They need to start finding out ways to fighting GREED
Crazy how you can see Watson try to get out the way so idk how that’s opi smh, yet they won’t call the push of st brown did, or the hands to the face he did to x
lions a better team right zero wins in a superbowl never win a super bowl
I SAW THE LIONS QUARTERBACK WINK AT AN OFFICIAL AND THEY FLAGGED IT ON THE PACKERS AND THE PACKERS DID NOTHING WRONG
The first play should actually been called a pick not pass interference
Except that Watson had every right to run his route... the incidental and unintentional contact was obvious.
Are these guys blind? You can clearly see contact is past 1 yard of the line of scrimmage.
Wow 3 yards just killed the packers. If they had those yards back they could have beat the LIONS by 50 points.
the ball has to be in the air for it to be considered a PI. And the first played, contact was clearly made at about the 4 yard marker and the Lions defender landed at 5 because of forward motion. and the Packers were trying that at other times in the game as well. You've misunderstood the rules.
Their might be a way to do something about pass interference calls. Give each team a challenge for the pass interference infraction. If they use it in the 1st half they'll get that challenge back in the 2nd half if the call is REVERSED. If you lose the challenge then you have no more challenges left in the 2nd half for PASS INTERFERENCE ONLY. You still keep your regular challenges for each half that you already have.
The call must be made within 1 minute from when New York receives it
My personal opinion is it's not poor officiating it's very good officiating because it's intentional because the games are fixed and there's a lot of money riding on them and that's all there is to it
