Every 3rd down that Dallas doesn't convert, Detroit get a penalty.............HMMMMMMMMMMMMM

The whole game. Plus have you ever seen a flag picked up after it was announced? And dez Bryant ran onto the field when the defense was out there to complain about the call. How the hell is that not unsportsmanlike behavior??! The NFL really wants the cowboys moving on..

I'm sure it happened to the Browns. Heck we lost a game we were winning and the clock read 00:00

Why

Never been more angry about a non Browns game just fucking sickening.

Is Marv done in Cincy? Or is Mike Brown to cheap to fire him?

Glad the Bungles lost. Now the Ratbirds lose and I'll say bye to football until summer.

There's still Green Bay- at least I hope.

How do you pick up that flag . . . ?

Fix- the Lions got robbed on the non-interference . Oh, a meaningless apology will be issued by the League office that they blew that call.

Not only that, I'd swear on the 4th down the Cowboys converted their TE moved before the snap- another no call.

I hope the Pack and Seahawks murder those 2 impostors in the Divisional round.

Lewis makes $4.5 million. He makes less then Jay Gruden in Wash.

words can't describe how fucked up that dallas game was because of that call.

it will leave a bad taste in the mouth of every fan in detroit for years and years.

can't wait to hear the formal explanation on that, if there ever is one.

walter: you got a spin on that?

The NFL doesn't comment on ref calls

if arizona had a competent qb they prob wouldn't even be in the wildcard game.....

ed hochuly sucks donkey dick btw. a retrained retread fuckup ref.

I was at the game at Ed and his crew were laughably bad. So many bad calls on both sides of the ball. It's a shame Arizona was down to their 3rd QB but outside of two stupid turnovers the Panthers should have won by 20+. Say what you will but their defense is solid. I actually think Cam will play better in Seattle too but they have about a 3% to win.

I don't think the players or coaches are in on it but league officials and referees who steer games towards a given outcome. They want Green Bay/Dallas and will favor anything to boost ratings for the big markets or big time QB's.

Hard to disagree after what we saw today.

Then we better get a big time QB, because Cleveland sure isn't a big time market.

No way that the picked up flag has anything to do with the head of officiating being chummy with Jerrah's son, right?

LOL. So now we know why the Browns have been down so long. Repent ye sinners! (if you can remember what the original sin was).

Chris Christie is a Cowboy hugger?

I bet all those Giants fans that voted him into office loved seeing that.

Eh, if the game was heavily rigged the Cowboys would have won another playoff game since 1996 before yesterday. What I don't doubt for a second is that refs are highly encouraged to throw flags more quickly for star players including franchise QB's.
