Agreed... The Lions bent the fan base over with that one by screwing around with the 4th quarter heroic down to the wire bullcrap.He was down though. You never got screwed. Sucks, but they got it right.

This is the exact way I felt....I've see it happen to much to the Lions for decades....I'm very objective when watching football. I watch tons of football and tell my girlfriend what the flag is before the refs can announce....Whether it be for or against us....She thinks I should be a ref because I'm rarely wrong.I am just sick over this. Still.
I was on the road for the final series and was listening on sirius/xm - the Falcons feed. When Tate scored, they didn't say one word about it being a close play, a close call, being under review, or anything. They said game over, Lions win. Then they started lamenting the penalties against Atlanta on the final drive and moving on from here. I'm going crazy.
Next thing I know, a few minutes later, I hear a ref's voice saying something about a ruling being reversed. I'm thinking it's the next game! I was completely shocked and confused. The inner 10 yr old in me wanted to throw an epic meltdown temper tantrum. Only the Lions could have something like this happen to them. My buddies think I'm being a homer when I say this. They're just unaware of the cumulative history and reality. So I had to learn them. Link after link, clip after clip, of screw job after screw job. It was almost a comical experience.
