Unfortunately,\nthe Green Bay Packers will not be the headline even though they took a\ncommanding early season lead in the NFC North. The referees made this game\nabout them with the amount of bad calls in this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest victim on the night besides Lions fans and\nanyone associated with team was Trey Flowers. He was actually quite diplomatic\nafter the game considering the penalties against him essentially cost Detroit\nthe game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trey Flowers talking postgame about the two penalties against him in the Lions loss\u2755<br><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nQVRu3rwen\">pic.twitter.com\/nQVRu3rwen<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Entirely Sports (@Entirely_Sports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Entirely_Sports\/status\/1184042576183255042?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 15, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-trey-flowers-penalties-were-ridiculous\">The Trey Flowers Penalties Were Ridiculous<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The two calls on Monday Night Football will be talked about for a long time because of the implications they will have in the division race. The Lions are a much improved team and they have been able to keep games close against some of the best teams in <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.offshoresportsbooks.com\/news\/nfl-news-and-notes-coaches-on-the-hot-seat\/\">the NFL<\/a>. Coach Matt Patricia did have a clock management issue in this game but for the most part he&#8217;s done a fantastic job this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He must be particularly upset with how this game played out\nespecially on two calls that were questionable to say the least. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here are the two &quot;hands to the face&quot; penalties called against Lions DE Trey Flowers in the 4th quarter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DETvsGB?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DETvsGB<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fWCFCccJzg\">pic.twitter.com\/fWCFCccJzg<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Kevin Boilard (@247KevinBoilard) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/247KevinBoilard\/status\/1183946800522256384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 15, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Flowers had never been called for this penalty in his career\nand it happens twice in one quarter. Also on the second one, it looks like he&#8217;s\nthe one getting his face mask grabbed. The first penalty happened on a third\ndown play. Rodgers was sacked but instead the phantom penalty gave the Packers first\nand ten. The Packers scored a touchdown three plays later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second penalty happened on third down again. Instead\ngetting the ball back and possibly winning the game, the Packers were able to\neat the clock and get a field goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"officiating-has-been-really-bad-this-season\">Officiating Has Been Really Bad This Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Monday Night Football game is a black eye for the NFL.\nThere have been so many bad calls in games that there are way too many to list\nhere. More than a few have cost a team the game. The amount of roughing the\npasser penalties called every week is out of control. Just unnecessary\nroughness penalties as a whole seems to be called way too often right now in\nthe league. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Jets\nhad so many consecutive penalties called that fans just started a loud chorus\nof boos. All of the penalties are taking away from the natural flow of the\ngame. On top of that, a lot of these penalties are coming in moments where they\nare having a direct impact on the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That leave room for people that feel like the league has an\nagenda with certain teams the room to talk. Anyone looking at that game last\nnight has to feel on some level the Lions were robbed of a fair outcome. They\nmight have still lost in the end but we&#8217;ll never know because the referees on\nMonday Night Football did not give them the chance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Monday Night game between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions was ruined by blown calls as the referees were the talking point.
