This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Meh, the calls did not decide the game. by ndroman21

There were 10 minutes left when the first one was made. The Lions subsequently gave up a TD on the drive from their own 40.

They made 1 first down on the following drive.

Then they gave up a long drive into FG territory before the 2nd call. The 2nd one obviously iced the game, but the Lion's odds with around 50 seconds left and no timeouts weren't that great anyway.

Besides, after the Fail Mary call with Seattle a few years back, I will feel remorse for nothing.
