Detroit Win... "Grassy Knoll"?

[Packer Fan]

Although not all inclusive, http://nflpickwatch.com/ shows most expert picks and Detroit had a 74% pick rate which is REALLY high for an underdog, especially a WINLESS team.

Just wondering if the experts knew something that we didn't. Maybe the NFL didn't want Detroit to go 0-6?

This could all be ridiculous though. The 2008 Lions were winless. Everyone cries about the refs.

They have fan picks on that list. They picked the Lions too.

I would love to see Congress get involved in this. "Trustworthiness in Sports Bill". Federal crime for anybody to influence a game or conspire to influence a collegic or professional game to the benefit of another person or team. This along with a whistleblower/immunity clause.

Are you effing serious?

Give it a rest already, there was no "conspiracy". There were just as many bad/questionable calls made in the Bears favor in this game that dolts like you choose to ignore.

The obvious push into the ball by a bears defender that caused Corey Fuller to touch the punt that gave the bears the football.
The PI phantom call on Calvin Johnson that negated a big play for Detroit.
The same BS call on Josh Bynes earlier in the game
The Alshon J throwing the defender to the ground before making a 50+ yard reception at the five yard line.

Yet some dolts like you want to cherry pick one or two questionable calls that didn't go the Bears way and claim "this is the reason we lost the game" "The refs are out to screw us!"

Bullshit!

The officiating was just plain bad, both ways, deal with it. It's what you get when you have two scrub teams playing each other. That game deserved to go into overtime, and from that point on, the calls were made spot on, and the Bears flat out just lost. Deal with it.
