Terrible Officiating

I am sooooooooo sick of getting fucked by the refs. It is beyond ridiculous and someone needs to speak up out of Detroit. I want Stafford, CJ, Schwartz, Ford, someone that is worth a damn to call out the NFL and the HORRIBLE officiating we've had. Just let loose on the refs and take the fine. Call it a conspiracy saying the NFL doesn't want the Lions to win, I don't care, just make the NFL look terrible, headline news everyone saying "Did you see what Jim Schwartz said?" Call them out and i GUARANTEE the next time there's a questionable call it goes our way. It's week after week, bad call after bad call and I've had enough. I'm not blaming our record on the refs but just the last game against the Bears we had the lead and then deja vu, Suh gets a 15 yard penalty for SHOVING someone down. The ref that was BEHIND the play made the call. How is he in position to make the call? And that penalty gave Chicago momentum and what do you know they scored on the next play to go up 4. That penalty gave Chicago all the momentum and sucked the life out of us. And then the Dallas game the unbelievably God awful hair pull/facemask/whatever the fuck they called was beyond ridiculous and again Dallas scored right after the penalty and gained all the momentum and never looked back. I can't say whether we would have beat Dallas or Chicago if those penalties weren't called but both of those penalties SHOULD NOT have been called. Those 2 stick out in my mind the most and there are so many more bad calls and it never changes. No "good" teams will get these calls against them the way the Lions do and if there was a call like the one yesterday against Chicago which arguably changed the outcome of the game then I can tell you there would be a lot of talk on ESPN about the officiating. Someone needs to speak up because nothing is changing. Schwartz needs to grow some fucking balls and call out Goodell's ass and let him know there's other teams in the league besides New England, New York, Pittsburgh, Indy, etc.
