Maybe. Maybe not.
Players and officials can be bought. That's a fact.
Whether or not it's the case this time will never be known.

Caldwell said the explanation the refs gave him on the picked up PI call wasn't good enough.

I am out of here. Biggest call was the DPI pickup. It was DPI and it was defensive holding as well. Not good. Flying back to Sac tonight.

But had the shoe been on the opther foot the explanation would have suited him just fine.
YAWN..........the bad calls go all around, for every team, in every sport, and have ALWAYS happened.
I agree; bad call. Not a fix.
But that doesn't excuse the bad call. These bogus calls at critical points are not cool.

Ummm, where do you think the league evolved from? The color of the spots behind the scenes have not changed, how would they?
Now you're thinking like a Madison Avenue exec.Not a big conspiracy theorist but it sure makes you wonder. It's big business and who's gonna bring in more $$$ for the NFL? The Lions or America's Team?

Thanks for the link CGI_Ram, I sent them a message as well. If that is how they are going to play games, there is no point in my watching them.
You have the right to believe conspiracy theories but if I had even a faint idea that the NFL might be fixed I wouldn't be watching, personally.
Same here.
First off I hate the new rules implemented that make it virtually impossible to defend the pass. Second I hate that the Rams don't try to take advantage of those rules.
In relationship to the flag that was picked up in the game tonight. The offensive player extended his arm to get separation and then pulled the defensive player into his body to create the contact. I admit they usually call interference on that and I would like to have heard an explanation from the ref regarding the picked up flag.
The defensive player was trailing the play, never turned to look for the ball but did not initiate contact, the ball hit him in the back and fell incomplete. He did not play it well but I do not believe the offensive team should be rewarded for that play.
The Lions had the ball back with enough time and time outs that gave them plenty of time to score and win the game. There were no penalties that stopped that drive, in fact they moved in to Dallas territory. The defense stepped up and closed it out.

Ditto. IF there was a fix in place, I find it hard to believe they would do so in such an obvious occurrence. It would be much easier to call/not call interior line 'stuff' that could have just as much impact, but be much less arguable. Somebody would have had to have serious leverage on me to get me to 'fix' this one.

All due respect here my friend, I hate that logic. If the correct call had been made, the Lions would not have been scrambling with a 2 minute offense. I believe that had they got close to scoring, the ref's would have found a way to call a holding penalty to thwart Detroit. The Ref's, and perhaps the league decided to reward the Cowboys once again. It was truly a shameful moment for the NFL. A stand needs to be taken now, because the next time "America's Team" steamrolls the rules it may hurt our Rams. Oh wait, it already did.
The fix is in!
