Will you continue to watch?

Okay. It doesn't excuse incompetence, but to use the mis-spotting of the ball as an excuse saying the Lions got screwed out of anything is ridiculous.

Suck it Lions!

Mike Jones called. He said Dyson was actually two yards short.

cue the "Like the Lions have ever been close to the Super Bowl" comments, and then shake my head in shame.

I see a lot of people saying they won't watch the NFL this season till the real refs are back.

What say you? After my Lions got screwed on a call, and tonight's debacle, I'm thinking about it.

You've always got that perfect 0-16 record to fall back on.

The reality is that bad calls are inevitable in sports... period. Just google 2011 bad nfl calls, or go to youtube, and you will find numerous examples like this one.

NFL admits bad spot gave 49ers five free yards | ProFootballTalk

The NFL has acknowledged that the 49ers’ game-winning drive in the fourth quarter in Detroit on Sunday was aided by the officials spotting the ball at the Lions’ 35-yard line to start the drive, when it should have been spotted at the 40.

The difference this year is that you have numerous people (most who also happen to be union members or sympathetic to union members) who are overtly trying to make this an issue. I have a harder time watching games this year because of having to listen to announcer comments... not because of the refs.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but thought I'd also heard that the refs in the replay booths are the official reps (not temps). If so... shouldn't these "bad calls" have been overturned if they were that bad? Or, perhaps, they also have an agenda in letting the calls stand.

Hell yeah i'll continue to watch. Sometimes it's like a bad car wreck & sometimes you get games like Titans/Lions, Jets/Fish, and Saints/KC all in OT at the same time. You got Belichek putting hands on refs. How could any body not watch?

I find it hard to believe that there is one single NFL fan who will truely stop watching due to that call Monday night.

Moot point now that the regular refs are back, but were they not I wouldn't have watched a single minute of NFL until they were. It was just a terrible product.
