False. Hockenson tucked ball in and lost as elbow hit, similar to Diggs. Golloday ball was moving before he went to the ground. I actually agreed with that, my issue with that one was the blatant PI on Kenny.
Diggs didn’t drop it, did he? I thought he held on but maybe I missed it. I happen to think the Diggs and Golladay plays were catches, but not the Hockenson one since he never held on.

With Golladay the issue was the ball was moving as he went to the ground, so I can understand at least the argument that he never had complete possession. With Diggs and Hock ones both come down to losing possession as they go to the ground, but the NFL rule now says you don’t need to maintain possession through to the ground, just 2 feet and a move. Tucking the ball is considered a move. Both Diggs and Hock did tuck the ball, so by the rule both should be TD’s. On Diggs the ball comes loose and he re-gains it and Hock it goes out, so it’s more dramatic, but by the rule both made their football move so the process is done.
This all goes to back the rules being so messed up though.
Why? Why would the NFL want Rodgers to succeed? Why would they care? Their franchise is just a median revenue producing team, its not like the NFL gets more money to propel a team in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin, lead by a guy from all accounts is a huge asshole.
Although he makes those funny insurance commercials, right?
Aaron Rodgers is one of the elite QBs'. His name and number produce the 7th largest revenue of all players in the nfl, jerseys, hats, etc. I hate the fucker personally. He was or is dating Danicka, a perfectly hot nut job that would be great to fuck, but I digress. He is a chosen one. link for top 50 nfl players revenues

Not sure thats true...or youre looking at it wrong. GB has a very large fan base, they arent limited to Wisc like Lions fans are mostly limited to MI...or Jax fans to N FL....Then you look at advertising dollars, the real revenue generator for the NFL...what has more appeal to advertisers than teams with large fan bases? Large fan bases means larger viewing audience, which in turn means higher cost on those advertising slots....it really isnt that far-fetched...
Per NFLPenalties.com, Green Bay leads the NFL in “beneficiary yards” this season, which is when a team’s opponent is called for a penalty.
The Packers have accrued 501 yards through penalties.
Detroit, on the other hand, is dead last with 234 yards.
I am going to add to this GB is #1 with 19 1st down by penalty DET is 31st with 6 GB is #1 with 6 PI calls whereas DET is tied for last with ZERO PI calls
It's almost like the NFL is becoming the WWE with scripted winners. I hate to say it, but the playing field for non-elite teams is MUCH harder. Having watched all the Lions games in the last - well ever since Megatron's process of the catch TD in Chicago that got called back. EVER SINCE THEN not one call has helped the Lions win a game EVER! Contrarily, other teams have won on penalties against the Lions over 15 times. I am still steaming OVER that ATLANTA GAME with GOlden TATE SCORING and they ran the clock off...Didn't even put the right amount of time back on the clock so Stafford could sneak it in.
THIS SHIT IS REAL FOLKS! All you guys saying this was a conspiracy, you are wrong! THE KC fumble return for a TD last week? The KC player was down and laterolled a pass? If he's down he cannot pitch it. I watched that shit a million times and it was fumble, but how was the KC player not down with three Lions draped over him?
There is one easy way to fix this and that is to have all this shit reviewed in the booth
But the NFL refuses to do that, only thing I can think of is because they want to manipulate outcomes
Doesn't that just shift the manipulated outcome to someone whose identity is not known or well known to the fans?
It could. I guess they still could play games like they do.
What it would do is remove the human error aspect...oooops, we just make a bad call.
If they still make bad calls it's much more apparent of the booth reviews it. And your right, they still could manipulate calls but it would be much more obvious.

Having an extra guy review everything after the fact will not accomplish anything. However, if you're talking about a "sky judge" that watches everything live and has the power to tell the officials to throw/pick up a flag in real time then I think that is a good start.

I agree, I would at least like to see something closer to what college does than what they do now. Any close play gets a quick review and you move on.
The NFL has lost it's integrity. No longer are games determined by the performance of the players on the field through equal and unbiased officiating. Last year, the NFL wanted a Los Angeles Ram and New England Patriot Superbowl and did not call a game changing penalty (Pass Interference non-call for the Rams) in the closing seconds of the NFC championship.
I feel bad for the Lion's players and me as a fan. I now see no matter how good the Lions are, they will never win a championship because they won't generate the advertising revenue to supercede other more viable teams and satisfy the greed of the NFL. IOW, I have pretty much "lost faith", if you can call it that, in this game. Not sure I will be paying attention to the Lions or the NFL anymore. Take care guys. I will pop in occasionally.

I wish video of all the bad calls from the playoff game in lambeau between the Lions and Packers in 95-95 when they called several Lion receivers OB and they weren't and culminating with Herman Moore catching the game winning catch and being carried OB which was clearly the force out rule that they had in those days because without the defender carying him OB he would have come down in bounds
then you have the game in 2010 when Houston gets called for Pi he had inside position and picked it off and then later in the game Woodson shoves CJ while the ball was in the air and gets a pick 6 on a balll that bounced
and of course 2011 when Titus young makes a great catch for probably the game winning catch but since the Lions had run out of challenges they called him OB which would have been 6 TD passes for Stafford
