Ed Hochuli would have explained it to America. The change after the announcement coupled with no explanation is something I've never seen before.
 
 
Refs tried to pull a Jedi mind trick on the world watching the game.

If, by help, you mean the refs allowed his offensive line to blatantly hold the Lions pass-rushers including by their face-masks, then I agree with you.  Other than that though, he made some big completions.
 
Or the two third downs where the drive would have ended absent ticky-tack penalties?

A recovery there clinches no worse than OT (likely). Game awareness man. Wow.

Can we get a "This is not the pass interference you are looking for" photo?

I've been watching football pretty hardcore since about 1985 and I've never, never, ever, once seen a penalty announced and then overturned.  I know better than to expect it to happen but I think the league office needs to weigh in on this tomorrow.

This weekend is really doing nothing good for the NFL brand.  Not that it matters because we are all watching but these games have been really tough to take in.  Sloppy play, stupid refereeing and mostly lopsided games.

My wife just walked in to that play and says... I thought they would have taught you to just go down when you get that ball

Just like you taught her, amirite?
