Former Eagles QB Ron Jaworski said (with a straight face) 'We have a shot if the defense improves a little'. A little means the Cards get 190 on the ground vs 220

I think the soft schedule they had, in the first half of the season was misleading, and when the big games came their defensive shortcomings were exposed, in a big way.
Now lets see if the Chiefs join them, it would be poetic to see both teams, that were in the SB last year, limping into the playoffs...

That's correct.
According to the refs, as well as the rules official who works in the broadcast booth of most NFL games, the Lions lined up illegally on the play.
Also, and anyone can verify this with a quick youtube or twitter search, immediately after the Cowboys INT at about the 2 min warning, on 1st down the Cowboys were called for a 15 yard tripping penalty. Every replay from every angle shows that it was the Lions DE who attempted to trip the RB, and the Cowboys TE who was flagged actually tripped no one. THAT is the blown call in the game which almost cost Dallas the game.
But let's not let the facts get in the way of misplaced anger

Roger Godell suspended the referee crew from officiating the playoffs, today.
For the tripping call on the wrong team, and for not acknowledging #68 who tried to report as eligible. The head ref literally ignored him and ran away from him before the play.
Also, Dan Campbell supposedly talked to the refs before the game making them aware that they may use this package on the goal line.
The crew was just terrible. They seemed to have to huddle and talk about every flag last night.
I'm not against female refs, but that chic ref on that crew always looks lost. She seems intimidating on the field.
Bad look for the nfl.
They need to hire full time refs, make it their sole job, and pay em accordingly. I've been saying this for years.

I don't want to judge all female refs, but from what I have seen whenever 2 refs don't immediately agree on a call, the female ref always acquiesces to the male ref. Every time. Even when replay shows that the female was right.
With that said, female refs in general, have not been a great addition to the NFL
PS ... 42 quarters and counting since a holding call has been made against anyone blocking Parsons

This is absurd at this point. I don't cry fix or anything, so I just want to know why? Is there something about his speed or style that deceives the eye? Or maybe he just doesn't throw and flail his arms like a bitch after a foul.
Also, Fields got roughed up a few times today. No flags in sight. All the kid can do is put his hands in the air and listen to the crowd boo.
Heineke got pushed after a pass, literally a split second after release. He fell over, Bears got flagged.

That Raiders back door was brutal. Indy covering the entire game
