The debate that erupted online & on sports radio Tuesday was who was most to blame for the Lions losing to the Packers on Monday Night Football?

Was it the referees or was it the Lions fault?

Per 971theticket.radio.com: 

In Mike Valenti's view, the refs didn't drop a touchdown pass, the Lions did; The refs didn't settle for five field goals. The refs didn't only produce 58 yards of offense in the second half.

Don't blame the refs, blame the team.

"If you're not going to start playing better football, you're not going to win more games," Valenti said, adding the team's effort is "not good enough."

Staunch supporters of the Lions took to Twitter and the local airwaves to complain about the tradition of NFL officials making calls against the Lions erroneously.
