Neither the Detroit Lions fan base nor the team wants to see referee Brad Allen or his crew this year or any other year.
Both the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions were on the receiving end of questionable calls by referee Brad Allen and his crew.
As a result of what happened on Saturday, Allen’s crew is going to be downgraded, with some of the referees from the Week 17 game not participating in the postseason, according to an ESPN report.
That is welcome news to the Detroit Lions who will have at least one home playoff game this year after they won the NFC North.
One stat shows that the Detroit Lions are 0-6 in games officiated by Brad Allen and that they have penalized more than their opponents.
That is quite noteworthy and disturbing.

The Lions appeared to have a go-ahead 2-point conversion in the game’s final minute Saturday when quarterback Jared Goff hit tackler Taylor Decker in the end zone for what would have been a 21-20 lead.
However, officials threw multiple flags on the play, penalizing Decker as an ineligible receiver and tackle Dan Skipper for an illegal formation. Video shows that Decker, Skipper and tackle Penei Sewell all approached Allen before the fateful overturned 2-point conversion.
The Lions were screwed.
