NFL's Blown Call proves very costly to Lions in Dallas!!!!

The Lions are the latest to feel lack of accountability and responsibility by the NFL. As Everyone already knows and seen, a pass play in the 4th quarter where the Cowboy player was holding and never turned around to see the ball and obstructed the Lion player for even getting to the ball was initially called pass interference only to have the call reversed and the flag picked up. There is no doubt in the minds of those who know and understand football and its rules it was definitely either pass interference or at minimum holding by the defensive player. This was a huge turning point in this game for it should of been a first down for the Lions but instead became 4th down.  The NFL and its officiating people and the referee in the game have repeatedly denied any blown call on the field. There were many missed calls in this game but none bigger than this call. Yet the NFL once again refuses to take responsibility or accountability for its actions.  Roger Goodell and the Director of Officiating should be all over this debacle and make sure it doesn't happen again and one or more disciplined. One thing I do not understand is why was this the first time these officials on the field were together as a unit in such a big game? Which Official after they got together made the decision that this wasn't a penalty and why? This same group threw allot of flags on the Cowboys winning drive against the defense but reversed such an important call for the Lions on such a blatant penalty!  The NFL once again wakes up today with another Black Eye and is slowly becoming the joke of the Pro Sports in America. The image of the game is tarnishing and incidents like this one where the NFL sits backs and does nothing should really start to concern the Owners. But wait, that's right, nothing will happen when the NFL continues to make billions for the Owners even when the game continues to be questioned time and time again. Until an Owner or Owners hold Mr. Goodell and his cronies responsible may change ever occur. The Owners continue to pay Roger Goodell over $40M a year to be their puppet and yet they watch as he slowly is making the game a mockery and the NFL a joke. When will someone wake up and smell the coffee and hold the NFL, Mr Goodell and his cronies responsible and accountable and help restore the NFL to a game that it once was?
