(I'm not advocating for dirty play with that point, but for reasonable officiating.)  Last week the refs gave us a gift by calling a late hit against the Panthers on Stafford while he was scrambling, and was in the process of crossing the outside boundary.  The they took it back later in the game with the same type of call going against us.  The stuff that I've seen Detroit doing that I don't like is the extra curricular, stupid stuff, especially after the whistle.  The plays that cross the line while the game's being played at full speed are currently our cost of doing business the way we want, much in the same way that we don't sweat a few neutral zone infractions if it helps us get off the ball quicker all game.  But what I don't like in my team is the tendency to talk/act tough after the fact.  It's pointless and embarrassing. Hope we play each other clean and hard tomorrow, plenty of big hits and no injuries.  And, of course, hope we edge you a the end!</blockquote>
