Matthew Stafford's wife is at it again.
Kelly Stafford has taken to Instagram to blast the officials for the second time this season after her husband's Lions fell to the Packers, 27-23, in controversial fashion at Ford Field on Thursday. It appeared as though Detroit fended off a furious Green Bay comeback, but the Packers were given one final play with no time remaining after a controversial facemask penalty was called on Devon Taylor.

Aaron Rodgers then hit Richard Rodgers on a 61-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass to seal the game for Green Bay and essentially end Detroit's hopes of keeping its season alive. There were many people to blame for the loss, but in Kelly's mind it was all on the referees.
"At least my brother was here to see us get screwed per the usual," Kelly wrote on Instagram after the game, adding the hashtag "#detroitvseverybody."

This isn't the first time that Kelly has lashed out at the officials. Earlier this season, after the Lions lost to the Seahawks, the quarterback's wife shared a screen shot of a text message exchange she had with her husband on Instagram.
"Tell the league that they can fine u for your cleats if we can fine them for their incompetent refs," Kelly wrote in the text.
While the call could have gone either way as far as a facemask and 15-yard penalty is concerned, there is plenty of blame to go around for this loss.
After the penalty, everyone knew that the Packers were obviously about to try and exercise a Hail Mary, everyone that is except for Lions coach Jim Caldwell. The coach played it as if Green Bay was going to run a lateral play, which helped Rodgers with his 61-yard heave.
Furthermore, any of the players in the end zone who weren't able to simply play defense and swat the ball away were also to blame on the play. The Lions defense also deserves its share of accountability after allowing the Packers to come back from a 20-0 halftime deficit.
At the end of the day, Kelly needs to realize her husband plays for a 4-8 team that let a huge lead slip away and muffed the final play of the game due to poor planning from the head coach.
It's one thing to be frustrated after a loss, but the blame for this one won't entirely fall on the referees.
