Really surprised delay was called there.

I like how this is being setup. Lions good, but Dallas ‘excellent at home’. Both true, and hopefully it’s much like that GB game last year. Play loose, and no one expects you to win! Shock the world! 🤞🏻

I like us in prime time and with a great road record. +6 seems excessive. I’m worried more about letdown, coming off the clinch, than I am the Cowboys.

I imagine we all do, just enjoying the moment and its historical significance! 👍🏻

If the opponent cannot stop the clock, I milk the play clock for all its worth and run x 3 taking out the remaining time, take the tie and the division. If more favorable seeding in playoffs comes with a W, I might cautiously play for the W with the goal of getting in range for a time expiring FG attempt. Lots of unknown there though, depending on how that game has played out...

I'm hoping the same Dallas rush D from Buffalo shows again.

I'm with MC on this one. Yes, 14-0 is worth recognizing, and Dallas is good. Nothing is absolute. Not writing them off also.

Wonder how Slay feels about this? Ha!

Pretty amazing how the guy many have speculated could be the best QB ever, and still is damn good in my opinion, finds himself in that group of 4 😳.

We got a couple breaks there!

What a NY mess! Anticipating all the daily drama over this offseason already. Ugh!

Tater Salad, that took some time and it was clear. I am fine w/fair minded criticism and increasing expectations. All fair points devoid of the wild extremes and hyperbole. 👍

My only explanation is that it is a show. How extreme can the post be, then go farther. There is no reasonable reason to expect otherwise, but I have also heard “you can’t reason with the unreasonable “…evidence above. The ignore function seems to work well.

I’ll take it!

I said in an earlier post somewhere, Philadelphia and SF are the best 2 right now and SF just took a big leap fwd. The Lions are among a large group of next tier teams. I’m expecting every week to be a fight from here on. While 21-0 turning into 33-28 doesn’t feel great, they did enough and l’ll take the W with a smile.

Been fun for a while, time to check out.

And don’t let up!

FWIW, looked like Ragnow was late to snap the ball, everyone was moving before he did.

On the punt we may be splitting hairs. Expecting it vs. 'hey this may be', not being surprised can yield the same result. Was lined up perfectly just a happy accident or did GB lineup in case? I love DC and his boldness, it has served well. Teams are prepping for his boldness, they must be adjusting. On the 'sneak up', that's really my point. We are being taken seriously.

Read/heard two things recently. 1) Suggests Lions are no longer able to surprise their opponent. This is both in what they term as grit and in talent. Over the past year they've lost only 5 games. The honeymoon is over. No sneaking up on anyone anymore. 2) Campbell's bold in-game gambles are also now not a surprise. Game 1 @ KC, 4th and 4 fake punt in own end was 😲. Against GB similar situation, I was even half expecting it. Bottom line, opposition is adapting to what's now a larger data set for Campbell, Johnson and Glenn. Lastly, outside the top and bottom extremes there isn't much separation between NFL teams, "parity" is a real thing. Still have faith and that home playoff game still looks like a legit outcome. Love it! ASIDE...wonder if N.O. takes the ball first if they win the coin flip. Balt. and GB both did it and put us on our heels.

Love seeing Day all worked up

Yes. This is just a message board and by definition this is where we cite our expertise as armchair coaches, myself included. From this seat, I embrace 8-2 and currently the #2 seed. I think evidence supports that our offense is what will carry us in tight games. Is this team strong enough to make a run to a conference championship game. At this point I say yes. Room for improvement ... always. I did not expect this much at this point and we still have 7 weeks to go. Lots will happen between here and there. Still, as lordstanley said earlier, blowouts are welcome.

Yea, that’s a good summary of my opinion. And having only Hutch creating pressure a mobile QB can escape, which means open space to scramble/run and/or db’s needing to cover extended time. Fast QB gonna run and good WR gonna eventually get open. Especially with a guy like Jacob’s and even with a better corner like Sutton.

This... Also if it is 'scheming' someone explain what should be done vs what was done. Things listed above sound more like execution vs scheming, but that's just me. Open to hearing from anyone...

They held Chi to 3 after the opening drive…
