Oh crap! lol

With legalized gambling, I’m starting to think it’s playing a part in these calls. I can’t believe we live in a world where ridiculous and obvious lies are just going unopposed. We as a society should be flipping out about this.

Seriously, this league has a HUGE officiating problem. Huge. Unreal.

Love to see a blitz. I’m not saying we need to blitz every down, but mixing in blitzes will really help the defensive backfields. This shouldn’t take this long. OMG, this league is screwed.

That’s a safety

Bland pushed St Brown in the back as he was making his break. That is what should be called.

That “fumble” was a line drive into the turf 10 yards downfield. Officiating is a disaster.

Field Turf. We play on a surface that is trending to be hazardous to player health.

I wasn’t following as closely as I would have liked last year so I can’t say for certain. The defense was a disaster and looking at that score I can see why. That game was the start of a 3-2 stretch 😉

Love that Houston got the sack. And there were discussions here about how bad thenCowboy’s defense is. They lost Parsons and still have a better pass rush than the Lions.

I hear you, but when did they give us a chance last year to write them off? We just need to win 15 every year.

I’ve never seen a net that wide open. Ever.

The Cowboys defense has allowed 21.7 points per game since acquiring Quinnen Williams prior to the Nov. 4's trade deadline, a remarkable improvement from the 30.8 PPG the unit allowed from Weeks 1-9, which ranked 31st in the league over that span. Williams presence has elevated Dallas' pass rush, which has notched 8.0 sacks in the last three games since his arrival. The Cowboys have also improved in their rushing defense during the win streak by not allowing any opposing running back to get over the 60-yard mark in that span. source: https://www.nfl.com/news/cowboys-exuding-confidence-after-win-over-chiefs-we-ll-play-anybody-anywhere

No arguments there about needing help. If the Packers or some other annoying team like the 49ers stumble and the Lions back in, great. Anything can happen in the tournament, I guess. I just won’t have a rooting interest in other games based on how it affects the Lions. That ship has sailed for me with the pathetic showing the last few weeks. I hope the Bears win the NFC’s top seed. I like TB too, so maybe they can go on a little run. Rams are my 3rd choice. I guess my respect for Stafford outweighs my dislike of McVay. Although I actually didn’t mind that they lost to Carolina, so maybe I don’t care about them at all?

He was saying we should not want to root for the Bears because the Bears losing to the Packers helps our chances. I was saying I don’t care about that. I want the Bears to win every game not against Detroit. If the Lions win out, great. That would be amazing. But I’m not going to hope that the Bears lose to the Packers. I hate the Packers and respect what the Bears are doing with the players they have.

I don’t care about that. The Lions have played their way into this situation, they need to play their way out. Not rely on others to lose to save them.

I’m not convinced they’ll be the favorite for Dallas. Dallas has a lethal passing offense and a strong interior DL. Will Goff have time and be able to find passing lanes? Can we cover the big 2 receivers long enough to slow them down? This game on paper could be a bad time.

They’ve earned it. I think I’m going to root for them outside of when they play Detroit.

On fourth-down decisions, unpredictability matters

Imagine he noped out after seeing that IOL is not the only issue with this team. It might not even be the biggest issue. I do not believe he has a grade 3 hamstring tear.

Ben, wtf dude? He has Schwartz written all over him. Absolutely amazing coordinator, too emotional for head coach.

Calm down, you aren’t a professional. You are on a message board like the rest of us.

I think the coaches are being stupid playing crappy players like Raymond and Kennedy over him and it’s indicative of a bigger issue. We hoard draft picks like they are prized possessions because the players we draft will help us win but then after spending all that draft capital we don’t even play the player. I like the fact that he caught a TD on 2 targets is some sort of vindication.

The Packes have a good defense. Why? Is it the DB’s? Nope. It’s the pass rush and LBs. We have the linebackers. We do not have the pass rush. I think we are multiple players away from having a good pass rush. Maybe with some zone blitzes mixed in we could loosen up the pass protections. Who knows? We are married to playing man to man and hoping for the opponent to make mistakes instead of just making plays ourselves.

Did you read the posts? He has been out snapped by Raymond all year. I am judging him based off not being better than Raymond. That’s a big deal, Raymond is not a very talented receiver. Maybe he will be used more next year! I can’t wait for next year to talk about all the players on the roster that will be valuable the year after.
