Glad I didn’t have to correct this to seven.

Goff needs to make that throw though. The receiver fell down after the ball was out so not like it’s pitch and catch, but the ball wasn’t catchable as it was thrown.

Throw it a bit more to the inside and it's an easy TD. Goff was under pressure though, he got knocked down.

Seemed like Goff had the clock is in mind and threw it early and safe for atleast a FG.  Id love to see a full field angle for the timing of when he actually let go of the ball.

It seemed like he expected Teslaa to run the the sideline and Teslaa kept it straight. I think it was more miscommunication than a bad throw.

Can’t let up. Dallas is too explosive.

Thanks for finding that as its what I needed to see.  Cant really blame Goff for protecting the FG.

[Adullin]

Nice interception 

[holygoat]

So we get the ball to open both halves. Nice.

[MichiganCardinal]

Jamo being cute in the red zone cost us two or three yards there.

[TP_Fan]

What an absolute awesome way to start the 2nd half. 

[number20]

I like 27-9. Let's make this a blowout

I am not drinking the koolaid any longer this season. My optimism for this season is pretty much gone at this point and this team simply doesn't pass the eye test. There are a number of factors that have me down.

The biggest is just their subpar play overall and the loss of their core identity. This team controlled the line of scrimmage on offense and everything else flowed through that. Their ability to run the ball, grind opposing teams down, open up the passing game with play-action, control the clock, dictate the pace of play is all largely gone thanks to a weakened offensive line and injuries. Combine that with a lack of creativity in their offensive playcalling and you've seen this explosive offense take a step back this season.

They also have other factors working against them too. For one, a defense that can't seem to get a stop when they need it. Their defense lacks getting any type of pressure on opposing QBs and they are allowing opposing QBs to have all day in the pocket, with plays developing downfield. I've also felt let down by some questionable decision making by Dan Campbell when deciding whether or not to go for it, take a FG, or punt it away. On top of all that, injuries have yet again become a factor for this team at multiple positions. This all has me feeling down and out about the Lions right now.

I think tonight specifically, they lack the defense to stop the best passing offense in the league. They couldn't stop Jameis Winston and a crew of backup WRs as he threw for over 350 yards and 2 TDs. He got almost zero pressure all day in the pocket. If that's what Jameis can do, I shutter to think about what Dak, Lamb, and Pickens will do to us given how well they've been playing this season. I think we lost by 10 tonight with a score that is something like Cowboys 34-Lions 24. With that, I think our hope for the playoffs ends.

Like I said above, Lions in a blowout all day.

Goff felt bad about missing TeSlaa to end the 1st half, so he hooked him up to open the 2nd.

[TP_Fan]

Reed been getting cooked. 

[sagnam]

That’s was DPI on Reed.

[TP_Fan]

Reed man, get him off the field. 

[MichiganCardinal]

That’s a bad call. Had zero impact.

[sagnam]

That’s the Tua concussion. He had the fencer pose thing going on.
