Division Champion Detroit Lions vs Cowboys Open Thread

Lewis with the pick! Go Blue? ;)

Go Lions, but good pick Jourdan!!!!

Don't think I've ever seen a clean pick on a screen.  Insane to think that Lewis has gotten even better since he was here.  

I’m really worried Stafford is going to prevent the Lions from winning their 2nd playoff game ever. He would pick this defense apart.

Wow what a break for the Lions

Wow!!!  I've never understood this rule - but I'll take it now!  Bullet, dodged.  Holy hell!!!

Dumbest rule in football.  Glad the Lions benefit.

LaPorta's head isn't in the game tonight...

JFC.  3 and out when your defense needs a break.  But when you fake the punt, we'll take it!

BIGGEST BALLS OF ALL TIME

Again, LaPorta's worst game as a pro so far. Just a bad outing.

Crazy fake punt though. 

Fake punt!!!

It's cookoo time at Jerry World!

What a throw by Reeves-Maybin!

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

Similar to KC game opening nite

ESPN sucks so bad it’s not funny. Glad we had to hear Aikman instead of watching the fake punt. 

I'll cop to it - I was one of the schmucks wondering why Gibbs was drafted.  I was wrong.  Kid is electric!

Kill, kill.  Kill, kill.  After getting stuffed in the backfield you have to wonder what play was being killed.

Let's go fake FG.

Goal line play calling is, umm, not good...

JFC, why do you run a read option on the goal line when your QB can't frickin run.

Or, why do you even have a read option in your playbook?????

I don’t like this call. Goff hasn’t been sharp so far.

Well that was a wet fart way to end a drive that got to the 2 yard line. Campbell should have taken the points. It’s not like they were at the 1.

I mean, Goff hasn't had a second to look downfield all night.  Not sure why you'd give up everything instead of take the FG.  Dumb.  Dumb...

Should've taken the points, what a dumbass call

I know I’m super old and not dialed in to the hipster go for it crowd that dominates new NFL HCs but……

I FUCKING HATE THEY WONT TAKE POINTS.

Mark my words, when this game ends Campbell will wish he had those three points he spit on.

I'm only about 60/40 kick the FG there so I'm not gonna scream my head off but after the fake punt I just want points. They almost went up 14-3 and gave you a gift. You then fake punt, get down to the 3...make it 6-7. Get within 1pt. 

But I liked the run game that drive. Don't get cute, run at them. They can move but they're a bit soft so don't play to their strength. Line up and knock the shit out of them.

Getting points there would have nerfed all the momentum out of the building.  Failing gave it right back to Dallas.  Sometimes, the big balls you have just weigh too much for comfort.  In this game, keeping the score close while keeping Mo is better than getting nothing and giving Mo right back.

Idiotic decision by Campbell, who continues to be a meathead far too often. Don’t get me wrong; I like the guy—but damn. Be aggressive but also be smart. 

Campbell got us here, but isn't the man to get to the next level with his cock-fuck decisions. Take the 3. Dallas gets 7, you're down 2 scores on the road. In Dallas.

Hutch turned the corner at, uhh, about 15 yards.  WTF?

Maybe my lawn needs to be cut, but I'm not a fan of this new trend of using eye black in a long stripe under only one eye.  What's next?  Players pants half-way down their thighs?

I still don’t understand why the clock runs after a penalty. Teams that are ahead could just kill a bunch of time taking delay of games and letting the clock run.

Yea the dam will break and Lions will lose I think. Dallas is hard to beat at home.

Defense is playing far better than I expected but Goff is having one of those occasional games where he’s just a bit off. Missed LaPorta for TD on 4th. Underthrew Jameson. Couple other off throws.

Go Lions. They’ve proved my pessimistic takes wrong all year 

Awful play calling there. The o-line has been awful for most of the half and they run it back-to-back plays. Threw any chance of points out the door (again).

Fucking kidding me...nice wasted possession 

Not sure what happened to the Lions OL - I thought it was one of the league's better units.  Not tonight...
