Well, believing in Detroit is hard to do, but I have always thought they had a better shot against Dallas IN Dallas that Green Bay did. We'll see.

All four of Dallas' losses have come at home against top rushing defenses. That's exactly what they'll get with the Lions.

Jerry was smart in building up an offensive line; it removes pretty much all margin for error for Romo and Garrett. If you have a great offensive line you win 8 games, automatically. But Detroit's defensive line reduces that advantage, almost fully. So, you're left with Romo and Garrett without their training wheels...

As much as Dallas is a matchup problem for Seattle, Detroit is a problem for Dallas.

Detroit will beat Dallas.

Two words:
Tony Romo.

If he gets time he'll eviscerate Detroit. I think Detroit can neutralize that OL but then the question is will Stafford step up.

Yep the game depends on how Stafford plays. He should be able to light up Jerruh's kids defense, but it matters on which Stafford shows up.

Offensively, maybe. Defensively, no.

Ruminator · Dec 31, 2014

I'm nearing 50 and have never done a cartwheel, but that may change if Lions beat Cowboys.

rideaducati · Dec 31, 2014

If you're relying on Detroit to win a game you want them to win, you're not going to like the outcome. I hope they win too, but I really don't think they will.

Look, Atlanta already beat Arizona. Buffalo already beat Green Bay. How many more miracles can we expect this season?

Atlanta beating Arizona was about as far from a miracle as you can get.

Seems like Dallas safety Barry Church is going to be looking for Tate in this game.

"That was the dirtiest shot I've ever seen," Church said during his weekly radio show on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. "We were talking about it on the way back from Washington, me and Sean. He was just like, 'Man, I wish I could play so bad in this game just to give a little payback for what he did in Seattle.'

"Obviously he can't play, but we're definitely going to keep our radar out for [Tate] because that was a dirty shot. We're looking forward to seeing him. We'll definitely get him back after that, but it will be within the rules, within the rules."

I'm a wreck, thinking about this stuff, makes my belly hurt.

Dallas are a bunch of "felines". The "Sean Lee treatment" was a clean shot from the front. It wasn't his fault Lee was the dumbass that didn't have his head on a swivel, something they teach you in 8th grade football. The only reason for a fine is "Jerruh" cried his eyes out to his buddy Rog. Ussypays!

It was a clean block...I don't care what anyone says. Lee got KO'ed by a receiver and he's still butthurt about it

Now, maybe, but Atlanta didn't win a single game outside their division with the exception of this one, and at the time, Arizona had only lost to Denver and Seattle. No one saw it coming.

What if he has to hold for a FG?

People in the NET predicted it.
