Lions Overrated...Dallas Wins.

[JBRockBottom31]

3. Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys: What a difference a year makes. The Lions couldn't win a road game last year (in fact they lost 24 straight). Now, they are 3-0 away from Ford Field. A year ago, Cowboys coach Bill Parcells took owner Jerry Jones' assembled talent and won 10 games and made the playoffs. Now, Parcells is trying to take pressure off his players by saying he's mismanaged the team. Maybe, the Cowboys just aren't talented enough. That appears to be the case, but these are the types of games the old Lions used to lose. Of course, it's a road game, and the Lions always lost road games. But the Lions still don't come in with a lot of offense. They rank last in total offense, averaging just 243.5 yards a game. Like Atlanta, though, the Lions need to improve on moving the chains. They only get 54 offensive plays a game. Teams that rank that low offensely generally are horrible on third down. The Lions are 29th. Last week, though, Joey Harrington had one of his best games. He was 18-of-22 passing and two of his incompletions were throwaways. On third downs, he was six for 10. Still, these are the types of games Parcells win.

I don't know who wrote that (don't care either) but I've already woken up in a cold sweat about 1000 times this week due to images of Lions WR Roy Williams going one-on-one with Newman. Frightening.

The Packers game was set up to be a disaster-- and I think we all felt it! This is "The" game for the Boys that will determine how the rest of the season goes. We still have a chance to get to 4-4 and fight for respectability... things can change very quickly in this league.... that being said if we can't come out and beat a much improved Lions team with our back to the wall @ home... forget it! Stick a fork in us and TRULY start looking towards next year! I'll predict boys only cuz we gotta have it.. and they're riding high!

Dallas can take this one so long as they hold onto the ball and don't go pass-wacky. IMHO, we all know what they need to do. No need to pound it out anymore. They should just run their gameplan. Punch that old gameplan up the gut and let it run wild.

:(Roy has a bum ankle, might help, maybe.

Narcolepsy?More like ominous premonitions.

[Roughneck]

Roy has a bum ankle, might help, maybe.He was able to practice today but is still listed as questionable. I'm not counting him out just yet though. I saw him play through pain too many times while on the 40 to do that.

If he can play through Greg Davis' play-calling then he could play through a torn ACL.

The Lions are getting better fast - and why?

They aren't afraid to play young players and weren't afraid to pick up a few players via FA.

They are a different team than last year as a result - much better.
