Am I the only Fan who thought this game would be a cakewalk?

[CowboysFanSince88]

I mean based on the month of December and how out offense was looking on the road and home combined with the Lions lack of pass rush I assumed we would win by 14 or more. Never did I expect us to fall below 14-0 and trail 20-7 and just glad we was able to come back and get the win.

But watching the Lions last week I saw no pash rush or pass defense which is why I felt today would not be a challenge. Just goes to show that once the postseason starts the records for every team is truly 0-0.

BTW: I refuse to get in a conversation with other fans about how the refs were paid off, we won and I will take it. ON TO LAMBEAU AVE

LOL

Last weeks Lions game did not tel the whole story about their pass rush. Their defense has been very good this year and they ranked 8th in most sacks this season.

 

[tyke1doe]

I had it 45-24 Cowboys.
But hard or easy, we won.

 

[Risen Star]

Romo said after the game that the Lions defense was by far the best he's faced all season.

Yup

I in no way thought it was going to be a cakewalk. Frankly I was prepared for a loss.

It makes sense given his historical strengths and weaknesses. I think Romo would rather play an A- pass rush with an A+ cover unit (Seattle) as opposed to an A+ pass rush regardless of the quality of the other team's secondary.

Our SOS masked some of our weaknesses.

 

[d_dub88]

I had us winning by 10 and coasting through the 4th with a run game.

 

[lane]

i thought we would win comfortably with most of our points coming in the second half.

i was right in that aspect i guess.

but when we were down 14-0 to start the game ...i was like everybody else on here.

it did not look good.

the lions have a very good dc who knows how to dial up exotic packages to get to the qb.

Bulletin board material for Seahags....

 

[Tabascocat]

Nope, knew there was too much positive attention coming our way.

 

[perrykemp]

I thought the Cowboys would win (and they did) and I thought people were really trying hard this week to convince themselves the Lions defense wasn't very good.

I also thought it would be a cake walk and boy was I wrong. I also thought that the Detroit Defense was not as good as their stats suggested, but with the win I will gladly eat my crow.

 

[Ultra Warrior]

No game should ever be viewed as a "Cakewalk", especially a Playoff game.

 

[Jack Burton]

No, I did not think the Lions would be a cakewalk.

Well why didn't they do that last week against a hobbled Aaron Rodgers?

 

[wconn1979]

They dialed up some good blitzes against our O-line. I think it will give the team plenty to work on this week to keep them focused.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

No, I did not think the Lions would be a cakewalk.

Well I did because of Stafford being 0-17 on the road against teams with winning records. But the cakewalk talk is over, now the real challenge is ahead and we will have to bring the A game

 

[DFWJC]

No offense,but I honestly thought that anyone that thought Detroit would be a cakewalk had no clue
I've stated so much in many threads.
