the lions have made the playoffs for the first time since 1999. after years of abject futility and mismanagement this is a dangerous although extremely unlikeable squad
The cowboys are mired in a dismal stretch of lack of success in late season and playoffs...what is the difference?
The lions played the chargers with a tremendous amount of desire....players like Bakus who had never played in a playoff game played their butts off
And we look at the past few games where the Cowboys much like other years when there is something on the line, manage to choke it away
Lions management have set about to dispel the culture of losing by creating a bad boys team like the pistons. It seems every game there is some kind of incident that makes you cringe. Witness the scuffle before the Chargers game. Their coach is a world class delta bravo. They have players that delight in stepping over the line like Suh, public opinion be damned.
I am not sure if this attitude is going to ultimately harm them as opposing teams deal out their own justice in the future
BUT....i would give anything to see the Cowboys play the Giants with that kind of intensity, that kind of undeniable want, that hunger.
Garrett has changed the culture to some degree but I think there is still a core of players like Newman that play with fear of failure or maybe fear of success?
I dont know what the answer is but it seems like the Lions have a plan for the future whereas the Cowboys seem not to. The Lions identified building a strong defensive front that can exert pressure that covers up weakness in the secondary. This year they identified and added good tackling linebackers.
What is the identity of the Cowboys defense? It shouldnt be Rob Ryan!
I would hope that someone in Cowboys management has a plan for the defense and carries it out in the upcoming two years or so while Romo is still on top of his game. I think with Demarco Murray, the offense has developed a personality but I am so sick of this defense!!!!!
