Game Day ***Cowboys vs Lions 1st Half Thread***

[coult44]

I’m shocked at the amount of people picking Dallas and Dallas being favored

Why? It’s been two years since they lost at home?

 

[RonnieT24]

Any news on why we went blue jerseys at home tonight?

 

[Coogiguy03]

This is the least I have ever been excited for a Cowboys game. The refs have absolutely taken over and destroyed the NFL

Add teh buffalo game too!

Dak cannot afford to go 3 and out!!

There are 11 guys out there and a coach calling plays. It’s not up to one player to avoid that. How about Steele cannot afford to be dominated…..lol.

 

[Creeper]

why would Troy question us declining the penalty? The way our D is playing you take whatever you can, sheesh

I was thinking the same thing. 3rd and 20 they get a first down or a TD. I would have declined too. 3 points is a win for this defense they way they are playing lately.

 

[SackMaster]

McCarthy is dumb. You take the penalty

Ya ... no.

At this point, the defense can't force any offense to punt the ball, so if they keep them out of the End Zone, it's a HUGE win. No reason to give them another shot.

JMHO

McCarthy is dumb. You take the penalty

Not even if it's 3rd and 35 do you take the penalty with this D right now

 

[Ken]

Weak not accepting the penalty...handed them 3.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Can you guarantee a stop with worse field position? No. You take holding them to 3.

That’s how bad the defense has been. Cant trust them for stops

 

[Jipper]

Is dak gonna be the guy or not

 

[risco]

I’m glad we got a stop, and I get the bend but don’t break, but you cannot do like last week and let them drive down the field, eating up clock, and kicking FGs again and again. Once in a while you need a stop that flips the field.

True that!!

it's bad luck and a dedication to jimmy

 

[droopdog7]

That was a good decline of penalty. The likelihood of a third down penalty is too high to accept.

Also I wanna see more Micah off the ball. Just how I feel. It’s way too way for them to double him as a pass rusher

You only take it if you think they’re going for it. With Gibbs knee down, it’s an easy decline.

 

[GoldenR]

This D can't sit and watch film throughout the week and continue to have guys run open up and down the field. If they are in a film room they must just be yukkin it up! PERIOD.

 

[Buzzbait]

I missed the beginning. Did Lions receive first?

Yes

 

[nyc-cowboy]

Not really. Making them punt is a stop.

With this D holding them to 3, is considered a "stop"

 

[Jipper]

Weak not accepting the penalty...handed them 3.

The heck you talking about, no guarantee they stop th either

 

[Coogiguy03]

Is dak gonna be the guy or not

3 and out

Why??????

 

[Tabascocat]

You take the penalty. Make it 3 and and 19. If you get a sack they are punting

Or they take it and Dallas gives them a 1st on some penalty. Decline was the only call to make….
