it is what it is,with no run game we have to keep passing which is easy to defend for a good team who knows we cant run.
I would have liked to see a couple more handoffs to the receivers. Detroit definitely handled our run game, whether we tried to go inside or out. Maybe some RPOs by Dak were in order as well. Point is, if the run game isn't working, we need to be creative with it.

ESPN Scott Van Pelt is butt hurt. He can’t let Go about the 2 point conversion penalty. Even though it was the right call.
well he did pick Lions to win.
Just another ESPN anti Dallas person.
In fairness SVP is pretty neutral although a Commanders fan.

it was the battle of who wanted to lose the most lol. Dan Campbell is crazy just not going for the field goal and tying the game. Anything can happen in overtime.
I agree, but the game meant nothing regarding their season or playoffs. He says he told the offense before the drive that they were going 74 yards and score and going for two.

Hendershot was called for a BS penalty.

The lion player, i think 97 tried to trip Pollard. It should have been 1st and 10 at the 17.
Do you have video of the play? They didn’t show a replay. Lots of missed replays during that game.

Why was the ref running away when they were reporting? Was he trying to clock the play? Is there a time limit to report or a limit to the number of reporting players? Usually when a player reports as eligible, the ref will announce it before the play. It was very awkward.

This gives me bad vibes like that playoff win against the Lions, when we were not called for a penalty then we lost to GB in the no catch.
I was thinking the same thing.

So after review, decker tried reporting but he never got to the ref.. it was on the player
And the Lions committed two other penalties. They didn't get screwed at all. It would have screwed Dallas to not call at least one of the penalties the Lions committed.
