Game Day ***Cowboys vs Lions Post Game thread***

[gimmesix]

If the shoe were on the other foot this place would have 20 pages of "we got screwed again" threads. But since it went our way no one is allowed to question it?

I don't see a problem with anyone questioning it, but it is an easy one to explain why it is a foul. When we talk about holding Parsons that can be a little more subjective, so we have endless debates about it.

 

[HungryLion]

Overly aggressive for sure. Almost cost them.

Dan Campbell said 70 and 68 reported and can't have two people report. So 70 was the one thst was deemed to have reported.

so he admits we didn't get a gift, good

 

[Jake]

I can only surmise Mike wanted to get another first down and run out the clock. Obviously, there was a risk to that and it afforded Detroit more time.

 

[Rayman70]

He let his emotion take over. Tried to force that crap in. Second time I understand. Third time?

Bingo

 

[Davidlee1973]

He is definitely not his daddy. His daddy did have Byner, Okeye, and LT. Pollard is not a number 1 but still the one has regressed in run blocking and BS has to go.

 

[Carson]

Over aggressive at the wrong times.

Blame Hendershot as well

 

[rambo2]

Please explain why

Inability to run the ball throughout the game. They should have run it on 2nd down.

 

[Beaker42]

Seems rational.

How many clock management gaffes by this buffet-busting buffoon are we going to ignore???

 

[CowboysDrew]

Detroit fans are pissed at Dan I promise. Gritty game requires risk sometimes to gain an edge. Both coaches did that and we survived. We learned as a team tonight that we can go to to toe against a good team which was physical, and get a win. We learned how to win a close game. Remember this game and how we won after we make a playoff run. These type of wins matter a lot in late December. That's why Dan was so pissed. He knows it. He took a risk and failed. That's coaching.

You play on the riverboat don't get pissed if snake eyes gets rolled.

 

[Havic]

KM level stuff

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

He doesn't trust our running game?

 

[BigD5]

Hendershot has proven to be a problem game after game.

Again, hendershot didn’t trip anybody

The lions DE tries to trip Pollard. And the official throws the flag on Dallas

 

[gimmesix]

Yes, period, end of discussion. Not sure why it's being debated. Refs were better tonight.

I thought it was fairly evenly called. I agree with the announcers that they could have called an illegal contact on Lewis on one play, but there are a few other penalties they could have called as well. They chose not to be ticky-tack about it, and I like that.

 

[TheHerd]

Please explain why

Especially after running up the middle so many times during the game

 

[Tabascocat]

Wrong person to blame…..

 

[Rockport]

Where’d the haters run off to? Yessss!!!!!!

 

[Buzzbait]

they got to change that rule its so stupid

Totally agree, that fumble through the endzone is truly an extremely stupid rule. Can't believe they haven't changed that ridiculous rule.

 

[Playmaker3128]

Run it three times your kicker hasn’t missed this year. Goff has 1 min no timeouts

 

[JBS]

Being the clock manager and the play caller aren’t the same , guy …try again
