Game Day Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys Postgame

[Creeper]

Giants are about to win of course

Jags chose to go for it on 4th down and about 6 inches on the Giants 20 yard line instead of kicking the FG and taking a 7 point lead. I thought the Jags got a bad spot and had the 1st down on the previous play but the refs shorted them a few inches.

Then the Giants got a PI call I thought was really a bad call. The ball was way overthrown and the defender didn't really impede the receiver who actually leaped too early.

*** off.

It was 6-3 against the Lions until almost the end of the 3rd quarter. The Cowboys were saved by the refs numerous times. The offense looked putrid. This game was won by the defense creating turnovers and field position by the former and the special teams. Just because a team wins doesn’t mean it’s all roses. They should’ve won. EASILY.

Try a steroid cream.

Nice win today Cowboys.

With the skins and pack playing close, who would you rather see win?

Commanders

Coyote ugly.

don't mention Coyote ugly and ball popping in the same sentence please!

 

[AyeAtey]

Balanced attack.

Any win is a nice win,
But we gotta get better QB play to beat the good teams

Totally agree.
I think dak would be so much better if he learned to get rid of the ball faster and practiced accuracy in his short to mid range passes. Maybe that's impossible, idk, I never played QB as a pro.

Looking at the schedule....I legitimately don't see how we could lose any of our remaining games...

If it weren't for the refs and injuries...we're 7-0 rigjt now

WE......DEM!

And everyone knows it

I missed the game living in Maryland. It appears that we had offensive line breakdowns throughout the game. The defense appeared to step it up in the second half. Can someone give me a summary?

Offensive line was not great in pass protection. Pretty good run blocking though. Zeke and Pollard combined for 137 and 2 TDS rushing.

Passing game was very meh, but overall Dak played fine given the fact he really hasn't played a full game since the SF playoff loss. I give his performance 6/10

Defense gave up some yards, but made some huge splash plays forcing 5 turnovers. Diggs and Lewis picks + Sam Williams and Micah Parsons strip sacks to end the game. We lucked out on a Detroit goal line fumble forced by DLaw on the 1 yard line when the score was DAL 10 - DET 6.

Overall thoughts are that this defense is legitimately a top 3 unit. Their play making is unbelievable and they will be the strength of this team. They held the #1 scoring offense to 6 points and their lowest yardage output all season.

Additionally the offense struggled in the first half and had a drive killed by a Noah Brown fumble inside the 5 along with a few drives halted by back to back penalties. They came alive some in the second half, but improvement is still needed. Kellen Moore may have called one of the worst games of his career with at least 4-5 absolute head scratchers.

A win is a win and Dallas s 5-2. Game was closer than the score showed. On to Chicago.

Giants getting all the breaks this year

Ugly win

1st half was ugly but I wouldn't call the 2nd half ugly. We made some adjustments at halftime and played better football on both sides of the ball.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

one thing they can't do is get inside the 5 twice and come away with three points, and waste 60 yard punt returns

They didn't get inside the 5 twice and come away with 3 points.

Brown fumbled at the 6 and Dallas offense has 0 snaps inside the 5 on that drive.

Agree with the 52 yard point return and got 0 points but the offense was inside the 5 multiple times but the one with Brown fumbling was never inside the 5

 

[Risen Star]

Can't wait to read all week about how the QB needs to work off the rust.

Hashtag Fraud.

 

[darthseinfeld]

This was some sloppy mess on both sides of the football. Defnes has nothing to apologize for.....but the offense...sheesh its ugly but the Lions were uglier.

Gotta get better at stopping the run. Might need to look for another corner.......hoping Dak knocked some rust off.

With out pass rush, I am good going with Bland if Lewis is out. Run defense could definitely end up being our achilles

Try a steroid cream.

Try some manners.

I usually miss the early games due to work, but today was a sick day. I enjoyed reading this forum in real time.

 

[Austin 3-16]

This team is all about that big D now. Pause.

 

[darthseinfeld]

There is alot to clean up offensively, but Prescott looked much better than he did in TB

 

[jazzcat22]

At least we know The Trashman still shows up during garbage time. Go Trashman!

Trash post.

 

[Buzzbait]

Not a pretty offensive performance, very sloppy on third and shorts and too many penalties. However it's a win so we'll take it.

The penalties were definitely a problem again.
