Yes, not just the Cowboys but the league, and Refs also.........this was a revenge game.

Mailbag: Did Lions try to embarrass Cowboys?​

Oct 16, 2024 at 08:51 AM
Karma got them immediately with the injury to their nest defensive player but what goes around comes around. If I were Jerry I'd never forget it. I'd even put it in my will that every time we play Detroit we try to run it up.

They know they got screwed last year, so were turning their own screws this time around.

Yes....mostly trolling with the trick plays though
Kind of silly, IMO. But whatever
But they didn't get screwed, the Cowboys did on a tripping call against us when it happened to us.
That tackle eligible play should have never happened because the game would have been over.

Yea .........their intent was pretty obvious
Petty if you ask me but they earned the right.......

This is about stupid. The Lions did not run up the score on us or try to embarrass us. How do people come up w/ this crapp?

The Cowboys embarrassed themselves; they don’t really need any help with this…
I believe the Lions did what all good teams do…play hard for 60 minutes and don’t take your foot off your opponents neck.

Some are actually upset about it. Talk about deflecting! Cowboys have no one to blame but themselves.
This wasn't Brady throwing TD passes w/ a 50 point lead w/ under 2 minutes left. That is running up the score.

I didn't notice the Lions doing that at all.

If ur talking about the Cowboys players, I don't think so.

They know the Cowboys players won't be embarrassed by losing 50-3. They still got their paycheck, so they're chilling. Jerry's still making life cushy for them, so the score is just numbers on a board to the Dallas players.

Were they trying to embarrass us fans? They couldn't care less about us.

What do yall expect the Lions to do...start taking a knee at halftime? They have to keep on playing, and unless the other team stops them, which we didn't, the score will just keep going up and up. Short of punting on 1st down, their inflated score was about Dallas being soft and bowing down, not about them trying to embarrass us. They probably thought our effort was funny though.

Yes. Well- it was too easy to run any normal play in any down/distance sutuation, so why not push the envelope some?

It's not like our Offense would be capitalizing on stupidity OR arrogance.

Sunday was like being dropped off @ school as a 9 year old in 1980 dressed in Aquaman Underoos bottoms only:

Humiliating.

Whatever issues they have with us, they need to take it up with the refs. They're mad about last year's game and then the playoff game in 2015 or 2016. Okay that was 100% on the refs.

Lol a weak response. If you don't like what they're doing, then stop it
We couldn't stop it. That's like beating up an 82-year-old man and telling him "look, if you don't want me to keep hitting you then stop it." At some point you draw the line. Dan Campbell is a meathead with no class.

The Cowboys players are never embarrassed. They checked to see if their game checks cashed and they were straight.

Bro, they had OL running WR routes in the 4th. Come on.
That doesn't make any sense. It's common for players to play at different positions. Parsons lined up at Center in the 21 season opener. Is that running up the score?

What was the score? If it was a close game then no.
