For some reason, there seems to be a lot of former Michigan folks living in Texas. You gotta admit, they are some loyal fans. They have endured decades of disappointment.

They have never even been to a Super Bowl, meaning they have never won an NFL or NFC championship in the Super Bowl era.

Every fan should be able to experience that at least once in their lifetime.......except Washington fans, of course.

If the Cowboys can't make it, and that is the overwhelming probability, I hope the Lions can make their long-suffering fans ecstatic.

I am not being disloyal as a Cowboys fan, just respecting the fans of another team when they deserve it.
I remember rooting for New Orleans when they got to the SB; felt that fan base finally would get something

The Lions are fun to watch. Speed, they all play hard for their coach, Ben Johnson in his bag, Fun, fun, fun.

Hats off to Minnesota for going toe-to-toe with them.

Must be nice to like a team that's culture isn't entitlement and who doesn't surrender at the first sign of adversity.

They are doing everything that Cowboys want to be.

Great run team, excellent passing attack and playing violent....exactly in the image of their Head Coach.

Our team is the exact embodiment of Mike McCarthy......soft and docile
McCarthyv is a Super Bowl winner.

The Cowboys embody Jerry. Not McCarthy.

Again, you’re a week late. Y’all should really pay attention to the bump rule though
I dunna believe the rule applies as today's game disproved your admirable thesis tha the Lions were overrated.
Today the Vikes found out who is not overrated.

Told my brother and law, would be rooting for his lions to get to the SB over the Packers, Egirls, SF or Vikes.

I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. I hope the Cowboys win, and I believe they have a shot. I understand Detroit is a good team, and are coached by a guy everyone seems to like a lot.

But enough with all the love, the stroking by the media, and even some fans here. Detroit has beat The Rams, The Seahawks, and the Cardinals. They got beat up by the Bucs. They are a little above average, but not as good as the top teams in the NFL.
In no way is this team as good as everyone is making them out to be. Chill, GO COWBOYS!!!
They'reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Goodddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!

Yup…..I like watching other games, just watching football in general, I have to find SOME joy in the season knowing in the back of my mind the Cowboys are likely to disappoint due to how the overall team is run……really sucks.

As long as you’re good with it being out back in your pie hole when they “Detroit” it and bow out early in the playoffs. Remind me again how great they are when they are home for round two.
