Lions or Cowboys?

[KJJ]

You mean you COULDN'T care less KJJ.....think about it brah. But yeah, you're wrong in your post too.

By the way the Lions suck and I could care less what you think.

Nonetheless, this season I’d rather play Minnesota than Detroit.

If week 17 comes down to needing the game against Detroit and we can’t beat them at home, then we don’t deserve to make the playoffs.

The Cowboys have put together a very good team under Mike McCarthy and the win-loss record tells me that the players like playing for him just fine. McCarthy has proven more than Campbell. Detroit hasn't proven anything and despite all the hype, if they have a crappy season, no one would be surprised or even entertain the subject. Must be nice to be considered darlings after achieving nothing in decades while the Cowboys are ridiculed for the same thing, despite having much better success over that span.

Good post…I get your points.
While I have been a lifelong Cowboy fan and will continue to support them I am befuddled by their failure to win big games…they don’t respond when punched in the mouth…how many playoff games, or even big games did the Cowboys come out flat and play uninspired? I put the onus on the coaching staff.
I think MM has had better talent in his career than Dan Campbell; he has had generational QBs in Brett Farve and Aaron Rodgers; Dan Campbell is making his run with Jared Goff; moreover, Dan Campbell has started from scratch and is building a good foundation. I think there is something to be said for that and he is building their mentality in his own image.
I don’t think the Detroit Lions are the darlings of their division…I just think they are an improving team that will be contending for the playoffs sooner rather than later.
One thing Lions do have going for them is that they don’t have a meddling owner

I think the Packers said something like that late last season.

What Campbell is building is yet to be seen. McCarthy has done it before, although he rarely gets credit for it. As quiet as it's kept, Big Mac has churned the Cowboys roster since he got here and the results have actually been steady and good. I hope it continues.

As far as ownership, the Ford family, yes it's a family just like the Joneses, is nothing to brag about. They have ran that team like crap for decades and there's no proof or guarantee that will change.

Just defending my Cowboys. So many have that Anybody But Dallas attitude (not you necessarily).

2016 NFL Draft Dak>Gof>Wentz

Juries out on Wentz

Idk. I’m going to say lions. They have an easy road. That division is trash.

 

[Captain-Crash]

we have a very good team, we just have to hope that the baby dak doesn't choke us out again. Carry the baby dak should be the slogan this year, and don't choke again.

Lions and Cowboys are both really good on paper but Detroit has an easier path imo.

 

[lukin2006]

Lions. They have a hc w power to hire and fire. Plus they can and do hire a new gm when they don’t win. And everyone in their org doesn’t report to the owner (ie, no accountability to the hc).

It’s always been that way in Detroit. Remind me how much success they have had??? I’m curious to know??. How’d they do in the playoffs last season?

 

[Bagman]

With the exception of quarterback and play caller, I completely agree. what they contend for is the next question.

Playcaller ? Are you insane ? The Cowboys playcaller is a Super Bowl winning head coach. How did he all of a sudden become a bad playcaller? Because YOU said so ?

Which franchise gets to NFC Conference game first this Century: Lions or Cowboys?

With the Cowboys resembling more like the Lions than the once dominant franchise, the Lions had a nice 2023 draft.

Cowboys 2nd rd draft picks have been bad the past decade and can't seem to find OL talent unless they use a 1st rd pick. When a franchise relies more on the draft to fill holes than free agency, you see why the Cowboys haven't seen a NFC Conference finals in THREE DECADES.

Some of the 2nd round picks have not been very good. However, there are several years where Dallas has picked well in the 2nd round. Judge for yourself.

	NAME		TEAM	YEAR	ROUND	PICK
	Luke Schoonmaker		Cowboys	2023	2	58
	Sam Williams		Cowboys	2022	2	56
	Kelvin Joseph		Cowboys	2021	2	44
	Trevon Diggs		Cowboys	2020	2	51
	Trysten Hill		Cowboys	2019	2	58
	Connor Williams		Cowboys	2018	2	50
	Chidobe Awuzie		Cowboys	2017	2	60
	Jaylon Smith		Cowboys	2016	2	34
	Randy Gregory		Cowboys	2015	2	60

Let’s just take the last quarter of a century. NFC Championship Appearances:

Lions: 0
Cowboys: 0
Washington: 0

If you want to defend the last 28 years of playoff irrelevancy, be my guest.
