The way that I see it

[CoachD]

So the Cowboys are on fire right now and it's the best time of year to be at the top of your game. The Cowboys are going to need to continue their winning ways tonight because it's the biggest game of the year. With a win tonight the Cowboys could run the table win the division and make the playoffs and trust me nobody wants to play this team right now. The Lions will be without one of the best receivers in the league in St. Brown and that will hurt, however, the Lions will have their two really good running backs and that will test a much improved Cowboys' defense. So how do I see this game playing out? Dak and his very good receivers will do their thing but I think it comes down to the Cowboys stopping the run and the way they've shut down running backs after the Williams trade, I just think it will be difficult for the Lions to move the ball consistently on the ground. I like the Cowboys because of the way they've come together after losing their teammate Marshawn Kneeland. Cowboys in a close one.

Agree. This game, IMO, prolly comes down to Overshown and (unfortunately) S play. Hey, maybe Murray will be a factor, as he does have elite speed for a LB.

 

[MarcusRock]

I think the Lions are a better team than people are giving them credit for. They can potentially run us out of the building.

Yup. They are losing some games, granted, but they are not getting slaughtered. And they are fighting for their playoff life.

 

[CCBoy]

There will be real heart in this game.

Dallas will have to limit effect of trick plays.

 

[CWR]

I think the Lions are a better team than people are giving them credit for. They can potentially run us out of the building.

They are significantly hamstrung without ASB and Laporta.

Plus their lack of CBS. They are going to be putting a bunch of 5'9" 190 lb dbs on Pickens and Lamb.

We should be moving up and down the field not allowing their run game the opportunity.

 

[Robster8989]

I'm really impressed at how Shotty and the players bounced back in the 2nd half of that Eagles game and churned out a W. Impressive win against the Chiefs too. We are up against it. A loss and we are likely out at least of wild card contention, and dependent on the Eagles completely melting down to have any hope of the Playoffs.
Tonight is a great test. Basically a Playoff game for both teams. Hostile field.
Let's see what we are made of. The Lions have a lot of injuries.
If we are serious it's time to step up.

I hope you’re finally right Mr., you had to love beating up on the Eagles, and Thanksgiving against the Chiefs

Yeah, but I think we can do the same to them. They didn’t look too good Thanksgiving day.

No fumbles, no dropped footballs, no penalties in the red zone, Cowboys win

 

[Rayman70]

Don't be shocked if they inject st Brown heavily and get him dressed for the game. He will be largely a decoy. Either way, a tough venue and time to need a win.

Mistakes will be made, but let's hope the Lions make more.

 

[kskboys]

Yeah, but I think we can do the same to them. They didn’t look too good Thanksgiving day.

And still only lost by 7.

safety is our achilles heel

when was the last time that happened?

Yeah I'm starting to get that feeling as well. The temptation is 10 days rest, but they cant drop this game either, and are already short handed.

If im the Lions im making every effort to dress him and put him out there in limited spots.

 

[maryquality]

when was the last time that happened?

I can't remember. It's definitely been a while!!

If only Jerry could realize it. I'd trade both our 1sts to trade up to get Caleb Downs. He would mean that much to us next season.

If Dallas struggles with run defense they will get run out of the building. Gibbs is a different animal then what they have faced so far.

who's not giving them credit? nearly everyone has this as a monster game (because the lions are a fantastic team) but the reality is that they're 7-5, are out two of their biggest weapons, line is banged up, and their biggest strength has become what dallas is best at neutralizing. styles make fights, and fortunately things are shaping up in the boys favor.
