Game Thread: Saturday Night Football: Lions @ Cowboys, 12/30/23, 8:15 ET

[Mebert]

now the tripping call is being questioned which put Dallas at 1st and 25.

those fucking cowboys

lol

I love that instead of going with, yeah we messed that up, the NFL goes with "well sure that was terrible, but the window for being terrible was only open because of how terrible they had been earlier."

That will rebuild faith in officiating for sure.

it's like a weekly flip of a coin

I just watched the whole shmozzle again.

If they don’t announce, which I couldn’t hear, 68 is eligible, how was Dallas supposed to know to cover him? Because I couldn’t hear an announcement and I replayed it three or four times.

And if you watch the play, he kind of pushes off Lawrence a little bit and just runs into the corner the end zone with no one anywhere near him. So aside from it being a fuck up by Dallas, did they know they had to cover him?

68 wasnt announced. 70 was.
which is why all the SportsHoopla about the braindead ref.

Roger. Thus why he was uncovered.

Correct, if the ref got it right no way in hell is Decker that open.

 

[Wazmankg]

Bottom line...they kicked the Lions ass..Im tired of people moving the goal posts when the Cowboys win. Anytime Philly or KC or SF win a close game, it's a "gutty win". With the Cowboys, if they don't win by 20, they played like ass, if they do win by 20, that team was a tin can. Winning is winning

Just be happy that your team got the W. In the game I that watched the Lions had more yards, 1st downs and time of possesssion. What game did you watch?

those fucking cowboys

lol

I re-watched that one as well. The ref had that one wrong by 180°.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

They barely won and didnt earn it. They needed the refs to save their asses even after the Lions played a shitty game and beat them.

Sour grapes. Just win baby

 

[Old Lion]

Sour grapes. Just win baby

Neither team is going to win the conference with the way their coaches manage games. Enjoy the victory but dont get your hopes too high. 3 games in a row for the Cowboys that they got outplayed. And they have no home playoff games most likely unless you get lucky and the Giants beat the Eagles next week.

That was a comment after a Dipshit ripped the Hell out of the Cowboys. It was a good game between two good teams

 

[jarntt]

I would not be happy if I were a Cowboys fan. They got outplayed again and this time at home. Only the Lions Dumbfuckery saved them. This game should have been a 12 point Lions win.

They did?

 

[jarntt]

not by cowboy fans.

Or anyone who understands football and is objective

 

[UK Cowboy]

if they dont win by 20........ yes.

Absolutely. This is two very good teams fighting for playoff position, and the game was awesome. Even with the loss I came away feeling better about the Lions than I did going into it.

It took the Lions a quarter to realize that LaPorta can't block Parsons one on one. Lions adjusted and Cowboys countered by rushing Parsons up the middle and he killed it there.

Lions new blitzing scheme showed it can cover some of the shortcomings of our corners.

Game was awesome. Damn shame the main takeaway at the end has been the officiating.

LOL
I am fucking a boot!

I dont care!

It was a good game, not like one team was killing the other.
Not like the Chiefs raiders game where one team didnt have a completion for 3 quarters but still won.

First off those stats do not show that the Lions outplayed them.

Second and more importantly did you actually watch the game? Stop being such a sore loser homer.Theres no way you can objectively watch that game and say the Lions outplayed them

 

[Rowdy]

It’s just too obvious certain teams always seem to get the better of the calls through out the season than others. Those include girls, philthy, Steelers, ravens, pack, chiefs, pats. If you notice those are all money makers
