Go Lions!

For a brief 3 hours, Mattola and I are enemies.

Even so, I am managing to resist saying "Beam it up Romo's ass" but my resistance is weakening...

Gooooooooo Lions/Packers/Broncos/Panthers/Colts!

I've got my Detroit Lions mini helmet placed next to the clock over the TV.

Hope the Cowboys put some extra tape on their ankles before the game. Suh's going to be Dancing on the Stars.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Dallas has run two offensive plays and the Lions STILL aren't losing!!!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

7-0 Lions lead!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Holy hell, what a punt. Lions backed up to the 1-inch line.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Lions march 99.5 yards downfield and punch it in for the touchdown!!

Is this what Heaven feels like?

That last TD drive was 14 plays, 7 minutes and 99 yards. I thought the running into the kicker penalty was fishy, but the announcers said that was indeed the right call.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck, quick strike TD puts the Cowboys 7 points behind right before the half.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

20-7 lead. Dallas missed an excellent scoring chance after they picked off a tipped Stafford pass on the opening play of the second half. Lions then drive down the field and put up 3.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Touchdown Dallas. 20-14, Detroit still leads.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

20-17.

Can't...take...much...more...of this...

Well that was quite the turn of events with the flag being picked up followed by the brutal punt. Detroit might as well have just gone for it on 3rd and 1 instead of faking and taking the penalty if they knew the field position would have been almost the same after the punt.

 

[elocomotive]

How do you announce a penalty and THEN pick it up?

I've never heard of that before. OBVIOUS pass interference.

If they though Pettigrew had hands to the face/mask of the defender, it should have been offsetting penalties and replay the down at worst for Detroit.

Man, that is TERRIBLE.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

The non-call was absolute horseshit. Officiating has been terrible for both teams all game long.

 

[elocomotive]

Boo.

 

[pixburgher66]

This is fishy as hell. Beyond the horseshit picking up of a flag, they allowed Dez Bryant to run onto the field, helmet-less, to argue a call on the defense. They've literally given Dallas life again and again. I'd say it's crazy if it weren't the freaking Cowboys.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

FUCK THESE REFS

Dallas's OL was holding on damn near every play near the end of that drive. FUCKING BULLSHIT.
