D82 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Dallas looks to rebound against Detroit after a two game losing streak. Dallas needs a win to keep their shot at a #2 seed alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
textaz03 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Injury Report for Thursday. T-Rex is questionable and Big Hank and Dowdle are out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiller Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Well Dallas was able to contain the run to a point against Miami (last drive not so much). Can this trend continue against a better rushing team in Detroit. I have not watched Detroit this year at all. I think defensively it will be another game of forcing very few punts again. I have faith our O can score though and score a lot. Not having Dowdle is an issue as he has been an important part of our run game. Will the refs call a holding call for Parsons in a blow out win just to appease the crowd. The excuses I hear for it are mind boggling considering the number of holding calls we’ve got against us and how ticky tack some of them have been. The one against Smith that cost us dearly in the red zone was IMO totally bogus for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These dumbass players making Millions of dollars know that in Texas, marijuana is still illegal, yet they continue to want to smoke, the stupidly is absurd. besides, this cut is no loss, it’s not like Evan’s has contributed anything this season and we were thin at LB, should have been easy for him to stake a claim.

WizardHawk Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Sounds like The Deuce is going to see some action vs Detroit. Tyron is questionable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is, will they use him th right way? You don't run a 5-6, 175 lb guy into a bunch of 310 lb Dlinemen. You should isolate him 1 on 1 against a LB or DB in space and let him use his quickness to beat the coverage and get a lot of YAC. We will see.

quiller Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) I unfortunately will not be watching most 1st half live being at work. Which has worked well to a point so far. Hopefully all the little things that went against us at Buffalo and Miami will go our way. I just worry the pressure to win is such that it causes our roll players too try too hard and the discipline problems we see on the road show up at home Edited December 30, 2023 by quiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardHawk Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) I have a nasty feeling a collapse is in the works for Dallas. They’ve been exceedingly good at home, but the wheels are coming off at some point. I’m not particularly liking this matchup. I see a heavy dose of Gibbs/Montgomery coming and Detroit’s OL working over Dallas. Closet Lions fan thinks … Detroit 27 Dallas 21 Edited December 30, 2023 by WizardHawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need Philly to drop 1 game in the next two to have any shot at the #2 seed. 2. That ALSO means we have to win today and next week. 3. If we win today, we are still at the mercy of the Iggles schedule. AND,we are doing them a favor in pursuit of the 2 seed as they need DET to drop one of two. 4. With all of that said, a win today only helps us in an academic sense as we still need Philly to lose. Given the possibility that they DO not lose, a win today helps their cause. So it comes to this: Dallas wins and we help Philly, as long as they win out. Dallas loses and we just made Phillys job that much more difficult. I have been of the mindset that we are pretty much committed to the 5 seed anyway, so im not sweating this too much. But I do think we are the more talented team, we're at home and I think we win: Dallas 31 Detroit 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt79511 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I think I have less feel for this game than just about any prior to it. It kind of reminds me of the Chargers game, in that I think these are well-matched teams at similar stages of the team development cycle. Could absolutely see it going either way. I will say the offense needs to step it up here as I don't really trust the defense to have a lights out performance with how they've looked lately.

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Lion’s resume is definitely less impressive to this point than ours. And they just recently got their butts kicked by the Bears. I expect we win this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiller Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I did not realize Det has edge over Philly for 2 seed. That would be nice but as I see things we win out are still 5 then win v TB and it’s on to SF. Thus I really don’t see helping Philly helping us in playoffs much. Though it might I guess if Seattle can some how win a road playoff game so we avoid going to SF. But so we really want a road game at Detroit after losing to them. Just like last year we would have faced Philly over SF if Minny didn’t lose to Giants. And then odds are great we them would have seen SF in championship. we are the better team and at home should win by two scores but man it is any given.
