Gotta start fast vs Cowboys

They are notorious the past few years for being great…winning almost all their games when they score first.

However, scoring 2nd, their record is quite abysmal.

They will try to do what GB did to us on Thanksgiving, take the ball, go score. And then play aggressive early to get turnovers…so they can dictate the game with their pass rush and DB playmakers.

Can’t let that happen. Gotta smash them at the line, pound our Dynamic Duo RB and get our playmakers going to move the chains.

We control the game up front early, we have a great shot to win.

Good post.

We absolutely can not let them jump out to a big lead. If they are in a position that their defense can pin their ears back and go after Goff, we are gonna lose big.

I’ve never seen a team like Dallas, who’s home and away stats are so different. I’m not surprised that they are favored by 7. They are that damn good at home. If we can pull this one off, I’m thinking superbowl.

Spot on post.
Need to start fast and then really step up in the third quarter, which is an area the Lions have shown improvement in vs Denver and MN.

So the Lions need to do what they have done the last 2 weeks. Take the ball to start the game and drive right down and put 7 on the board. I can get behind that.

Gotta play fast and violent, every snap.
Establish the run.
Hit Jamo, deep.
Run away with the game.
Take the Refs out of the game. Run the score up so far the Refs have to be blatant.

There is no team in the NFL that I hate more than Dallas.
I want Dallas in ashes when we leave.

I think this is going to be a very close game. Though I still like the Lions chance of pulling it off.

I know the Cowboys are 14 and 1 over the last 2 seasons and 7 and 0 so far this season. Just means they are due for their next lost.

The Lions are 6 and 0 with the starting Oline on the field. The Lions are 4 and 0 in primetime games this season, and guess what this game is? Primetime!

The only thing I am worried about at this time is which uniform will the Lions be wearing?

It’s within the realm of possibilities that after beating Dallas in Dallas, we face them again in Detroit in the 2nd round.

Philly wins the division and loses in the 1st round.
Dallas beat NFC South division winner.

SF would play the team that beat Philly we would face Dallas in the 2nd round.

That’s why beating them soundly this week is so important. It sends a message to all the other NFC teams as well as Dallas themselves.
