wow dan campbell said he even told the officials in the pregame that they were going to do that and decker would be eligible. He insists only decker reported and that is what it looks like on the video. Two lineman cant report obviously and they said 70 reported instead. good lord. the playoffs are set up for the biggest controversies ever....I hope Buffalo is on the positive side of that.

This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.

what was wrong with the formation? The penalty is for illegal touching by an ineligible receiver.

its the opposite of desperate its ridiculously aggressive which is how they played the whole game. they were all out on defense with pressure...every play leaving everyone singled up on the outside. this was detroit saying we are just going for it all night from start to finish. They lost on a Technicality. Its a shame because they made the play to win the game. no idea who declared eligible at the end but that is an awful way for the officials to change the outcome the flag was thrown 2 minutes after the play. if these two play again it would be in detroit, I would like to detroit in that game.

well that penalty is going to have to be explained very clearly.

He is better. That was just a lazy poor throw. that should have been an easy completion if he just puts it out in front of him but it was just bad.

what a terrible throw detroit is the 3 seed.

they just continue to play man to man and bring pressure. free releases off the line and simple catches.

there they are..every home game late Dallas gets tons of penalties that go their way.

that should do it

they are 1 on 1. Detroit is literally gambling on every play that they can get to dak before he can throw the ball and giving them easy completions. teams do not usually do this for 4 quarters.

They are going to do what they always do at home. Just start throwing balls up and getting flags which is going to set up a late score to win. Detroit needs a long 7 minute drive or so where they punch it and take a 7 point lead. I don't think there defense can keep Dallas out of fg range. Sooner or later detroit is going to get burned for being this aggressive on defense. they are singling up everyone outside. living on the edge.

feels like Detroit blew it and will lose this game late now.

that seemed a lot like offensive pi

Detroit has to come out and force a 3 and out and make something positive happen on offense. They wasted terrific field position the whole first half and looked tentative. If I was on the team on a night like tonight I would almost pick a fight to fire up my team and get something going.

yea but they forced the fumble. that is a huge play made by the defense.

they are a lb wrapping up dak in the endzone for a safety from having a shutout at Dallas who averages 40 points at home.

they believe in their defense tonight clearly and inside the 5 they are confident to get a stop i guess but still.. the fg makes sense there. if dallas scores here and gets the ball out of the half and scores the game is over.

I just do not understand. Just keep it a 1 score game. its like they have mentally self destructed for no reason this half.

I just do not understand. Detroit can run the ball. Its like they are outsmarting themselves for no reason.

Detroit is way over thinking this. They need to get big and slam the ball in there over and over. The attempts are what matters right now. Just keep slamming it in there. that last play is all wrong on the road vs a fast defense that makes plays on the perimeter all the time.

He had a simple sack if he just wrapped him up. he tried to throw a shoulder into him for some reason.

They have a history of losing games like tonight. They lost the night they put the "triplets" into the ring of honor, they lost the final game at texas stadium, they lost the first game at at&t stadium. now jimmy johnson is going in their ring of honor and they have to play a team that can match them at the line of scrimmage. If the lions get the running game going early Dallas might get beat by double digits.

Dan Campbell's lions spoiling jimmy johnson's ring of honor night would be wonderful. if the cowboys lose this one they can't keep talking about their winning streak at home. The lions have all the parts to run over dallas. I hope it happens. I think its fun the last time the lions won a playoff game they beat jimmy johnson.

This week 100% feels like a week Josh Allen has to be superman, at least early. I imagine the points are going to come from good defense giving them good field position and then allen spreading the ball around and making big plays. Have to think it took Belichick two seconds to look at the last four games and go oh they are a run first team now....lets take that away. With a lead they should be able to run the ball enough in the second half. I don't expect them to run for a lot of yards this week but I imagine the attempts are still high.
