Megatron. Big ups to the guy ahead of me in the draft who picked AJ80.Prince Myshkin
Footballguy
did anybody know that was 4th down? didn't look like the cowboys, lions, or announcers knew it
on that last series.

With no one between him and the yard marker... he just stepped out short to save clock

Really? Did you watch the game? The Lions had very little to do with winning it. You had the advantage of playing Romo in THE most epic choke in Dallas history (seriously, it's a fact).They were pretty much steamrolled.

Buck announced before the snap it was the last play for Dallas, then after the snap forgot what he just said

I never, EVER agree with _mx, but you're out of your gourd. A team doesn't collapse unless another team is there to capitalize. They had help from bad Dallas play, but they won. Saying they got steamrolled is probably the dumbest thing this board will read today.

Exactly my point. Any team would have won this game with Romo playing the way he did. Detroit was the beneficiary, but they won't be able to play against self-destructing QBs very often.I never, EVER agree with _mx, but you're out of your gourd.

They play in the NFC North...Cutler, Mcnabb and Freeman. There is plenty of self destruction in the group.Exactly my point. Any team would have won this game with Romo playing the way he did.

No, not anybody. Did you see how many amazing plays, including the go ahead TD, the Lions made? You gotta have a team that can take advantage of it. It's true that Dallas gave this away, but not a lot of teams could've overcome THAT much of a hole.Exactly my point. Any team would have won this game with Romo playing the way he did.

not that play chief...the last play for the cowboys

No, at the end of the game when Felix ran out of bounds to stop the clock with 4 seconds left so Romo would have a shot at a hail mary... on fifth? down

I'm not suggesting Detroit is a bad team. Not at all. But I'm getting tired of folks comparing them to Green Bay simply because both were 3-0. Now that they'll both be 4-0 it will be ad nauseum. Folks who watched the game know Detroit should not be 4-0, but the drama machine will be churning nonetheless. Detroit looked outmatched today if not for a few ridiculous plays by Romo, and another amazing few plays from Calvin. Not trying to tick anyone off, but that's the way I see it.No, not anybody.

You sound like a Notre Dame football fan. What matters is wins and losses, and the Lions are 4-0. I don't care what should have happened, how it happened, etc. It happened. They are one of the youngest teams in football and will get better as the season goes on and their confidence grows.I'm not suggesting Detroit is a bad team. Not at all.

They are not as good of a team as GB but to suggest they shouldn't be 4-0 is stupid. They made the plays to win when they had to.

It's the insistence that they got steamrolled that's ridiculous, not anything else you just posted. HTH.I'm not suggesting Detroit is a bad team. Not at all.

The Cowboys bring Wade Phillips back as a consultant?

That was a second half meltdown of Minnesota proportions.
The Vikings only lost a 20 point lead.

Let? I don't think the defenders have much of a say in it.

How many wins are they going to have to rattle off for you to be convinced they're a damn good team? Hell, they've only been stacking top 5 picks for the past decade, you had to assume once they got someone just halfway competent running the joint, they'd be a force.ROAR RESTORED!I'm not suggesting Detroit is a bad team.

Twice a year I have an all-day charity event in my neighborhood. Today was that day, so I set my FF lineup at 7 a.m. and had no tv or internet all day.
Zipping through the game now (aleady know the score)while reading this thead.
This highly entertaining thread.
Good stuff, guys.
I'm not sure which posts better; the Is Anyone Else Concerned About Calvin This Week threads, or the Game Over Lions Are Toast from in-game.
I do believe Stafford is a bit like the Hall of Famer who went to his high school. He never loses. Some weeks he might run out of time. But don't ever doubt John Matthew. That kid is something special.
WOW WHAT A TEAM!!!
