That is one hella of a FG kicker.

I give a slight edge to Jake Elliott this year, just because of the elements vs a dome, but Aubrey is damn good.

Are you high on pot?

They've both missed 3 kicks this season. Elliott has a higher degree of difficulty playing in Philly.

Technically I guess, Dicker has been better than both, with only 1 miss all season.

8 weeks ago I thought the NFC had the top 3 teams in football. I'm not so sure anymore.

 

[jon_mx]

Now this is a weird call.

 

[Wingnut]

Lame.

 

[BobbyLayne]

just kick

The Defenses have been outstanding tonight, what makes you post this?
I know it's low scoring but both defenses deserve a lot of credit

 

[dickey moe]

Funny (and by funny I mean pathetic) that these offenses keep making huge plays down the field then can't punch it into the end zone.

 

[Wingnut]

It's my fault Gibbs can't get in the endzone.

I suck at parlays.

Call me crazy, but Cleveland at +3700 is an interesting bet.

 

[BobbyLayne]

good game

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Goff just keeps missing guys on short passes…..

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Funny (and by funny I mean pathetic) that these offenses keep making huge plays down the field then can't punch it into the end zone.

This game feels like it should be 27-23 or something.

Yeah, seems like an awful lot of points left out on the field tonight.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Jameson Williams to the locker room

 

[TheAristocrat]

I'd love to see a Detroit #1 seed.

"The NFC playoffs go through...Detroit?"

High scores doesn’t always equal good games

 

[Ministry of Pain]

good game

One of the most hard hitting defensive dominant games I've watched all season when you factor in the talent both sides at the skill positions
I have not looked at any FF games tonight, just enjoying a purely entertaining late season NFL game with 2 quality teams
I could watch this type of game 15x over the weekend, TDs are overrated

 

[dickey moe]

Nice throw and the catch wasn't bad either.

 

[Down Under]

I bet the Lions wish they had those 3 extra points right about now. Dumb.

 

[Todem]

Have to wonder if that leg injury to Pollard last year permanently took away this guys explosiveness.

Because it's not there anymore and has not been all season. Not special anymore compared to last season.

 

[dickey moe]

Detroit looks like they're getting gassed.

I didn't say anything about defenses. I'm just saying that 8 weeks ago I would have thought the top 3 teams in the league were Philly, Dallas and Niners. I no longer believe that.

 

[TheAristocrat]

I bet the Lions wish they had those 3 extra points right about now. Dumb.

Now they definitely do.

 

[dickey moe]

Have to wonder if that leg injury to Pollard last year permanently took awsy this guys explosiveness.

Because it's not there anymore and has not been all season. Not special anymore compared to last season.

He still has it on passing downs, but I think he's shown he's not an every down back. They need a bruiser next season.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

This feels like a Heavyweight fight, I enjoy "Here We Go!" by Dak when Dallas is on Offense

 

[WaltonGoggins]

Lion defense is Swiss cheese

 

[fred_1_15301]

Agreed but that has nothing to do with my post.

 

[Todem]

Now the Lions need to answer with another big boy drive.

Ground and pound.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Daks made some really great throws tonight

Need Goff to hang one up for grabs now

Yeah....agree.

 

[TheAristocrat]

BREAKING NEWS: Michael Gallup does not have a target tonight.

 

[jon_mx]

Lion defense is Swiss cheese

Dallas has averaged 40 points at home and 7 points was a fluke.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Have to wonder if that leg injury to Pollard last year permanently took away this guys explosiveness.

The oline play this year hasn’t been great

 

[Ministry of Pain]

We are going DEEP tonight, for the Lions to be down in the 4th on the road vs a quality NFL team in Week 17,
Down 17-13 but getting the ball with plenty of them to run their full offense, I would think the coaches for Detroit are doing cartwheels after locking up the Division last weekend

 

[Bankerguy]

Big score there. Nice drive.

Agreed - pass pro has been elite. Run blocking barely better than average.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

23-32 for over 300 yds, 2 TD/Int
But they'll rip him apart if Dallas loses tonight, hardest position in football to maintain and keep everyone happy including JJ

 

[jon_mx]

Jamo in the tent?

 

[Todem]

Well that stunk.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Terrible decision by lions to not run the ball

 

[ChiefD]

Those 6 points you neglected earlier? This is when it matters.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Can Dallas mount a drive and run the clock out?
Feels like the Lions might get the ball one more time

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Dan only counts by 7s

[Zeppelin]

The performance of the Lions offensive line has been very disappointing.

 

[Bankerguy]

Need pass on first down.

 

[dickey moe]

I'm shocked by how much they've forced the passing game tonight.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

The performance of the Lions offensive line has been very disappointing.

Dallas has a good D. Nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Those 6 points you neglected earlier? This is when it matters.

And let's say they even convert one of them and it's 17-16, even if your Defense allows a TD, you still might have a chance down 8 to march down the field
I cannot understand why coaches continue to do this when you could easily cash in.
What analytics or real time situations is this succeeding?

 

[dmac37]

The performance of the Lions offensive line has been very disappointing.

For reals, run blocking not so bad but pass blocking has been horrible
