Yeah, it was pretty bad.  This was Dak's first really bad game.  It was nice to see the defense play so well though.  Sean Lee had an amazing game.

A lot of people here in Dallas are already screaming for Romo.   It's insane.

Dak def looked a lot better this week. Hate his only TD pass was called back on a holding penalty.

He had a fantastic game, 32 for 36 is impressive.  Zeke was great too.  This is the 3rd or 4th time they've gone up against the #1 defense or the #1 rushing defense only to knock that team out of their #1 status.  They will definitely get ROY and MVP consideration.  

 

The defense has been playing really well too and they are getting guys back in time for the playoffs.  Detroit should test them though.

Yeah. They both played well. Maybe this will hush the Romo peanut gallery. Gonna be interesting to see how things go down the stretch. 

 

Also, just heard Dak was selected to the Pro Bowl. I'd imagine Zeke was selected as well.

Dude.......Detroit? The lions?? You don't have enough faith in your team if you think the Lions will test them.

I honestly don't think I've watched a lions game all year.  I just thought Stafford was having a really good year, that's mainly what I was referring to.  Our secondary has been pretty good but they are definitely susceptible to big pass plays.

But...it's the lions,and it's stafford. They'll choke it away, don't sweat it.

I'm pretty sure three O linemen were selected too, Frederick, Martin and Smith.

You know the Lions aren't a horrible team and the fact that in the NFL it can be anyone's day or not. For those reasons it's always best to respect your opponent. That doesn't necessarily mean you have less faith in your team.

Duly noted..but it's the lions..you betting on them? They gonna play Cleveland in the super bowl?

For the same reasons I mentioned I do not "bet" on athletes.

Also I would not bet on any group of whiny, sniveling, childish "adults", taking a knee during the national anthem, while being paid more money than a hard working American will make in an entire lifetime.  

 

The Lions are leading their division and have a way better chance of being in the playoff than Cleveland since they were eliminated already from any playoffs.

I agree about the whiny part...but still, money aside, you betting on the lions?

I wouldn't just because I always root for my home team good or bad. Cowboys Texas Rangers Mavericks Stars win or loose

Butler locked it down today

[S. Sass]

It was the Jets so although it is a win it was the J E T S 

[Jrob78]

It looks like New England's road to the SB just got a lot easier.  Derek Carr appears to have broken his leg.

Me too.  It's a better NFL when the Raiders are contending.  Hope it's not as bad as it looks.  He did mouth "it's broken" when he was coming off the field and he couldn't put any weight on it.

[Jrob78]

Broken fibula for Carr.  Marcus Mariota also broke his fibula today and Tyler Lockett broke his leg, probably tibia and fibula.  Tough day for legs.

[Gundog]

How lucky is New England? Probably the only team that could give them a battle in the AFC and the qb breaks his leg. Dang, like Tommy boy doesn't have enough luck.

Sure did look a little iffy in that 1st half tho. Dak had a great game - 3 TDs.

Detroit moved the ball in the first half but couldn't get it going again the 2nd.  Big props to the defense, they had another good game.
