Wild Card Weekend 2015: Detroit Lions @ Dallas Cowboys

[Sheik]

I still can't believe I will be on a fricken airplane for that Cowboys/Packers game. I even have a layover in Dallas to add insult to injury.

I think it might be a good time to fake severe flu or maybe even mention Ebola like symptoms at the airport

I'm going to college coaching convention so it's worth going to. If I get through the airport quick enough, I might be watching the end of the game in a bar with the likes of Steve Sarkissian, Mark Richt, and Charlie Strong. Still, wish they would have put the Cowboys game in any of the other 3 time slots.

I agree with all that. Detroit was getting a massage and happy ending from the refs for most of the game. But unfortunately, all anyone will remember is the final moments and Dallas getting ref help. The flag should never have been thrown, it was un-catchable and that's that.

I agree we get the shaft all game by the refs then they make one for us and all the sudden the fix is in...

The last few flights I was on had internet but did not allow for any type of streaming. I will be trying like hell to watch that game on my iPad.

Couple of ballsy 4th down calls by Garret. Going for it the first time on 4th and goal from inside the 1. Detroit stuffed GB in that same scenario last week and held on 4th down. That play was extremely well blocked.

Then the 4th and 6. That was huge. Great pass protection and Witten totally owned his guy.

The coach showed some real confidence in his team to get it done. One via run being physical on the GL and the other on the OL and QB to make the biggest play of the game at that point.

Hats off to him for that, even though I know most here wont agree.

OK, raise your hands if this is you. Before the season who here would EVER believe that in anytime of game situation (let alone a playoff game) that our defense would actually hold up and win a game late. After years of late game failures (including two epic ones against this same team and QB)

We definitely arnt good defensively, but Marinelli and Garrett have to be pretty proud of the way the defense held with the game on the line.

Can't argue with any of this. Gotta give Garrett the props although you know that if either had failed he would be the big goat in all of this.

Redemption, s0n. Redemption.

He's had some tough calls to make here at seasons end and so far he's getting them right. I do like it that he believes in these guys to make plays when it matters.

Are people forgetting that Pettigrew had Hitchens by the facemask? That could have just as well been offensive PI.

Can someone post a video of the Lawrence strip sack? Thanks

Smells like.... Victory.

Beasly is one tough little shit. That hit he took and still got up.

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

People are soooo angry dallas won...it's fucking awesome

When you watch the replays, it almost appears that's how Hitchens ended up contacting Pettigrew anyway. He appeared to be pulling him closer.

Yeah he is a tough SOB....that was a major bigtime hit...cant believe he was able to keep going

it was critical that we scored a TD instead of a game-tying FG, because Detroit had plenty of time to win the game with a FG of their own. in the back of my mind I was fearing a Tony pick in the end zone.

Early weather forecast for Green Bay next Sunday.

Snow showers Saturday night, but Sunday looks decent. Most sunny, temps in the teens to close to 20.

Not bad for January up there.

Yep, needed a TD.

Their kicker has been inconsistent but has a cannon leg. Can easily hit from 55-60 in a dome.

Yeah. But it was clearly a facemask.
