NFL Playoffs: Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys - odds, stats, preview and prediction

[SHOWTIME15]

If the Pats lost this way, I would be disgusted. What a travesty.

we did lose a game like this last year - vs. Carolina. that cost us HFA.

 

[Wheelman]

Suh's acting on the podium...pathetic!

 

[letekro]

Without having seen the game or any of these reportedly heinous calls, it looks like the Lions had the ball with 2:30 left and timeouts against a poor defense and couldn't get it done. Nobody's fault but their own.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

NFL is clearly setting up green bay vs. dallas for ratings....there's nothing more to it than this. if you don't believe that certain games in the NFL are fixed, then I would tell you to watch a replay of this one.

you need to watch the very end of the game....detroit had that game won fair and square

Yup, and as I recall everyone was very calm in here.

 

[Deus Irae]

Congratulations to the NFL officials for their big come from behind victory against the Lions tonight!

Oh my god!! Suh crying at his presser. Awww, f u. And the media sucking it up? F u too!!. Suck it up Suh. It hurts huh? Kinda like getting your leg crushed

quite ironic considering YOU believe anything printed in that preposterous,ignorant, disingenuous sig you stick in everyone's face everytime you post

Me saying Sherman isn't a thug vs a billion dollar business being fixed and not a single self serving individual coming forward to collect the reward for whistleblowing in the history of said practice.

Seems legit.

I honestly would've retired it for 2015, but you and Parrothead's comments have only extended Mr. Sherman's stay.

 

[PatsGirl2011]

I'm happy Dallas won; otherwise it would have been a bye week for GB in the divisional round vs. Carolina!

 

[patsfan-1982]

there were a few bad calls but a little better play from Romo at QB and its a blowout win not a come back win I give the pats OL respect for playing much better vs the lions DL and the cowboys did today but one of the reasons for that was Brady getting the ball out Romo needs to take what the defense Is giving him and stop trying to get the home run ball on every play

which proves YOU are only a scumbag troll, as you've proven over and over and over again, week after week month after month all season.

BTW, here's the first of the clips that run directly contrary to YOUR scumbag troll position..

Bad no call or not, it hardly matters. The Lions put up a grand total of 6 points outside the first quarter with zero points in the fourth. They didn't have egregious no calls on every single drive, they just couldn't get it done once the Cowboys D had their number. Bad calls happen to every team and as far as I'm concerned, the Lions offense just didn't execute.

NFL VP of Officiating Dean Blandino is getting grilled on Twitter by fans and media. Remember he was caught leaving Jerry Jones' party bus last August.

Good grief. That's not good. It makes this whole thing smell even more rotten.

This is the first game in a long time that I thought actually deserves an asterisk next to it.

The NFL really needs to fix alot of things.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I'll admit it. If that call went vs the Pats I'd be cracking open the Maker's Mark...

So football is fixed? Why get so worked up over what is essentially wrestling? Why come to a site and post about the nuances of a scripted dance?

Controversial calls don't equal fixed games, delusions aside.

Did someone actually tell Chris Christie he should wear a Fat Albert sweater to this game?

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

Refs gave Dallas the game no question

Bryn Swartz ‏@eaglescentral 15m15 minutes ago
Former NFL ref @RefereeJimD tweeted that he has no idea why the flag was picked up for the Dez play. Also says Dez should have been flagged.

Yea, Bryn Swartz @eaglescentral. He has no dog in the fight. Lol

Man, really wish we had picked DeMarcus Lawrence over Easley....

Could really use that sort of defensive presence on the D-Line at this time of year.....
