My Son was just introduced to playoff intensity football...

This game is gonna be a defensive slug fest. These teams are hittin hard!

 

[West Philly Patriot]

My best friend is a Cowboys fan, so hoping he's happy drinking tonight and not sad drinking.

I'm hoping Dallas wins but I wonder: Does Stafford want to win more than Romo does?

Now this has the feeling of a playoff game

 

[Archeryaddict12]

Another fumble. Geez these teams are gonna be in ice tub for awhile after this game

 

[Delicate Genius]

I think I'm the only one cheering for the Lions.

 

[Froob]

Cowboys can't lose this game. Romo's legacy can't take that hit lol.

 

[VrabelJr]

Let's go Cowboys! Panthers-Seahawks and Cowboys-Packers next weekend would be awesome.

Totally pulling for the Panthers in that game. It would be an awesome turning of the tables from when the 7-9 Seahawks upset the Saints.

So who will win the Marvin Lewis/Andy Dalton award???

When Stafford is on - he looks as good as Luck - way too erratic normally though.

Dallas D is a lot of smoke and mirrors.

The Lions have walked into camp to feast on some Cowboys.

 

[Delicate Genius]

That was Barry Church who fell down on the touchdown, after saying this week he was going to get revenge on Tate for his hit on Sean Lee a couple years ago. Oops.

Speaking of which, any shot Marvin Lewis gets canned now? 4 straight one and dones 12 seasons 0-6 in the playoffs. Bengals owner must not give a **** at all about winning if he doesn't can him now.

I've just never liked Romo for whatever reason, probably the Manning-level choking. So I'm kinda pulling for the Lions in this one. But I'm cool with either result. I think the Cowboys have a better chance of knocking off the higher seeds, but if the Lions manage to win then it means they are better than we thought.

Or, alternatively, Romo choked again.

I really hope Detroit wins.

#1 Cause i just don't really like Dallas cause the media just ball washes them and Jerry Jones is an a-hole.

and more importantly...

#2 I would rather Seattle draw the tougher match up. Seattle is the team i am most worried about in this tournament and I would rather them not have a 2nd bye week against Carolina.

No disrespect the GB but I just worry about Seattle more.

Yup. Dallas' D is largely a product of Dallas' running game. Sterling Moore is having a hell of a year, though. I'm happy for him.

 

[VrabelJr]

Interesting stat about this game being played in Dallas: Dallas is 8-0 on the road and 4-4 at home.

 

[JMC00]

I would rather them not have a 2nd bye week agai

Carolina plays Seattle tough.

I'm wondering that as well. But who do they replace him with?
