Sunday Afternoon Playoff thread

Submitted by Gobgoblue on

Cincinatti goes to Indy at 1:05 EST today to kick things off, then

the Lions visit the Cowboys at 4:40.

 

As a Lions fan, I don't like our chances.  The boys are rolling right now.

My prediction is the Colts and Cowboys move on.  Hope I'm wrong on the second one.

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!  School doesn't start up again for Mich until Wednesday, so I am sipping on some Sam Adams seasonal beers.  Cheers!

That flag picked up was a deliberate attempt to keep Dallas in the game.  The NFL does this with many of their favorite pet teams (Packers).  If the Lions happen to recover and hold the lead, it's just a matter of another bailout.  The Lions were NEVER going to win this game NO MATTER WHAT.

by the NFL today. The team should protest. Not that a protest would matter. The Lions are given the doormat treatment by the NFL and it is not fair to the fans. Fuck the Cowboys. I know how much the league wants a Cowboys @ Packers matchup next Sunday.

Fixed is right.  I've gotten steamed seeing bad ref calls in college games, just remembered why I don't watch NFL more often.

the asshole cowboy held the jersey of Pettigrew right off the line of scrimmage...what happened when the ball arrived shouldn't even have mattered.  It was defensive holding...automatic first down.     FUCK THE NFL

They have 3 points in the 2nd half. Joe Lombardi's utter mediocrity as an OC is killing the Lions.  It's unfortuate that Caldwell did not hire an experienced OC.

The Cowboys have a great offense. Sooner or later they were going to start moving the ball. It's the Lions offense that has let them down.

for gifting the fudge packer game to Green Bay, and I'll do it again this week. FUCK THE NFL.  Also, why do I have to listen to Aikman do a Dallas game (he sux every game), Millen on PSU, or Speilman on OSU?  Can't they redistribute the homers to other games.

What's sad is that nobody outside of the Detroit metro area will know or care that the game was fixed. Next week the NFL will be happy as they get the Dallas-GB match up they want and the officials will get a nice bonus for a job well done.

ignores the 10 yard punt, the failure of the offense to move the ball, and the defense's inability to get a stop when needed.

Yeah, the Boys got a break, but the Lions got a break with Suh. Oh and Dallas goes to Lambeau next week. Dallas will get theirs.
