Riddick Slay and Swanson most likely out per Rotoworld.

 

[UMRules06]

From Michael Rothstein:

Lions inactives: C Travis Swanson, RB Theo Riddick, CB Darius Slay, QB Jake Rudock, OT Cornelius Lucas, DT Khyri Thornton, RB Joique Bell. This means the Lions will go with only Dwayne Washington and Zach Zenner as running backs. Golden Tate in an emergency.

Haven't seen a lineman get concussed for that long before...

Yep, this the 3rd consecutive week?

I'm holding out hope Tony Romo plays at some point today. He'll try to be like "Heya there fellas remember me?" and throw INTs for days.

 

[tigermud]

I'm thinking cowboys jump out to a big lead start resting guys, lions battle back and win on a last second 50+ yard FG

 

[kdp1980]

I just hope we can contain Elliot. Nervous already...

 

[inkfreq]

I am not excited... I hope our Leos make a fool out of me early.

Playoffs or bust

 

[mhughes0021]

We have everything to play for...they have nothing to play for. We lose that kind of game then we deserve to sit at home for all of the playoffs.

Offense it's time to deliver 27+ points lol!!!!!!

 

[mhughes0021]

Offense it's time to deliver 27+ points lol!!!!!!

they score 30 or more at home....27 points is a loss

 

[biggunsbob]

Thought this game would never start lol..

I don't see us winning today (even if Dallas ends up giving limited snaps to starters) because I don't see the Lions treating this like a must win game. They know it all comes down to next week. Win against GB and you finally win the division and you get a home playoff game. Hopefully I'm wrong and we play Dallas well again. I think their O-Line is too much for us. Stafford needs to have a huge day.

 

[mhughes0021]

you angle it to that side and then theres no one there to make a tackle? nice start....

 

[cheeno]

We're already blowing it

 

[nsonnett14]

Lets do this boys !!!!!

 

[biggunsbob]

Have to rush more then 4.
