Really looking forward to this game. To me....it’s a season changer. Win and we’re knee deep in the hunt for the NFC North.....lose and this season is doomed.

I understand that a pretty dramatic stance for week 4.... but I look at it this way. I am willing to write off weeks 1 and 2 if we show we’ve turned the corner. Last week was a BIG step in doing that. If we show up and beat a so so Dallas team at their house....I’ll buy in. Lose.....and it shows the NE game was the anomaly.

We need the same effort and preparation as last week. Yes, Patricia knows the Pats inside and out and put together a great game plan that the players executed almost flawlessly. Can he do it against a team he doesn’t have 13 experience with?? He better be able to.....won’t last long in the NFL if he can’t.

Heart says 28-17 Lions
Mind says 20-16 Dallas as our piss poor red zone play loses us another game.

First 1pm game of the year!

Not saying the Lions will win, but I like their chances if they can score early. Force Dak to beat you and good things will happen.
 
This game comes down to our pass protection and run defense. A side note, Ansah is a waste of space and money. Should have never tagged him.

Agree on Ansah. He will not be coming back unless he gets healthy fast and produces big numbers.

We might draft 7 front 7 defenders in April....which would be fine with me.
 
Shut the cowboys run game down and the lions will win, can they do that though idk 50/50
 
Go lions .. will have game on but muted because of company coming.

I never understood why we tagged him. We were not going to be contending for a SB. So if he comes back and has a lights out year, we cant afford to pay him and he is gone. Or he comes back and plays like shit or cant stay healthy and he walks at the end of the year.
