Should be a good game. Both teams have similar QBs and the top 2 WRs in the NFL are playing. I think Dez is goint to torch the Lion's secondary. I think it will be a high scoring close game.

31-28 Dallas

Game plan from our braintrust: Dez manned up with Houston, may the best man win.

 

[grandy]

I'll be shocked if Dez has less than 2 TDs and 200 yards.

Bush didn't practice today. Ice over his same knee he hurt.

35-31 Lions

Probably because he ran a route they didn't see on film.

Houston fucked up. Lesson learned. Hope he gets another pick 6 like 2011.

Interesting stat I heard today. Romo is the 3rd highest rated qb of all time. While I agree I view romo as a 10-15 ranked qb similar to stafford....Romo s numbers are much better.

Romo is better than Stafford but Stafford is younger and can get better.

We will win

When the game is on the line Romo chokes, a lot. I'd rather have Stafford any day.

 

[michiganalex]

stafford is better then romo any day of the week and twice on saturday

Detroit 27 Dallas 17

 

[michiganalex]

noticed on the dallas page that a lot of their ppl on the depth chart are Questionable. murray, dez and austin in particular.

 

[kdp80]

Pretty sure their starting rookie safety is out as well, and a ufa is starting in his spot

hmmm maybe we'll throw it further than 10 yards this week and test him.
