I listened on the radio. It seemed like the officials were on strike for much of the game. Both sides took a beating from non-calls and questionable calls. How was that sack not a safety? Anyway, maybe Kirby comes back but what about Branch? TK filed in well as a kickoff and punt returner. He deserves a game ball.
I will always love beating Dallas. Lamb going out of that game helped greatly. Kennedy was inspiring, great job on the straight ahead returns that just grabbed real estate. Jamo, fantastic. O-Line and game plan, first rate. Hutch needs to have a Pro Bowl level last four games, especially against the Rams. Love to see him bounce Stafford off the turf a couple times next weekend. Reed looked awful to me last night, really need him to step up, too.
Big win, and whew. Some of the same concerns remain, and it will still be a challenge to do what needs to be done, probably without Branch and Joseph now. And despite his pressures, we can officially wonder out loud if Hutch is at the level of 45 million-and I am a huge Hutch fan
I think the field goal that was blocked was the only fourth down that fit the profile of times he goes for it. Other than that, they kicked a field goal on fourth and 18, punted on fourth and 8, punted on fourth and 2 from their own 37, kicked a field goal on fourth and 9. None of the touchdown drives had a fourth down. In fact, only one of the five touchdown drives had a third down.
It's funny.... He was never on the 53 man roster because his lack of a special teams role, but it turns out he's the best kick returner on the team for the new rules..... Or maybe Dallas's kick coverage just sucks. I dunno.

I agree and I too am a big hutch fan.
MCDC did NOT go for it on 4th down as I predicted. Even after the Bates blocked FG, not one time.
Likely this is an anomaly however it might well be the road more traveled for the foreseeable future. Just sayin’.

They found Cowboys weaknesses and exploited them.
Lions' offense sputtered some in the early going, but here are the possessions starting with 6:15 left in the first half:
Touchdown
Field goal on the last play of the half
Touchdown
Missed field goal after a 10-play drive
Field goal
Touchdown
Touchdown
Knees to kill the clock
Wow! Great summary of offensive mastery starting two possessions before halftime.
I know Gibbs is the one that got all the scores, but I think Jamo was the best Lions skill player today. His comeback route was excellent.
Has Kennedy finally found his niche on the roster? It's been a long, hard road for this guy, even if he is irascible.

Justin always gets these out right as game ends. He’s our MVP
JR totally nailed the Muhammad add
Looks like The Collective needs to pick the Lions to lose the rest of the way.
Was coming here to post this very thing.
Wow!
Great coverage as usual Justin
