Gameday Box and TV/Radio Notes

Dallas Cowboys @ Detroit Lions
Sunday, Dec. 9th, 2007
1:00 PM EST, TV: FOX
Ford Field – Detroit, MI
FOX is broadcasting the game to 40% of the country. You can see the local stations that will broadcast the game, here and see a map, here. On DirecTV Sunday Ticket, the game is on channel 706.
Internet radio, here.
This is an open thread for real-time game chat.
My prediction: Dallas 48 – Detroit 13. Dallas seeks big-time revenge against a team that beat them then disrespected them last year.

Sorry Dunk
You got screwed this week, why the heck is anyone one going to watch OAK vs. any team?
by APerfectStar on Dec 9, 2007 10:45 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I like the way this team
comes off extended time off, in this case ten days. Unlike some teams, they seem to play extremely well. Let's hope that trend continues.
I'm kocking on solid oak as I cautiously predict 38-24.

What's up with the purple shirt Romo?
Did anybody catch that on ESPN? They're also going to talk to our favorite pod-person about his future. Get your popcorn ready.
by Dave Halprin on Dec 9, 2007 10:24 AM CST reply actions 0 recs
I thought the same thing Grizz
My theory is that it's because the last time the Lions faced an opponent in purple, they got hammered. A little psychological warefare.
Gotta be impressed with someone secure enough to wear a purple silk shirt...

Good call dunk
I'm with ya.

I'd be all about purple shirts...

Hmm let's see..
Witten 2 TD's
T.O. 1 TD
Crayton 1 TD
Barber 1 TD
Toss in a TD for either Hurd, or TD Tony. If no TD here then replace with 2 FG's
Dallas 41
Lions 13
Lions lone TD goes to Calvin Johnson who will have a 105 yard game

I'm in jacksonville
so I'm off to a sports bar. The only games I missed this season were the dolphins and Rams but now I don't want to miss anymore. Blog on fellas! Go Cowboys!!

I won't go out on a limb like Grizz
But Kitna will be destroyed on offense. Throw in some fumbles and picks and the Boys should easily hang over 30 pts on the Lions.
I don't see the Lions scoring more than FG's in this one.
Cowboys 38
Lions 12

We get Oakland vs. Greenbay

Stuck with Giants/Eagles
Gonna try to get some kind of internet viewing going at work. Hopefully this works out better than the last time I watched a game at the office (I won't say when, let's just leave it at that).
Because I don't have the stones to be cocky against the lions, I'll say we win 34-28. A W's a W.

Kenny Mayne is the weirdest person on ESPN
but definitely weird....
man, the 'boys are getting a lot of pub from ESPN....
there was the profile on Romo, then they sat down with T.O. this week, there's the Kitna-Newman-James fiasco....
by Tuna Helper on Dec 9, 2007 11:21 AM CST reply actions 0 recs
Is anybody else worried in the least
about this game? I think we should win easily, but I'm still a little nervous about this one. We really need to get a lot of pressure on Kitna. I don't like our secondary against 4 and 5 wide sets.
by groves on Dec 9, 2007 11:23 AM CST reply actions 0 recs
I'm slightly worried
But this team isn't looking past the Lions AT ALL (and especially not after all the trash talk that has taken place this week). But We're flat-out better than the Lions, and should take care of business.
by Nelson on Dec 9, 2007 11:28 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm worried for two reasons
- I always worry. Even against the Jets.
- Weird things happen when we play Detroit.

I Can Give You a Third Reason
This is Dallas' Temple of Doom. We've lost more bizarre, crazy games here (Kingdome and Ford Field) than any other place. Ever.
We're 3-7 there since the Lions moved into the Kingdome.
1981 Lions kick a winning field goal on the last play of the game to win with 12 men on the field; Cowboys protest on the spot, but league cheerfully awards the win to Detroit.
1985 Dallas falls to pieces against mediocre Lions team, committing a slew of turnovers--this is usually how we lose to them. Fumbles and picks galore.
1991 Dallas leads 10-3 and tries a long field goal on the last play of the first half. Lions block it and run it back for a TD, and go on to win 34-10
1991 NFC Div Playoffs: Only Lions playoff victory in the last 50 years, comes against...the Dallas Cowboys, 38-6.
2001, 2002 Detroit wins too weird, low scoring games by 15-10 and 9-7.
The good news is we smashed the Lions the last time we were there, in 2003, and one would think our offense would light up their woeful secondary like a Christmas tree. Their offensive line also does not match up well against our pass rush.
But still, crazy things happen to us when we visit Detroit...

Only ESPN gets TO on, asks him 70 questions about Parcell's, watches him generally deflect them then cuts away and lectures him for not "letting go"
Hilarious.

off-topic, but
The Steelers are going to get BEAT tonight. I hate to say it but that's going to happen. Mr. Smith pretty much sealed the deal with that 'guarantee' of his. The last time a defensive player shot his mouth off before his team met the Patriots? The Redskins got 52 points hung on them.

I don't think this one will be an easy one for the Pats.
I have two very good friends who will be at the game - one is a Steelers fan and one a Pats fan. Hopefully the Pats fan will protect the Steelers fan ;-)

Detroit Has Always Been
one of those teams where if you jump on them early and get a lead, they seem to quit. On the other hand, if they can be competitive early, crowd noise starts to be an issue, and false starts, sacks and turnovers result.

I'll tell ya, Lions came in with great gameplan

Shades of 1981, 1985, 1991, and 1991 (again)
A good Dallas defense gets shredded by a bad Detroit team. No pass rush, no coverage, no run defense.
Good grief. We're going to lose.

our defense is good?

wow
i am stunned.
how can a defense talk this much crap then come out and play flat?
they psyched up the detroit offense then decided not to show up.
pathetic.

Keep Hope Alive!
What's up with all this negativism? Has there not been 12 games this season that has proved to you the capability of our offense and defense and players and coaching staff to adjust and WIN?!!?
As long as we are within 2-3 scores, we are able to score - we have too many weapons.
In the words of your favorite reverend (Jackson)...KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!

we will be ok

that must have been the call
but he sure did lay that shoulder into the receiver

Doesn't matter if Watkins is going for the ball
by Burt D on Dec 9, 2007 1:35 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Surely you're joking
That may have been the most blatant pass interference penalty in the history of football.
by Mike05 on Dec 9, 2007 1:36 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
If they bump with both going to the ball
In the case of Roy Williams he was playing the ball as well. When the defender is playing the ball its almost like he is a receiver.
by Burt D on Dec 9, 2007 1:39 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Burt, just because he's palying the ball
you can't run through a receiver to do it. Watkins was coming forward while CJ was crossing the field and hit him, you can't do that.
by Dave Halprin on Dec 9, 2007 1:41 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I admit the Roy one was close
by Burt D on Dec 9, 2007 1:45 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I did
CJ is going parallel to the line and has the angle for the ball, Watkins comes forward and bumps him. That's PI.
by Dave Halprin on Dec 9, 2007 1:46 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
It looked to me like Watkins was in a better

Also Watkins reaches out his hands for the ball
