Lions are gonna lose.

As is usually the case in recent years with the Cowboys on a tight race for the division, the other team just doesn't ever stop winning down the stretch.
2012 - Redskins finish 7-0. Cowboys 0-2
2011 - Giants finish 3-1. Cowboys 1-4
2008 - Eagles finish 4-1. Cowboys 1-3

The Lions are going to have to get a turnover to have any chance it looks like.

While it was a totally different team, go back and check Cowboys and Redskins 2005 and you'll see the same shit.

Look at 2006 with the Eagles, and again, one team finishes hot while we fall apart.

Lions have completed imploded this half.
Yeah, they have lost composure after the first penalties started.

But there are nitpicking shit that they refs are calling now that they weren't doing earlier. I can't say I blame them.

Well, this 4th down play is essentially the game.

Ya, but nitpicky shit doesn't cause their DL to get completely blown off the ball in the run game.

They still have some life, but I haven't seen anything from the Lions in this half to make me believe they're gonna tie this one up.

2006 - Eagles finish 5-0. Cowboys 1-3 (Cowboys get Wild Card, Eagles win NFC East)
2005 - Giants 5-2, Redskins 5-0. Cowboys 2-4 (Giants/Redskins go to playoffs. Cowboys miss)

Their DL is emotionally driven though, wouldn't shock me if they just sat back and relaxed, then the penalties made them lose focus.

Okay...I am thinking about this way too hard. Carry on.
