Last time we beat the Cowboys was that Thanksgiving game I think, with the powder blue uniforms. Iirc Luke had back to back int's...one of which was a pick 6 that ended with a Romo stiff arm lol. 

If I'm Dave, I'm starting Dowdle for sure this week!

We beat them in the 2018 opener iirc.

Refs will be in their pocket. Always have to account for that.

They are 20th in rush defense. They currently have the worst pass defense in the league. I mean I want to say even Bryce could at least put up 250 or more passing yards given that but man he looked BAD when the pocket collapsed against Miami and they had the 20th pass defense. Just can't expect to consistently get clean pockets like that in this league even with the better OL's.

I'd say with this being a home game hopefully our guys will be motivated regardless. We certainly seem to play much better at home. We'll see.

If we don’t get down multiple scores in the first half we have a chance. Gotta run the ball with Rico and Chuba if available, keep the ball out of Dak’s hands since he’s been pretty good lately. I feel like Dallas probably wins but we can keep it respectable.

BY loves handicapping the opposition

Panthers have needed some sort of unusual occurrence to happen to find a win

so if Dak has a once in a career type implosion or Renfrow randomly goes for 175 and 3TDs off Renfrow routes…..then maybe we can win.  Lining up in a relatively normal game of football and winning doesn’t seem to be something we can really do.   We have largely been dominated outside of weirdness happening

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
