Pay particular attention to your road schedule, and the fact that you need to play the only remaining undefeated team in the league. Twice.

Then consider we have two tough games ahead (Saints at home, 49ers on the road), and that the remainder is filled out with the dregs of the NFL and the chumps we already beat. Oh, and we only have 3 road games left.

I'll grant you that our offense looked like shit tonight. Good thing our defense can win games as well.

Not so great, but then again, the Skins were playing one of the league's best teams.

I didn't expect a win, but the lead surprised me. And blowing the lead surprised me.

I was more expecting being behind the entire game and a blowout early, not a late blowout after getting a two score lead.

If a team causes 5 turnovers, there's no reason it should have come down to a sucker play. Calvin Johnson made Dallas' secondary look like a bunch of midgets. That dude is ridiculous.

In all seriousness, it sucks when your team loses. But I'd rather lose like the Skins did, than to lose like that on what amounts to the old schoolyard "You're shoe is untied" trick. That is Homer Simpsons DOH! You can't deny that.

It wasn't even that they went all the way down the field, I have seen that, but Dallas should have seen that trick coming. When Detroit got to the 1 didn't Dallas have time outs left?

Now not saying if they had called a time out, it would have stopped them but dude if you have a time out...........

That is like falling for a fake extra point or flee flicker.

I am laughing because I hate Dallas, but as a fan, I do understand that kind of loss myself, we've had them too.

It is like a family member farting at the Thanksgiving table.

Dallas' defense deserves a lot of credit for keeping them not only IN the game, but ahead for much of it - because if not for the turnovers, Detroit completely outplayed Dallas in nearly every measurable way.

I know where you're coming from, though - one does not expect to lose (especially like that) when the turnover ratio is so lopsided.

Yea, but I'd rather lose in a blowout, than a schoolyard "Made you look" play.

Um, Brian... Your shoe is untied.

I am not saying the Skins have not lost like that, my point is that I'd rather get an ass whipping than to come that close and fall for "Your shoe is untied".
