Game Day ***Cowboys vs Vikings 1st Half Game Thread***

[ThatJerryKid]

Got my bottle of Crown handy for a few shots, well, a lot of shots tonight.

So you take shots every time the Cowboys score too?

The Cooper rush era begins

I'm trying to keep in mind that maybe we won't see the same Rush we saw with the threes in preseason.

We can only hope.

A potential to see Grier if Cooper Rush stinks it up. McCarthy might as well do it. Since they are all bet giving this game to the Vikings anyway.

There’s no reason why we can’t still win this game. Let’s Go Cowboys!!

Let's go Ginger Boy!!!!

Dallas will still win tonight...

 

[glimmerman]

@BourbonBalz I don't know why I waste my time on some of these guys.....I'm gonna try to chill and just enjoy the game. Salud!

Yeah me too but afraid this game will not be very good and I wonder about the next few weeks. After 2 weeks and a calf injury has him out.

Let's go Ginger Boy!!!!

Let the QB controversy begin.....who should be the starter???

I said this in a different thread

Anyway, I won't be on for the game so I'll post this again... I actually have a little faith. I re-watched him vs Zona and Houston in preseason. My four keys for success with Rush.
Two obvious:

1. Lean on the run game
2. Keep the pocket relatively clean

Two not so obvious:

3. Get him on the move
4. 2 reads and let him scramble

I think 12 personnel, which we use a lot (4th in the league through all snaps and 3rd on 1st downs) will be used even more in order to establish a powerful run game and added protection in the pass game. We use more play action out of the 12 personnel wing formations too, so Play action rollouts would be perfect for Rush to make 2 (maybe 3) reads and then use his legs. With a healthy OL we have a chance....

starting off with a Rusty nail,i need a lot of alcohol to watch this one.

 

[Sheepish]

Big game tonight IMO. Vikings could easily be 5-1 and barely lost to AZ and CIN. They could still be playoff contenders.

Good chance for the team to show what they are made of.

 

[Ranching]

Moore will show his worth tonight.....MM too....

 

[ShortRound]

ok that's good

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Cowboys 28
Viking 27

Zeke and Pollard carry Rush.

 

[Xeven]

Well let’s hope Pollard and Zeke both rush for 300 each =)

 

[just_catch_it]

Lets keep it respectable!!

 

[Legend]

Last year when the Cowboys season was practically over; we should have seen Garrett Gilbert and/or Cooper starting and playing

This season when the Cowboys have a chance to finish with the best record in the NFC; the best proven available veteran QB should have been signed the morning after the Patriots victory

Common sense has not been a common practice for the Dallas Cowboys for 25+ years.

 

[Carson]

This is going to be uggggly

 

[jazzcat22]

Defense will need to come up big tonight.
And the run game on offense.

Vikings may stack the box at first, so Cooper will or should have some open targets to throw to. Even if dink and dunk.
But Kellen should call too throw a few deep passes early to show them they aren’t afraid to throw it down field.
