So, who should we look at as backup? Dak is becoming injury prone (Im including the shoulder injury he had in preseason too). He may not be reliable in the future. Again, I say we take a look at Foles. Maybe even Minshew or Flacco. Don't know who else is available. Cam is washed and sucks and is a locker room cancer so definitely not him. He'll also ask for too much. Any other ideas?
Cam is better than Flacco and Minshew.....but if we're going to characterize.....Cooper Rush is what we have. Go figure.

Everyone hates Rush but I will defend him. Rush isn't horrible...he is doing exactly what we all expected. Manage the game, move the chains. He made a few bad throws but overall, he hasn't lost them the game yet. Keep in mind, this is the best defense they have seen all season...especially when it comes to pass D. Vikings have only allowed 7 passing TDs all season.

Honestly, it should be 7-6 right now.

Rush needs to settle down and Moore needs to quit calling all these goofy passes in the red zone. When you get close, put on the big boy pants and punch em in the mouth. As long as the defense can keep us in this game we can grind them up with the run. Keep chipping away until the dam breaks.

Stupid is stupid regardless of the team. They were booing as the half ended

I wonder if they have any fans that will come up with some bizarre excuse for what he did ?
Hmmmm? What kind of fan are you? Mr. Perfect or understand that stuff happens?

I blame managment on this one.. Trade deadlines, you knew the status of your QB and there were some viable options for backup out and about.. Whoever said we can do with Cooper Rush is dumb.

Agreed. Running game has been there all night. No idea why Moore doesn’t just keep going to the well

This was ugly but tying the game to open the third quarter changes everything. Dallas' defense has been great minus the opening drive.

I really think Garrett Gilbert was better than Cooper Rush. Neither are great but Gilbert seemed to make better decisions if you give him some pass protection.

I don't see Rush scoring any TD unless the Viking jump out to a big lead and they go into a soft defense.

One thing this game without Dak does is expose the weak areas in the rest of the team, especially special teams. Special teams cost the Cowboys at least 6 points so far. A missed FG and the offsides on the punt led to a FG.

The defense is playing better than expected except for the first drive, but even that is a mirage. Except for some early pressure on Cousins the pass rush has disappeared. Diggs is having an awful game.

If they are going to win this game they need to run the ball and take it all the way into the end zone. Then play defense and try to keep it close enough to see if Zurlein, who I would replace tomorrow, can win the game on a short FG.

We were told that Dak doesn't make a difference on this team and were told that Dak is "being carried" by the offensive weapons that the Cowboys have. We were told that any average NFL QB could take Dak's place and the the Cowboys wouldn't miss anything with Dak out or gone. We were told that the Cowboys offense would look exactly the same with just about any other QB other than Dak under center.:rolleyes:

Exactly.

Where are those guys now that they’ve been proven wrong again?
