2 evenly matched teams....close score....what else would one expect?

True, the Vikings have three key players out but agree that they are still fairly evenly teams that play similar football.

 

[KMY_Amber]

I expected Zeke to run to the outside once in a blue moon.

Yes, a toss or a sweep, or a screen please. Sheesh!

 

[TruBluSince1982]

The screen passes. Thats really all they have been able to get consistently

Screens are hurting. Not just this game imo either.

Quite odd too with the attributes of our personel. (Fast sideline to sideline linebackers), but our Corners seem to be getting man handled.

Minnesota is doing a great job of mixing things up tho too.

Someone needs to tell Garrett that you are allowed to go for it when it's 4th and 5th on the opponents 40.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Not to get blown out of the stadium in the first quarter?

Its four quarters to a game. I wanted them to start out stronger but I mean a 3 point game.....Vikings are not a bad team. Not sure what was expected. Don't overrate this Cowboy team. Vikings are arguably better than us. Especially if we aren't going to get much from Zeke.

How do you do all this? I'm really curious how you're uncovering all this info from your flat inch TV screen.

If he's making all those plays on man coverage, doesn't that mean he's figuring out the Vikings defense?

Don't try to take anything away from him. He's been pretty much perfect on the last 2 drives - even though the first 3 were not good but not entirely his fault.

It’s not very difficult to see that they pretty much have one safety in the back and man on the outside. Even Chris Collinsworth is basically pointing it out.

The only thing the Vikings do is stack the line showing run, but drop men in zone in the middle of the field. On the outside it’s pretty much man.

 

[Starforever]

He’s been playing bad the past few games!

Chido has not played well since his rookie debut. Of course, this is my opinion.

 

[EST_1986]

Why do we refuse to get our RBs involved in the passing game?

That didn’t happen until the 21st century.

 

[CWR]

Yes, the offensive play calling is so so bad, especially early. The first 10 to 15 plays of every game barely scare the defense, just Zeke runs, and play action dink and dunks. No downfield throws, just safe crap.

Week after week, no changes, just pound the rock, and either punt or try for a FG (and even that's rare).

Damn coaches!

I swear the Cowboys players have to win in spite of the coaching.

Ton of audibles and adjustments at the line.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Clog the middle of the field and spy Cook with Lewis.

We probably won't do that.

That's what we should do lol.

Coaching.

 

[jblaze2004]

garrett team wasn't prepared to start the game.

if only I got paid a dollar everytime I heard that statement. I would be a very rich man. I would probably buy the cowboys lol

 

[SlammedZero]

Hopefully the defense can tighten up their game the second half. Oh, and TACKLE

 

[Captain43Crash]

Especially when you have only one guy in diggs thats really a threat. I would def challenge their wr's more. Defense just has to stop the screens.

Lee is a screen stopper! He should be on the field on passing downs, not LVE!

Didn't seem like lat year the screens were a problem. With LVE and Jaylon....yeah its shocking screen passes are where they are struggling this year.

Garrett never talks into the headset.

Impossible. I thought he calls plays.

It's what I've been saying on Twitter. I want to see a new coaching staff next year. The current one does not get the most out of the roster. There is no reason why Jarwin or Pollard aren't getting more snaps on offense.

 

[glimmerman]

Really needed to go in at least tied. Looks like we are getting a little pressure on the qb. But Chido has to get his head around. He had a pick or could have broke it up. And we are leaving that zone in the middle wide open. And please tackle in the second half.
