for real lol. Cook is the leading rusher in the league and thielen is leading the league in td catches. Plus Kirk been cooking lately. They did their jobs

And Jefferson had been on a freaking bottle rocket to stardom. Dude is legit. They lost Diggs and got better.

We squeaked by with that win. We are still inconsistent enough to be knocked out of the first round of the Playoffs. No significant titles ahead this year..

Moore sucks. Period. The 2 calls he made on the 3rd and 1 were just stupid, and cost us 3 points at least. And we would have had a 6 point lead at the end instead of 3 and them just needing a field goal to tie. And with just time for one play left at the half he calls a stupid fade to CeeCee. We are the only team in the league that tries those low percentage fade passes in the end zone. Moore is just a clone of Garrett. The team played well enough to overcome the points he left on the field with his dumb play calls at critical moments.

They kinda stink still. But they made a play at the end, so there's that. But this is the reality facing this team. They may win the division, because it's so poor. But with this defense, the talent and the DC, there is little chance then can make any real noise in the playoffs.

What do you expect, given the injuries to the team? As some of us have been saying all season this is more on the players than the Coaches. Mike Nolan showed yesterday he can coach in the NFL (like he did against the Steelers). Jettisoning Poe,Griffen and Worley who did not buy into the scheme has had a big impact. Nolan needs to be given time to bring in his players in the draft and free agency. Hats off to him, he did a great job.

Moore? How about McCarthy? This team is improving each game. Fans needs to be patient w/Dallas' new coaching staff & stop expecting them to fix Garrett's mess in a few games.

It's going to take the entire season, good or bad! Hang in there Dallas Nation.

Nolan still needs to be replaced.

The sooner the better.

yes, we gave up 400+ yards, but it was more bend but don't break. they actually got two...TWO...TWO turnovers....I had to rub my eyes, several times and Zeke, man he didn't fumble and his first 100 yard game of the season. Kellen Moore called a great game. I have criticized him in the past, but he called a very good game. took it to their defense. stuck to the run and utilized cooper....

great job by the coaches, shuffling the OL and it seemed to settle them down and give the QB a bit more time and they were actually opening up big holes for the RBs....

I've been very critical of the defense and specifically DLaw, Jaylon and the secondary. Well Jaylon still hasn't done much to impress me but I got to hand it to DLaw and the rest of the guys. They stopped them when they needed to and the secondary struggles but they looked like they are playing hard and caring. DLaw is earning his money.

I don't know guys and gals. Never thought I'd say this but maybe Jerry did something good. Ever since he cut Poe and traded Griffen the defense seems to play with more focus. Maybe that woke them up.

You got a point with McCarthy. The fact the team hasn't given up on this year says a lot. I'm impressed with this being the 10th game and we've lost all but 2 of them and the team played hard. You got to give MM some love.

Good win but the vikings DL has zero pass rushers.

I do think getting rid of poe, griffin, made a difference up front. those two were lazy.....entitled.....its energized the team..

agree, jaylon still sucked. he can't get off the block. he needs to be a sideline to sideline LB, and not attack LOS....he gets lost in there....his assett is his speed and athelticism. his play recognition is awful. I still think we need to replace him next year

I agree, sort of...the defense was loaded up front to stop the run.....that's the best time to run a pass play.....only if they executed. both were bad throws...

This is true, but at least they held up early in the game so we didn't get behind and have to play catch up like in many games this year. They also held up at the end. I admittedly felt a little sense of doom when the Cowboys scored their final TD because Minnesota had enough time to come back and at least kick the FG to tie, if not to score a TD and win.

Moore had some mistakes but for the most part he called a masterful game. I thought he’d have to call a perfect game for us to win and he came close enough.

Especially with the D fielding only 10 NFL caliber players and of course #54.
