Did we beat a good team?

Point-of-the-Star · Nov 23, 2020

The Vikes came into the game with twice as many wins as the Cowboys and one quality win. So, we beat a better team !

We're now on that drive to 8-8 ! Go Cowboys !

honestly there isnt a team in the NFC that isnt flawed in some fashion and no one scares me. Yes Dallas may be more flawed but the power is in the AFC. Dallas beat the team in front of them which is all they need to do from this point forward.

As @windward pointed out, the Vikings were the best offense left on the schedule.

Creeper · Nov 23, 2020

The Vikings are not a good team, but they are average with a better than average QB and a better than average RB. To be honest, I did not think the Cowboys could beat them. They have some good receivers too. It looks to me like somewhere along the line the Cowboys excised a cancer from the defense. Not sure who that was but they are certainly playing with more purpose than they did the first 7 games.

They came in with one of the best Running games in football, Dalvin Cook has been tearing it up. Cousins was healthy with Thielen and Jefferson. Imagine if we had Kendricks instead of Jaylon and Harrison instead of Woods?

Yes they're a good football team and we beat them in their house.

NE has a better rushing game, are they better than Minnesota or a good team too?

Saying this team won't win another game this season while mutually denying credit after a win...

Some of you should go into politics.

Ummm.... we lost to the Seahawks by one last Wilson drive as well. I could say we should have won against the Seahawks and Rams, but there's no what-ifs in the NFL.

We lost to the Browns, Seahawks, and Rams (3 playoff teams with a combined record of 20-9) by one drive. Not sure what you're trying to say here other than celebrating a mediocre win which means essentially nothing and says nothing.

Giants would be close to undefeated if DJ didn’t turn the ball over 3 times a game and/or at crucial points at the end of games. They could have beat TB if they didn’t get screwed on a bad penalty in the end zone at the end of the game.

They must be a very good team.

Well...we did win on the road for the first time in forever,that alone makes this win special and the vikes did win 3 in a row..so yeah,I think they are a good team.

No but they did beat a healthier team. Could ask the same question a little differently, did they lose to a good team?

The Cowboys are not a good team, no team in the East is a good team at this time. I do not know if the Cowboys will become a good team this season but winning is better than losing. They can't do anything about the level of competition.

Giants almost beat TB without S Barkley and Cowboys almost beat the Steelers without Dak. Both teams have new coaching staffs in a Covid year without a real off-season.

The East has a bad record for a reason that could totally flip in 2021

A win is a win! Learn to appreciate them.

No, we didn't. We really didn't. It's a 4-6 team overall with one fluke win against the Packers. Who cares if they're on a streak, the wins are against the Lions and 5-5 Bears. They also won against the lowly Texans, and loss to the terrible Falcons. They give up 27.8 points per game, and we score 3.2 more points on them than the average. Whoopee.

Lamest win there is, there's nothing to get excited about here.

lol...you people, compare to how we were playing they were better than us. So yes we beat a better team than us.

Eh, beating a 2 win team isn’t the same as beating a 9 win team, I just don’t get that special feeling. It’s like beating a guy half your size, you just don’t get the same gratification as someone your size or bigger (at least for me) but yes, absolutely happy we won no matter who it is.

I've beaten big men and little pipsqueaks. It's all the same to me. When you see their eyes close and hear the breath coming out if them......it's awesome man!!

That it is! Always a good feeling, just not AS good for me personally. I would be a lot more excited to beat Baltimore than the Jets, that’s all I mean.

Vikings are better than the Cow-girls'.
That much is true.

No. We beat an average team.
An improvement from terrible.

They really aren't good. Not sure why people think otherwise

No. The vikings have less talent on defense than we do.

Did we beat a good team?
