The Vikings are probably the 3rd best team we will play so far this season. Maybe the second most talented team overall. That said at full strength we should beat them by two touchdowns. They are the classic 8-8 team. Every game on their schedule they could have won or lost. Strange. It will be a close game but we should pull it out. Gallup should be back and they are down their top cornerback.

The Vikings play us well. I forgot we played them last two seasons and the games have been close. Dak played one of his best games two years ago against them but Garrett wanted to run Zeke into a wall. Last season Dalton played his best game of the year against them and out played Cousins. If we got that Dalton the rest of the season we win the East. This game will be fun.

umm Cousins is playing every bit as good as Dak this year ..maybe pay attention.go look at the qb rankings,... Cousins is playing at a high level.

Kirk Cousins
1769 7.4 239 166 0.695 13 2 105.4

Dak Prescott
1813 8.4 216 158 0.731 16 4 115

Yes I know he is that's why I'm worried about our defense holding up. We can't stop their offense.

That doesn't mean we or they cannot get a stop. Just means both teams offenses will probably score 24+ points.

It's a wonder what DQ would have done with Griffin. I think the entire defence knew Nolan was not the guy to lead them.

MM needs to take ownership of that awful hiring. It was his buddy and it absolutely destroyed their chances last year before Dak even got hurt

i agree. The team should hold a raffle. MM stands at the 50 and 50 raffle winners have 1 throw from the 40. Objective is to hit MM in the head while yelling NOLAN!

The Vikings will be the 3rd best team the Cowboys face this season, after the Bucs and Chargers, but will see how media and Cowboys haters will move the goal posts, if the Cowboys manages to beat them. Then it will suddenly be that the Vikings aren't a good team either.

No one is disputing that they have a really talented offense so your entire second paragraph is unnecessary. At this point you're just arguing to argue because you're not making a whole lot of sense talking about their offense but I really never said anything about it other than I hope our defense can keep it close.

The Vikings are a very good team. We need to play "mistake free" football and cut down on ALL those dang penalties and shooting ourselves in the foot!! Then again, I guess it depends on the refs and if they will call a fair and balanced game....stay tuned!!

The Vikings are one of the better teams on our schedule, but we have a pretty weak schedule. I just watched the Panther's game yesterday and they didn't look like a dominant team on either side of the ball. If Darnold's recievers didn't drop every other pass, they could have won that game.

Their losses were all real close. The worst was by 7 points.. They are a good team, but we're easily a tier above them.

Tied for 1st place in sacks with 21. Leading sackers are LB Danielle Hunter, a 1st team All Pro in 2019, and Everson Griffen, who played for the Cowboys last season until being traded. Hunter has 6 sacks while Griffen has 4.

Vikings opponent passing percentage is 7th lowest in the league. They are also very good at limiting passing TD's, ranking 6th in this category.

Another familiar name on the Vikings defense is Xavier Woods who starts at safety. Thus far, he has one INT and one forced fumble. He is 3rd place among his teammates in solo tackles.

Wood's INT was against the Cardinals, a game the Vikings would have won but their kicker missed a 37 yard field goal as time expired. The Cardinals won 34-33.

Since then, the Vikings have won 3 out of their last 4 games.

This will not be an easy game for the Cowboys going into the Viking's stadium and playing before a national audience on Sunday Night Football.

I said it in another thread. this is a tough game, specially for our defense and we are on the road, both teams coming off a bye, so we don't even have an advantage of a bye week.
