Last year when Dak went down the most shocking thing was how poorly the OL played the following week against AZ and that terrible play lasted a few more games.

Unlike last year everyone is healthy and if we are going to win tonight it starts with those guys.

I have no idea if Cooper Rush can play. About all I can tell is he knows where to go with the ball and his passes don’t have much velocity on them.

I just know if we’re going to win a game with him we can’t do what we did with Dalton last season and give Rush 0 protection.

The OL is our #1 key to victory.

Minn has good pass rush and DTs. So OL has to be best to protect QB. their secondary is a weak link. But big issue is can Rush throw beyond 25 yards ???

IMO, the defense will actually be the key. Dallas can't get into a shootout. If the offense has to be near perfect to win . . . Dallas won't win.

Dallas is an offensive team that plays a style of defense that pins it’s ears back and makes plays when other teams have to play from behind.

So if the offense doesn’t get going than neither will the defense most likely.

Cousins will dink and dunk, play it safe, and hand off to Cook.

I just have flashbacks to last season and remember everyone going off about Dalton against AZ when the OL sunk our ship before he ever had a chance.

They are healthy and we should have good protection tonight and if they can protect Rush then we have a chance.

Special teams, the kicking game, the running game, dink and dunk. And defense gonna have to pick the game up also. The offense of line will be as good as they always were

The trenches are the keys to winning. Defensive and offensive lines. Defensive line with Gregory and Parsons wrecked havoc all night. Kept Cook back for the most part minus a few big runs and had Cousins on his toes for majority of plays. Offensive line kept Rush protected as long as they could, and Zeke blocked well.

Wrong again......

the big difference is the defense. Even your hero dalton averaged 20 points a game last year.
