Cowboys could have division wrapped up officially before anyone else in the league.
It'll be a shootout.Just me, but the Vikes game will be a tough one. It's the first game so far I don't have a good feeling about us winning. We should be ok with the next 5 but this one, whewww
Yes, it’s a message board and a thread about upcoming games. Come out of your safe space and join us. I promise you won’t get hurt.This team barely beat a rookie QB in his 6th game with little at WR and a rookie RB, I believe.
Tyron went out with an ankle injury and Dak a calf injury. No one knows the status of those two players right now.
And some people are predicting 6-0, 5-2, etc.?
The Vikings are hard to read. They’re all over the place. They should’ve lost to the Lions. They have some good talent, but are one of the most inconsistent teams in the league. They can be very good and they can be awful. The key is to control Cook. We can score on them. Well, we can score on anyone.
It'll be a shootout.
Also, we're still not sure if Dak will be playing or not, and if he does how limited and affected he will be.
Cousins is a top 10 QB and Cook is a top 5 RB.
I can see this being a race to 35 points.
Nobody is picking 5-2 over 6 games … lolThis team barely beat a rookie QB in his 6th game with little at WR and a rookie RB, I believe.

We are very similar teams. They might be the most similar team to us in the league.I've actually said in another thread the game will either be a high-scoring or complete blowout by one team. Two elite offenses with shaky defenses =_____________

I agree. In part because the Cowboys have in recent years stumbled coming out of the bye. We needed the bye for the physical break, but ole mo is powerful and the bye breaks that.Just me, but the Vikes game will be a tough one.

Well said. Some expect 20 point blowouts in every game. The entire history of the NFL tells us the opposite. Winning is difficult. Consistently winning in a blowout fashion is impossible, especially on the road.Nobody is picking 5-2 over 6 games … lol
Now, why not consider you are hinging this on just one game out of a 5-1 start to the season, and a game the team pulled out. You have to realistically understand even the best teams are going to have some tough games where they don't do as well as expected.
Cases in point ….
5-1 defending Super Bowl Champion Bucs also barely got by that same Patriots team.
Ravens are 5-1 and one of the top teams in the NFL this year, but barely got by the 2-4 Colts in overtime and only beat the Lions by 2
Packers are 5-1 but got blown out by the Saints to begin the season, and barely got by the Bengals and 49ers
Rams are 5-1 but barely got past the Colts
Do you see the point? Having a game or two where the win is tougher than expected happens even with the top teams and just reflects the nature of the NFL.
Minnesota will also be coming off a bye, so…..I agree. In part because the Cowboys have in recent years stumbled coming out of the bye. We needed the bye for the physical break, but ole mo is powerful and the bye breaks that.
Tyron also re-entered the game and shortly after that blew open a big hole on one of the longest running plays. I think he is fine.

They could also be 1-5. Detroit had them beat and fumbled VERY late in the game and they beat Carolina in OT.We are very similar teams. They might be the most similar team to us in the league.
Both have great QBs, both have great RBs, both have great WRs, and both have not trustworthy at all defenses.
They've been in every single game they've played this year. They are 3-3, but could just as easily be 5-1 or 6-0. If their defense was able to catch some breaks and force turnovers the way ours have so far then the Vikings would be looked at just the way we are I feel.
This is not going to be an easy game by any stretch. I could see us losing if Dak isn't fully healthy.
