Game Day Cowboys vs Vikings post game thread

[Zordon]

11-1...

Mike Irvin out here smiling like a proud dad on Graduation night.

What a time to be a Cowboys fan. We've been through a lot the past 5, 10, 20, 25 years...

say it again bro. that postgame has me in my feelings...

In the NFL in a 16 game season, you're bound to struggle sometimes...but winning this game against a desperate Viking game was huge...we've played a lot of football in the last few weeks, we are 4-0 in a tough stretch...now we get a break and hopefully we clinch home field soon, then we can rest some bodies and get some guys healthy.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Love what Zeke and Dez are saying - winning is more important than personal stats.

Finally something I've been saying for years.

 

[Melonfeud]

Geesh, how many penalties did we have?

I heard/read we were awarded(8)

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

My bad. I mistook the butt joke as an implication that Frederick snapped the ball incorrectly. My apologies.

no problem, sometimes butt jokes are hard to read.

If it's possible to be 11-1 and be completely unimpressive these Cowboys pull it off.

Didn't look good against the Ravens. Same with the Commanders. Tonight was awful.

Clean it up, coach. That record means nothing if they keep playing like this.

Ravens game was great, just a slow start. Sloppy first quarter and a half to start vs the skins. Tonight was a different animal. Penalties killed us but I'd love to see the all 22'tomsee what Dak saw. His legs were important but the passing game was very inefficient. Concerning? Sure. But not a trend IMO.

 

[Cmac]

Why is no one even saying anything about the obvious false start on the 2 pt comversion? Should have been a dead ball, but a retry from the 12.

Agree....I'm applying for NFL ref job next year.....I wear glasses, but what difference will that make?

this

they need to get their collective ***** chewed out

For winning 11 straight games.....glad you're not my coach

Our vaunted oline should be absolutely ashamed of themselves today. Seriously pathetic today. I mean, when was the last time a center snapped the ball into his own butt?

Yes this oline didn't play at their best and that was as freaky of a snap that I ever seen but they can't play dominate every week and this Vikings front was the most active and athletic dline they played all year and it doesn't get any easier with the Giants dline next week but with this team there is no doubt in my mind this oline will play much better next week and luckily with the turnovers by the offense the Vikings couldn't capitalize on them the Giants however is a total different animal offensively and can't afford any turnovers in that game period.

Outside of Seattle, or KC in the SB, we won't see another D that good in the playoffs. Another one bites the dust. We needed this type of game IMO.

 

[DenCWBY]

Dak showed me toughness today, I'm proud of him. Like I said I'm just concerned with our passing offense right now. In the playoffs we'll need more. If we don't make at least the NFC championship this season is a failure IMO.

DCoordinators are starting to find some chinks in the armor of our offense including Dak. Not saying he can't overcome it but Dak is going to have to really start watching more film and JG and Co is going to have to start getting creative. The NYG game is going to be interesting.

It happens occasionally when the quarterback has his hands positioned correctly but keeps his hands closed. It also happens more often than I believe some people notice.

What did Davis injure? I remember never being impressed with him. For a man of his size he was not very good.

Apologies, I seemed to recall he was injured in Arizona, but he was actually shifted around on that team because of injuries to other positions and never really found a spot to achieve dominance and he never fulfilled his promise for his draft spot. The Cardinals let him go as an unrestricted Free agent.

He played their six years and never sniffed the pro bowl until Dallas with Romo.. Dallas was seen as a place he could potentially resurrect a career that has a lot of promise that didn't pan out..

And the pro bowls he and guys like Gurode achieved here were because of hype and Romo.. Romo still took beatings with them and it was his ability to keep plays alive that obscured how average they were..

Like I said, what Dak is working with, compared to what Romo had including play calling is absolutely like night and day and it's an absolute insult to him to compare the two..

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Happy we won. Sad Witten didn't get a catch.

I know someone pointed out in the game thread that he had a catch. Yes he did. That got wiped out by penalty.

He officially had zero catches tonight for the first time in 130 games.

But having the W is oh so sweet.


And I see that Risen continues to be beside himself that the Cowboys continue to win with Dak. It's obviously just killing him.

 

[maxdogg]

Rusty Romo puts up better numbers.

Rusty romo would have been laid out like a little girl early on.

 

[ShiningStar]

Rusty room would have been laid out like a little girl early on.

you are correct, i just personally feel one good hit and another bone or the same bones are cracking. Let him retire a Cowboy and become a coach in some capacity. Another team cant even trade for him, one good hit and they are out money, do everyone a favor and keep him here.

 

[khiladi]

Dak had his hands in the snap and Frederick put it right in his hands.. that being said, its actually a better teaching moment for Dak, which he has shown he learns from. What seems to be certain are not always certain and you always got to keep focus..

 

[Bay10]

I'm sad and I'm happy and love you all!

I think Minnesota may be better. No stats to prove it. Just eye test. Again on a neutral field we probably score a lot more
