Even without Dak

[cityochamps]

We should still beat the Viks, if we limit our turnovers and the defense can get off the field and create a few big plays (sacks and turnovers). Mooore will place Rush in a position to manage the game from a scaled downed a tad play book. Obviously we can and will run the ball and the Viks D are 29th in the League on yards per attempt allowed our Offense is 3rd, they are also 26th in total rushing yards per game and our offense is 2nd. Unless Cooper has all day (he wont) I don't see him being able to make several reads so quick slants, some screens and crossing routes should be a big part of Moore's plan to help balance out the offense and keep the running game successful. Cousins is a good QB and they will get their passing yards so we will need to get after him and I hope we use Parsons at DE on both sides more. It will be a closer contest with out Dak, but we should still have enough weapons' to to take on a 3-3 team like the Viks and with a couple of breaks still come away with a W this week.

The Viks suck!

 

[bewp7]

not with this defense and the vikings offense.

idk why they are not putting up big # but i can see what they have on offense.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

37-17 Vikings if Rush plays.

 

[Risen Star]

With an average backup QB yes but not with the complete slop they have behind the starter to make him look good.

I certainly agree the front office has not set us up very well for the scenario of a injury to our star QB But our Offense is loaded literally, and I think Moore can do something with Rush at the helm. Dont ask me what cause I dont know but I like this team and staff, they pull this off somehow and I like them even "Moore".

The Viks suck!

Exactly!

Cooper Rush is utter garbage. We won't score more than 13 points, if he starts.

 

[Bobhaze]

37-17 Vikings if Rush plays.

I believe our coaching staff is better than that. Obviously, if Dak doesn’t play, we are not going to be as good offensively. But come on man, even a below avg backup can bus drive us to a win. Or at the least, keep us in the game if there are no turnovers.

If Dak is out, we are hurt. But this team is more than just Dak.

 

[visionary]

With Rush we have exactly ZERO chance of winning

I have no confidence in a guy that has thrown 3 passes in his 5 year career.

If this was Andy Dalton or somebody like that I'd have much more confidence. Maybe Rush will surprise me, but I can't help but doubt him until he proves me wrong.

 

[Zman5]

If Rush starts, we'll find out how good KM really is.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Vikes are way better than their record indicates.
With Rush in, they will stack the box and prevent Zeke and Pollard from gushing them as they know we will not be a threat through the air. We will lose with Rush. We should’ve gotten Foles or even Minshew before this season even started.

This game will be on the defense... Even with DAK starting..this defense needs to figure out how to Stop the trifecta of Davin Cook, Justin Jefferson and Adam Theilen..... Dan Quinn will have his hands full..regardless who starts at QB

I said 17 but that's close enough.

31-17 Vikes.

I didn’t say I had confidence in Cooper Rush. But I do have some confidence in the other players and coaching staff.

The defense will have to totally ball out if Dallas is to win this game.

I would have much more confidence in them if I didn't see them last year without Dak.

So Dak needs a Cooper Rush as a backup to make him look good? I've seen some idiotic comments here but this is THE MOST idiotic of them all. Wow! Here's your award.

That’s ridiculous. There’s no way anyone of us should be confident we can beat the Vikings on the road with cooper rush at qb.

it can happen, but it’s not likely.
