Even without Dak

[RaZon]

Vikes at home after a bye, the Cowboys on the road with a back up QB also after a bye, hmmmmm?

There is no reason to think this is going to be an easy win, very concerned.

But totally concerned about sticking Dak out there and he.....well.

 

[Aulac]

Doesn't this post prove how stack this team is? Any other team and it probably be a lost.

 

[lqmac1]

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.

If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle!

 

[sjmike]

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

Oh, so they intentionally do not get a good backup because they don't wanna make him look bad? I really hope you are being sarcastic because, if not, you're just a guy that can't accept when he's wrong and a loser and I would hate to think that about a person

Copper Rush will pick them apart.
Vikings will be geared up to stop the run.
So one or two less defenders of the stack the box to cover our WR’s & TE’s.

Just take what the defense gives them to control the clock even if using a short passing game. Then take a few deep shots also.

Rush will play well. Defense will still need to step up though. Not get into a shootout.

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 Boys have way too many weapons for the Vikes to cover. The Boys pull away in the 2nd half to go 6-1 with or without King Dak!

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

Not the same cast of characters. Over 40% of this roster wasn’t even here last year. 7 starters are new to the team. I understand why you feel that way, but this isn’t the same roster.

 

[Risen Star]

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".

Negative. He'll be a train wreck.

All the Vikings have to do is bring the heat every snap and he'll fold.

 

[morat1959]

37-17 Vikings if Rush plays.

17 ?????

 

[Ranched]

MEANWHILE....

 

[links18]

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

Not really fair to Moore. He can't lemonade out of a prune.

 

[Praxit]

..my magic 8 ball says: Dallas by 10

 

[mldardy]

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.

LOL at way better than their record. They needed a last second FG to beat the Lions and to go to overtime to beat the Panthers. They aren't way better.

How about a raisin?

they also went toe to toe with the cards and bengals. Held in with the Browns and Chiefs (yes I know they are nowhere near as good as they were last year). They aren’t a bad team. Actually one of the top regular season game teams we will face.

It gets a whole lot harder to run when the opposition doesn't have any respect for your QB. Hopefully Dak plays and keeps that threat alive. Sprinkle in some play action too and we will catch them slipping.

Good question, we will find out tomorrow night.

That would be great if they brought the heat every play, Cooper wouldn't even need to throw a pass. Zeke:175 yards Rushing/Pollard:250

The only train wreck will be you after the game

 

[JoeKing]

I'm buying. Even without Dak, we are the better team.

 

[Flamma]

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.

This game is going to be painful to watch. If Rush doesn't turn the ball over and Dallas can hold them to under 20, yeah, Dallas might win. But neither of those two things are going to happen.
