How big is Vikings game?

[RonWashington]

How “ big “ is the Vikings game . Only the season . Start out the bye week break with 2 losses and forget the NFCE . Now your battling scraps as a possible on the road wildcard . The only hope of playoff success is the NFCE and at least one home playoff game at the art gallery .

This game will be huge until the Cowboys win.. At which point it will immediately be reclassified as beating an overrated Vikings team and no big deal.

We’re big underdogs, but you’re right. We win, Vikings are overrated. We lose, it’ll be the biggest and only story. A day after the GB loss, the “experts” were talking more about the Cowboys’ 3 point loss to Rodgers at Lambeau than Philly’s 11 point loss to the Commanders.

 

[RonWashington]

And yes obviously the following week have to beat the Giants go 8-3 as you chase the Eagles

Not big really. Vikings will blow us out by 24. They are the first Super Bowl caliber team cowboys have played this year. Cowboys are not Super Bowl caliber so the grand scheme it don’t really matter.

You wouldn’t say the Egirls are a SB contender this year?

Sure, but upsets happen in the NFL.

It’s not like losing to a HOF QB and perineal playoff team who we’ve struggled beating is shameful especially when they were at home with their backs against the wall attempting to save their season.

I would have felt much worse like going to Houston or Jax to lose. Packers could actually still be a playoff team. They are only 1 game back now from 7th seed.

I will go back to and try and emphasize how we lost.
GB exposed this defense even more vs the run, if that was even possible, they totally exposed and exploited our weakness.
There will be no forgiveness from our upcoming opponents, every team we face will continue to run the ball until we prove that we can stop it.
Watching our run D is more pathetic than watching Dak and his passing game.
Failing grades at both will not equate to success in this league.

Yes but remember we were bottom tier against the run on our way to 6-2. But didn’t give up 30 points a game nor blew 14 point leads in 4th qtr.

It’s amazing how the emotions of this loss has changed the overall narrative of this team .

At 6-2 we still had aspirations of winning the division and top seed with by most accounts looking at no worse than a 13-4 or 12-5 record cruising to a 4th or 5th seed .

Now with this loss there’s a crack in the dam . The bleeding has begun. All of a sudden in this crucial 3 game stretch heading into Thanksgiving this game with Vikes becomes huge .

We need a win over a team that became a legit contender Sunday knocking off the Bills at Buffalo. The Vikes all but have the North locked up with a 5 game lead over Packers. A game they can afford to lose .

This is as close to a must win game for us to regain our swagger we had at 6-2 bringing more confidence home for a big Turkey Day matchup with NY.

A loss to Minn and the wheels begun to come off falling to 6-4 with the threat of falling to 6-5 in a short week . Amazing how fast things can turn on such a hopeful looking season at 6-2.

Doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. This team isn’t going anywhere with the electric combination of Dakota Prescott and Kellen Moore.

Actually we opened up as 2 point favorites at Minnesota. Hard to believe.

The "Fix" is in on this one as the Cowboys being the favorite makes no sense.
We will win here.....

I guess it depends on how we define “ anywhere “. The playoffs would actually be somewhere.

But this franchise hasn’t had much success in playoffs this era long before either of them arrived and probably long after. Our toxic atmosphere goes much deeper.

 

[BlueStar22]

Must win.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

It's big. But the game the following week vs NYG is bigger. Need to split these next two, regroup and finish the season no worse than 4-2.

It’s actually the same week

 

[Diehardblues]

Must win.

It’s getting close. If we lose Sunday then Thanksgiving becomes possibly must win if we’re serious about the playoffs.

 

[RoboQB]

If Dak doesn’t beat Kirk Cousins this board will really go haywire. Cousins is the QB Dak is compared to most.

I'm sure there's plenty of material ready for this game depending on the outcome.

 

[Buzzbait]

If Dallas loses and Dak doesn't elevate the team then there will be serious questions about Dak v. Rush seeing as how Rush, even in his limited passing abilities, went 4-1 and with a loss Dak will be 2-3.

I don't foresee any "serious questions about Dak vs Rush" regardless of the Vikings Cowboys outcome. Despite Dak's shortcomings, he's still better than Rush.
Not only that but this defense isn't playing like it did in those early games. Rush benefitted heavily from that strong defensive performance.

 

[jay94]

Giants game is monumentally bigger, it's not even up for debate. It's a tossup whether or not they beat MINN. Dak is going to have to play better, we must win the TO battle.

Wow! That IS hard to believe!

 

[shabazz]

The Cowboys are in the top 1/3 of the league. But anybody watching the actual games should know that we are near the bottom of that same top 1/3. Having literally one of the worst run defenses in the league and a WR corp that’s scares no DC in the league, rates that observation……having a Qb that can’t perform well in the big games doesn’t help either……we’ll get ‘em next season, sport
