Monday morning quarterback

[CoachD]

1. WOW!! Now that was a pucking brass whipping right there.
2. I haven't seen the Cowboys dominate like that since the early 90s
3. I thought that the Vikings were good? Were they hung over or something because they really sucked.
4. You could give games balls out to at least a dozen Cowboys including the Viking's offensive line.
5. Poor Kirk Cousins he never and I mean never plays well against the Cowboys.
6. Dak was solid and efficient and threw a couple of really nice touch passes.
7. Tony Pollard is one of the best RBs in the league he just makes play after play.
8. Run defense was much improved and that Vikings offense didn't stand a chance against that pass rush.
9. Brett "Money" Maher! Two 60 yard field goals! He wasn't even on the team during training camp.
10. The game was such an embarrassment CBS had to change it in the 3rd quarter HAHAHAHAH!

It wasn't on Cousins. No one would have stood a chance with the breakdowns they were having.

I think it was the best possible timing. They were spent from the Bills game & we needed a bounce back. Not taking anything away from our performance but game is probably not completely indicative of the two teams' talent when healthy & rested.

One of the best Games for a Cowboys fan in recent memory.
Hope we learned from it and can keep it going the rest of the way.

The game was over once we went up 30-3 but the Vikings decision to come out passing on 3 straight plays at the beginning of the second half sealed their fate for sure!

Don't give any excuses to the Vikings. They were a legit 8-1, Dallas SMOKED them

Exactly. The defense played great, but Cook still averaged 6.6 yards per carry with no long runs. If the offense hadn’t opened a lead, the Vikings may have run more than 11 times. I love that we were holding him to 3-4 yards per carry in the first quarter to bring up passing 3rd downs, but I’m still a little leary of the run defense in a tight ball game.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Dak played a clean efficient game.

That’s all I want from Dak.

This team is in trouble when Dak starts getting greedy and playing hero ball. Offense should be led by the run.

 

[OGCowboy]

Excellent effort only set the bar higher...reaching the point of anything less than a SB appearance will be considered a total failure

 

[Eddie]

I didn't realize the Vikes were 8-1.

Stunning.

 

[Creeper]

The Cowboys played an outstanding game. Coming off that horrible loss to the Packers, this was the kind of game we wanted to see. The Cowboys showed great pride following up a stinker with a blowout.

However, some caution is required. No team is as good as they look when they blow someone out, and no team is as bad as they look when they get blown out. The Cowboys should have beaten the Packers the way they beat the Vikings. But they played poorly. But just like l was week was 1 game, this is only 1 game too. The Cowboys are a good team but they still have to play well.

Next comes the Giants on a short week. The Giants could be as angry about losing to the Lions as the Cowboys were losing to the Packers. This is no time for the Cowboys to celebrate. Taking out the Giants next on a short week is an imperative. If they want any chance to win the division, they must sweep the NFC East the rest of the way. Rarely do we see a team with two consecutive blowouts in 4 days. The Cowboys need to be on their game again Thursday.

With that, I have to go do my Thanksgiving dinner shopping. If I survive the grocery store I will post more thoughts later!

Cousins being a statue means no real threat to run, making it easier to key on the RBs.

Yes, but after yesterday, they now have a negative point differential on the season. That means all those wins were by a fairly narrow margin.

 

[Risen Star]

The Vikings had an emotional dump last week in their big win over the Bills. The Cowboys were angry after losing a game they had won. That played a large part of what happened.

That still doesn't explain 40-3 though. I think then you have to start talking about Damone Clark.

 

[Direwolf63]

It was the Cowboys best game in a long, long time.

But I have been burned so many times, I've learned not to get ahead of my skis with these guys. Get a good win against a depleted Giants team on Thursday and move on from there

The Vikings have been walking a tightrope all year. They have not won a game by double digits. They are 8-2, but have a negative point differential. That's never happened.

It was just a matter of time before they fell off the rope. The Cowboys didn't push them off. They cut the line with a chainsaw.

Absolutely on Clark....think they knocked it outta the park with this vatto.
Be fun watching him going fwd....

That would explain the Cowboys winning. It doesn't explain the manner they won by. The Vikings were flat and they ran into an angry Cowboys team.

Cowboys d-line vs. their o-line was a huge mismatch even before Darrisaw went out. Once he left, it was over for Cousins.

And their secondary outside of Peterson is a mess.

Put it together with the intangibles you talked about and you have this game. They has nothing left after that miracle win against the Bills. And the Cowboys were..........angry.

Oh, and the "SKOL" chant by the fans before the game put the Cowboys over the top

Throw it all into a blender and mix is how you end up at 40-3

They were not paying attention.
The blueprint for beating us is out there.
Run Run and run some more.
Glad they did what they did lol
