What will the Vikings game tell us?

[Reality]

Same thing as every game so far in the minds of many. If we lose, we'll hear, "I told you so". If we win, we'll hear, "the real test is next week".

Will Linehan continue his awesome play calling and use of his personnel. I can't wait.

I am looking forward to this game. The Vikings have a very strong defense but are having trouble offensively.

If this game goes according to script, we should put up enough points to beat the Vikings and win by about 10 points. This defense is likely to be a defense on par with Seattle and could be a preview of what we will face playing Seatttle.

I hope that we continue to show offensive efficiency against this defense and learn from it as we prepare for the playoff run.

We will be 11-1 or 10-2. Go Cowboys

Not much more than the Ravens game did.

If the once vaunted Vikings D playing at their home stadium can somehow shut down our O and makes our D win a game, it might tell us something. Their offense is really bad though.

Jerry Jones is a bit of a jerk but at least he is a football guy

That settles that.

LOLOL....
To beat Dallas? Maybe give our non-existent OL brass knuckles and tasers! But they would still called for motion and get pushed backwards all day.

I have been watching the Cowboy games this season with Game Pass, as I spent the money on it and I would LIKE to see some real quality football being played. Their front line is Amazing!. Even though our team is about to get humiliated on national TV, watch the game anyway and watch their OL. How far back do you old timers need to go in Viking films to see REAL OL play that makes for a great offense? A decade? They run complex blocking schemes that are timed like broadway choreography. It just gets me more pissed off at Spielman. Jerry Jones is a bit of a jerk but at least he is a football guy who knows that you cant have success without a rock solid OL.

the Jerry Jones who didnt draft an olineman in the first rd for more than 20 years?

How focused prepared and consistent we are. Every week is it's own separate entity. They are desperate and playing at their dome where they're a much better team. I expect another tough test but it's a game we should win. We cannot look ahead or start to "feel" ourselves. We have high hopes but we haven't done **** until we lock up our own division. Win now and control your own destiny.

...and who wanted Manziel as badly as Spielman did...

Actually, the Vikings defense isn't even playing as well as it was. Take Diggs out of the game and they are damn near awful on offense. Seems like the Vikes have always played us tough though.

Is Diggs going to play on thursday?

 

[haleyrules]

It will tell us the Cowboys are 11-1.

It will tell us the Cowboys are 11-1.

Hopefully that we continue to move towards the division title and top seed in the NFC...
