Vikings @ Cowboys Discussion
With the Bears win today, the Vikings have been mathmetically eliminated from the playoffs, so tonight’s game will be much more stress-free than it would have been if the Vikings were still in it. Not like anyone had any delusions after the horrific, inconsistent start this year for the offense, but it’s officially over now, so all we need to hope for now is for McCarthy and the offense to stay on track and have success, and for the defense to continue to play well. Also, let’s hope KOC continues to call a game that gives his young QB and the offense the best opportunity for success, as he wasn’t doing that prior to last week.
In the end, I hate the Cowboys and I will NEVER root for my team to lose, so just win, baby! SKOL!!!!!!!!

Nice win. Good night 😴
Our QB outplayed theirs
That was fun
It is when JJ (QB) doesn’t suck.
Hope he keeps that up.
JJ deserves to kneel this one out. Played good tonight.
That’s game!
Thread is scheduled for morning. See y’all then!
Sleep good.
Just a kneel down away.
Now I can text condolences to my son in Bismarck.
Hitman getting old, should have caught that one.
Dallas with the FG. Onside upcoming.
I shouldn’t be nervous.
I am, though.
Two of us…..
I am with you brother.
Viking PTSD.
Just get this over with.
We don’t need any stinking onsides kick screwup.
Shit, Isaiah Rogers is hurt. Hopefully just the wind knocked out.
Looked like grabbing his arm. Not sure though
Hitman almost had that. grrrr
He had a good game today
H Smith JUST missed an interception.
Grandpa dropped the ball…
Still a great game
WR had a nice breakup on that. Otherwise, he would’ve had it.
Very good stuff.
Lets not give a long return ok?
out of the end zone, smart.
Boot this kickoff as far out of the end zone as possible
Jeez he is money on his kicks
Whew, was watching for TV wires.
Ricola nails it. Dude has ice in his veins.
Money!
Sure, lets make the FG a little more difficult.
Now is not the time to screw up Will the Thrill.
#nojinxsquared
Do we punt
Damn, need to nail this 50 yarder or the Cowboys get the ball back around midfield. I don’t like this at all.
Loss of 4 to make it a harder field goal.
Yeah, not feeling good about this. I know Ricola is money, but so was Gary Anderson.
3 runs and a FG gives an 11 point lead with about no time on the clock.
Yes, yes, yes.
Feels good to be on the other end of ‘run it down their throats.
Wait, he was done right?
No fumble??
He was down.
ok, good.
That should be game
Dallas is challenging the call, but even Stevie Wonder knows that the runner was down.
Victory formation upcoming.
Might need another first down
Not quite. 2 minute warning will stop the clock.
I didn’t like seeing the gun on 4th and a foot, but I liked the play call they made from it.
Agreed.
One more first down will win it.
Yikes, converted on 4th down. That should be the ball game.
#nojinx
We have ‘Priors’.
Priors is a great way to say that. LOL.
4th and 1 Vikings going for it.
Don’t do anything stupid KOC.
Straight off tackle for 3. Yes!!
Players dropping left and right
It is a tough, physical game played by big, fast, strong men.
Most of us mortals would not survive it.
Nice stop
Greenard is the king of almost sacks.
AKA the King of Pressure.
He’s short
4th and 7, Dallas going for it?
Yes they are.
Looks short.
More shitty kickoff coverage.
Penalty helps a little.
More evidence that our KR coverage unit sucks. We got lucky & got bailed out by a penalty.
Nailor, JJ, TD.
Nice.
Good stuff
McCarthy looking good again tonight. If he can keep this up against the Lions & Packers, we may have a legit reason for optimism.
TD Us,
31 – 23
Hell of a throw to Hock. Topped off the drive with a TD throw to Nailor (I hardly know her).
Hock making plays!!
Nice drive by the Vikes here.
The announcers are shocked that Aubrey missed a 59 yard FG. These two are dumber than hell.
Now lets take advantage and get some more points
Missed FG by Cow Patties, you hate to see that.
#grin
Miss by Aubrey! The sack was the catalyst.
Moar Gooder Sack!!
Sack of Dak, that knocked them way back for a FG.
