Minnesota Vikings vs. Dallas Cowboys 2nd Half Game Thread: 20 Nov 2022

Vikings blog logo

It’s game day!!!! The 8-1 Minnesota Vikings are hosting the 6-3 Dallas Cowboys today at U.S. Bank Stadium. Mick provided a phenomenal game preview for you. The Cowboys are coming off of a loss against the Packers where the Cowboys had a bit of a meltdown and blew a big lead. The Vikings, as you know, are coming off of an improbable and almost miraculous comeback victory against the Buffalo Bills. I hope that Coach O’Connell can continue to buck the trends that have plagued the Vikings over the years, and that they are able to avoid a letdown after last week’s exhausting victory. We’ll find out shortly! SKOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, that was an abysmal absolute disaster of a first half. The regime didn’t get the memo that Dallas has a poor run D, and despite Dalvin doing well when he has the ball, they’ve decided to rely pretty much solely on Kirk Cousins, who has not done well. Yes, there’s been pressure. Teams will bring pressure. Kirk has had guys open on underneath routes, but has not pulled the trigger, and it’s resulted in 3 sacks, a lost fumble, and the Vikings are down by 23. KOC is going to have to pull off some of his 2nd-half comeback magic here. It still isn’t over, but the Vikings have a hole to dig out of. LET’S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who’s best left now? Only lost by 37 at home to Dallas so maybe the next best will only blow out the Vikings by 30

I blame this game mostly on the OC or gameplan or offensive strategy.

We should have been running more, since Dallas is open to getting gashed.

Then, it was obvious by the second quarter that kirk wasn’t going to settle down, he was holding the ball and not seeing open receivers, and he stimied himself every time he tried to run the play.
