Cowboys Postgame

[Pondering Her Percy]

Hughes was really bad tonight, and that was the biggest story on D.

Cook was unbelieveable.

We win the game against the No. 1 offense in the NFL on their field, and that's your takeaway? That Mike Hughes was the biggest story on D?

I was thinking the biggest story on defense was holding Zeke Elliott to 47 yards on 20 carries. But hey, one-dimensional teams win all the time, right?

No less WITHOUT Joseph

[Pondering Her Percy]

Yeah cousins was pretty good too

Good luck getting him to admit that.

oh I’m sure there will be something along the lines of “Dallas is average”, “it wasn’t a big game”, “cousins yardage mostly came on screens”, “he still held the ball too long”, etc. Same song and dance

[Pondering Her Percy]

I wasnt the biggest Matt supporter and I will have a plate of crow. He plays better than his draft position and his time. This crow is sweet.

Ayyyyyy!! Hahaha nothing wrong with eating some tasty crow here and there!! Hey I’ve been there before man but if I’m wrong for good reason, I’ll eat a crow buffet any day of the week lol

Sources said Linval Joseph -- who's out tonight with a knee injury, and is missing just his second game since 2015 -- had surgery on his meniscus this week. People I talked to seemed hopeful it won't be a long-term thing: strib.mn/36SkiTP


It come down to the last play but a big win!

Jeez maybe back after the bye then? I hope

Nice win in a tough venue. All dome games other than SD from here on out and I think that bodes well.

Cousins did a good job tonight with a lot of pressure. They were smart to use the screen frequently as Dallas is one of the best teams in generating pressure with their front 4. Cook was lights out.

Hughes was picked on a lot tonight although some were just great plays by Dallas, especially the sideline passes. Even though the defense didn’t play great they held when needed. Glad the team was able to bounce back and get an away win in prime time.

[Bowhunting Viking]

Just waiting for a certain person to come on here, get on his soapbox, or better yet his Stump, and start slamming Cousins and other players he doesnt care for and stay slamming them, regardless of the effort they lagged to the win. It's a daily occurence so just anxious to see what it is this week.
I know so times there may be a player who all doesn't perform well and does seem like a liability that week, and it is ok to call them out THAT week. But seeing the same ppl call out the same players every single opportunity they get regardless of the success or the good or even great play of that player that week just because of a personal hate or vendetta against that player starts to get old and irritating after the constant postings. Seems like it some members eyes it doesnt matter how well a certain player plays or performs, they will be made the scapegoat because of some personal hate or vendetta against the player. Seems like for some members, no matter how well a certain player performs, that member will always be sure and dig as hard as possible to find negativity and criticism ofbs certain player. Too bad.. cause support should be given when due, and also support and positivity given when it is due. Some just aren't willing to do that obviously. Too bad. I find it more fulfilling than to be positive and optimistic as opposed to constantly being constantly negative about our players and confrontational with other members. Some ppl just enjoy being pot stirrers and enjoy starting arguments and dissention among other members and get them riled up. Glad I'm at the age I see the counterproductiveness of it and don't join in in it.
It's ok to disagree productively, but to try and bait and draw another into a stupid argument is not only counterproductive and spiteful its Childress.

[Bowhunting Viking]

That's Childess, bot Childress. Although same thing basically haha

[CharVike]

Very nice win. Our D did there job which gave us the win. Holding Zeke to basically nothing is very hard to do. I tip my hat to them. Cousins finally won a prime time game for the first time in his career. Maybe he's turning the corner. No all the corners have already been turned. Again our D did exactly what they needed to do. Make that stiff QB beat you. He can't do it alone. That's exactly what I was hoping for. Another home prime time loss for that loser Cowboy QB. Good job D it came down to what that piece did and they took away the Cowboy's only offense which is hand it to Zeke. Our OC finally decided to use what we are best at and punched it in on 4th and goal. I'm sure someone else told him what to do. He probably wanted to throw a go route to Diggs.

I said early on that Dallas was grossly overrated. They went 3-0 and everyone drooled over them but they beat the giants, dolphins and redskins. And the cowboys got beat by the jets. They aren’t very good at all IMO.

. the NFL officials , well, officially SUCK!!!! I am SO SICK and TIRED of watching these idiots blow calls, favor certain teams.. G.B., cough, Dallas, hiccup, New England, fidget, . Its absolutely ridiculous how we watch them favor the darling teams, blow calls, and now just basically make their calls relying on instant replay to make their calls correct . I myself am sick and tired of it. My best friend and I, he is a Bears fan, texted during game about how on some of the obvious screw job calls against us, Collinsworth pretty much said they were terrible calls by actually remaining silent. Its ridiculous and I am sick of it. If I were a fan of one of the favored teams I wouldn't be upset, but man we get the screw job about every wk.

Everyone has already indicated the good and bad players of the game, so I'll focus on this point.

I was yelling at the TV during the GB game for that brutal, game-changing call that they gave Rodgers for getting tackled in his own EZ after not converting a key 3rd down. That was such BS and very illustrative of how biased the refs are in Lambeau, especially when it comes to protecting Rodgers.

Then in our game: 1) Cooper made an insane catch, but he DEFINITELY pushed off on Hughes. They then review it and of course don't change the call. When Collinsworth said "they don't make too many changes of calls on PI via instant replay" I said out loud (to no one) "unless you're the Packers playing the Vikings".
2) The holding call on Harry on a HUGE 3rd down was such bull feces.

There were other calls, but those two were the most egregious.

Gotta give four game balls: 1) Rudy 2) Cook 3) Cousins and 4) Run D (Jaleel did way better than I expected, filling in for Linval).

No one has defended this defense more than me and I expect them to stop Zeke.

Hughes getting abused was the only reason Dallas was in that game, which is why I feel it is the biggest story.

Yes! Me too! that Packers officiating was horrendous.

But I honestly thought the defense played okay despite some miscues. The defense was clearly designed to shut Zeke down and Zimmer decided to stick with man coverage. Also Dak had >4 seconds to throw on most of those plays due to his mobility(and lack of holding calls). Hughes did what he could but being forced to man a wr like Cooper is a difficult task.

I was in my basement man cave watching the game , and my wife went to bed fairly early. So about 3 times I had to grab one of my Viking pillows to scream into due to some of those horrible officiating calls that were made against us. I didn't want wake the wife up and get my game side kick, my dog, barking. So n.v the pillow took the verbal abuse.
I will give Cooper credit on his Carter like catch and toe drag, but if wouldn't have been possible without the Pearson like push off.
The call against Harry was absolutely ridiculous, and I watched so many blatant holds by the Dallas O lineman.
And as usual, Rodgers and the Pukers got ALL the help they needed at Lambeau as usual. That is just a given that crybaby Erin will ALWAYS get the calls to keep them in the game.
I said it during the game chat that that stupid little biceps Hochuli and his crew morphed into the 2nd coming of Pete Morelli and his crew last night.
Thankfully we get the next GB game at home. But we will still need to go off and be WAY ahead or the zebras will help them.
And it amazes me how certain announces, i.e. Collinsworth,, Joe Buck and others seem to remain strangely silent when an obvious bad or missed call is made by the Zebras is made against the Vikes, but always seem to point out if a questionable call is made in the Vikes favor??? It just really gets my blood boiling.
Ok I gotta calm down here and just savor the win, and skip having another cup of coffee.
I took a vacation day day because of the Vikes playing prime time, so let's just say I prob shoulda had a little less Stout than I did, but it was all medicinal to keep the blood pressure down.
