Cowboys vs Vikings | Week 9 Gameday Chatter Thread | 11/3/13

[Smitty]

Eh, I'd take a close win, because yes, it is hard to win in this league, but -- and 95% of the time this gripe is misplaced -- we really did ignore the running game way too much today. Inexcusable.

Garrett is not calling the plays but he needs to realize this is a problem and step in and do something about it.

 

[Carl]

Personally, I am happy for Romo; a 90 yard game winning drive.

As an aside, Rex Ryan is a good coach, bit of a clown, but a good coach.

And that Wilkerson fellow might be the best defensive player in the league.

 

[dallen]

I hate having to pull for Rivers

 

[Genghis Khan]

I see they couldn't get a Saints sweatshirt big enough to disguise Rob's gut.

I'm amazed that Andy Reid found a Chiefs shirt that actually looks big on him. It's got to be two curtains sown together at this point.

Screw that win. The fact that they had to go down to the wire against a pathetic team like the Vikings should tell you all you need to know about the Cowboys.

It was a home game at that. If this game were played in Minnesota they'd have lost.

Truth.

Romo is clutch. CBS just said so

I demand an explanation for that squib kick.

Off the basis of that play, I essentially wanted the Vikings to win so that squib kick gets scrutinized.

Well then, there you have it.

 

[Bob Roberts]

Feh. It's a conference win, I will not complain.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Yep. I was hoping that he'd get fired so that we could hire him after the season. Looks like he saved his job though.

Rex is the classic coach that makes more out of his team than the talent should allow. We have the opposite right now.

"95% of the time this gripe is misplaced."

51 pass attempts

9 rush attempts

In a game that was a one possession game for approx. 95% of the game.

They love making things harder on themselves.

The return man is dangerous and the Dallas kick offs today have not been deep enough.

This is one of my problems with the "Romo is a choker" crowd. No one will remember this game, but he just did what everyone complains he never does, and he actually does it a lot.

The return man is dangerous and the Dallos kick offs today have not been deep enough.

Bailey is 2nd in the league in touchbacks, there is no excuse for not kicking it deep there.

Because Cordarelle is one of only two game-winners that the Vikings have.

By far the biggest reason why we struggled with the Vikings pass rush at times.

Bullshit. Bailey can get a touchback 9/10 times and we got cute because of the 10%.

He wasn't' t today.
