Cowboys - Vikings rivalry

[L.T. Fan]

Q

Not only are the Green Bay Packers kicking the Vikings’ ass in that rivalry, the Packers are better rivals to the Cowboys than the Vikings are.

yep. Goes all the way back to the frozen Tundra.

they played 30 times, remarkable they both have a 15 - 15 record.

It's not that remarkable.

If one of them has a 15-15 record against the other, what are the chances that the other team's record against this team is something like 28-2?

That would be truly remarkable.

The Vikings have never had any players I couldn’t stand. The Giants-easy....fag face Eli. Philly- Carson Wentz, Jeff Lurie, and Jim Schwartz. Redskins- all their fans, and basically every HC they hire. Packers- Aaron Rodgers, and Aaron Rodgers. Those are the big ones I think.

still hurts to see that play no matter what.

The four plays before that play should hurt lots more. The Walker trade should hurt lots more than anything else.

more than any player, I hate that end zone horn. Metrodome was accused of piping in fake noise.

Although this was pretty cool...

The only thing I hate about the Vikings is that godforsaken horn.

I do recall one game vs Vikings where Emmitt on pace to break the single game rushing record until he broke his finger right before halftime. I wanna day it was MNF right after Payton died.

It was. I was at that game. Troy Aikman was injured in that game, too. We were dominating that game until Emmitt went out right before half, and Troy went out right after the half. Jason Garrett came in and pissed it away.

Flozell Adams was hurt, too... Duane Clemons was getting manhandled by Flo all game and got frustrated. So he punched him in the sack.

1999, pretty sure.

He had 140 yards at the half, and it was like exactly half of Payton’s then single game rushing record.

Broke his hand stiff arming a defender’s face mask I think.

Al Michaels sounded both excited and incredulous that Emmitt was breaking away from and outrunning defenders. Started calling him “the great Emmitt Smith” that game. Aikman got concussed in the same game, as I recall.

Deion got called for a bogus PI vs Randy Moss I believe on a key late drive.

Ironically Emmitt also performed well in the playoffs vs the Vikings that same year, but the Vikings had too many weapons and we turned the ball over to them too often.

Aikman was basically done.

Yeah, it was called away from the ball, as George Teague got an interception inside the 5 yard line. Deion was called for illegal contact, and the Vikings kept the ball. Scoring a play or two later to take their first lead of the game, after being behind 17-0 when Emmitt then Troy got hurt. They ended up losing 27-17 with Garrett going 3-of-11 for four yards and an interception after Aikman left.

So, not only could he find ways to blow games as a coach, that fuck could do it as a player, too. I was at that game with a bunch of family members from Minnesota. It was not a fun drive home for me.
