SNF- Vikes @ Cowboys

....and old timers will appreciate this.

Dallas NOT wearing white at home? What gives...these were the uniforms you'd make them wear in the 70s and 80s because they didn't play well in them!!! LOL

Just had the same thought. Though in the old days, their blues were a lighter shade, almost baby blue. Not the same look.

First time EVER not wearing white at home?????

a catch by Rudolph.

Both OL and DL. How refreshing!

Kick their asses.

just destroys pursuit angles my goodness

IMHO

But I can’t help but watch this offense and think what could have been if Shurmur got Stefanski as his OC.

Are kicking their asses. A pleasure to watch real football after all.(Just avoid the Giants. Hello -- Eric?)

Garrett will be on extremely thin ice

genius Shurmur.

Could be, though the Vikes clearly are very good. Losses to New Orleans and the Jest, though, are hard to accept.

beneath the ice stands john mara ready to save him

as they are still in a position to make the playoffs, Garrett is on solid ground.

The blind, brain-dead refs? Is there a special school that does this to them? Like not knowing that was a forward pass?

Machine told me to wait and do it again.(??))

I wish Jones would move in the pocket as well as Zak can.

Surely right.

Either way, there's another sick ass sideline catch

the Cobb TD, the Rudolph TD, the Diggs catch...

And a Cooper TD on cue wow

I hate to admit it but he's good.

really bad there (obviously not this season). Jones likes someone malleable, Garrett is the perfect mix of decent HC who'll still eat a ton of shit from Jones and not walk.

with an equal push as Tate on the first 2 pt attempt, but loser teams get no calls

before the nice catch for TD. More of a shove than what Tate got called for on the two point conversion attempt.

On the subject of PI and inconsistency, Bruce Arians actually won another reversal today in a key situation that set up Bucs' winning TD.

Play initially looked like it could be tangled feet but replay showed Cards' DB rolled his body into Bucs WR's legs.

Nothing wrong with the reversal except there have been so many clear PIs not called on review.

To cap it off, Bucs committed blatant PI on last pass play of game that could have set up a Cards' FG to tie. Booth would not call it. Game over.

3rd down back? Both Cook & Mattison can catch but are much more explosive. And I'm all for more guys who can do it & giving experience especially in case of injury. But I don't get why they are so consistent sticking to AA on 3rd downs given these two awesome do it all RBs ahead of him

are more likely converted with those two over AA (tho he's a decent back, or has been in the past)

with a beautiful drive. So that's what a run game looks like.

Competitive disadvantage - if you're the NFL head of officiating, who are you going to tilt in favor of - Monty Burns Mara or the guy who pays for the stripper bus?

They’ll overturn a clear TD because they think someone’s butt touched a fraction of an inch before the goalline —

But when there is clear PI ... nothing to see here, the call stands!

This league is so fucking broken

Sounded upset that the Vikings scored a touchdown there. Wonder who he bet on?

Word. What’s up with that

Also, Rudolph mossed Chido

He's a Cowboy fan and does a poor job of concealing it.

But haha by the announcers.... seasons are determined by fucked up shit like that. Dak was sacked but no big deal we’ll just extend the drive

Pretty poor call on Smith.

its so inconsistent

Barkley would!

Flag came out after the sack

are SO much better than ours.

Loss is a Cowboy loss!!

Are absurd. These Refs are literally handing them the game

Always brightens the darkest of days.

...

To another 7-9 or 8-8 season. How surprising.

That doesn't do as much for me as it used to.

On another note, those blue unis, man, why would Dallas wear them at home, like, EVER?

He's got a real north-south burst. Barkley isn't in his class with that skill.

1. Cowboys fail to make playoffs
2. Cowboys fire Garrett
3. Giants fire Shurmur
4. Cowboys hire Lincoln Riley
5. Giants hire Garrett

That play-calling on 2nd and 2 from the 12 was unbelievable by Dallas.

Elliott looked awful. Looks like another RB who may be hitting the wall and might be vastly overpaid...

Exciting, terrific game. Prescott was awfully good -- better than our guy, at least for now. But no running game for Dallas. No Elliot, who they managed to stop. Vikes steady and very good with both pass and rush. That two point conversion made a field goal unavailable -- fortunately.

Jason Garrett stinks. Giants need to get the guy who scouted Smith, Martin, Frederick, and Lawrence.

How come they don't show Jerry Jones continually like they do when Dallas is winning?

Just ridiculous.

What was impressive about that game winning TD was the balls to run in on 4th down from the 2. And they got it easily. They really did a great job out-scheming the Dallas D by dominating the edge.

Since the Eagles made the playoffs, I don't like it.

2nd down? How about 3rd down with ANOTHER run....weak. They lost 2 and turned into 4th and 5.

On third down, ball has to be in the air twice...horrid play calling.

All night I thought Dak was going to pull it back and take off...never happened. And they kept stuffing EE.
