Vikes to get a Dakless Dallas?

Fact of the matter is, you NEVER want to lose to the Cowboys. I don't care if Quincey Carter is QB'ing for them. Just beat them so we can get a W as well as not have to listen to those God awful Cowboy fans.

This is a much more important conference game than Brownies or Bengals...

5 North games remaining too.

The games are on the schedule to make a lot of noise.

Quincy Carter, that is a great memory.

If Minnesota can beat Dallas, it will go a long way to get the fanbase firmly back on the bandwagon. 

Cowboys keep insisting he's fine. Players keep saying he looks like Dak. No noticeable limp. But here's the thing I keep coming back to: you can't drug it, you can't tape it. You can't protect it at all. Like a hammy, it's just something that has to heal before you put any game-like stress on it. I think he sits. 

Still, I don't think it matters much. No doubt the Cowboys are a better team with Dak, but the Vikings have no film on Rush and their history against backup QBs is frightful.  

Vegas knows, Vegas always knows. The spread has moved a lot and it isn't because all the money is on Minnesota...

Nobody better than Vegas in predicting anything. Its a science that even scientists would marvel at. 

Yup, Vegas is amazing over the decades...

They truly do always know. 

I'm expecting Dak to play and I'm picking the Vikes to win it with a game ending FG.Vikings: 27Pokes: 24

His comment about this not being about 1 game is telling.  They have greater aspirations this year and won't risk it for one game.

and look at their remaining schedule,  all very winnable games for them at this time... you could say this game is the toughest on their schedule and it would be much better to get Dak healthy for games that they have a much higher probability of winning with him vs rushing him back for a game that is basically a coin flip at best for them if he plays.

Zimmer has proved his defense can fold like a tent to anybody.

That was a completely different team. Of the 11 players who started on defense against the Cowboys, only 2 remain. And despite starting below-league average players like Odenigbo, Jaleel, Stephen, Holmes, Troy Dye and Chris Jones, Dallas still needed a last minute drive to win. 

That said, the Cowboys are a much better team as well. They have Tyron Smith back at LT and their defense is a lot better. If Dak plays, I have no doubt this will be another one down to the wire. 

Dallas conceded the game essentially. And we still lost.
