Thursday nights on the road are the hardest games to win. This isnt shocking that its a really close game.

Vikes offense is horrible tonight ..Defense and Dallas mistakes making it close

 

[guyver1]

Yeah I wouldn't say the offense did the job for Vikes, Defense..Cowboys made too many mistakes..So this game was Dallas control..ugly win, but they are still on top.

Vikes are still not there in offense against good teams

This was a very hard fought game. Vikings really needed it and came up a bit short.

It's weird that the Giants beat the Cowboys and the Cowboys beat every team the Giants lost to.

Yep, road game in December. I was wary of this game, even though Minnesota wasn't at full strength...teams like this are like cornered animals. Good to see Dallas gut out a win.

Vikings O has been average all year. In four of their six wins, they've needed defensive or special teams TDs to win:

Game 1 vs. Tennessee: INT return and fumble return for TDs, spurring a comeback win after being down 10-0
Game 3 vs. Carolina: Safety and subsequent punt return for TD on the free kick, spurring a comeback win after being down 10-0
Game 5 vs. Houston: Punt return TD (to be fair, Minny was already up when they scored the punt return TD)
Game vs. Arizona: INT return and kickoff return for TDs

Yeah they did a stat during the Thursday Night game on their O line, mostly Rookies or starters injured..I guess that's why

Yeah, and Sam Bradford doesn't help either

Minnesota is like the Ravens, but with a ****tier offense

Remember when after the Vikings beat the Packers to go 2-0, all the analysts were gushing about Bradford and how he finally found a home in Norv Turner's system?

To be fair, that Vikings' line doesn't allow him time to hold the ball and let plays develop. Shoot, on one deep pass down the sideline (the one where Cordarelle Patterson got flagged for offensive PI) Bradford just launched the ball in the air before letting the play develop. They say that if your guy is even with the corner, throw the ball. But Patterson was still two steps behind the corner.

Really looking forward to the Giants/Steelers game on Sunday. That should be a hell of a heavy weight fight.

 

[BurningRage]

I hear the Steelers secondary is weak

And Jeff Fisher's extension is official. Two more years.

He's three defeats away from having the most losses in a career by a head coach...with the next three games against the Pats, Falcons, and Seahawks, he could very well own that distinction in three weeks.

 

[Darth Madden]

Whatever Fisher has on the Rams owners must be a whopper.

His agent is the the CEOs daddy.

Eric Berry with interception return for TD AND a two point INT return. Incredible. Those three AFC West teams will be tough in the playoffs.

What is crazy is that is the second time a AFCW team got scored on to go down in the game only to return the try for 2 points and pretty much end the game against a NFCS team.

Brady has become GOAT in QB wins

What can I say about Atlanta

So much for me thinking KC will probably be at best a WC they might get a first round playoff game. Raiders might get a bye

Pack are getting back in this, could be a WC

 

[user 1190]

Imagine the AFC west if SD had not blown games to the Saints, Dolphins and Colts.
