Cowboys @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 13

[S197]

If college can review targeting, personal fouls should be reviewable as well. I'm glad the Team fought and didn't just fold. The Cowboys are making a mistake keeping Prescott, anyone would look good handing the ball to Elliott behind that line.

"may or may not...since he's unlikely...even if...he probably won't..."

Substantive stuff.

You don't know.

OK Smartass.

He has a significant injury which is career threatening. We DONT KNOW if he will come back from that.

The Vikings indicate that they DONT EXPECT HIM BACK next year in their public comments about Bradford and the importance of the 2nd year. We DONT KNOW for sure that he won't be back, we do know they don't expect him back.

We DO KNOW that is contract is up after that, and the Vikings will have to address the position long term BEFORE then or go into the season with a guy returning from catastophic injury as their presumed started

Perhaps your reasoning skills aren't too sharp, but most of us can read between the lines.

Every play is basically a coin flip on what penalty will or will not be called. That's why it seems so suspicious when plays like this one happen. I hope the internet provides us with a GIF or a video mash-up of other quarterbacks getting hit the same way and getting the flag this year.

[TSonn]

Vikings do have an "easy" schedule to end the season. What's 10-6 worth?

Not much unless the Lions drop 3 games.

[Barry]

One long pass play, one muffed punt, one long run - 7 points, 7 points and 3 points.

The defense played lights out, the punter had an awful night, and the O line and O play calling had a typical night.

This team would be dangerous with an offense.

[Nunin]

and hell yes play AD!
the guy hasn't played much at all in 2years...dude needs reps if he feels he can go.

[purplehaze]

You just proved his point. If it was a lack of a follow through then, yes, that can cause a ball to sail high.

Well, I guess we will just have to disagree.

Probably a higher pick in the draft for Philly...

[The-Purple-Reign]

So what if the ball was thrown before the blow to the head? That makes no difference on what could have happened on our final play to tie... I don't get how anyone can't understand that that missed call couldn't have made the difference...

We just need an offensive line. Even get an average line and Bradford will take advantage of our playmakers on offense. Especially if AD is back.

[Crax]

Refs didn't miss it, just are blind

Bradford said the referee told him he didn't get hit in the face mask.

[The-Purple-Reign]

No, I wouldn't say it cost us the game. It only cost us a chance at another shot to tie the game. You can't say that if they called it we would have won.

Very true. I miss spoke, it cost us the chance in overtime. And that's significant.

they are debating why the pass sailed high. evidently there are people posting here that haven't thrown many footballs, or baseballs, or rocks at anything.

That's what I think. An average offense would make this defense 5 ppg better.

I think the team would be far more dangerous with more consistency in all facets of the game. The offensive line has serious talent issues, but the entire team struggles with basic consistency and in my view all have contributed to the loses this year.
