One More Hour... then we're in for some real violence.

New thread? :(

 

[aerolaw]

could someone post the inactives?

 

[Andy Herron]

Inactives

Safety Pat Watkins is active for the first time since spraining a posterior cruciate ligament in his knee Dec. 13 against San Diego.

With Watkins up, rookie safety Mike Hamlin is inactive.

Also inactive are cornerback Cletis Gordon, guard Montrae Holland, center Duke Preston, tackle Pat McQuistan, linebacker Jason Williams and linebacker Curtis Johnson. Stephen McGee is the third quarterback.

For the Vikings, wide receiver Jaymar Johnson, cornerback Karl Paymah, tight end Garrett Mills, center Jon Cooper, linebacker J Leman, defensive end Jayme Mitchell and defensive tackle Letroy Guion are inactive. Sage Rosenfels is the third quarterback.

New thread?

Yes, there's no reason to turn a pre-game thread into a game thread. That's 3-4 pages of posts prior to kickoff that game thread readers will not care about (and may get annoyed at).

agreed, glad there's a new thread

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Let's get this out of the way.........THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PENALTIES THIS GAME.

The crew reffing this game call the most in the NFL. So let's not act surprised when it happens to our team today. Let's hope by games end it's called both ways.

 

[ArcticEdge]

Dallas acting like a fool, with their pants on the ground, pants on the ground, pants on the ground...

 

[Mr. Yuk]

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Impressed at the number of Viking fans posting in this thread......

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Enjoy the game everyone.

FWIW, I am leaning MIN.

My pick:

MIN 31

DAL 27

I'm expecting a great game either way.

 

[Jobber]

I'm so nervous I can hardly sit still. Regardless of the turnout of this game, these teams are gonna have their hands full with New Orleans.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Enjoy the game everyone.FWIW, I am leaning MIN.My pick:MIN 31DAL 27I'm expecting a great game either way.

Come on, Jeff! I don't mind the Vikings pick but they're not scoring over 30 on Dallas.........

 

[ScottyFargo]

SKOL

 

[Andy Herron]

That was a different twist.

 

[joffer]

Dallas 24-17

 

[Mr. Yuk]

Oopsie Romo

 

[ScottyFargo]

Chokeromo

 

[Zow]

We're getting pressure... about time!!

 

[madviking10]

PLUS 1

 

[Ariakis]

Wow strong start then not sure wtf Romo was thinking on 1st down and then the predictable run and now a fumble. Strong start for momentum just swung in the worst possible way.

 

[Jobber]

WOW.

I missed the replay. Was it close and will Dallas challenge?

 

[ArcticEdge]

That a boy Kevin!!!!

 

[Ghost Rider]

Good stop by Minnesota after Dallas had put together a nice drive.

What was up with Jared Allen following that last 1st down play? It looked like he took a swipe at someone after the play, but the announcers didn't even talk about it, and no replay was shown.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Turnovers IMO were the only thing where Dallas could legit lose the game, well...

MN 1

DA 0

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

The fumble isn't the end of the world. It was 4th down coming up and outside FG range. The fumble probably cost 20 yards in field position.

Nice stop by the Vikings on what seemed to be like a drive the Cowboys would at least get a FG attempt.

Didn't see it either

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Even if Romo were down, I think Wade is smart to hold on to his challenges in what should be a tight game.

 

[Britney Spears]

:horn:

 

[Ariakis]

Pinning the Vikes deep changes the complexion of their possession but now we need the D to step up

Agree the draw on second down there was stupid.

 

[joffer]

brett ducked a big hit there

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Mr Favre...Mr Ware...Mr Ware...Mr Favre...WOW

3 and out for the Vikes, real defense in Dallas, what a way to start the game.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

3 and OUT BABY.

Let's go D....

 

[Ariakis]

Hope Ware is OK ... need him healthy but so far so good on defense.

 

[McJose]

Favre just avoided a broken hip right there.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Ends up being a meaningless turnover. Not a good start for the Minnesota offense.

 

[Mr. Yuk]

Ware went head first into McKinnies back, a little neck pain perhaps

 

[ffldrew]

You would think that the Vikes would account for Ware in the pass blocking scheme on every play - someone is going to get chewed out for that miss.
