Dallas Cowboys Preseason Schedule Week 4 – Vikings
Once again the Dallas Cowboys starters shined in the first half of week 3′s game against the 49ers. Dallas Cowboys Marion Barber and Felix Jones were like thunder and lightning. Marion Barber thundered over the 49er defenders, and Felix Jones lightening quick moves almost broke him free for a big play. That was the upside of the Cowboys loss to the 49ers. Once the backup players got in the Cowboys looked absolutely terrible, WR Isaiah Stanback fumbled a pass from QB Jon Kitna in the 4th quarter that cost the Cowboys the game, and also may cost Stanback his football career with the Dallas Cowboys. After the 49ers field goal from Stanback’s fumble, backup CB Courtney Brown made the worst play of the game when he tackled a receiver before he had a chance to make a play on the ball. The resulting pass interference call jump started the 49ers drive that later ended up in a touchdown for the win.
This week the Dallas Cowboys will face the Minnesota Vikings and the man, the myth, the legend, Brett Favre and his big bag of nothing that he has carried with him for the last couple of seasons. The Vikings locker room is reported to be divided between QB Brett Favre and then the rest of the team. Apparently the Vikings players want Tarvaris Jackson to be the starter instead, you know since he actually went to training camp.

AAAAh, the vikings are going to kick our asses all over the place! Peterson, Taylor bla bla bla. Are you out of your mind? This vikings team package is probably the best football team the NFL has seen is 25 years. I love you cowboys but………….you might as well stay home for this one. Another factor might be that the Vikings have a killer defence. Put that together with The Cowboys 2nd, 3rd and forth string players! AHHHHH, hands down, Vikings 21 Dallas 3.
Yeah, I agree with you Patrick, our only chance will be if the Vikings don’t play any of their starters either. I heard Favre won’t be taking any snaps, and wonder how much their top 2 running backs will play. Either way the Cowboys have no depth.
