Living in Dallas and being a fan I hear most of what the players say in their press confrences. I never heard any player say anything beyond the Vickings were a great team and probably the biggest challange they had faced all year. What flexing did you hear?
Was at the game. I'm talking about actual flexing, posing, and taunting. It was done by quite a few Cowboy players... and was watched by a lot of the Vikings players, staff, and fans.
And running out the clock is not considered disrespectfull in the NFL. 99% of the time teams run the ball once or twice and then take a knee to finish the game. It was second down with less then 2 min so there was zero threat. Vikings have the right to try for one more score but lets call a spade a spade, it was a snub. They had their panties in wad becuase the press had down what they alwasy do, jump on the band wagon of which ever team seems hot at the moment. the way the Vikings have been chest thumping over this I you would think they had been the underdog instead of favorites.
Have you ever played? It always feels like disrespect when you're on the losing end. As mad as you feel at giving up more points, I never played to be disregarded even in losing.
The Cowboys have kicked Farves ass most of his career and he wanted to a parting shot. Thats fine but he should at least have the balls to own up to it.
I went you one further. I claimed that this was a classic playoff matchup, going back a long way. The teams have bad blood. The last time they played in the playoffs, the Cowboys were accused of running up the score. The 1975 "Hail Mary" play. Countless tough and very physical games. The Hershel Walker trade. Real, imagined, hyped... even Favre's personal record sure. Bottom line is that it's the Defenses job to stop the other team, not the other team's offense.
For the Record, I Think Terry Was Right, not Jimmy.

It's less that I feel bad for the Cowboys (and more their fans) than I'm disappointed in the Vikes

The Catch didn't make up 32 points, and The Comeback took more than the two minute warning.

If you think they're still in it, ice it with the FG; if you don't, kneel down and go home.
