Vikings Run Up The Score: Brooking vs. Pat Williams

[skinsfan69]

Let's just say we were playing that game against Minnesota yesterday. And it was us getting run up on. Everyone here would be crying like babies. Please.

Has anyone brought up the fact that with 2 minutes to go, down 24-3 and on their own ~30yard line, the cowboys went for it on 4th down? If they really thought the game was already over and it was just a matter of letting the clock run out, why not just punt the ball away? Why even risk giving the vikings that kind of field position? Obviously the cowboys were still playing as if they thought they could win, with maybe the exception of Keith "We're Gonna Bust'em In The Mouth" Brooking.

Well t be fair by punting away when down by that much that would be saying we give up. I never want for my team to give up no matter how slim of a chance they have of winning a game and it was also a playoff game on top of that.

I heard Ditka commenting own this issue this morning. Basically he said....This is the pro's. You get what the other guys can bring. If you don't like it...stop em'

I can see both sides. I would be pissed if I was a Dallas fan, but more for the fact they got handled all day long. As for the Vikings, it's the playoffs, you go 110% until the whistle blows. Let's face, it everybody takes some joy in stomping on "America's Team". The last score was a statement more than anything else.

Personally, I think Minnesota was pissed at how everyone in the media had given the Cowboys a pass and pretty much wrote off the Vikings. At the post game press conference, Childress mentioned how he told his team to just shut up and let all the cowboy coranation hype go by. He also said it was hard getting 50 athletes to "stifle it" after continually hearing about these "Tasmanian devils from north texas that are just going to rip through Minnesota".

And this from Vikes DT Pat Williams:
“They overlooked us,” Pat Williams said, “and that’s fine. Basically, that’s how they ride down there. I don’t blame them, I guess. They’re young. They can be cocky. They’ve got a cocky owner, so that’s how they ride. But they came into this dome, and it was hostile for them. ”

While it may not have been the "classiest" move, I think that final TD was big giant F*** you to the media and Cowboys from a team that had to listen to a bunch of crap all week long.

They were not "running up" the score, they were just scoring against a pathetic defensive performance. They ran 3 times before that pass, it's not as if they were taking shots down the field on every play and even if they were, it's the NFL. Play defense and shut up.

I would not have even cared if this happened against the Skins, if the D can't stop them, why should they play soft.

I can't stand Brooking. He's an arrogant showboater in his stupid pregame pep rallies and not as great of a player as ESPN props hi up to be with the rest of the team.

They were not running up the score they just ran out of field.

hahaha that was awesome FD

i do think the vikes ran the score up.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

I have no sympathy for the Cowboys. They couldn't stop Rice or the Vikings all day. Man up Brooking this is the NFL.

What's funny is the Cowboys complaining about class. They have no class. They never have they never will. So I say, good on you Vikes. Way to give the boys thier own medicine. And Brooking, STFU. You lost, move on. Keep your whining to yourself , and if you were worried about being classy you wouldn't have signed with the Cowpukes.

Basically sums up how I felt yesterday...

[Hamoskinz]

I've never understood this 'running up the score...' hoopla. Maybe its football thing. I've been on team that lost 63-10 in a one sided thrashing, and never once did a thought of the winning team being disrespectful etc... crossed my mind or any of my teammates. We were disappointed about our poor defensive effort than the opposing teams scoring a ton of tries.

But yet, when the Patriots ran up the score on the Redskins in 2007 (52-7) there was a "whiners thread" about it on this forum that was several pages long, calling Belicheck "classless".

As far as I am concerned, a win is a win whether the score is 20-19 or 200-19, at the end of the day it is still a "1" in the win column.

But if any of you guys want to complain that some people are "whining", look no further than that thread from 2007. My money is that some of you are criticizing Brooking, were whining louder than anyone after that Patriots game.

If your gonna "talk the talk" you need to "walk the walk" to have any credibility.

You won't find me whining in that thread.

And I still say that Brooking is a classless, immature sore loser.
