    4th down, what are they supposed to do? Take a knee? Kick a Field Goal?


    If you don't ****ing like it. Play Defense... you know... the thing you're paid millions of dollars to do.


    Don't whine like a b**** because you didn't do your job.


    This isn't Pee Wee league soccer.

    No. Cowboys should've played better D if they didn't like it. These are professional, grown men who are paid to play sports. If this was like middle school or something, then it would be uncalled for.

    I mildly voted yes because it could add fuel to Dallas fire in a future match-up. Which would be a dis-advantage for the Vikings.

    There was no need to do that.

    Again, what were they supposed to do?

    Take a knee on 4th down and goal with roughly less than 2 minutes to play?

    Kick a Field Goal?

    i'm a cowboys fan and i say no...it wasn't. cowboys defense just couldn't stop them. if brooking was upset about it, then he should be yelling at his own defensive players.

    I am baffled that grown-ass tough guys who makes millions of dollars on the field get their feelings hurt when a team scores on them when there is still enough time left in the game that they are completely justified in running their offense.

    It has nothing to do with "respect for the game" its more like getting your pride stomped on.


    Man the **** up.

    haha what

    No, it was totally called for. You get spanked like that and you get pissed about a last second TD with no bearing on the game? weak.

    Take the knee. But I don't have the hatred for the Cowboys like many of you do.

    I think the poll results would be different if the Cowboys were up 27-3 on the Vikings and threw a 4th down TD pass with less than 2 minutes left. People here would be ripping them for being classless.

    i'm not happy about that score, since the game was clearly over, but i agree with what moes said.

    i don't blame brooking for going after farve either, it's emotional and makes people angry, but the D can only blame themselves for that TD.

    You're 6 yards away from the goalline with a little under 2 minutes left you are completely justified in running your offense.



    Now if you're shooting for the end zone from midfield with 30 seconds left in a blowout thats a bit bush league.


    I'm not a huge Cowboys hater, I dislike their fans in most cases more than the actual team, but you can't say Favre was thinking "Wow I really need to stick this TD right up the Cowboys asses"

    So, what I've learned in this thread is that, if you get paid, being classy doesn't matter...got it. The Dallas D clearly let up on the gas pedal.
