My stepson mentioned that but I saw Jones and Barber get some traction later in the game and thought they might be on to something.

Seems the 'delayed' handoffs didn't work, they could have just blasted away like Cowboys of Old and worn the Vikes defense down a bit. Like Emmitt, let the backs find the holes and gaps and turn them loose.

Easy to be a mondaymorning quarterback, but I miss the running plays. Have modern teams rendered the run obsolete? Peterson's every gain came with 3 or 4 Cowboys on his back. If backs can't move the ball, football will lose it's mojo.

I thought they needed to try the fake to Barber and toss to Jones to the side. Maybe a nice crossing route by Austin as a follow-up.

*sigh*
