and Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here and joining me on the show.

We were just joking that I'm a first time, a long time, a big fan of Bob Sturm, writes for the

athletic, also the ticket in Dallas to talk Vikings and

Cowboys. What is up Bob? I am a big fan. I am actually a fan boy of yours. I've

read your work for a long time. Oh, thank you so much. I appreciate it and certainly the follow has been mutual and love the way you handle the Vikings.

So, happy to be with you and it should be a fun week.

Yeah, this is an interesting one.

The last time the Vikings and Cowboys played,

it was the Cooper Rush game that was one of the sort of bricks

that tied to Mike Zimmer's ankle that sunk him to the bottom was that loss because of the way that it came about with Cooper Rush leading a game winning drive and the Vikings last year were whatever the opposite of clutch is and this year just every late game has gone their way but I did get a chance to see Dallas while I was in the Buffalo Airport,

loosed to the Green Bay Packers at the end.

I want you to just give me kind of a status of the feeling

right now with Dallas, because I think that everyone

was kind of riding high with Dac back and maybe that was a bit of a gut punch.

Well yeah, you know, six and two at the by week, they felt great.

You know, they felt like they had the best defense in the NFL they thought they had their

quarterback back and they also thought that Odell Beckham might be on the roster real soon so

a lot was vibing if you will entering this ninth game at Green Bay and you know frankly

as a as a born and raised cheese head I fully expected they would have no problem

dispatching the Packer team I have seen all season just look ridiculous

offensively in so many ways.

And so that game, you know, it starts in Lambo is kind of lifeless
