Replying to: kirstie_h (Jan 14, 2008 8:10 am) LT? Antonio Gates? I'd say that's some star power right there. Those two are arguably the best TE and RB in the game right now. If they play as well as they did yesterday, without some of their star power, then we've got an awesome game on our hands against NE. One game at a time! -moo |

Replying to: rockylee (Jan 13, 2008 9:15 pm) San Diego only plays phenomenal games against the Colts, and Giants aren't consistently good enough to win at Lambeau in January, so I think it's going to be a really good Packers-Patriots Super Bowl, with the Pack falling just a bit short of the upset.

Replying to: bumpy (Jan 14, 2008 10:57 am) My heart tells me that I really want to see San Diego win everything. I want to see them play the most phenomenal football the world has seen for 2 more games. I want to see Green Bay meet them in the Super Bowl and put on a barnburner. What I don't want to see is New England roll over whoever they end up playing. I want to bet on the game.....and I want to choose SD for everything, but you can't bet with your heart. Can you? -moo |

The Giants looked to want it more and played fairly well I thought. The Cowboys were off in all key areas, played and executed poorly. The Giants controlled the offensive and defensive line of scrimmage through most of the game, were able to put pressure on Romo. I thought the Cowboys screwed up by not putting more pressure on Eli... especially at the end of the first half. No pressure AND open receivers equal touchdown in 48 seconds. I don't know what the hell was going on in several of those fourth quarter drives by the Cowboys, but it looked like their receivers weren't completing their routes... that included T.O who couldn't take advantage of his 1:1 coverage. T.O beats his man, Romo underthrow. Romo makes a good pass and Dallas recievers give up on their route. In an earlier post I wrote Romo had to be smarter with the ball. Well, he wasn't. There were 3 times in the last quarter he rolled out of the pocket under pressure, instead of getting rid of the ball he tries to make a play and gets sacked for big losses. Then later, while in the pocket and under very little pressure, he throws the ball away resulting in an intentioal grounding penalty. Get smarter bonehead... quit thinking of Jessica Simpson's beautiful, sexy, hot body.... and think about...err.... uhh... football! Despite all of the above, the Cowbodys had a chance to steal a victory on their final two possesions when the Giants went conservative. Bad coaching decision when not using that time out when Romo made that shovel pass completion for big yardage. That cost them 8-10 seconds they could have used for two more plays. Getting caught inbounds on a sideline patten another bonehead move. Cowboys missed a golden opportunity, if they had won this game I think they would have handled the Packers fairly easily. I'll be pulling for the Packers next week. Hope the Patsies get upset.

Replying to: jipster (Jan 14, 2008 12:56 pm) The receiving corp should go back to school. I can't believe how many easy catches they dropped and didn't run their routes completely. The offensive line was pathetic in the second half, no wonder Romo was pissed after the same guy kept getting through and rushing him. In the end it came to who executed best and the Giants took the game. They were a better team in this game and deserved to win. I keep telling Mack Jr.: "It's only a game, it's only a game." "Next season we'll be ok."

Replying to: mackabee (Jan 14, 2008 3:15 pm) Jipster commented on receivers not completing their routes on Dallas. I saw that too. Just ugliness. The Giants certainly seemed to want it more though. I'm pulling for a San Diego upset. -moo

Replying to: madmanmoo (Jan 15, 2008 5:59 am) And as Rocky noted, it wasn't all Romo's fault. This was a total team defeat. Offense, defense, special teams... coaching... they all kind of sucked. I thought Marion Barber ran the ball pretty well (missed a couple blocks though) considering he wasn't given much. I think he'll be a free agent, hope the Cowboys can sign him as I think he's a top notch running back.
