TO's "100"%...?
Hmmm...
Let's hope!
My only hope for today is that Glenn gets some significant action - hopefully the go-ahead TD late in the 4th. :-)
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 3:39 PM CST reply actions
Ok, how about...
the winning TD late in the 1st quarter?
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 3:43 PM CST up reply actions
Oh my
i've never been more pumped about a football game since, well, forever...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Jan 13, 2008 3:42 PM CST reply actions
I wish..
there was a way for us all to be in the same room together, watching on a 60" Plasma TV. I need people to hi-five when something great happens! :)
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 3:44 PM CST reply actions
let's go Romo!
somebody said you're so cool, you can go into a bar, sink the eight-ball in the corner pocket and leave with the hot girl....
well...time to get the girl, grab the money and run!
let's do it C boys!
White out
Good to see the crowd followed through...you never know how it's going to be with a Dallas crowd.
by TonyT on Jan 13, 2008 3:46 PM CST reply actions
Here we go...
bad call
two bad penaltie calls have gone against Dallas.
should have been intentional grounding on Eli, and should not have been offsides on Ware.
Dang, 1st down
get a stop defense
Wow, unbelievable
Still don't think we need CB in first round ?
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 3:56 PM CST reply actions
We absolutely need a CB
and I want us to go after Asante Samuel in free agency. Move Henry to playing nickel.
man. toomer is HELLA slow...
can't believe we let that fool run 52 yards...let's do an Archie Belle and Tighten up D!
Do you guys realize...
that all 3 teams who scored first this weekend have gone on to lose? Maybe this is a good omen.
by mongol on Jan 13, 2008 4:00 PM CST reply actions
Well that was less than stellar
ugh
T Glenn?
Where was Terry on that 1st series?
Roy.....outmustled again.
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 4:09 PM CST reply actions
Man they are running the ball on us
not a good sign
It's always the guy off the bench
that kills us.
First game it was Ward.
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 4:11 PM CST up reply actions
Roy
continuing to make plays for the other team. Just sad.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Jan 13, 2008 4:10 PM CST reply actions
an Olineman can do that
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Jan 13, 2008 4:11 PM CST up reply actions
Finally got a stop
and we start
on the 4 - super.
This reeks of a Romo INT.
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 4:13 PM CST up reply actions
Okay
come on Romo, let's go...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Jan 13, 2008 4:13 PM CST reply actions
wow....
this is like waking up in Pulp Fiction, tied up, inside of Zed's basement...
this game couldn't have started any worse...
T.Glenn
I fell a long TG pass coming on.
T Newman
Why would he even go around the ball on the punt there? It's not as if he was going to pick it up and run with it.
Oh man...
Barber looks ready to take it to the house.
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 4:15 PM CST reply actions
MB3!!!!!!!!!!!
Marion is THE MAN!!!!
Geaux BARBER!!!
WOOOO HOOOO MBIII Train...hop on.
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 4:17 PM CST reply actions
Thank You
I was saying the same thing.
He could win the "Just Shut Up" award on the Mike and Mike show every week.
We needed that run by MB3...
and another for 11!
by paulfv on Jan 13, 2008 4:18 PM CST reply actions
Get your head in the game Columbo!!
Here's what I want...
play action, quick outside strike to TO, he runs it in.
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 4:21 PM CST reply actions
After this TD....
The defense will step up
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wasted challenge, sweet.
What was that quote...
about wanting to punch Coughlin in the face...?
And how the hell would Strahan see it from where he was?!!!
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 4:25 PM CST reply actions
Glenn?
Has anyone seen him on the field?
Yeah, I saw him in the slot
by Dave Halprin on Jan 13, 2008 4:26 PM CST up reply actions
We have the momentum now -- wooohooo!!!
Weak challenge by NYG; no way that will be reversed
by paulfv on Jan 13, 2008 4:26 PM CST reply actions
Okay Terry, I feel better now
I just had to see some of that ROmo to TO magic. BTW guys, I just figured out: JuJO starting = The cowboys slow starts. MB3 rules!!!
that was a lovely drive
well, they didn't score in the first quarter, but the first play of the second quarter.
Did you see Romo recognize the corner blitz
then audibled because he knew T.O. would be singled up. Nive.
ehh...nice
by Dave Halprin on Jan 13, 2008 4:27 PM CST up reply actions
DeFense needs to smack Eli silly right now.
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 4:27 PM CST reply actions
Well that settles it...
I have to stay in my computer chair now...
Up until this drive I was going back and forth between my recliner and the computer...
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 4:28 PM CST reply actions
I had to grab my laptop!
So I could post while watching the game.
Now, if the D can follow the lead of the offense
and settle down and play smart, we'll be fine.
Seems like D has the yips a bit....
They need to stuff the run
by Dave Halprin on Jan 13, 2008 4:29 PM CST up reply actions
C'mon guys...
let's make sure the Manning brothers are playing golf next week.
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 4:28 PM CST reply actions
time for the D
to step it up!
Alright
let's go Ware and co.
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Jan 13, 2008 4:29 PM CST reply actions
what is it with commercials showing QBs
getting nailed? There's a Pepsi Max (Romo), State Farm and Lite beer.
An interception would be nice about now
Just thinking the same thing
turnover right now would be beautiful
by TonyT on Jan 13, 2008 4:32 PM CST up reply actions
There you go Spencer
Another offsides
That was holding
Canty!
Canty deny Canty
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 4:35 PM CST reply actions
Yeah, baby! Nice Stop and great QB pressures.
With this kind of pressure, we'll get INT soon enough.
Extra man on the field for Dallas..
A Mr. Mo Mentum.
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 4:35 PM CST reply actions
Manning will throw 2 INT's Today
And one will go for a TD.
let's go barber
keep at it brah...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Jan 13, 2008 4:37 PM CST reply actions
We're in control now...
...let's just get a score now and we're set!
by paulfv on Jan 13, 2008 4:37 PM CST reply actions
cool....another DB down...lol
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 4:39 PM CST reply actions
We're back...
to hurting people with our offense.
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 4:40 PM CST up reply actions
Except for the false start...
The O line is playing really good.
Love the pass/run
Nice mix Garrett's got right now.
by TonyT on Jan 13, 2008 4:41 PM CST reply actions
Ooof.
He always looks like he's one guy away from going the length of the field
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 4:43 PM CST reply actions
How was that not a personal foul on Pierce????
Can not touch the QB after he gives up, plus he's swinging haymakers at Gurode.
Giants Defense
is frustrated and are acting like thugs.
by Ron in VA on Jan 13, 2008 4:47 PM CST reply actions
And ANOTHER Gints LB pushed back by MB3
I love how he patted him on the helmet afterwards
by paulfv on Jan 13, 2008 4:48 PM CST reply actions
Woo hoo, Terry Glenn!
what a move.....he's back
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 4:49 PM CST reply actions
Boy is that good to see or what?!
Whew, thank goodness he dropped that
Time for Romo to find Whitten over the middle
Nice blitz pickup MB3
Is it me....
or were there only 3 possessions the whole quarter?
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 4:54 PM CST reply actions
the giants are bullys...
and you gotta smack bullys in the mouth to put 'em in their place....
that's exactly what we're doing...
The good thing about starting deep
is you get a long drive to pound down the defense and tire them out, and figure them out as well
MB3 stretching...I hope he's OK
We need him in there right now
we need a TD after this drive..yeesh..
seems like we've had the ball the entire quarter...
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 4:56 PM CST reply actions
We are 5 for 5 on 3rd down on this drive
and that is how you win games. If we can keep this going, the Giants D will be sucking wind before the end of the 3rd quarter.
True true
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Jan 13, 2008 4:57 PM CST up reply actions
This is a damn good drive.
Apart from that almost-INT, we've done everything right.
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Jan 13, 2008 4:56 PM CST reply actions
10:00 minutes so far
and about to execute the 20th play of the drive.
by Nelson @ Blogging The Boys on Jan 13, 2008 5:00 PM CST up reply actions
come on...down to their 3rd string DB's
enough of the same ole play JG...mix it up..
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 4:59 PM CST reply actions
Rollout with option to run or pass...
...off of a playfake
by paulfv on Jan 13, 2008 5:01 PM CST reply actions
I want a big dose of MBII in 2nd half...
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 5:02 PM CST reply actions
That's what I'm talkin about
MB3, just give him the ball
They'll review it, but it's a TD!!
It's our game now...
just don't give up anything before the half ends, and we're in perfect shape
by paulfv on Jan 13, 2008 5:03 PM CST reply actions
I was in the bathroom...
who called for the review?
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 5:04 PM CST reply actions
That's insane.
we had the ball practically the entire quarter.
Giants D has to be sucking wind.
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 5:07 PM CST up reply actions
Newman and co.
come on, make a play here...
by Longhorn @ Blogging The Boys on Jan 13, 2008 5:08 PM CST reply actions
Ok D...
don't let them run down the field in 5 or 6 plays now...
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 5:08 PM CST reply actions
Steve Smith?
Someone get him
yeah....we sure need an upgrade at nickle CB
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 5:10 PM CST reply actions
cool....Buress reinjures right ankle...lol
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 5:11 PM CST reply actions
Does Eli
have to do that little 'Damnit' head bob EVERY time he misses a pass?
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 5:11 PM CST reply actions
Roy was beat...again on that play
Reeves burnt again...
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 5:12 PM CST reply actions
Yeah they found something
over on the left side of the defense in front of the CB but behind the LB.
by Dave Halprin on Jan 13, 2008 5:13 PM CST up reply actions
terrible defense....it makes me sick..
by BoyzRback07 on Jan 13, 2008 5:13 PM CST reply actions
JESUS.
Seems like anyone who wants to heave it down the field 5 or 6 times against our secondary has a complete green light to do so...
What a waste of a quarter.
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 5:13 PM CST reply actions
Screw it.
Burress is toast - just get double coverage on Toomer, PLEASE.
by Pete on Jan 13, 2008 5:14 PM CST reply actions
THe fox sports radio guys are making me ill
they are such HUGE Cowboys haters it is driving me bezerk
by paulfv on Jan 13, 2008 5:15 PM CST reply actions
I've got the sound down and am listening to...
the radio, to hear other sports talk.
The hosts are Lincoln Kennedy (former NFL player) and some Chowderhead loser named Dan Moriarty.
They both are rooting like crazy for NYG (like most of the media). They bitched about both DAL TD's, and are basically gleeful that the Giants just scored.
When Dallas wins, all you media POS can suck it.
So sick of the Cowboys hate
by paulfv on Jan 13, 2008 5:20 PM CST up reply actions
Come on chicken littles
We have gotten a few stops on their offense. They haven't proven they can do a thing on our offense.
At least we get the ball to start the 2nd half
Give them a HUGE dose of MB3 to start the 3rd!!
Roy Williams & Jacques Reeves Shouldn't Be Back
by jmangell0830 on Jan 13, 2008 5:16 PM CST reply actions
Roy didn't blow that coverage
It was all Reeves
by APerfectStar on Jan 13, 2008 5:21 PM CST up reply actions
Pathetic defense
Absolutely disgusting. How do they let that happen? It's not like they had to protect against the run. I can't believe what I just saw.
by Rob Zuber on Jan 13, 2008 5:16 PM CST reply actions
I don't look at it that way
It didn't TAKE us 10 minutes to score, we just ate up the clock which makes their defense tired. I'm thinking we could strike fast if we wanted to.
Gotta wear their defense down
A long scoring drive right out of halftime will go a long way to winning the second half.
Don't sweat it Cowboys fans.

USE THE NEW OPEN THREAD

Poor scheming
Very vanilla 4 man rush scheme gave Manning all day to throw. We just gave away all that Mo
