Cowboys @ Giants: News Links About The Enemy

PrintThe time is drawing near, the Cowboys season is on the line this Sunday at MetLife Stadium when they battle the Giants for the NFC East title and a trip to the playoffs. I'm sure we all wish it didn't come down to this, that the Cowboys had already clinched a post-season spot, but here it is anyway. We know what's going with the Cowboys, but what about the Giants? I decided to tour some New York-flavored sites to see how they're preparing for the big game.
Remember the blown coverages by the Giants in the last game against the Cowboys? Dez Bryant and Laurent Robinson getting free for big scores? Well, the Giants remember that too, and in their last game against the Jets they decided to simplify their defensive game plan and coverages. Safety Deon Grant explains:
"(Perry Fewell) went back to the old ways. He solidified: ‘Regardless of they give us A, B, C or D, this is what we’re doing,’ " safety Deon Grant said on Monday. "Before, trying to protect certain people or whatever the case may be, we had a different call for A, a different call for B and so on."Guys mentally were faster with it (against the Jets). That’s the way it was last year and in the beginning of the season this year."
We'll see if Jason Garrett and Tony Romo can exploit this plan in a way Mark Sanchez and company could not.
More...
Via Big Blue View, we hear of Eli Manning's struggles over the last two games. Even though the Giants beat the Jets, Eli's numbers were underwhelming. They reference a New York Times article which has a lot more detail about Manning's poor games over the last couple of weeks. They compare and contrast Manning and Tony Romo:
Still, a hiccup from the offense was not what the Giants wanted heading into such a meaningful regular-season finale. The quarterback matchup is always crucial, and Romo, who threw four touchdown passes against the Giants on Dec. 11, is expected to play despite hitting his throwing hand on a helmet in the Cowboys’ loss to Philadelphia on Saturday.
Romo has a history of playing through pain — he played part of this season wearing a Kevlar vest after sustaining a punctured lung and fractured rib — and for all the criticism he takes from Cowboys fans, his performance this season has been impressive.
In 15 games, Romo has completed 65.4 percent of his passes, thrown for 3,895 yards and totaled 29 touchdown passes, with only 9 interceptions. His 102.2 quarterback rating is fourth highest in the N.F.L. — about 12 points better than Manning’s.
Of course, Manning’s showings the past two weeks have dragged down his season average. In a loss to the Washington Redskins, Manning did not throw a touchdown pass and was intercepted three times. Against the Jets, it was his 33.3 completion percentage that hurt most.
The New York Daily News has a 7-point plan for beating Dallas. Nothing earth-shaking in the article but nice to see that they recognize DeMarcus Ware instead of Jason Pierre-Paul as the most dangerous player on the field.
One thing I wish was different about this game is that it would be played at home in JerryWorld instead of on the road. But, as it turns out, the Giants have not been very good at home.
They are just 3-4 in front of their home fans, including three absolute stinkers against the Redskins, Eagles and Seahawks.
Even in big games at home with a lot to play for, they have a tendency to fall flat on their face....with the exception of 2008 when they were 7-1 at old Giants Stadium, Tom Coughlin’s teams have been mediocre (33-30) in the Meadowlands. They’ve looked even worse this year.
That's nice to hear.
Big Blue View has three scenarios for the outcome of the game. Their most-likely scenario?
3. The Nail-Biter Scenario -- For me, this is the most likely. This one comes down to the final few minutes, and could very well come down to a decisive play (good or bad) by Giants quarterback Eli Manning or Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. This is also the "there will be lots of bridge-jumping during the game in the BBV Game Thread followed by a) mocking of the Cowboys or b) calls for Tom Coughlin's firing" scenario.
And finally, Justin Tuck still hates the Cowboys. Yeah, we still hate you, too, Justin.

I see Nicks has popped up on the early injury report
with a hammy. Manningham misses as well. I’d be shocked if Nicks didn’t play, but if he’s on one leg, Newman may have a shot of keeping up with him. Or, maybe not.
This year, I could beat Newman for 8 yards on a third and 7
Most disappointing player of the year (IMO).

my head tells me things don't look good. we haven't won a sunday night match-up in what feels like ages.
but i’m choosing to have faith. i think we’re due. go cowboys.
The problem is that both teams are in the same boat
Both clubs struggle so much .Both fan bases think their team’s lack significant pieces to go far. And both fan bases are right. Whoever wins on Sunday hosts a playoff game that they likely won’t be favored in. And if they survive that, they get to go to Lambeau.
Neither team is fully clicking. But someone has to win, right?
Its not a given to goto lambeau

nygmen123: Stopped the Pats on the first series. Planted Brady twice. Guess what gang? This team isn't quitting. Or making excuses.
Simms-McC: Yeah -- I wish the Giants were more like the Eagles

Cruz and his stupid dance (although I’ll admit it’s pretty creative), Coughlin and his I look like I just drank a fifth of vodka face, Ahmad Bradshaw and his stupid touchdown spike, Pierre Paul and his idiotic youtube backflip video, Antrel Rolle and his predictable postgame quotes, Akumura Prince (the only Prince I rock with in New York is Prince Akeem and the Zamunda Nation!), Chris Canty and his bloated contract, the stupid stadium name, … I hate everything about this team. Everything…
Besides that tho … I have no problem with the Giants!

Entertainment is a weird thing: it can both pit strangers against each other in one setting, but make them instant friends in different context.

On Sunday night, watch out for that burst of rounds that will take your horse below. With the Cowboy who’s ridin’ him, that as he gazes at the sky, his body will be numb and his throat is dry. And as the Cowboy lay forgotten and alone, without a tear he’ll draw his parting groan. :-)

Nice.
The Giants sweat with fear – they break to run
The mighty roar of the Cowboys’ guns
And as the Giants race towards the season’s wall
The screams of pain as the Giants fall.
They hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Cowboys fire another round
The Giants get so near yet so far away
The Giants won’t live to fight another day.

You know the way the season has gone for both teams..
Its Dallas’s turn to enjoy the roller coaster going up! You beat us at home so therefore the coaster will balance out and we will beat you at home, not good enough well we lost last week and you won last week time for our avg teams to do the opposite from the previous week.
Sorry guys its just averages and its our turn.

Only if we would have beat the iggles last week.
We had a self-inflicted fight last week about if we should rest players against the iggles to prepare for you.
We had some of our own fans who did not care about a chance at the wild card and wanted to lay down against the iggles. SMH.

"That's Jason's decision, but he doesn't need to be making that one by himself." --Jerry Jones, 12-26-11
That Jerruh line made me so angry I couldn't see straight.
For all of you who thought Garrett has control and the final say this proves he doesn’t and never did.
Jerruh is a little boy that wants to play with his toy and will never share. We are stuck with him and his lousy GM job until the day he dies.
"I hope you have a big trunk, 'cuz I'm putting my bike in it."
"History is history. Cowboys have a rich history and the Eagles suck." - DIRE WOLF
Yeah.
All that stuff last year about Jason having final say and all that was just a PR move. Obviously, Jason doesn’t even have control over who plays in the game (see sideline lecture).
I just wonder if and when Garrett has had enough of not only putting up with Jones’ conduct and/or explaining the weirdness to the media.
"That's Jason's decision, but he doesn't need to be making that one by himself." --Jerry Jones, 12-26-11

I think they're bluffing
They played that vanilla coverage against Sanchez, and maybe it’s true that it was easier for them, so they stuck with it for the game.
They won’t do it against Romo, they know he would torch them for 450+ if they did. They just leaked it to the press that they are going to stick with vanilla to try and trick up our guys’ preparation in the film room and gameplanning.

Which is quite fresh, juicy and yummy…the spicy fries really kick butt. That’s really what puts the combo over the top.
And at every Five Guys I’ve been to, they take very good care of the veggies, so that’s a huge plus.

OK i'm just missing it
I’m in the Denver metro area and I like 5 Guys but maybe we just have other options that I like better (though they are more expensive). I tend to like buffalo burgers from places like Ted’s Montana Grill (not a fast food place though).

You gotta compare five guys to a fast food place
It all comes down to expectations and comparable’s. Five guys gives you a great burger and fries (plenty of them too) for a buck more than any fast food place and the quality is leaps and bounds better than any of them can offer.
In fact I think five guys makes a better burger and cheaper too than most chain restaurants too.
Now specialty restaurants sure might make a better burger like Smokey bones near me but then you are paying for it too and have to have a waitress and tip and all that.
Want a great burger, quick, no hassle, fresh, and cheap.. five guys it is

this year… no matter what the end…. Mr Tony Romo has built my faith, maybe even stronger, as much as he has overcome and his efforts even in defeat, in ways could not be totally attributed to him. Our defense. play calling, turnovers, penalties at worst times, bounce of the ball, injuries, no off season much, young offensive line, not much continuity ,
HOW IN THE HELL….. were we even able to manage a shot at the division and playoffs at this late stage…….

I also heard he was being hidden for the media during practice and was brought out briefly to throw.
I bet he will play, and be fine. Unless he gets hit and falls on it or something. It will still be injured on Sunday and any more trauma to it and he may not be able to make it through the game.

I actually have zero worries about him or Kowalski playing
I like the idea of Dockery getting the nod for a couple of reasons.
1. His size. Like you said TCF, he should hold up a lot better against guys like Canty and Bernard.
2. Kowalski is the back up center. If Killer were starting at LG and Costa went down, then they would have to shuffle Killer over to center and bring in Dockery. Since Dockery gets the start, if Costa goes down then you are making 1 adjustment instead of 2.

Did the Giants win because...
their D was that good or was it because Sanchez flat out sucks? I tend to lean towards the latter. Simplify a simple D for simple people. Does that usually work? Afraid not!
question's not really on.
Should be about the Giants defense.
I agree Sanchez is a 2nd-rate QB. But still, they have some decent receivers and RBs and are 9th in the league in scoring.
Our defense is just an enigma. Dallas’s offense is better than the Jets. It could go different ways. We could hold Cows to 80 yards rushing, get two interceptions, and hold them to 20 or less. Or you could rush for 200, pass for 4 TDs, and score 38 points.
there are a million truisms about who wins games and why.
I’m going to go with, who brings the fight harder and for the full 60 minutes.
As a Giants fan, I believe if the Giants put out their best effort on both sides of the ball, that’s better than the same from Dallas. I’m sure you feel the opposite!

not "did the Giants win b/c"
The Giants won because they were way better in all aspects of the game.
The officials flat out stole 4 turnovers from us, including a run-back for a TD, and gave the Jets 7 on a terrible hold against the defender who would have stopped Sanchize, not to mention BS pass interference calls on us and none on them.
First half was a bit of chess, but the 2nd half the Giants dominated in every way. With decent officiating that game was 43-10.

If you had an above average QB throwing 60 times in a game…they are scoring more than 10 points.
see: Saints 641, Giants -10
my only point was that we didn’t win the game because of Sanchez. We won the game because we played better in all facets.

Glad you brought it up.
I dont normally blame the refs but they have been flat out terrible this year to a lot of teams. And are making more calls on reputation than actual foul.
I will scream if I see Ware get tackled for the 100th time and no call.
Lets hope the Refs call a fair game, either very heavy on flags or very light and nothing like that Texan Colt last drive stuff either.

"Obviously, I felt like if I ran into my lineman there it was going to help the play" ~Tony Romo
Gotta ask because I watched the game:
Which 4 turnovers did they steal from you???? And which of those automatically resulted in touchdowns. Just curious because I believe that without a doubt they have HD in the replay booth. Eli with the exception of an 11 yard pass to Victor Cruz … threw for like 33% and less then 150 yards. I would have to say that is a below par game for him… add that to it was preceded by a sad performance against the skins… no TDs and 3 INTs. What I don’t understand is how on god’s green earth does a QB with less TDs and More INTs and a 12 pt drop in passer rating get in the pro-bowl over the 4th ranked QB in the league.
RexP
I know you are going to say it... was 99 yards but
the pass was for 11 and Cruz tacked on 88 more because of some sloppy tackling
RexP
Did you watch the game?
The definite TD was a catch and short run, followed by the receiver’s elbos coming down on a DB’s foot, the ball bouncing up to a cb who ran it in for a TD.
I can’t find a video link for you. the CB was aaron Ross.

I think all the fourth quarter comebacks this year, 5 I believe,
Is what is sticking in people’s minds. Add in that Eli has at least tied, may have broken by now, the record for fourth quarter TD’s thrown in one season with 14 or 15. Top that off with the highest passer rating in the fourth quarter, and you have a QB who has been pretty F-in impressive when it matters most.
Add in the two games that Romo gifted to the opposition, the Jets and DET, and that too sticks in coaches and players minds.
That is what has made the difference in the voting, IMO. Or these same players and coaches who voted Romo as one of the 100 best players of 2010 even though he only played a handful of games, and didn’t vote for Eli as one of the best players of 2010, have just dramatically changed their minds in short order.

ya know
this simplifying a defense for simple people could be attributable to our defense as well. If you read between the lines of what Rob Ryan has said over the course of the season you (at least I do) draw the conclusion to that his players are just not athletically or mentally able to execute his scheme. I’ve tended to think the latter but I have no proof.

I DON'T like the Giants in this one...
I like the Cowboys – I’ll say it again – how do you pick a team that was swept by the worst team in the division to win the division? Did GB get swept by the Vikings?
They need to stop our running game, yet it seems like Felix always runs for these 40+ running plays vs NYG. They played well against him last year, but gave up 70 yards on a screen pass. They gave up 100 yards in the 1st half last game.
Eli’s comeback performances have come late in the game against really bad teams. They get up for big games, and it seems like the only weapon they have now is Cruz, Ballard, Manningham and Nicks are all playing injured or out.
The Cowboys will focus on OL protection this week since Philly exposed them last week. They will bounce back and focus on winning the game in the trenches. The Cowboys know they are deserving of the NFC East title and the Giants know they are not.
Have you noticed that Manning doesn’t run anymore? They don’t let him run because he fumbles so much, and he still has 20 turnovers.

Eli's comebacks are against REALLY bad teams.
God I hate it when the easiest things to remember, or look up, are F-ed up.
First of all, late game comebacks are GOOD, period.
Eli led fourth quarter comebacks against NE, 12-3, #1 seed in AFC, who your boys LOST to.
NYJ, 8-7, winning record, won three straight, who your boys LOST to.
@ PHI, 7-8 who your boys LOST to twice. (See a trend here?)
@ ARZ, 7-8, who are 5-2 at home, who your boys LOST to.
@ DAL, 8-7 best comeback of the year, possibly, though the one in NE was pretty dagone sweet as well.
And hung with the almighty AR and GB right until the final tick on the clock.
Not too shabby

Harris on punts/kickoffs
As much as I like seeing Dez and Felix with big returns… we’re running a little low on depth if both of them get injured. I like seeing Harris back there again… he seems to be back to his potential as a punt/kick returner and JoeD has them working together as good as ever.
No doubt we have the best kickers in the NFL as well.
You need to be great in all 3 areas, we are getting pretty balanced…
Harris was a great returner in college. It looks like he played with a new lease on his football life on Saturday.

+100 with Terry, Dire, et. al.
Worry about the draft next year. If we win, we hang another NFC East title. If, and that is a big if, we win we get into the playoffs relatively healthy compared to the league norm this year. If we win one playoff game this year, I personaly will consider this a relatively successfull season.
I know that their are many here who think that any year we do not go the the Superbowl is a miserable failure, but no team goes every year. Given what we have had to work with, one playoff win would put a smile on my face anyway. JMHO

Why is Romo throwing the ball on Wednesday?
The Cowboys are and have always been the worst team in the league at healing injuries.
Newman is always hurt because he is a Cowboy.
Austin pulled his hammy all season long because he is a Cowboy.
Felix Jones hurt again…
It’s called rest…REST!…let inujuries heal.
Miles Austin catches a big gainer AFTER coming back from a pulled hamstring, and in mid-stride re-aggrivates it? Are you kidding me.
Get these guys healed…Romo throwing “OK” for lack of a negative word out of Garrett tells me he’s probably slowing the healing for a one and done game Sunday night…
Just dumb.
not dumb, Romo needs to practice because of the timing he needs with his receivers
Throwing the ball isn’t going to make the injury any worse…the swelling will come down a lot this week….no big deal IMO
In Romo we Trust
If he aint got his timing down by now, it's a lost cause.
You don’t know if his swelling will come down or not, he has broken blood vessels in his hand, the hand needs rest.

Not practicing for a week can throw off a qbs timing a lot
and yes I do know the swelling will come down, he has the best trainers in the world working on his hand…he’ll be fine.
In Romo we Trust
I thought Austin
pulled his other hamstring when he came back, not aggravated the old one. Am I wrong?

You are right.

MIles did not
re-injure the same hamstring, he hurt the other one. Also believe I saw a quote from LR to the effect you couldn’t tell TR’s hand was hurt from the way he was throwing at practice.
I don't make mistakes...just understandable bad choices
his hand is still swollen, he was using a glove
I just hope McGee is getting reps…
Working a bruised area the wrong way
only aggrivates the bruise…
The Cowboys are really risking a lot of hand grip and stregth if they work Romo too much too soon…
But hey, what’s another 24 hours rest anyway?
I'm sure the Cowboys have people who know about this type of thing

I have always wondered how much the "medical staff" of a team actually does know
I tend to think it’s not as much as we would all like to believe. I think team medical staff’s primary interest is to how to get a player back in the game.
Get ready for a lot of the shotgun formations, it's easy on the hands.

you might be right there...
listening to the Garrett interview now… his hand is still swollen, he was taking reps without the glove. McGee got most of the reps today… they don’t want to work Romo in too quickly, they don’t want to aggravate it.
Playoff picture
I wouldn’t put $ on it… but maybe, just maybe the NFC Championship game is in SF and Dallas is the underdog again, just like 1992 (Jan ’93). It could happen. There might not be any upsets this year, except Dallas, and once we beat NY, I could see us beating Detroit and Green Bay. I doubt that SF has any playoff success, but if they did, it would be a nice rematch and both Harbaugh and Garrett could have a lot of playoff success.
Sure – they haven’t proved anything yet, but they have clearly learned as they’ve been around some pretty decent organizations. Interesting… Garrett played under Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer, Harbaugh under Ditka. Those teams/coaches were pretty good at the time – Cowboys- mid-90’s, Bear’s late 80’s.
There I said it… if it happens you know who to give credit to.
Oh yeah, I’m focused on beating the Giants though…
well... its no wonder everyone thinks Romo is the worst QB ever...
he plays for the Cowboys and we’ve been criticizing him since he was a backup to Bledsoe… McGee cannot become the next Aaron Rodgers, he even outperformed Romo and still wasn’t good enough… its like you say, the OL line is to blame.
We could probably start Dez at QB and still beat NYG on Sunday…
hate dallas but....
may the best team win ya

Like I said before... might want to get used to the idea that Romo might not play
He’s limited in practice and the swelling is not going down quickly…
If McGee wasn’t a better option than McNabb, he wouldn’t be the #2 QB… time to rally around McGee
The only reason McGee is our #2 is because Kitna is on IR.
Make no mistake, McGee would be #3 if Kitna was healthy.

If you actually think McGee has even a 1% chance of playing Sun you're beyond delusional
Romo WILL play Sunday….end of story
In Romo we Trust
Felix is expected to start, no? Heard some scuttlebutt about an injury of his but I wasn't sure
And is Sammy Morris still the backup RB?
Not that it likely matters, I could see either of those guys, well hopefully not Morris, having big games against my NYG.
Thanks
I'm down with J.T., Osi, and JPP.
Dallas will win this game only if ,
they have the " Balls " , no time for weakness or quitters.
are they brave enough to finally win a " Big One " ?.

i actually met jerry
at the team hotel, in LA back in ’92. nice guy. told him to “bring ’em back in january.”
But did you get drunk with him and take pictures with the ladies?
There was no facebook or twitter back then but you can always scan the prints and link them here.

nah
just saw him in the lobby of the team hotel. after i told him to bring ‘em back in january, he responded with, "we’re sure gonna try." ended up costing me $1,400, ’cause i was compelled to go to the ’bowl, being that it was local. glad they won!
