Seriously? Giants in the Super Bowl?

[Romo 2 Austin]

Giants are in the SuperBowl... We were a better team, that could've been us....

[TheSport78]

No...we weren't a better team.

[reddyuta]

we are a better team? we are a better team?

[daboyzareback]

Stats and head to head says otherwise

[Romo 2 Austin]

we are a better team? we are a better team?

Yes we are.

[Doomsday]

There defense is much better than ours when it counts.

[The30YardSlant]

We don't have their heart and will to win

[JoeCorrado]

No...we weren't a better team.

No kidding. I am with you.

That "better team comment" made me laugh out loud. "We were the better team." Really?? REALLY????

What did I miss? :confused:

[Cajuncowboy]

If we don't Ice our own kicker, we are in the playoffs. We don't do much, but we are in the playoffs.

[Dmoore Esq]

Absoluetly no argument that we were the better team.

[jblaze2004]

yeah but that beat us twice which helped them get in the playoffs. All we had to do was beat them once. And we couldn't.

[tupperware]

Yes we are.
Parents should of told you the effects of drug abuse. This team is nowhere near the Giants. I know the Giants aren't all that, but once they get on a roll, they're near impossible to stop. Our team doesn't know the meaning of getting hot. They might sling together a game or two here and there to pull you in and then come crashing back down to earth a week later. We would of never done this in the playoffs.

[TheSport78]

No kidding. That made me laugh out loud. "We were the better team." Really??

What did I miss? :confused:

Homerism and frustration at its best!

[Deep_Freeze]

Sorry man, they proved this season they are a much better team than us.

[Cajuncowboy]

Yes we are.

No. During the season we both were pretty pathetic. But we don't have a team that is willing to go the extra mile to win games and we certainly don't have a defense.

[iowast8rs]

we were NOT the better in team. in fact, excluding the Broncos and Bangles, we weren't anywhere close to the teams in the playoffs.

[TheCoolFan]

:laugh2: The Giants have us beat in all aspects...it's not even close. Special teams might be a wash but I'd give the edge to Tynes due to his experience as a kicker

[DallasJ7]

We went 8-8. They beat us twice. They won 3 playoff games including 2 road playoff games.

And we're the better team? :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

[ka0tik]

we beat the niners. i still dont believe we are better than either of these two teams.

[ScipioCowboy]

Yes we are.

No, we're not.

The Giants are much better in the trenches, and have the receiving corp we envisioned the Cowboys would have.

The Giants' front office is miles ahead of the Cowboys' front office.

It's not pretty, but it's the truth.

[bbgun]

Giants are in the SuperBowl... We were a better team, that could've been us....

Seriously? We might have the pettiest fans in America.

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

:laugh2:

[johnnyd]

were not better .. but there not a super bowl team . another watered down champ todays nfl sucks

[WV Cowboy]

If Romo has SF's defense, we are still playing.

Smith sucks, but Williams cost them the game.

Watching those two teams play made me realize that we aren't better than either of those teams.

[kazzd58]

Its allllllllllllllllllll DALLAS FAULT!!!!!!!!

[jgboys1]

Not only are they going but they are going to blow out the Patriots. :banghead:


I must have used this :bang2: smilie about 100 times this season.

[theanimal23]

We are not the better team. Giants at their peak are better than the Cowboys. We wouldn't have advanced past the wild card weekend. Definitely wouldn't have won versus the Packers.

We aren't in the Giants league. We are what we are, an average team.

[DTK]

What's sad about this, is that Jerry Jones is thinking THE EXACT SAME THING!!

[Romo 2 Austin]

If we don't ice our own kicker like idiots we are in the playoffs and the Giants are nothing.

How does that make you feel? I certainly am not happy about it. I don't like to see our rivals succeed.

[Clove]

we are a better team? we are a better team?What are we better at?

[ScipioCowboy]

Sadly, I imagine Jerry harboring similar opinions to the OP.

"Oh, we had this team on the ropes! Dead to rights! We're only one or two players away..."

[Woods]

If we don't ice our own kicker like idiots we are in the playoffs and the Giants are nothing.

We have a ways to go before we are a championship calibre team. And it sucks to admit that.

[Romo 2 Austin]

Sadly, I imagine Jerry harboring similar opinions to the OP.

"Oh, we had this team on the ropes! Dead to rights! We're only one or two players away..."

Well if your talking about being one or two players away from beating the Giants you'd be right, and look where they are.

[jamesdojr]

I think we have more talent - which means nothing. I wouldn't trade any of their TEs for Witten. I wouldn't trade any of their Wideouts for Bryant or Austin. I wouldn't trade Eli for Romo. I wouldn't trade Bradshaw for Murray.

But they ARE a better TEAM. They work together better. They communicate better. They execute better. They know their playbooks better. Everyone is on the same page better. And everyone hustles better.

I hate the Giants but it's the truth. Now I need to go vomit over the fact that I have to look at Eli's dumb face for another 3 weeks.

That's what worries me most.

[junk]

What are we better at?

Choking when the game is on the line?

Getting hurdled?

That's all I've got.

[ScipioCowboy]

Well if your talking about being one or two players away from beating the Giants you'd be right, and look where they are.

Question: Where are the Cowboys better than the Giants? At what specific positions?

[StylisticS]

Sadly, I imagine Jerry harboring similar opinions to the OP.

"Oh, we had this team on the ropes! Dead to rights! We're only one or two players away..."

This quote depresses me. Please be wrong.

[MartinRamone]

What's sad about this, is that Jerry Jones is thinking THE EXACT SAME THING!!

Totally, in what world we are better than them? Their defense is 10 times better than ours, their OL is better than ours... I really dont get some fans.

[Deep_Freeze]

What's sad about this, is that Jerry Jones is thinking THE EXACT SAME THING!!

Probably the biggest problem we have

[Wolfpack]

The Giants have a Front Office whose main concern isn't Pole dancers, Party Passes and trading for washed up WRs.

[Romo 2 Austin]

Question: Where are the Cowboys better than the Giants? At what specific positions?

They are better at Oline, Dline and Secondary, we are better at QB, receiver, halfback, linebackers, st.

[jamesdojr]

This is the problem.....

They are better at Oline, Dline and Secondary, we are better at QB, receiver, halfback, linebackers, st.

[jimmy40]

They are better at Oline, Dline and Secondary, we are better at QB, receiver, halfback, linebackers, st.no way we're better at receiver and they lost about 5 dbacks

[ScipioCowboy]

They are better at Oline, Dline and Secondary, we are better at QB, receiver, halfback, linebackers, st.

The Cowboys might be better at quarterback and halfback.

But there's absolutely no indication the Cowboys are better at receiver. In fact, all statistical evidence suggests the contrary.

And while the Cowboys may be better at linebacker, they're inferior in the front seven overall and the secondary.

[2233boys]

I'd take Victor Cruz in a heartbeat. Manning is just as good of a Qb as Romo if not better. (two super bowls vs one playoff win). He also is the reason they are in the Super Bowl this year, no giving his D all the credit now. He has been clutch this year.

[StylisticS]

They are better at Oline, Dline and Secondary, we are better at QB, receiver, halfback, linebackers, st.

Are we? Nicks, Manningham, and Cruz was a heck of a trio this season. I love Dez, Miles, and what Laurent gave us this year. But I wouldn't be quick to say that our receivers are better. I still would take Dez over any of them. He has great potential hopefully starting in September 2012.

The funny thing about their secondary is that they lost Thomas for the year, Amukamara for the first half season, and Ross was banged up as well. Yet they performed solidly down the stretch with the addition of getting healthy at spots. If there is one thing we can take from these playoffs, it's that we need to address the secondary. Because NY's, 49ers, Patriots, and Ravens secondaries put our secondary to shame.

I think it is a wash

In order:

Nicks
Bryant
Austin
Cruz
Robinson
Manningham

It's really close between all of them.

Nonsense. The Giants MVP, the one player without whom New York doesn't win today, was #10 in red.

[yimyammer]

No...we weren't a better team.

we are a better team? we are a better team?

Ditto

[MetalHead]

We were not the better team by any stretch.
Better teams take matters personal.
Better teams finish first.
Better teams are allergic to losses.
Better teams don't hire nice guys.

When we had Irvin we had an assassin,winner at all costs.
We lack that,we do not have an assassin,a mofo,a leader.
That is what we lack.

You're crazy. This defense and offense may have gotten past the Falcons. May. But I doubt very seriously we would have beaten the Packers. Our defense didn't show it could stop a runny nose much less an offense like the Packers.

[jgboys1]

Yea. Our defense wouldn't have stood a snowball chance in hell against the packers offense.

[TheCoolFan]

This is what I wanted...now hopefully the Pats come through and finish them! Losing in the championship game or series is the most heartbreaking thing to happen for any team because it usually guarantees that they won't be able to come back the following season and surpass that success so it's like a double whammy.

[tyke1doe]

Nonsense. The Giants MVP, the one player without whom New York doesn't win today, was #10 in red.

I agree. The difference between the Giants and Niners were special teams and the quarterback.

When the Niners needed him, Smith couldn't move the ball. The Giants couldn't either, but Eli Manning at least got the Giants out of their own territory.

Alex Smith only had about nine completions. He was basically given a Tebow game plan, but, unlike Tebow, he couldn't deliver in the end.

Eli proved his worth during the playoffs. People can knock him if they want. But he's playing in his second Super Bowl. And he didn't wilt under the Niners furious defense.

Yep. Certain fans like to think that Manning is an average QB who benefits from great pass protection. Well, today he got knocked around worse than Tony has in quite some time and still came out on top.

He stood in there today and delivered some clutch passes as he was getting nailed.

Yep. And holds on to the ball, which may have been the most important part of his game today. I just had the feeling that Eli was confident he would win this game. I don't think Flacco felt that way today or Alex Smith.

[JonJon]

That would be nice, but since the Cowboys seem to be cursed and the Giants seem to be the luckiest team in the world, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Giants win it. It would be the ultimate conclusion to what has been a slap in the face season for all Cowboy fans.

[Blackspider214]

I'd trade our receivers for theirs in a heartbeat. How can people say our receiving core is better?

[TheCoolFan]

What Eli and Peyton seem to be great at is getting on the same page with their WRs. They just have incredible chemistry with whoever they're throwing to. With Eli it was Plaxico, Toomer, Steve Smith, Manningham, Nicks, Cruz, etc. It doesn't matter - someone can just step in and they'll produce. With Peyton it was Harrison, Wayne, Stokely, Gonzalez, Garcon, Collie, etc.

I don't know what they're doing during practice and in the film room but there's a trust between all of them. They know where to run their routes and where to expect the ball.

[Biggems]

Romo 2 Austin.....take a deep breath, swallow a chill pill, and relax.

The Giants are the better team. They beat us twice. They won the division. They won 3 playoff games and are headed to the SB.

It makes me sick to say it, but facts are facts. Their defense is far and away superior to ours. Their OL blocks better for their QB. Their WRs are more clutch.

Ever since the Dolphins game, the Giants have been clutch in close games. We on the other hand we choked away big 4th quarter leads all season long.

Throw your temper tantrum all you want.....toss your milk and cookies all over the floor.....but not of that will change the fact that we are an inferior team and organization to the NY Giants at this time.

[Sasquatch]

I'd trade our receivers for theirs in a heartbeat. How can people say our receiving core is better?

I think this is an exaggeration in the other extreme. They seem pretty comparable to me. Our trio had more TDs then theirs. Not sure about the yards, though. And if you include TE, I'd say the Cowboys receiving corps is the better overall unit though there's no denying the G-men have a talented corps of receivers.

Come to think of it, it would be very hard to pass up the Cruz-Nicks combo. I'd like to see Cruz do it another year before making the switch, though.

[BlueStar3398]

Sickening.

Some guy on my FB page is pulling for the Giants to win it all because some guy that went to high school here played for them back in the late 70s - early 80s. He needs to turn in his fan card.

[Tricericon]

I'm with R2A (ask me two years ago and I'd have never though I'd have said that. Some people do learn). The Cowboys had a better point differential against a similar schedule. Over the course of the year as a whole, we outplayed the Giants. They got swept by the Redskins, for crying out loud!

Not saying we've have made the same postseason run (in fact, it's pretty unlikely), but on the whole, for the 16 games we both played, we were better. When your data set is that small, you can't throw out older points in the interest of having more recent numbers - it will hurt your model. Everyone is focusing too much on the last month.

The makeup of both teams is what is more telling to me. Members here could argue all day about who scores more, who holds the other teams to less points, who has the better QB, better RBs, better WRs. What I do know is, this team seems to tuck its tail and run when the adversity comes galloping on the horizon. They get punched in the mouth and that's a wrap. They aren't nasty, they aren't gritty. We just sacked your QB? No problem, we'll dust off his shoulders and help him back up. They don't need to be all Harrison or Suh nasty, but a little healthy disrespect for the opposition could go a long way in to changing the attitude of this sissy team and defense.

The Giants just have that attitude that we lack and once they get on a roll, you can have some confidence that they're going to do everything to keep it going. When this team finally strings together a few solid wins it usually ends in a just as epic failure.

[SkinsandTerps]

Stats don't always tell the story.

Some of these options that some of you are saying lead to Eli is a better QB than Romo.

Interesting. We call that double-talk.

[Heisenberg]

They're significantly better on both lines. That's enough right there to say they're better than we are.

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

We have a better QB, but that's about it. The receiving cores are about the same, but NYG has a huge advantage in the trenches.

[Bloodbunny]

We have a newer stadium, but that's about it. NYG has a huge advantage in everything else.

Fixed it for you

[Joe Rod]

I don't see why it is so hard to believe. They swept Dallas, stomping them in to the ground the last game. The dominated the Falcons. They put a hurting on the team with the best record in football, Green Bay, on the road. They survived a slug fest with San Fran on the road at their house.

They will now go to play the number one seed from the AFC in the Superbowl. If they win, then they deserve to hoist that trophy.

[Doomsday101]

Kyle Williams screw ups on the punt returns was a blessing for the NY Giants, 10 points including the game winner came off of Williams mistakes

[Chocolate Lab]

Nonsense. The Giants MVP, the one player without whom New York doesn't win today, was #10 in red.

Yep. Eli has earned his due this year, no doubt. But let's not act like the Giants outplayed the Giants anywhere but in special teams. If Fair Catch Crayton is returning punts for the Niners yesterday, they win.

[bbgun]

Give me a break we saw Romo hit like that on a regular basis.

Tony's sacked six times per game on a regular basis? Fail. I'm not even including all the times Manning got pummeled after releasing the pass.

[Tom [Giants fan]]

how some here believe that Romo is no question a better QB than Eli. I'm not saying by any means that Eli is better than Romo, I would actually say they are pretty even. But it is amazing how some on here make it like it isn't even a debate.

:laugh2:
Come on now.

Romo played outerworldy in that first game vs the Giants...and we still managed to lose...at home.
They just plain beat us the second go-around.

[FootballFan1]

If you are there, then you deserve to be there. So, the Giants for sure belong there. I say the same for my Pats.

All year, I thought to myself, it is a rebuilding year. No way in hell did I ever think they would make it to the Super Bowl. I said, OK just get past Denver, because I am now in the position of putting Denver fans right up there with Pittsburgh fans. Plus I think their players play dirty - they hit to hurt. Don't like that one bit.

I feel really bad for the Ravens and 49ers. Really bad. What a lousy way to lose. Imagine being the Raven field goal kicker, or that young man from San Francisco fumbling on the kick-off. Imagine trying to wake up the next day and dealing with that!! In essence, one play which results in a loss for your team - that has to sit with them. Ouch. Would not want to wake up today and be one of them.

And Flaco actually played a much better game than Brady. Brady had a terrible game, yet we still won. Usually that never happens, it all sits on him. It must be such a relief to him to know he has team members that will pick it up and cover for him. Wilfork and Ben-Jarvis. Great stuff guys.

So to me, I don't want to hear that Flaco is a lousy QB - he played a great game. This Alex Smith guy, he seems like he is not the right guy for San Fran - no arm strength. In my opinion, they should think quickly about replacing that guy -- and bringing a SB home. Because otherwise, they are a seriously good team.

Pats vs Giants. OK. Obviously I want to win, just to stop the pain of the 2008 loss. But whatever, I am so surprised they are where they are, I will not lose any sleep over a loss.

Tough, tough loses for both the Ravens and 49ers. Those are games you lose sleep over. I feel for their teams, and fans. Ouch.

[Sasquatch]

He stole my thunder. I removed the old ladies in mine because -I- got tired of looking at them.

Kudos to you, sir, but I prefer to say I was inspired by your example rather than "stole" the idea for myself. Think the entire board should join in the fun.

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

No, we don't.

Yes we do. Room had a higher completion percentage, higher QB rating, and better TD/INT ratio. Manning is in the Super Bowl because he has a terrific defense and OL. Room doesn't have that luxury.

Manning doesn't have a terrific defense or a terrific OL.

Have you not watched their defense in the playoffs this year? They've been the best defense in the playoffs. They're allowing 13 ppg. The OL didn't play well yesterday, but the other 2 games they did.
