Cowboys Vs Giants ***Official Game Thread***

[Cbz40]

Please make all game related post in this thread. Thank You

[Haley94]

Let's get it on!!!!

[Cbz40]

Let's get it done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Haley94]

Here's to JJ being the X-factor today!!!

[CrazyCowboy]

Ok Zoners, CrazyCowboy is nervous but confindent!

Let's kick some booty!!

[marchetta]

Just don't fumble and we win. The midgets will be constantly swatting at every ball carrier. They rely on the fumble to shorten the field and score TDs. They can't consistently put together long drives and score. Just run the ball, don't fumble, play field position football, and take your deep shots here and there. Don't put Bledsoe in a 3rd and long against those DE, since he'd have to be in max protect which limits the # of receivers going out in patterns. GO get 'em boys!

[Cbz40]

Any pills to get these dadgum butterflies out of my tummy??????

[marchetta]

Didn't Dallas call Tails???

[marchetta]

I think the refs did a Bettis thanksgiving day ruling against us on that coin toss!

[Cbz40]

Let's do it

[xplozno8]

Does anybody kno a website where i coudl listen to this game?

[Naruto]

Man Ware almost had a sack.

[BigDFan5]

good pressure Ware!

[BigDFan5]

What greAT accuracy shown on that pass /sarcasm

[Ashwynn]

Does anybody kno a website where i coudl listen to this game?

http://thegamelive.com/

Try that - was posted earlier - not sure if it will work, never tried it personally.

[BigDFan5]

GREAT job Canty!

[CrazyCowboy]

CrazyCowboy loves the way Ware and friends are getting to Manning early......wow!

[Draegerman]

Defense looks ready. Now let's see what Drew and our "O" can do.

[Naruto]

Uh oh bad field position.

[CrazyCowboy]

Damn, that field position stinks!

[Cbz40]

Good job D.........lousy Field position

[ManofSteel2331]

hmm someone tivo that and see if manning was really throwing that ball..
i question the call lol

[Draegerman]

You know, the way that we're getting pressure on the punter lately, it wouldn't surprise me if Bill doesn't call an all-out blitz and try to block one today.

[Naruto]

Oh god don't tell me we're gonna do what the Giants did last week.

[TruBlueCowboy]

dangerous, dangerous

[Draegerman]

hmm someone tivo that and see if manning was really throwing that ball..
i question the call lol
It looked real close to me too.

[TruBlueCowboy]

3rd down!! Crayton! Crayton!!

[BigDFan5]

Free first down!

[Draegerman]

Horrible penalty for the Giants - stupid and horrible.

;)

[BigDFan5]

just a bit long

[ManofSteel2331]

is it just me or does soemtimes terry glenn slow down on the deep balls?:(

[Draegerman]

You know what else? We can run on this team too.

And that's going to be great news for the Cowboys today, especially with this crappy weather.

[Jimz31]

I'm sure we'll se plenty more penalties by the Giants.

I just hope that we don't begin getting penalized.....we've been pretty good about that all year.

[BigDFan5]

Flags!

[Dallas4ever]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Naruto]

Another free 1st. That guy was all over Glenn

[Jimz31]

is it just me or does soemtimes terry glenn slow down on the deep balls?:(
Just about everytime he turns around to find the ball, he slows down.

[BigDFan5]

good call refs

[BigDFan5]

OLine getting handled

[Jimz31]

O-line needs to do their job and open up some holes.

[Silverstar]

JuJo looks like crap so far!

[Draegerman]

Big 3rd down here.

[Jimz31]

Somebody wake me when we spread the offense on a running play.

[ManofSteel2331]

i think jj forgot how to run the ball, where's all the agility and speed we saw from lst year?

[BigDFan5]

another flag for late hit hahahaha

[Naruto]

And another free 1st. Late hit on Witten. LOL!!!

[Dallas4ever]

Good call!:D

[AbeBeta]

JuJo looks like crap so far!

yeah the o-line had nothing to do with it.

[TruBlueCowboy]

lmao, 3 first downs, who paid the refs today? ;)

[BigDFan5]

good run JJ

[ManofSteel2331]

there we go lol

[Draegerman]

That's what I'm talking about, JJ!

[Jimz31]

Reminds me of the last time we played.....Giants don't want this game....

[Silverstar]

Bout time...JuJo


I wanna see more of that!

[zagnut]

Keep going Giants. You're our best offense at this point. :)

[BigDFan5]

lmao, 3 first downs, who paid the refs today? ;)


I did but it was a hot check :o

[ManofSteel2331]

playaction right here...

[Da Hammer]

damn that was way off

[Paniolo22]

Not good. Bledsoe off today.

[BigDFan5]

horrible play

[Naruto]

Bledsoe looking pretty bad so far.

[Dallas4ever]

Come on Drew.

[Da Hammer]

we have to be the worst team at the screen and thats been the case for years now

[Paniolo22]

90 mph screen pass. Nice

[ManofSteel2331]

that was a horrible throw..but yet a much much worst play call...

[TruBlueCowboy]

bledsoe looks like crap nowadays

[Jimz31]

Screen plays.....how many times does that work for us?

[Paniolo22]

Penlties hurting Giants

[Haley94]

Line is looking all right so far. Bledsoe needs to settle down.

[TruBlueCowboy]

Line is looking all right so far. Bledsoe needs to settle down.
he just gets too jumpy, giants arent even bringing the house that much

[Da Hammer]

kind of sad that we didn't score their with all the help we got

[CrazyCowboy]

CrazyCowboy loves the penalties he is seeing from the aints early! Great sign for us

[Draegerman]

90 mph screen pass. Nice
It looked more like a "panic throw" than anything else.

I'm not sure why either considering that he still had plenty of time to get it off.

[DefendeR]

Let's go D!!!

[Jimz31]

Let me guess...on JJ's 12 yard run...was it a draw play?

[Da Hammer]

we need a turnover here to take the crowd out of the game

[NJCowboy]

Guys - I grew up i this area - NJ - played QB here in HS all 4 years a starter - I'm the same size as Drew - You know what's happening here - 2 things: his hands are too dry : And he's not loose enough -I know exactly what he's feeling now those pads feel too heavy...he needs to Warm up on the sidelines while we're on D -not put a coat on.

[ManofSteel2331]

the D is gonna need to score for us today
lets hope for no dropped easy easy interceptions

[Draegerman]

kind of sad that we didn't score their with all the help we got
Yea, but the bright side is that we at least moved the ball from deep on our side of the field and were able to hand the Giants terrible field position instead.

I'll take that on the first drive...

[BigDFan5]

good play Roy

[Da Hammer]

Nice hit again by Mr. Roy Williams

[BigDFan5]

Great stand Defense 3 and out!

[Da Hammer]

thats some nice D, stuffed Tiki

[Dallas4ever]

Good D!

[ManofSteel2331]

i heart roy williams

[Jimz31]

Bradie James is having a nice game so far.

[SDogo]

starting to really like this Bradie kid!

[DefendeR]

Bradie James is coming of age...nice 3 and out D!

[Jimz31]

Will Bledsoe complete a pass on this possession? That is the question.

[CrazyCowboy]

CrazyCowboy is starting to believe in Mr. Bradie James......looks like he can be trusted Zoners!

[Cbz40]

OK O it's your turn to step up

[Da Hammer]

James just becoming another piece that will lead to us having a dominant D for years to come

[ManofSteel2331]

hmmm lets spread it out
4 wide
barber in the backfield
air it out

[CrazyCowboy]

Great stand Defense 3 and out!

Agreed......def is looking focused!

[NJCowboy]

Guys 1 st play on this drive I go sideline to Keyshawn get him going

[SDogo]

OK O it's your turn to step up

Feel ya!

Now let's hope the offense does.

[CrazyCowboy]

JJ is going to break loose on this drive for a TD!

[STSINAZ]

Bradie James is having a nice game so far.

bradie has 4 tackles already...i have been touting him for years as a star in the making...

[Cbz40]

Feel ya!

Now let's hope the offense does.


It's a Must

[koolaid]

Will Bledsoe complete a pass on this possession? That is the question.

dont you guys think you are jumping on bledsoe a little early? hes thrown 3 passes, its the start of the game, he hasnt played since thanksgiving, and its cold, chill out fellas, well be alright

[Da Hammer]

is that his 2nd false start

[Dallas4ever]

We gotta get composed.

[Jimz31]

dont you guys think you are jumping on bledsoe a little early? hes thrown 3 passes, its the start of the game, he hasnt played since thanksgiving, and its cold, chill out fellas, well be alright

I'm not jumping on him....he's just not been very good lately.

[Da Hammer]

wow are the Vikings coming alive when everybody tought they were dead

[Naruto]

Final score 3-0...at least it seems that way.

[Dallas4ever]

Had to hold it too long.

[BigDFan5]

Come on D lets do it again

[ManofSteel2331]

haha this offfensive line is terrible

[CrazyCowboy]

JJ is going to break loose on this drive for a TD!

Sorry.......I need less beer!

Wow......I am nervous

[Da Hammer]

we should be going to Key with those short throws that worked well against the Broncos

[Cbz40]

Tucker............................BLOOOOOOOOOOCK

[SDogo]

Offense is killing me

[DefendeR]

Tucker just got punk'd

[Jimz31]

We have some needs.....and it all begins on the offensive line.

[koolaid]

Tucker............................BLOOOOOOOOOOCK

looked like tucker had him but JJ knocked him off

[JohnsKey19]

its gonna be a long and painful day for Bledsoe if we cant establish any kind of running game.

[Da Hammer]

come on D lets hold them to a 3 and out

[Naruto]

Newman with the PD.

[Dallas4ever]

Good play by TNew

[Da Hammer]

damn it

[ManofSteel2331]

why are we blitzing!??!

[koolaid]

o sure pick on reeves, thats below the belt

[Da Hammer]

haha Roy might have gotten away with the flag

[Dallas4ever]

The Giants are begging.

[koolaid]

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaase a horse coller

[TruBlueCowboy]

got a bad feeling about this game, defensive slugfest but you know that giants offense can't be contained forever, especially with some of our injuries on defense, can't say i have the same confidence that our offense will figure it out

[Da Hammer]

ha Morgan just caught his first TD as a Steeler

[ManofSteel2331]

i thought the rule was you can bring him down by grabbing in there, you just cant pull him towards you.. and roy didnt do that..he pulled him down to the side
at least thats what they said on turkey day..

[Cbz40]

HA!!!!HA!!!! Horsecaller..........Keep on begging Tom..............

[BrAinPaiNt]

Sham on broadcast says in order for it to be a horse collar the player has to be brought down as soon as he is grabbed...said in this case tiki still ran three yards.

Have no clue if that is right or not but that is what they were saying on the net broadcast.

[Jimz31]

Why is it that I'm not very nervous when our D is on the field...but when our O is, I get more nervous. This sucks. It should be the other way around.

[SDogo]

This is where the Giants gaint he advantage. They are just so much more complete on offense then we are and our D can't hold them back forever

[Da Hammer]

Why is it that I'm not very nervous when our D is on the field...but when our O is, I get more nervous. This sucks. It should be the other way around.
i think most Cowboys fans feel the same

[Jimz31]

The way that it was explained is that he has to bring the runner INTO his body and bring him down as well.

[JohnsKey19]

got a bad feeling about this game, defensive slugfest but you know that giants offense can't be contained forever, especially with some of our injuries on defense, can't say i have the same confidence that our offense will figure it out


Yeah we're gonna need a big play or 2 on defense or STs.

[Eskimo]

Fears about this game confirmed:

1. We cannot run the ball.

2. We cannot protect Bledsoe

3. Giants going to exploit Reeves.

4. Tiki to the outside going to give us problems.

[TruBlueCowboy]

roy williams is saving our butts, give that man a raise!

[Jimz31]

i think most Cowboys fans feel the same
But the sad thing is that it switches late in the 4th qtr.

[Da Hammer]

Fujita has sure made plenty of mistakes the last couple weeks

[JohnsKey19]

we're starting to get owned at the LOS similar to the Eagles game 2 weeks ago.

[koolaid]

roy williams is saving our butts, give that man a raise!
only good thing about this game so far is that the roy williams haters havn't started griping

[Jimz31]

5 tackles by RW already.

[Dallas4ever]

Good read by Ware.

[Da Hammer]

we might see Feely attempt a FG, lol

[ManofSteel2331]

uhhh wasnt that uncatchable?

[Naruto]

Okay wait. That ball was thrown 25 yards past the WR and they still get a penalty.

[Jimz31]

Yeah, but he'll make it against us.

[jordan20]

horrible call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BigDFan5]

Come on D hold them to a FG

[Eskimo]

If I'm the Giants I play 3-wide all-day and go after Reeves without mercy. He does not belong in the NFL as a CB.

[Da Hammer]

first it was the Giants hurting themselves, now its the Cowboys hurting themselves

[Jimz31]

OK...both teams are giving each other 1st downs....neither team wants this game.

[ManofSteel2331]

i hate refs
they might be the dumbest people
and dictate games way too much..
they always favor a team

[Jimz31]

No contact at all....who was it that is paying the refs?

[jordan20]

I question the first contact call because fujita hits barber after a 2 yd route

[koolaid]

first it was the Giants hurting themselves, now its the Cowboys hurting themselves
dont forget the refs making horrible calls, therewas no contact whatsoever

[Dallas4ever]

Let's hold them to three here.

[Paniolo22]

We need a play on D right NOW!!!

[Naruto]

No pass rush. Tiki running wild.

[Da Hammer]

another Jacobs fumble anyone???

[Cbz40]

Not Good...................................

[Eskimo]

Giving up TDs is something we cannot do - we don't have the firepower to put points on the board.

I think this could be our first blowout of the year - the matchups just really work against us today.

[CowboyManDan]

Garenteed 3 (or more) yards everytime if you run it up the Cowboys gut.

[Da Hammer]

guess not

[Paniolo22]

It is going to be a long day. We seem uncomfortable with our footing and playing tentative.

[kycowboyfan]

Score update

Cowboys 0
Refs 7

[Jimz31]

OK BP/Payton...time to wake up....you are behind.

[jordan20]

anthony henry not playing kills this team

[Draegerman]

Crap! Not what I was hoping for.

[Jimz31]

anthony henry not playing kills this team
Yes it does....I just hope that he is 100% by week 15

[Silverstar]

Eli has waaaay too much time to throw the ball.

Run defense looks good, but there's no pressure on Eli.

[Da Hammer]

we have got to find a way to run the ball or we are gonna be in for a long game

[Eskimo]

I really don't know what we can do against the Giants D - they are all over Bledsoe without blitzing and the their front is dominating our OL in the running game.

It really hurts missing on that shot to Glenn earlier because those are the type of plays we need to convert today if we are to have any shot.

[CrazyCowboy]

Ok--let's adjust and come back strong and tie this game!

[Windmill]

Giants offense is simply better than the Cowboys offense and that's why I think we lose. We don't have a creative offensive game and we can't get to the quarterback no matter how much we try.

[Da Hammer]

does thompson have any moves that maybe he can use other than just going in to where all the Giants players are???????????

[Silverstar]

We need Glenn/Crayton to get involved in this game.


NOW!

[JohnsKey19]

No pass rush.

Cant run the ball.

Similar to the first 56 minutes of the Eagles game, not gonna win may division games on the road like this

[Eskimo]

We need Glenn/Crayton to get involved in this game.


NOW!

To get them involved we have to be able to block upfront which we can't - Giants front 4 dominating the game.

[Da Hammer]

come on we need to see a deep play to Glenn here

[kycowboyfan]

when your O-line struggles you become limited in what you can do and unfortunately our o-line is subpar

[NJCowboy]

We need to go to a 3 WR set

[big_neil]

Someone on the offense besides Drew needs to make a big play. How about a great catch or breaking a tackle and going the distance?

[peppersquad]

First down Juls.


SHocking.

[Naruto]

Julius for 1.5. That sounds oddly familiar.

[Da Hammer]

Memo to Cowboys coaching staff, going up the middle to Jones has not worked all year

[Silverstar]

Can't JuJo bounce it outside...just once?

[lyrclcipha12]

we cant run the ball nor can we stop the run save for roy williams...our d line and o line just get pushed back...and bledsoe holds the balll wayyyyyyyyyy too long...this guy has been awful the past 5 weeks

[Jimz31]

Jones needs to be given more Draw Plays!

[BigDFan5]

our OLine is ridiculous

[Da Hammer]

nice job O

[Windmill]

Gd Shotgun!

[Naruto]

Giants are clearly the better team right now. Running the ball with ease. Hitting the short routes and most importantly getting pressure on Bledsoe.

[SDogo]

Way To Respond Offense!


You Suck!

[Paniolo22]

Looooooong Dayyyy!!!!

[peppersquad]

Ball Game.

[Eskimo]

There goes Rivera - worst FA pickup of the year.

[lyrclcipha12]

seriously i hate drew bledsoe...and his stupid weak pump fakes...throw the damn ball u dont have that much time with this pitiful line...here comes the blowout...

[Dallas4ever]

Not good. Good set up by Giants.

[Jimz31]

Romo! Romo! Romo! Romo!

Just kidding...partially.

[Nyks3]

good job bledsoe...u suck

[rcaldw]

The pressure isn't Bledsoe's fault but he HAS to hold onto and protect the football. Huge mistake

[Cbz40]

That really hurts........................

[Silverstar]

:bang2:


This could be over already....

[AbeBeta]

There goes Rivera - worst FA pickup of the year.

I didn't believe it when all the pundits said we should have gone after Wahle.

I believe it now.

[DefendeR]

Can't run left anymore,the O line and the entire O for that matter are a joke.

[Eskimo]

This OL needs to rebuilt completely.

Only average player on the whole line is LA - every other player below average. The shocking thing is how much we have invested for so little performance. Expect a repeat of this game against Carolina.

[davidyee]

...18 turnovers, Bledsoe is invovled in 14 of them.

[CowboyManDan]

We just don't have a playoff quality offensive line. That is a HUGE thing.

[lyrclcipha12]

The pressure isn't Bledsoe's fault but he HAS to hold onto and protect the football. Huge mistake

he has to get rid of the ball sooner...he looks extremely tenative and the balls he has thrown have been off target...dammit

[Naruto]

There goes Rivera - worst FA pickup of the year.

And if Henry can't even get on the field we'll have the 2 worst.

[Da Hammer]

I'd rather see Henson in there and he killed rather than Romo since i don't see much in Henson as him becoming our franchise QB. Not that i see much in Romo either

[Silverstar]

The pressure isn't Bledsoe's fault but he HAS to hold onto and protect the football. Huge mistake


Hard to protect it, when you're trying to throw it too.

[AbeBeta]

Bring on Peterman!

[davidyee]

...Nors when you need him to defend this.

[ManofSteel2331]

this is so upsetting...
this is where the games vs washington and seattle come to haunt us..

[Jimz31]

Like I said before....with BP insisting on playing between the 20's, we could have only 1 win this year, that being the Eagles game.

We have lost 3 games due to kickers and according to Jimmy Johnson, it goes back to firing Steve Hoffman. Didn't have these problems till BP canned him.

If they don't do something with the o-line this off-season, screw next year as well.

[Windmill]

Game=over. Our defense has more capabilities than our offense does.

[lyrclcipha12]

god i miss anthony henry...

[Da Hammer]

that was bull, he didn't even call the TO on time

[AbeBeta]

We have lost 3 games due to kickers and according to Jimmy Johnson, it goes back to firing Steve Hoffman. Didn't have these problems till BP canned him.

Let it go. Hoffman didn't do anything special. Most teams develop rookie FA kickers -- and don't need an extra coach to do it.

[Cbz40]

Ditto..........................That wassssss Bulllllllll

[Eskimo]

And if Henry can't even get on the field we'll have the 2 worst.

Henry had ability and was playing at a Pro Bowl level - injuries happen.

Rivera is old and ineffective and was given a gargantuan signing bonus for an ageing OG.

[kycowboyfan]

that baby read 00 when that TO was called....Come on Refs wake up!!!!!!!!

[wxcpo]

Game over, poor offensive line not giving Bledsoe time to do anything. Of course having a statue for a QB doesn't help either.

[Jimz31]

Let it go. Hoffman didn't do anything special. Most teams develop rookie FA kickers -- and don't need an extra coach to do it.

Like JJ said....prior to this, no problems.

3 games....what price do you want to pay for 3 games. A coach doesn't count against the salary cap.

Kickers get the blame for a lot of things, yet they are VERY important.

The bottom line is that didn't have inconsistencies at the kicking position till he was let go.

[Silverstar]

Our OL looks average at best right now.

Allen and Rivera are really showing their age in December.

[Da Hammer]

yes intercepted

[Naruto]

Woah what an INT by Glenn. Great job!

[Dallas4ever]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Glenn

[fortdick]

Huge play by Glenn!

[basilio]

great interception...:)...was getting worried

[Paniolo22]

Glennnnnn!!!!

[kycowboyfan]

defense saves us again

[Cbz40]

The blitz caused that INT

[lyrclcipha12]

there's a break...i have no confidence in our offense going 80 yards the way our o line and bledsoe have played however, glenn needed to return that 100 yards

[Jimz31]

Nice job Glenn!

[xplozno8]

Thank Goddd

[Paniolo22]

Why hold if you are only getting 2 freaking yards?

[Cbz40]

Holding...........................Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[TruBlueCowboy]

thank the lord for stupid young qbs lol

[peppersquad]

1st down Juls for 1.5


NM we cant even get that off. Holding, drive over.

[wxcpo]

Please Parcells open up the damn playbook!

[basilio]

We def need a new O-Line

[Da Hammer]

geez what a surprise a unmeaningful run up the middle and there was holding

[SDogo]

Al Johnson or Rivera who really is worst?

[ManofSteel2331]

huge play
might be the spark we need


oh wait...our offensive line screws us again

[lyrclcipha12]

GODDDAMMMIT our o line blows

[Naruto]

Julius for 1.5 and we got a holding call. Shouldn't he have gotten a few more yards then that?

Next play: Julius for 1.5...this is getting annoying.

[Eskimo]

Another brilliant play from our OL
