That is one game I’ll never watch again. I saw it in person and that was bad enough. It literally made me sick. Long time to get over that one.

I remember pacing back and forth through the house until the game ended. I walked out into the garage and punched my work bench hard enough to break the watch off my wrist. Lol, good times.

Thank God old age has served to mellow me down, a bit.

-This was recommended on Youtube for me so I decided to watch again. Few observations.

-Romo played very good minus a couple of bad throws. I thought he played worse when it happened.

-on the flipside, the 4th quarter exposed the lack of leadership from Romo. The game was still winnable and he started unraveling. Yelling at olinemen, refs, etc

-the oline failed him in the 4th quarter. It was embarassing. And Leonard davis with the dumb unnecessary roughness on Strahan in the 4th quarter after a big first down

-the defense was undisciplined and made so many dumb mistakes. Ware/Ellis jumping offsides on 3rd downs. Roy giving space to Ahmad Bradshaw on a 3rd down. Henry with the most pathetic tackle attempt on the first touchdown.

I take back the bad things I said about your boy @WillieBeamen he balled out

Patrick Crayton


Oh AND ya boy Garrett was calling plays like an idiot in the second half. Every second down was a run play if first down was a pass


Also, the defense to end the first half was sad. Jacque Reeves facemask call topped off the nonsense.

Romo have BFFs. I don’t think Patrick ever expected that football

That game may be the biggest challenge to me trying to enjoy this season as it happens.

or many i mean we have had choke game in every playoffs..

we were as good many other years fans chose to forget but

2014
2016
2018 worst of all IMO coming back late that season on roll beat Seattle in the layoffs and have a terrible 2nd qtr against the rams.so close..

all big lets downs after going into the post season confident

its like SAS says and we wont admit hes correct..we are an accident waiting to happen..will we break that cycle, hope so..its time, i want an NFCCG at minimum this season. We deserve it we have suffered enough LOL

some promising cycle breakers for me for 2021,

been to 3 straight ATT DC games spread out over 10 years and we lost , went this season to Carolina and we won..

last 3-4 games my siblings and friend got together to watch, we have lost, did it Sunday against NE and we won.

Jimmy and Jerry seems to be on good terms again. ROH coming but they were awfully chummy at the HT HOF ceremony for Jimmy..

so far this season all 6 games we look prepared and seem to have different vibe about eh team and the culture..

so maybe cylces are being broken..the curse maybe lifted

When I think of the Gnats, it brings back fond memories like this:

Was at the game. Was the only professional sporting event i've ever been to where you could hear a pin drop when the game was over (very akward silence after the game).

I remember getting scalper tickets the week of the game for dirt cheap. The ticket prices for the game where low across the board, I think alot of fans knew that losing was a strong possibility (Giants last 2 games coming into this once was a narrow shootout lost to the undefeated patriots and a pretty convincing win over the #4 seed Bucs).

And TO was playing badly hurt. So bad he was almost just a decoy in 4th

This was huge. And Terry Glenn was not healthy, either. TO probably should not have even been out there with the injury he had but he rehabs extremely well. This was the same thing a few years ago in Philly's Super Bowl. I think he actually got hurt against us.

We peaked around the Green Bay/Detroit game that season and looked off the rest of the year, starting with that Philly loss at home. We did not play well the last month of that season. As opposed to other years like 2009, 2014, 2016 where we were pretty hot going into the playoffs.

For some reason, we became a ball control offense. We did not really have much play action going down the field like we did all year. And starting Barber was dumb. He had nothing left at the end.

A few things were our demise. Taking a 14-7 lead and all the momentum and getting the ball to start the 2nd half. We let the Giants convert a 3rd and forever and end up scoring. That was pathetic defense. Opening up the 2nd half, we had a very long drive. But settled for 3. If you have these long drives, you have to convert. And we never scored again.

And lost on Crayton past that drop on 3rd down was on the final drive, he had his guy beat easy and he just flat out quit on the route. That would have been a absolute dime game winning TD if he kept going. It's one thing to drop a ball but it's another to just quit on a route.

That was an ugly game.

A hail mary is a hail mary….whether its from 20 yards out or 50.
No time keft, no timeouts….you have to throw to the endzone

Pretty much everything you said was off.

And then topping it with the Cabo stuff

Well, you win. No arguing with that in-depth football take.

False. A hail mary is a long pass. A prayer. A long shot. A 20yd pass is not a hail mary in any sense of the definition. Would you then consider a 5yd pass in the same scenario a hail mary? Stop.

When you must score a TD, there is no time left and it’s the last play of the game and you have no choice but to force it into the end zone from 20 yards out….it’s basically a Hail Mary.

but if you don’t want to call it that, that’s fine.
The point is that he HAD to throw it in the end zone, covered or not

the sad thing is he threw a perfect game-winning pass the play before except Clayton pulled up

Yeah, me too.

We only have so much time on this Earth. And one of the most horrific losses in Cowboys history is what you choose to post?

A curse on you and your house.

The definition of a Hail Mary of course came from Roger to Pearson when he called it that.
Now it basically means the last play where you toss it up and hope for a miracle. The last play Romo knew he had to go into the end zone and force it in.

Romo isn’t a leader. He never was. He had his buddies. There’s a big difference. Ans that’s ok. It’s not a slight some people just have that trait

Anyone that claims Romo was not a leader is a person who had no idea what leadership means.

phildadon86 said:

People will make up whatever they want to make a hero look good. He went to Cabo and came back and was not sharp at all in that playoff game. Crayton obviously dropped a huge pass but Romo was not himself in that game compared to the season.

Anyone blaming the cabo thing truly has no clue about much of anything.

Ok. That’s 2.

we get it. You hate Romo. Now let the adults talk.

And just to make you look even dumber

This

What I still recall to this day about this game.

1. Romo folding in the 4th qtr, that grounding call was big.

2. PC giving up on his route.

3. Jac Reeves pentalty.

Thats all she wrote folks.

People seem to forget that the 2007 Giants’ defense held the highest scoring offense in NFL history (37 ppg) to 14 points in the Super Bowl

The Patriots must have had a bum QB in the Superbowl

Agree.
It's disappointing to find out how many Skip Bayless type fans we actually have out there.

Embarrassing when people make assertions based on utter nonsense. Romo was screaming at his o lineman who weren't protecting him so it made him a bad leader. Thinly veiled as he wants to win and he's trying to juice up those guys. When Brady does it people bang on about his hard line leadership but if it's Romo then it's a loser mentality. Hilarious.

Reality is the Giants had a very good team and a game like that will come down to a play or two. Crayton stopped his route and that was the key play of the game and cost us the W. Go ask Brady and Welker.

I live among Giants fans and this game ranks among one of the worst moments of my life.

Sorry but I refuse to watch this. The Cowboys were Super Bowl worthy that season and they let a bunch of mediocre schmucks that they beat easily twice that same year steal one. All these years later and I am still disgusted.

Remember Eli Manning will make it to the Hall of Fame.

Which makes sense. After all, he helped more teams win than any quarterback I have ever seen.
