I don't mind it so much when we're up by 24... We ate up a lot of the third quarter on that drive before Keyshawn fumbled.

It's when we're up by 3 or 6 that I hate it.

I'm estatic - we attacked early and won big. Just don't like getting too conservative after sucess. See Skin game.

We are on the road to a killer Win!

There's a time to be conservative. Versus Washington wasn't the time. Today was.

I was okay with it when we were up by 24 considering the way our defense was playing.;)

I think the JJ injury necessitated the conservative approach in the second half. It was the threat of the running game that left Glenn out there in so many one-on-one situations. Plus, when we lost JJ we also lost our most dependable RB at blitz pickup.

I think Payton did what we had to in the second half which is play conservatively, run the ball and try to pick up a few first downs.

I think we were still going after them until the turnover for the TD. And missing Julius only added to it. Scary is, Dallas could've named the score today. I think they played it smart throughout.

I disagree! I think we were still agressive at least int he third quarter; just not overly aggressive. And then in the fourth quarter it was fairly obvious the game was ours so it was time to kill the clock.

How many of you would have been screaming if they kept going for the throat int he forth and allowed a turnover or two to let the Eagles back in it; is that not what happened to the Chiefs?

i was hoping that we could score 50 points. i just thrilled to death that we beat the eagles the way we did. i picked the score in the eagles favor. i am so glad to be wrong today. now we have to beat the giants to start some momentum and string some wins together. i just did not have enough confidence to think that we could beat the eagles.

This team may have turned the corner today. Next week we will know more about that. The Giants are not a slouchy team and if the Boys can beat them, that ought to solidify the change into a team with a winning attitude. Today went a long way toward that.
