I'm a little concerned playing the Giants @ NY after a monumental collapse, plus Strahan, Osi Umanyoria and Short may play.
Not to mention it could be real bad weather , cold and rainy.
I wish this one were in Dallas and I kinda wish the Giants had beaten Tennessee.

I don't know if I'm worried yet, but sunday is going to be a HUGE test...what if it were the cowboys coming off a 3 game losing streak, hurting with injuries, and our QB struggling with a 1st place team coming in playing good ball and a QB with a hot hand. You know Dallas would be ready to play with nothing to lose and a strong intensity. I know the giants will come ready to play on their home turf.

It's all in how we manage the first part of the game. if we don't make any mistakes early and can jump to an early lead then i think we'll be OK

it's games like this that Parcells can earn his money...If he don't get his team ready to play coming into a game like this then we're all in trouble.

I'm worried about every single game.

I was worried about the Bucs game.

I used to never worry about the Cowboys in the early 90s. But over the years, I usually go into games wondering how this team is going to rip my heart out.

But we've won games this year that we normally drop hard. The Colt game for instance. We played an elite team...fell behind early...but pulled it out. The Bucs game is another example....Before, if we won a huge game, we usually tanked it against a poor team. But we answered in a huge way.

Recent history has us losing this game in a tough fashion. Recently, if we play a game remotely important late in the year, we tank it....

We've bucked a few trends with Romo. Hopefully, it'll continue.

All signs point to us winning. We're hot, coming off three wins. The Giants have lost three in a row. Our QB is playing "lights out". Manning is playing like his light's gone out. The Giants are beat up with injuries....they're ready to kill their coach.

But all those things worry me. Yes, we should win....The Giants sense this too. Will they come out fighting? or Will they fold at the first sign of trouble?

Another bothersome thing....The Giants are too talented of a team to lose four straight.

Yes, there's a lot of things to worry about.

Of course I'm worried. And then I'm worried about the Saints, and the game after that ...

Actually, I'm more worried about a healthy, resurgent Seattle club. Everyone's penciling in Dallas as the #2 team in the NFC and overlooking the Hawks.

It's important that we send shock-waves through out the NFC this Sunday - In my opinion, we have to get after Manning and hit that team hard and fast.

Romo has to keep doing what he's doing. We need TO to have a monster game, we need no drops. If we can win this game big, then teams will be very scared to face us from here out. Once again, Romo has to show up and show up big.

Our defense has got to crush the lights out of Shockey and Burress. If they catch the ball, destroy them like we did to the Colts receivers. As the assistant coach said in the movie *Remember the Titans* "leave no doubt"!!

I'm really concerned mostly because it's a rivalry game. I think we are clearly outplaying the giants at this point, but nothing like having the cowboys and BP coming to town to make everyone have the game of their life. Also, Tiki ran freely the last time we played and we need a much better effort there. My hope is that the team really remembers the embarrassing sting of getting their *** kicked on monday night football and want revenge themselves. It will be a battle of wills folks and I think our biggest test to date.

I'm worrried of course... But for some weird reason I have a feeling T.O. is about to have one of those games. He's put up big numbers this year, but hes yet to take a game over by himself. This Sunday is his time...

(I keep sayin this pipe dream every week, its about time it comes to fruition.)

I'm worried because it's a division rivalry for the lead in the division.

HOWEVER, this is the first time in a long, long time as a Cowboy fan that I've felt comfortable and confident in our ability to win ANY game against ANY team in the NFL. It's going to be an interesting game.

What's it going to be then, eh?

I am not "worried".

This is do or die.

Against an inferior opponent who is going through turmoil.

If we lose, it more on us than it is on them.

We hold the cards.

I know that everyone is hoping to run the table and getting a number two seed in the NFC, including me. Realistically, this game is huge. If we win this game we place ourselves in great position to make the playoffs and potentially get at least one home playoff game. On the other hand, if we lose this game, we won't even be leading our own division. The Giants will want this game badly. A lot is at stake for them as well. In short, yes I am very concerned. On the other hand, right now, we are the better team.

Both DEs are out again this Sunday.

Yes, I am worried. This is the last game that I truly worry about losing. I think the Giants will give one last tough fought game and this is the one. It's their season. If they win, they are a thorn in our playoff hopes til the end of the year. If they lose, we have smooth sailing into the playoffs. Bottom line.

I wouldnt say I'm worried. I just know that this game is Huge.


I will say this though, We usually dont play very well against division rivals. So I'm not expecting a blow out regardless how bad the Giants are. Lets face it, The Giants have a way to hit us in the MOUTH. Now this team has a new heart, but It's basically the same guys...

We'll see...

JJ will separate his shoulder and lead us to glory.

Newman switches his number to 21 and returns a punt 84 yards for the TD in OT.

No, because I just don't see us losing this game. The team underachieved from the onset of the season. It's about damn time they start acting like the best team in the division, because top to bottom, position by position, they are.

You just have to wonder with the injuries in NY, the bickering, Manning looking like Manning does in part 2 of the season, if they are going to get it together. They are in a must win situation, and they just fell apart against an inferior Tennesee team.

Emotionally, the Giants are on a low. Dallas is riding high.

I just don't see us losing this game.

Ever since Romo has stepped in, I EXECPT this team to win. I think the team plays with that same mentality.

I am a bid worried and here is why...

If the Cowboys, GOD-FORBID, do lose the game...we will have to wait for the G-whimps to lose a game so we can gain the division lead again.

But since I am optimistic and have so much faith in Manning...HUHHH...yeah I said Eli, he will win us the game...we beat his brother why not him??

Time for Romo to revenge his loss, certainly not his fault, to them on Monday Night.
