Video: Cowboys should study the '07 and '11 New York Giants

[Zordon]

For inspiration on how to show up on the road in the playoffs.

For Dak -- Eli Manning throws for 316 yds, 2 tds. Countless clutch throws, on the road in San Francisco to win the '11 NFCCG



For Amari -- Plaxico Burress goes for 11 rec/ 151 yds in the '07 NFCCG in negative temps in Green Bay.



Zeke/Pollard can look at Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs and how, despite not getting big numbers, they successfully moved the chains and got positive yardage on 1st down to keep their offense ahead of the chains.

Pfft, the 2007 Giants. Take away Patrick Crayton dropping two TD passes and an endzone pick by Tony Romo and those turds don't get out of the divisional round. All these years later that game still burns me up inside.

Right there with you. Brutal mistakes. We had a great chance and crapped the bed. Pure and simple.

 

[CATCH17]

I think the run game will ultimately be what gets us to a championship or not.

I don’t think Dak is going to go toe to toe with 1 of these bigtime QBs and be successful doing it.


Dallas needs to get leads, get big plays from the run game, and keep hitting QBs and forcing turnovers.

That’s our path to success.

That one's in my head forever & hurt the most.

 

[fivetwos]

Those teams were as hot as possible at the right time.

Also had the ball bounce their way several times.

Got the right breaks. Perfect storm.

Only similarly to this Dallas team is the ability and willingness to play edge guys inside and have 4-5 beasts after the passer on 3rd and long.

Remains to be seen if we get all the breaks they did.

 

[JayFord]

Are we factoring in luck?

both of those Giants teams won the superbowl off 50% Will and 50% Luck

 

[Proof]

to be honest though it takes some luck to win it. The giants took advantage of that… we fell flat on our faces. One mistake or two shouldn’t doom the team… and for us in the past to often it did.

Giants beat an undefeated pats team. They deserved to win it.

Bucs had luck last season and it was being healthy for the playoffs.

Sure did, and playing Heinicke and a washed Brees in the first two rounds was nice too.

Giants won because of defense and luck. Mostly defense.

That and pathetic defense which gave a under 30 sec TD to equalize the game before Half. DB named Reeves ?

 

[Blake]

See a lot of copium from this fan base because those Giants teams were better than the Cowboys. Pathetic.

 

[fivetwos]

Yup and just maybe KC starting tackles lost DURING the playoffs were part of that.

Those breaks.....and we know little about that yet for this season.

 

[Aven8]

No way in hell we beat that Pats team regardless. We got smoked at home by them earlier that year. We didn’t have the dogs on D to get it done. This year we do.

If you remember that game vs New England…. then you remember we went toe to toe with them and we had a 4th and 1 and Barber broke a long run down inside the 5 or 10…. Only to be called back for a bs holding call. Dallas punted and New England took the game over then

I recall several players being pissed about that game and call and vowing to get revenge on them in the SB.

Now they very well may have beat Dallas in the SB but it would’ve been extremely hard to do

helmet catch, that still pisses me off, a part of the ball touched the turf, how is that a "football move" or did that rule come later

Romo doesn't throw that pick if Crayton and Fasano don't drop easy TD passes. I'll never get over Fasano and Crayton literally dropping the ball.

Agreed. That whole game was a fiasco by the Cowboys. They were too dismissive of the Giants after beating them up twice in the regular season and came out too flat.
