Give it up to the DEF

[LatinMind]

Definetly give them credit for that along with the Def TD, but they were absolutley getting trucked in the running game. That part was painful to watch the Gmen getting nearly 10 yards a pop. I don't know why the giants got away from the running game. I would have shoved it down our throats until we could prove we could stop it.

They went away from it cause they saw the Cowboys werent giving up scores against the run. they kept getting FGs. U cant match FGs with TDs

Our O is pathetic a majority of the time. The D bailed them out today.

i missed the game and only caught the recap....but youre praising the defense that let the giants walk into the endzone without being touched? or the one that got aired out on on 4th down? or the huge pass cruz caught at the 5 deep over the middle?

i didnt see much to praise except the strip td return by heath

Going into this week, teams that give up 200 yards rushing were 61-425 since 2000.

Don't forget the defensive score. That was huge.

The offense was not good in the first half. Producing only 7 points. If not for the defensive score, romo would not be getting all this credit and we probably lose the game.

we're praising the defense that kept the giants to 6 points the majority of the game.

Defense played much better than I thought. I figured they would play better than they have recently too. They did make key stops throughout the game, not going to stop even a below average offense all the time.
I will give props to the defense.

Takeaways are the defense's saving grace. Thank you Monte Kiffin.

 

[Fletch]

I think the defenses ought to thank mother nature. On both sides really. Reminded me of the Eagles game where Foles suddenly couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

By that logic, we don't deserve those wins. Don't work that way.

7 points produced by the offense in the first half. 17 for the game.

As long as they add them up together who cares where the points come from? It's a team effort! Romo outplayed Eli in his house.

Well add one more win to that win/loss stat because Pats gave up 280 rushing yards and yet beat Broncos

 

[Kaiser]

This is the first game I can remember in a long time where a team that couldn't stop the run at all still won the game.

 

[percyhoward]

This is the first game I can remember in a long time where a team that couldn't stop the run at all still won the game.

Since 2000, defenses that allow 2 passing TD, get no INT, and allow 200+ yards rushing in a game are 1-59.

Make that 2-59.

 

[morasp]

Take away the calls against Claiborne and Carr and you potentially don't have to have a last second field goal to win. I thought that Carr barely touched him and it also looked like it was within five yards of the line of scrimmage. The Holding on TWill was much worse than either of them and cost us a potential touchdown. Aikman even piped up and he's usually very unbiased with the Cowboys.

weird...i thought it was 21-21 with :04 left on the clock. the "majority" of the game doesnt count with me...its the whole game.

plus gave up 202 yards on the ground.

absolutely horrible.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Why the Giants even threw the ball is baffling, the Defense couldn't stop the run all day yet the Giants were trying to pass way too much..

 

[Smith22]

Wow. The rush defense got trucked ALL DAY long. Yes, the pass defense finally came through, but don't count on winning too many games when allowing 200+ yards rushing.

Red zone efficiency saved the day. 2/2 in the red zone and a clutch game winning drive.

 

[dropdeadfred5]

We were lucky the Giants believe all this garbage about the rush not being too important and instead of running more they kept trying to pass.

We should have hoped they kept running the ball so they could kick more field goals instead of touchdowns.

 

[jblaze2004]

sean lee cleaned up alot in this defense. You need a GOOD MLB to stop the run in this D. Sims was out of place more than prince in a rap video. We need to go look at the market. Convince the bears old star MLB brian U to come out lol we need someone. Sims took horrible routes to the ball carrier, or was easily misdirected or just read the play wrong smh.
