Just back from the game! Thoughts....

[dmq]

-Great game. Sure glad the boys won, but just a great game. Winning in Giants Stadium is no small feat. Combine that with the NFC East on the line and this victory was just plain huge!

-Great fans. They were loud for most of the game. I really thought a few times we could have taken the crowd out of the game, but we kept them in it for the whole game.

- One funny scene was in the bathroom where a guy had a pink hat on. A guy said" don't tell me a guy in the the mens room has a pink hat on." "Buddy you're in the wrong bathroom." He kept ragging the guy endlessly. Telling everyone to cover up their you know what when he was using the yernal.... Really funny stuff.

-I had a fun time with the fans. No bad scenes and they were pretty respectful of the Cowboy fans. I went to the Bills game last week and they are just over the top compared to any NFL team I have seen. Bills fans are just crazy!!! I once saw a fan at a Bills game last year jump from the 3rd level to the 2nd level to avoid security. Amazingly enough he kept running on the 2nd level, but was caught. I bet he hurt the next day....

-Serveral times I heard Giants fans cursing at the fact that Romo got away from the defender. One fan remarked, "Romo just keeps getting out of our grasp. How does he keep getting away?" I bet you never heard them say that about Bledsoe. A Giants fan at the end of the game remarked about how Romomania continues!!!!

-We should be very happy to get this win. I knew it wouldn't be easy. We didn't look great, but I kept thinking at different points of the game that, "Wow, we aren't playing great but we are still right in this game."

-Giants fans when they were leaving the stadium looked like they were walking straight to their grave.

- I am sure you picked up on this, but we can't get to the QB and we can't run the ball. Yet we still won the game! I miss Greg Ellis!

I want 1st rd next year to be a stud RB after this game or OL or someone that looks like Demarcus Ware.

Nice comments. And you made some very good and valid points.
You have to keep in mind that we cant play perfectly every week. this was a very tough game, and the cowboys were able to come out of this one alive

I was actually thinking about the Cowboys NOT drafting the guy Wimbley from Florida State... Instead Bobby Carpenter is looking lost...

I know everyone wants to get down on the pass rush, but i really didnt see anything exotic out there. i think BP wanted to keep the game in front of the defense and make Manning Work his way down the field. And earn TD's. The last thing BP wanted was us rushing hard and them to go over the top on us, and get a big play that swings the game in their favor.

And on a final note on the defense

how is they get inside the 5 twice TWICE people, and come away with FG's, but they still get ragged on.

I kept thinking Parcells was playing conservative (small ball) and for the most part Coughlin was trying to keep Eli from costing them the game. One thing I have heard several Giants fans mad about was how they should have won the game. Well, Cowboys had a few that got away also that kept the Giants in the Game. Simply put, we are the better team.

I think Burnett needs to get the starting nod and rotate with Singleton, Carpenter still is adapting to the speed of the pro game.

I was screaming for Reggie Bush when we picked myself...

It doesn't seem like Julius is getting it done. He looks mediocre at best and when you compare him to a really good running back (Tiki), he's terrible, almost never makes anything happen.

 

[OkCowboyFan]

Love to hear about the events and perceptions of fans at the game.

I get crucified around here every time I say most competent RBs could get 1200 yards surrounded by all of these weapons

When a guy is in his 3rd year and ALREADY LOOKS LIKE HE HAS LOST A STEP...that means he is not a starting RB. I mean let's not forget Troy Hamrbrick had like 980 yards in Parcells first year....and this is keeping in mind that Parcells benched for many games after 3 or 4 carries. A real RB, an average FS....and either an imporved Carpenter (my fingers are crossed) or manimal opposite Ware would put us on a 5 year run of COMPETING for the Super Bowl.

 

[Aikbach]

You would barely hit 1000 yards if you had his body but split carries with Marion Barber. Dallas doesn't have Emmitt Smith anymore, they split the duties up by commitee. It works, they win, I'm happy.

 

[Daudr]

It's truly amazing how many people on this board just don't get our running game. If JJ was given all the carries (provided he could stay healthy) he would be a 1500 yard, 12 TD guy. The fact is, we - and MBIII - BENEFIT from the two back approach.

 

[morasp]

I could be biased but it seemed like the Giants were were blatanly holding on almost every play. Ware got his share of attention from more than one blocker.

I watched carpenter in slow motion on tivo on one play and he looked really good. Stood up the blocker came of the blocker and made the stop on Barber for little or no gain.

 

[STSINAZ]

keep in the mind that all the young guys will get better in the offseason,,carpenter wont look so lost, canty may even improve his passrush abilities along with spears and you know hatcher and ratliff will get better...we have alot of upside...stillwant a serious OLB that can get to the qb though

 

[Sarge]

What is a yernal?

 

[CrazyCowboy]

thanks for the report.....and the win!

Not me, I was hoping we'd pick A.J. Hawk.

After what Reggie Bush did yesterday, I'm even more convinced we should have drafted him or Vince Young.
