Whats your reaction on this monday?

Eatman said, "the better team won, it just took a long time to get there."

I had a good feeling before the game and even when we got down I never felt dallas was out of it.

Game ball goes to the oline for allowing romo dez murray to do what they do. That last drive was magic. Really exciting game to watch.

We got outta there fairly unscathed. Except for heath ' s broken thumb and church's leg cramps. I will take that, happily, as we have a quick turnaround in the biggest game to date on thanksgiving day.

If not for the church pick. Idk dallas pulls that one out. Romo settled down and took what was given and also made some really nice plays that we had to have. Murray ran hard. And dez did his part.

The only critique I have is the third down defense. It has to improve to beat good teams.

Playoff teams beat teams they're supposed to beat and that's what dallas did last night. I'm happy.

Shame Romo's back has taken the zip off his fastball. I am wondering what it is going to take for Romo to start getting calls for all of the late hits that get put on him.

Have to be able to win games on the road. The record doesn't tell the whole story: this was a tough matchup and we got it done on the road. Great win.Hat's off to the O-Line.

Beasley was big. And I like how dallas executed the screen game as well.

Beasley had 2 huge catches last night, the TD that got us back into the game, started changing momentum IMO. And another long gain for an important 1st down, but the yards was huge.

For a while there, I thought the 2013 Cowboys defense was back, no pressure and couldn't get off the field to save our lives, geez.

I don't know what adjustments were made but we started getting pressure just before the half and after the break.

Our defense is gonna have to be sound on Thursday...I'm not scared of Sanchez at all but if we don't get pressure on him, he will hit the open man ala Colt McCoy.

I tend to agree with Eatman, the Cowboys are just a better team than the Giants and while bad teams can beat superior teams (Washington game) the better team usually wins the game. That fumble that should have gone the Cowboys way was negated when Eli Manning missed a wide open receiver for a TD and it ended up being a interception, that's when I knew the game was over.

It sure looked like the 2013 defense in the first half. But Marinelli adjusted, I'll give him that. The players kept fighting and got the turnover we needed. Tyrone Crawford was really good last night

The was an obvious fumble. I was ticked. But dallas got some calls late. The dez TD and the 4th and 2 call. Both were correct calls imo but could've gone the other way easily.

Reaction Monday - Realize i was fired up and had too much to drink before the game, then got frustrated when it looked like the giants were going to win, then posted dumb rant in the game thread and got called out for it by other posters.

I didn't see any late hits on him that should have been flagged

Also, thought carter and spencer did not play well against the run - especially carter. But maybe others can confirm if that is accurate or not.

Carter was not good in coverage either. He allowed one TD to beckham. Spencer was disappointing but not to the level of carter imo

I agree. I think their play was lazy, I saw that from a lot of guys early in the game but while others stepped up and played more inspired ball in the 2nd half I did not see that same effort out of Carter or Spencer.
