Cowboys should be praying they don't face Giants a third time this season

Special contributor Matt Mosley recently held a chat. Here are some highlights.

Aren't the Giants a better football team than the Cowboys?

Mosley: "I think the Cowboys are a better offensive team than the Giants. I really do. Eli still makes a ton of mistakes, there's no consistent running game. Spagnuolo has done a great job with the defense. But Rod's defense is playing well, too. I still think the Cowboys are the better overall team. But they should be praying they don't have to face the Giants a third time."

Playmaker says Jerry's keeping Romo in the news to make sure he remains a valuable asset. Does that sound right to you?

Mosley: "Jerry is posturing. He also feels extremely close to Tony and wants to keep him in the conversation. As predicted by Jerry, Dak tuned out the noise and played a great game vs Tampa. Now, I hear folks saying he checks down too much. I'm just amazed sometimes what folks will say to try and justify their beliefs in Romo. And some of these same folks have complained about Tony for years. Folks can't stand prosperity."

Where does Zeke's peek-a-boo celebration rank in your TD celebration power rankings?

Mosley: "Ahhh I love it. I still get a kick out of Mike Furrey from the Lions throwing the ball at the ornamental star at Texas Stadium and having that thing fall down. It was just a great visual. The Owens celebration on the star will always rank up there because of Teague's response. Who can forget Marc Colombo being penalized for a TD celebration? Wait, you don't remember that one?"

I don't want to play them a third time either. Not the best match up but it will be a good game.

CATCH17 · Dec 21, 2016

Bring them on.

They barely beat us both times. If they can beat us 3 times in 1 season than good for them but that is too tough against a team like Dallas.

I honestly would rather play them than the packers. They are playing much better now than when we beat them

CowboyGil · Dec 21, 2016

I honestly don't think the Giants can beat us 3 times in one season. Our defense just keeps getting better and healthier, and Dez would have a chip on his shoulder from the game in NY.Good gosh, I hope there was a flag for offensive holding on that play!

Mosley enjoyed mike furrey throwing the ball at the star at texas stadium in that final game of the 06 season tells me all i need to know about mosley who I really can't stand anyway.

This is dumb. I'm not scared of the Giants at all. They have beat us by a combined 4 points. First game was Dak's first pro game. The 2nd game was his worst game as a pro. We were in both games and a couple things go just a little different we win both games. I promise you every body on our team would love to play the Giants again. I hope we see them in the playoffs.

That's the reason I only read Sturm, for the most part. He has no agenda...he just lays out the X's and O's and explains himself very well. The rest of the DFW media are a bunch of no talent hacks, IMO.

I wouldn't be afraid to play them again. The first time Dak was a rookie and the 2nd time our entire team sucked. They don't score enough points nor do they limit turnovers to prevent us from winning the game.

For some reason the illegal use of the walkie talkies isn't getting much publicity.

I can only imagine the media storm if it were Dallas or New England who used those.

Bring on the Giants in our building. Should be fun.

DCBoysfan · Dec 21, 2016

I think the LiL giants loose tomorrow night.

Proximo · Dec 21, 2016

I would GLADLY play them in the divisional round, assuming we are the #1 seed. This would mean that they entered the playoffs as a wildcard and when they step onto our field it would be their 4th consecutive road game. (Finished the season with 2 on the road + a playoff game as a visitor). They'll be in bad shape.

DFWJC · Dec 21, 2016

There are no real complete teams in the NFC...or maybe in the NFL for that matter.

On a given day, Dallas can beat any of the Giants, Packers, Seahawks, and Falcons.
And if they get the bye week, they only have to beat 2 of them to make it to the SB.
Won't be easy, but it can happen...especially if Dallas gets home field.

Shuff · Dec 21, 2016

I would love to play the Giants a third time, no way we lose. Guaranteed!

Interesting point...never thought of that.

Doomsday101 · Dec 21, 2016

As Irvin said it is hard to beat any team 3 times in a row, if Dallas faces NY great I would welcome it.

erod · Dec 21, 2016

This season won't feel right until Dallas beat the Giants.

I used to think this too, but he has been pretty bad with his analysis and prone to extreme hyperbole this year.

MRV52 · Dec 21, 2016

Bring them on those FRAUDS. Lucked 2 games in a row and so overrated.
