I guess that's why they're practicing with a wet ball.

Imagine this game...

Dallas Cowboys AT New York Giants, High Noon...
NFC East prime time epic battle...
First place on the line!
First game of December!
Bill Parcells on the COWBOY sideline...

Aint gonna get much better than this.

I am really looking forward to it.

 

[Aikmaniac]

Super. The Cowboys don't play well in freezing conditions as far back as I can remember.

C'mon OL...we need you this week for sure.

 

[WoodysGirl]

I don't think it's that bad...

Bledsoe's got plenty of experience playing in this kind of weather...
Glenn and Key should have some experience too, even tho it hasn't been recent...
Barber played in Minnesota, right? He should be fine.. Julius, I'm not so sure.

Basically, I think we'll see an even more conservative game than we've seen since '03. All running game w/just enuff passess to keep the D honest.

Expect the Giants to have a similar game plan...

I would have to believe this would favor the Giants.

 

[Martice]

Actually they were originally predicting rain in the morning and sun in the afternoon. Now they are predicting rain/snow in the evening with the Temps reaching a high of 40 degrees.

I don't think we see snow during the game.

I think it favors Bledsoe over a young Eli.

 

[Phoenix-Talon]

Snow on the ground means limited running game.

Uncertain about Bledsoe, Glen and KeShawn, but Shockey, Plaxico, Toomer, and Eli Manning are practicing in that type climate as we speak ...advantage G-Men!

Does not matter if they are practicing in it- its the overall experience level. JJ was from ND, cold there; MB Minny; Bledsoe just spent 3 years in Buffalo; Key was in NY; Glenn was in GB, should not be a problem. If it is slick it favors the WR's; RB's will not be able to cut back(even if BP lets them) or juke much. Straight running- IF THE HOLES are there. All comes down to the O line. Helps the O line in that the speed rushers will be slipping and sliding as well.

If that's the case, we just might get a Thompson sighting... U know that's all he can do. No juking, no breaking ankles. Just hit the hole and go...

drew has played his all life in cold conditons washington st. then ne for a long time and buffalo is the coldest place in the country.... hell be fine

Bad weather usually helps the team with the better defense.

I think that's us.

It will also help to neutralize the pass rush of their DE's...that's a good thing too.

That's probably true. Down here in Mississippi where Eli played college ball, it rarely snows. It does get cold sometimes though.

Still, Bledsoe's years in frigid NE should have him prepared for any snowstorm.

Snow in MS?????

To me thats key, bang the ball hard straight at them. In bad weather dancing and jukeing wont get it done.

 

[Yeagermeister]

At least we don't have to worry about Leon Lett making another boneheaded play

 

[Everlastingxxx]

I think this is to the Cowboys advantage. A cold crowd doesn’t make as much noise? Also, it will become a defensive battle like someone said, which means a close game that will go down to the wire. Great.

 

[lurkercowboy]

We can spin anything, but it will come down to blocking and tackling.

j/k

The last time I saw snow was, I think, 1993. We had like a few flurries in 2001, but nothing stuck and it only lasted for less than an hour.
