@TroyAikman on @dfwticket: Eli Manning is a streaky quarterback.
When Eli is on, he's on. When he's off, you wonder what he's thinking on a particular throw.
Eli is one of these QB's who, when pressured, will unload it without knowing if the receiver is really open.
Prior to SF, you'd look at Eli's numbers and think he's having a good year.
#NYG's offense has been good, but also wildly inconsistent.
When #NYG was good, they were dominant on both sides of the ball. They've not done either particularly well.
#NYG's OL reminds him of Dallas' OL four years ago: old guys that haven't yet been replaced.
Odell Beckham is the only guy you need to concern yourself with.
Romo's back will be fine if he doesn't take any hits during this 3-game, 12-day stretch.
We, the #Cowboys, felt like we had an advantage on Thanksgiving, but that's not the case with Thursday games.
I've always felt whoever is hosting the T-Day game should travel the week prior.
I've also always felt the visitors on T-Day should have a home game the week prior. Balances things out.
Playing the #Eagles in the series' first game on a short week will be a challenge, not only for Romo, but every1

I think Jay Gruden felt he needed to say something because it sounds like RG3 lost the locker room.
I was hearing people tell me the locker room wanted Colt McCoy after beating the #Cowboys.
Sounds like RG3 is anything but a great leader; more like a selfish player looking out for his own self-interest.
As a franchise QB, you have to accept responsibility publicly.
My experience is who the media believes is the big leader on a team actually isn't.

Repeating is always hard. When you win the Super Bowl, coming back, it's not the same.
After the first Super Bowl, it all changes. It's not about winning. It turns into "how did you win"?
Hol' up on the dynasty talk. #Seahawks. They are still a really good team.
Personality issues with Percy Harvin showed up in training camp, not really before.
The Percy Harvin mistake cost the #Seahawks Golden Tate. They wouldn't have let Tate go if knew Harvin was cray.
I wouldn't bet against the #Seahawks going forward. Lot of confidence in John Schneider.

disagree with Troy on the "Odell is the only guy you need to concern yourself with." comment

I am concerned a bit because he is right, Eli can be on or off. What will he be Sunday night.
Not that he can shoulder the load for the Giants. But it is a rival game on the road.

I almost never disagree with stuff Troy has to say. I know I'm in the minority, but I like him better now than I liked him even back when he was a player. It's easier to see how much he really brought to the team with his intelligence and his personality.

How did we go an entire interview with Troy not fluffing the Fecals?

Yeah. Just months ago, most "experts" were all but guaranteeing Seattle would be a "dynasty" due to the age and talent of the overall roster. Not looking so good now.

Not only do I agree, I think the league should do this for every Thursday game.

Then again I don't think it's fair for west coast teams to fly back east and play a noon game either.
