I kept thinking that too. I was thinking, "this can't be so easy...these games are never easy."

It's rare a division-rival game isn't close.

When we were only up 6 but dominating, I was scared it would change quickly. After it was 13-0, I thought there was no way we would lose.

I can see that if you are just a casual football fan. If you are really vested it was pure Gold. When Collins slammed Eli to the ground my house went NUTS!!!!!

nope.

cowboys stuck to their guns in the second half and kept running the ball. Chris jones was amazing punting and this is a great recipe for winning.

I remember dominating the Commanders and being up 13-0 ... before Bill Parcells rested on his laurels, and we lost 14-13. Horrible game.

I'm glad it didn't happen again.

Have you ever seen one of those videos where a giant snake is slowly swallowing a large pig or goat?
:laugh::thumbup:

So we are Cowboycondas now? Dallas Pythons?

I do like the metaphor as it pretty much describes how we squeezed the life out of them.

that was some bad defence at the end of the game, allowing a non entity like Santana Moss to beat us twice deep. We blew that one when it was 3rd and 28 and we let Brunell run for what 25 yards on 3rd down.

I thought so. The Giants were completely inept, so while it's great to see them suck and our D do good, it's not satisfying like it would be against a team with even a minimally capable offense. It still would have been fun if we had put 40 on them or something and just had a fun blowout, but the offense piddled around and struggled to make things happen most of the game as well.

NFL.com called last night's game a "snooze-fest."

I suppose for many football fans it was boring.
-Only one TD in game
-Not lot of big splash plays
-Giants weren't competitive and game wasn't close

Me? I was just grateful we won with ease and given the opponent...quite happy for the generally low-risk offense.


Me personally.... I like games like that.
We are way ahead.
We seal deal at end.

I'm still spoiled from 90's.
I love blowout, no contest wins!

It's all about the end result. The win! That's my ride.... I don't need the ... you have to enjoy the journey. Lol

Just the win! :)

Anytime our Defense looks that good no game can be boring. Ha. But i truly think it was a product of complete inept of the Giants offense and o line and injuries

Defensive player at heart, loved the thumping of the Giants' offense and Ellen particularly.

It was really boring if you were an impartial observer. Non-competitive field-goal kicking game.

Not for me but I can see how it could be for a non-fan. The same way GB-Seattle game was boring for me.

The question cannot be answered because it contradicta logic.

Logic is a science that uses sturctured reasoning to reach correct conclusions.

Please allow me to demonstrate:

It was a Dallas Cowboy game.

Therefore,

It was a heartpounding, electrifying, on the edge of your seat experience until victory was absolutely assured...

.....until there was absolutely no chance of an Eli engineered two TD's in less than two minutes, Santanna Moss-like nightmare....

Consider,

This description is the complete oppoaite of boring.

Therefore,

A contradiction exists.

Conclusions:

The game was boring = False statement

Furthermore,

Anyone claiming the game was boring should be required to take those internet "i am not a robot" tests......for a 72 hour period without stopping.

You see, the discipline of Logic can be a valuable tool when applied properly.

It wasn't boring but I wouldn't call it super exciting either. The crowd felt a little out of it and I can understand why. There wasn't a ton of huge plays and it was more of a slugfest. In the end though, I didn't care because the Cowboys won and that's all I care about

I enjoyed the hell out of that game; there was a chess match happening throughout. McAdoo was not at all prepared.

Sure, it was a boring and methodical beat down. As a Cowboys fan I approved wholeheartedly. Gspots fans whining and rest of the NFL too. We are one of 4-5 VERY good looking teams early on.

I enjoyed seeing us dominate and play mistake-free football more than being on the edge of my seat for 3.5 hours in a high-scoring shootout.
