Giants received 86 yards in Dallas penalties. Dallas received 25 in Giant penalties.

That's the beginning and end of it.

The do think this will motivate the team going forward.

We gave up 230 yards.
What I don't understand, Adam is the idea that's floating around that the defense cost us the game. I thought they played solidly overall and very well in the second half.

Everything cost us the game.

The defense cost us the game because Greg Ellis and Anthony Henry couldn't tackle Amani Toomer, letting him run for a 52-yard TD catch.

The defense cost us the game because Jacques Reeves couldn't cover in the prevent D, allowing the Giants to drive 71 yards in 40 seconds for the tying touchdown.

The defense cost us the game because Reeves again couldn't cover, and Ellis couldn't keep containment, leading to the Giants' go-ahead touchdown.

The defense cost us the game because nobody stepped up and forced a turnover.

The offense cost us the game because we couldn't score more than 17 points against a banged-up defense, for numerous reasons (take your pick: Romo's erratic passes and decisions, Crayton's drop, Crayton's half-hearted route, Gurode's snaps, Davis' penalty, Glenn's penalty, Owens' injury, Barber wearing down, Barber not getting out of bounds, the line slowly getting worse throughout the game, Garrett's play selection, etc.).

The offense cost us the game because when we had a first down on the Giants' 22, with the clock stopped at 31 seconds left, with a timeout still in our pocket and with our season on the line, needing a touchdown to win and advance in the playoffs, we WENT BACKWARD AND COMMITTED A TURNOVER over the next series of downs.

Special teams cost us the game because Keith Davis couldn't tackle R.W. McQuarters, letting him return a punt to our 37 to set up the winning touchdown.

The coaches cost us the game because they didn't coach/inspire us to victory.

The fans cost us the game because they're too quiet, except when we have the ball.

There's no shortage of people to blame.

This needs to be a sticky, very concise yet thorough analysis of the game!!!

yep...fair enough...

reeves needs to be upgraded, ST defense was poor and penalties....these stand out for me...also not being able to exploit giants secondary.

yep. penalties in the first half handed he giants two touchdowns. an offsides call keeps a giants drive alive for a first down. personal foul on jacques reeves does the same thing.

You forgot that part about Anthony Fasano dropping an easy TD.
