Dallas must win so as to not provide any brething room or healing for the Giants. I love how Parcells has no inkling of loyalty to the Giant organization, his teams aren't there anymore so now he is a full blooded Cowboy!:D

Coughlin's getting away from the run late in the game must have Tiki fuming even more.

After the dust settles from the Tom-Tiki feud this week, the conviction to run run run will be overwhelming.

Fergy and Company must squish Tiki - if they do, the collapse will be total!

You're absolutely right.

We must expect a heavy dose of Tiki/Jacobs. The key for the Titans today was stopping the run on first down. When the Giants were able to run for 5 yards on first down, the Titans couldn't stop them.

I'm worried about the way our run defense has played lately. We're going to have to get it fixed.

And, Cowboy fans, let's not forget what happened with us last year. We were pummeled by the Skins 35-7. That looked like a season ender. But what happened the next week?

We beat the Panthers on the road.

The Giants will be playing for pride next week.

They'll be a dangerous team. If we can get on them early, then I think we'll handle them.....the key is to get them out of the game early.

As the skins proved.......a team with their backs against the wall are very very dangerous.

I'm not crying over NY's loss (duh), but I kinda preferred
to play them coming off a win. Now they'll be doubly determined to beat us.

I cannot wait for this game. We need to deal with the G-men the same way we played the Colts. Knock the living crap out of their receivers whenever they touch the ball, get in Forrest-eli's face all day long and rattle his teeth at every opportunity, and completely shut down Barber (for once).

Good old fashioned smash mouth football. We need to shut them down early to take the crowd out of the game, then rip their hearts out and pass it around for the Cowboys to each take a healthy bite out of ala 'Dances with Wolves'. Let's send Tiki into retirement with a loss he'll have nightmares about for years!

GO COWBOYS!!!

Very true.

But the Skins also had two weeks to prepare for us.

I'm a pessimist when it comes to Cowboy games anymore. My faith was robbed when Irvin went down in Philly. Luck seemed to be against us then.

That's why I look at all the facts dealing with the game and cringe...
--we're coming off of two HUGE wins, the Giants have lost (how many in a row?)
--Romo looks like the real deal....Eli is fading
--the Giants are beat up...I won't finish the rest of the statement (although you know where I'm going with this)
--the Giants are coming off of a draining loss...we're coming off of ten days rest

Everything points to a big cowboy win. That's what worries me. We've bucked trends all season though. Maybe we'll do the same here.

Losses like today's are season enders.

Maybe, but somehow they are going to play hard against our resurging Cowboys to regain their respectability. We are in first place but if they beat us next week we are both tied for first place.

I think we win......But, We will have to play as well or better as we played against the Colts.

Things that concern me.

1. Their backs are against the wall

2. Home field

3. Weather?????

I've thought about the weather issue often.

I don't know that it favors them if there's bad weather.

I mean, Eli's arm isn't exactly a howitzer. He didn't play all that well in our second game last year. Romo is from Wisconsin. He's been in bad weather before. Also, Eastern Illinois isn't exactly a tropical environment.

Columbo, Rivera, Gurode, Adams all hail from colder environments.

They may have an advantage with their running game....we'll have to see. Ours is pretty good too.

Don't forget also where Romo played college ball.. it wasn't exactly the greatest of weather there also.
