Weather for the game in NJ

[The Quest for Six]

Great news. Eli is in for 5 picks

Giants had six turnovers week one against Dallas and still almost won

Eli has played in plenty of cold weather games and Romo is from Wisconsin. But the winds will always affect a passing game.

Well good, because Romo throws much tighter spirals than Eli does.

Not really. The Giants were behind 36-24 and scored with 15 seconds left in the game. Garbage time drive and garbage time points. I don't think even Dallas' defense would have allowed a score in 15 seconds had New York recovered the onside kick. Maybe....

Yes the Cowboys barely won. It was a miracle, really. Strait crazy. (The Cowboys pretty much had control of the game throughout.)

And the Cowboys will barely win this Sunday, too. ( 35 - 24 )

Manning will continue his HoF play by throwing interception 18, 19 and 20.

Miles Austin is from New Jersey; we can just throw him the ball a lot.

 

[Passepartout]

Well NJ is going to always be windy in this time of season!

Oh really, is that the same Cowboy defense that allowed Detroit to go down the field in the last minute to win...

Eli still threw for 450 yards and four TD's against that vaunted, I mean "GARBAGE" of a Dallas Defense.., is it better now than week one??

 

[TheCount]

Not going to help our passing game.

Well then it's a good thing we've focused on developing that running game!

Eli played in below zero wind chill in GB during the 2007 NFC title game. Cold weather doesn't seem to affect Eli but it does Romo. Can't remember a game Romo has played well in where they showed him during warmups wearing a ski cap. Every time I see him wearing a ski cap warming up I keep thinking back to the Steelers game up in Pittsburgh in Dec of 08 and the elimination game a few weeks later up in Philly. Romo reportedly has small hands and getting a firm grip on the ball can be a problem in cold weather.

Romo led the Cowboys over the Giants in back to back games in New York against the Giants in '06 and '07 when he wore a winter cap.

He also beat Philadelphia on '07 in similar cool conditions on a Sunday night. Also, beat Washington in Week 16 in 2009 on the road on a Sunday night.

The Pittsburgh game in '08, he was a moron - he played in shirt sleeves (no long sleeve shirt under his jersey). The Philly game in Week 17, the temps were in the 60's.

Neither is targeting Dez twice per game.

LOL come on man that happened ONE game. Your right but I dont wanna hear about Romo forcing the ball. Is there really anything the Cowboys can do right these days?

Define "right."

They have that .500 thing down pat.

We have a passing game?

Yeah, ya know, didn't you see it in New Orleans ?

Cool and "cold" are two different things. Romo was freezing during the Steelers game back in 08. They showed him trying to warm up his bare arms near a heater. From what I can remember the forecast in Philly for the season finale a few weeks later was somewhere in the mid to lower 50's but the winds were kicking up at around 17 mph which would make it feel a lot colder.

 

[KJJ]

That game was epic. Third coldest game time weather in the history of the game. Minus three with windchill of minus 23.

Tom Coughlin's face looked like it was going to freeze solid during the game he was lucky he didn't get frost bite. That ended up being Favre's final game as a Packer.

Just looked up the 2 games:

Pittsburgh: 24 degrees, 20 MPH wind, wind chill 9

Philly: 56 degrees, 17 MPH wind

That's what I remember on the Philly game mid 50's 17 MPH wind. No wonder Romo was running over to the heater to warm up his arms during the Steelers game.

 

[Fansince64]

Colder than the Cincy vs SD AFL title game?

"FREEZER BOWL"
-9 degrees and 35 mph wind...-59 wind chill.

Don't forget the "Ice Bowl" - December 31, 1967 in Greenbay, WI. Kickoff temp of -15 with a windchill of -48. Never forget Bob Hayes actually running routes during the game with his hands stuck in the little hand warmer pocket thing he wore around his waist.

You watch, this year's superbowl will be played in weather of 50 degrees, sunny and no wind. Mara's deal with Satan obviously trumps Jerry's (lol).

One game?.............Dez Bryant ranks 14th in the league in targets. That is NOT acceptable, especially if your are one to believe Dez is a top 5 WR in the league which he is. It is what it is and it ain't pretty. You have to find ways to get him the ball.

they don't do anything right, or anything left...they are squarely in the middle as their .500 record over 20 years shows....


and, I believe the team that is better at protecting the ball and at special teams (punt returns) will win this game...we are better at both
