What's the key to victory this week?

[TVMan]

1. Sustained drives / T.O.P.
2. Scoring Touchdowns in the redzone
3. Forcing the run
4. Barber all day
5. Witten all day
6. Glenn deep
7. T.O. plays possum
8. Triple cover Burress
9. Don't let the young "big" TE have the middle
10. Block for Romo

What's one thing that will give us this win?

 

[FolsomCowboy]

Knock Eli on his can early and often

 

[joseephuss]

Protect Romo and pressure Eli.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Defense is the key this week. Knock down Eli and get into his head.

I think we have to stop the run, because their chance to beat us would be for Bigmouth Jacobs to get rolling and them to control the clock. But I think we can do that, as we've been good against the run all year.

And then we have to pressure or confuse Manning into mistakes. Which, again, we can do. They pass protect well, but still, we all know how erratic Manning can be. He's probably due for a bad game anyway.

I actually was more concerned about Tampa before yesterday, just because Garcia is experienced in big games and the Tampa cover-2 is the best way to limit Romo IMO. Obviously Tampa wasn't as good as I thought, because the Giants don't impress me at all. Look for Terry Glenn to be a terror in man coverage when they bring extra pressure.

stop the run and pressure Manning

 

[anava]

Score more points.

Yea I agree with cl.

On the surface I think it is stop the run and make manning throw on third and long.

I have a feeling they will throw early as long as the game is tied or they are behind. Throwing on first and second down and then having the option to run or pass on third and short is how manning will be effective.

I can see them spreading us out and then running out of that set with bradshaw also.

The biggest key is going to be, dont fall behind. Play with the lead and the pressure will always be on Eli Manning.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Run the football effectively so 3rd downs are managable, stop the run, and protect the football!

 

[THUMPER]

Score more points.

You beat me to it.

 

[DasTex]

Romo is the biggest key. If he plays well, we can't be stopped. No matter if the defense is playing like dog poo, he'll find a way to win.

If Romo plays like the last 3 weeks...then who knows??

 

[triplets92]

protect Romo and our linebackers have to be on key

 

[EPL0c0]

Key: Tackling!

 

[kojak]

Pressure Eli, stop Jacobs, double Plexiglass, and keep toomer in check since he seems to be Eli's new security blanket. Oh and score more points than them.

 

[Chief]

It's all about Tony Romo, IMO.

If he's right and playing well, Dallas wins.

If he plays bad, they lose.

 

[Doomsday101]

1st Protect Romo, the Giants secondary can be ripped apart if we can give Romo the time. 2nd stop the Giants running attack and make them rely on the passing game. I do think Dallas will be able to get to Manning and force him into mistakes if we can keep him in passing situations

 

[AdamJT13]

Am I really the first to mention winning the turnover battle?

 

[Mavs Man]

Health.

If our OLine is healthy, T.O. is back (and serviceable), and Romo is clicking, we will be hosting a second playoff game next Sunday.

Am I really the first to mention winning the turnover battle?

that is too obvious!!!

Special teams, field position and turnovers are always the talking points!!!!

 

[Doomsday101]

Am I really the first to mention winning the turnover battle?

That is the mistakes I'm talking about. I think we can foce Manning into mistakes
