sidenote ... my team this playoffs is green bay. represent the norris.
Really, despite Jags, Seahawks, Chargers, and Giants fans, is there anybody who really doesn't want to see Cowboys vs. Packers and Pats vs. Colts for the Conference championships?
Blitz, I dont hate em because they talk trash. They just didnt give Dallas any respect after they came into NY and beat them for a second time by 10 points. Osi said they were still the better team, um Osi you just lost by DD twice this season just admit you got beat by the better team. I have played football before, not any college ball tho.
Now there is another chance for the giants to beat dallas. But they still havent fixed their coverage woes. Dallas is still a team that can expose your linebackers and safties for what they really are.

you always have to eliminate from everything.. don't you Joe. lol.
Except politically. There I'm all big tent all the time.
Go Obama.
Oh, and for the record, I'm pretty sure the Steelers beat the Browns three times in one year the last time Cleveland went to the playoffs, I think that happens to the Giants this week--mostly because those f**kers should have won the game in NY and p*ssed it away.
And about Moss again, remember that he took a pay cut COMING to NE.
true, but alot of that was because he just wanted to get the hell outta dodge.. plus his value and stock is worth a helluva lot more after this year than it was after last.
Yeah, he did that in part so he could delay the payday. Moss likes him some money ("straight cash, homey"), but he'll fight for some money after this season. Then Brady might have to call him up and lay the smack down. If he listens, he'll get a bump, but not what he thinks he's worth, if he doesn't, he'll move on. Because the Pats don't play that s**t.
Dallas did sweep the Giants, but that does NOT mean they are the better team right now.. as in TODAY...
you and I both know that first game coulda gone either way... it was 3rd and 7 and the Cowboys had the ball with a couple minutes left in the game and they were only up by 3... if the Giants stop them there, Giants coulda driven down the field for a tie or win... but McQuarters fell on his ass and Hurd caught a quick slant and ran it all the way.. that's why it was a 10 pt game... Eli didn't even bother coming out anymore after that...
the home game was more Dallas, but the Giants have been great on the road this year and that's where they rematch Dallas this weekend...
besides, since when did sweeping a team mean they are the better team... I thought it just meant you have a teams' number...
Chicago swept the Packers this year.. so what's your point?
you are talking about the first game of the season about that first loss? A lot of things have changed by then, no?
The home game was more Dallas? Yea I know that I watched that game.
But i havent played football before so i dont know what i'm talking about, right?
So sweeping a team means that they are the better team? No it just says that they beat them TWICE by 10 each!
Why do you bring up one article from the past? Is that supposed to be historically significant? I wouldn't put too much stock into that theory. Lets analyze the match in hand THIS weekend. Not something that happened years ago, thats just silly.

Yes Dallas hasn't been playing so hot lately. But they haven't exactly played bad football. Everyone wants to think the Giants are playing hot right now and Dallas is terrible now. Thats fine if you want to look at the last 4 games of the season, even though both teams went 2-2 in that span. Granted one of the Giants losses was against an undefeated team, but the cowboys also went into a buzzsaw the final week of the season with little motivation and their backups.
I love how there are two totally separate conversations going on in this one thread.
To the Dizz/BB conversation, f**king O'Hara, that guy's absence was supposed to be my ace in the hole last week. Only it turns out that it's TB's line that decides they can't block. F**kers.
Still, if he's out again, I do like Dallas. I'm beginning to think TO doesn't play this weekend, which means he'll sulk on the sidelines, and his absence is huge, but I still think Dallas can sin--IF they can generate pressure on Eli. Eli's the classic case of if you put pressure on him, it all goes to s**t, if not, he can pick you apart.
To the Goop conversation, I do think Moss humbled himself a bit this year, but I also think he learned a lesson in Oakland, saw the way Porter was handling it, and knew that was the way to get the hell out of there.
I'd agree that he's grown up somewhat, but the guy just set a record for TD catches, you don't think he's going to come looking for some more cake? And, really, why shouldn't he?
I think they give him another one or two year deal, nothing that breaks the bank, and it will be up to him if he's willing to live with not being the highest paid receiver in the game and staying with the Pats, or if he wants to go to, you know, TB, make a lot of money and potentially never be heard from again like he was in Oakland.
I still say he ends up sticking around in NE.
by the way, I'm leaning UNDER as well...
the Giants led the league in sacks... and just because they only got to Romo once in each game doesn't mean they didn't pressure and hurry him... they only got to Garcia once last week, but they were literally all over his ass all game long.. that's all you need to do to make a quarterback uncomfortable enough to start making mistakes and start missing receivers on crucial downs.

I'm aware that they lead the league in sacks, I was giving props to dallas oline play for only given up 2 of them. Tampa's oline is terrible, do you think NY will be able to bring the same pressure vs. dallas oline without getting exposed in coverage? There is a big hole right in the middle of the Giants defense.
