Tough game indeed as they are the hottest team in the NFC. Our defense will be put to the test, Eli Manning and Burress scares me a lot as our secondary has not prove that they can handle those two. Brandon Jacobs is another guy to watch out for.

Lets go Cowboys. Bring your A game please.

Wade Phillips has serious trouble disciplining these guys. All the penalties are killing us.

Romo with a stupid throw that got picked off and now Eli is on the verge of scoring a TD to get the lead. Our defense still cannot stop Jacobs or Shockey. Not to mention we had over 5 penalties that has been costly.

ok WTF was that????? Now the Giants have the momentum because of that Idiot Kevin Burnett. Why did he taunt? He needs to be punished and get waived.

That idiot could have caused us the game.

I swear I hate you Kevin Burnett....what an idiotic penalty. Why would you taunt someone with 1 second left? You just caused us the freaking game most likely.

I swear Wade Phillips has no control over this team.

Our defense GAVE them that damn first TD on a bunch of stupid penalties, then a FG after they gave up the half. 10 damn points, just like that!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmy Johnson just went off on Kevin Burnett during the halftime show. THAT is what we need in the lockeroom right now, Jerry needs to outsource halftime speaches to Jimmy.

It makes me sad to think what we would have had if Jerry hadnt pushed Jimmy out the door.

Can our D step up and not commit anymore stupid penalties? I doubt it.

This team seriously gives me a heart attack sometime. Terrible 1st half because of our stupid penalties and lack of discipline. Good thing our offense showed poise once again. Romo and TO did an excellent job, Romo did have one idiotic throw. Good thing he redeemed himself.

Good win but I am still worried a lot for this team. We get another defensive team next week.

For now good win but I cannot rest.

Great game by the Cowboys. This is the type of game where the Cowboys of recent times would always come up short.

Some notes:
- Garrett continues to amaze me with playcalling. He seems to get a feel for the other team and just attacks. I think he is the biggest reason for the 3rd quarter bust outs.
- Romo . . . what a stud. There are a lot of times where I don't believe what I am seeing.
- Defense didn't look great, particularly Roy on Shockey. I'm to the point where I think that Watkins should come in on passing downs.
- Ware is a one man gang though. He seems to be around the ball on every play.

Overall, its fun to be a Cowboys fan again.

The D looked really porous in the first half but gelled nicely in the second (surprised the midgets didn't run Jacobs more than they did). I think once Tank gets a few games under his belt, the Cowboys' pass rush will be menacing.

I guess Roy is never going to learn to stop playing for the big hit and focus on the guy he's covering.


Offense was good all round even though Witten and Barber were shut down for most of the game.

That Giants D might have been the best the NFC has seen the last few weeks. Who is going to slow us down?

Our offensive line is great. Our QB is the man.

Meanwhile, our defense had a REALLY good game, pressuring Eli all day long. 5 sacks I think. Tons of pressure too forcing some INTs too. Tank got his first sack in his first game. Spencer had a good sack too, man, he has an extra gear to cover a lot of ground fast, can't wait till he is able to do it every single week the same way.

Thought the Cowboys defense played well except for the flags and Shockey's big game. Ware was a freaking beast on the field. They made Buress go bye-bye for almost the entire game and really beat up the other Manning pretty good. Question to the Giants why do you have man to man coverage on Owens for the entire game?

Three weeks will be huge if the Boys get bye the Skins and the Jets.

Only way to prevent Witten from owning them again?
