Official 2007 Dallas Cowboys Thread

Been a slow week, but I finally found out why all the Roy Williams jersey's are on sale.....he's switching back to his college number of 38 next year.

Let's hope Garrett turns down these coach interviews and sticks around a few years for when Wade leaves.

Well, we got the Giants. Tough to beat a team three times in one season.

Defense has got to get to Manning. And everybody we play for that matter. If the deffense does that and TO and Glenn are both there it could be a good day.

Flagg

I hope so. Dallas has won by double digits in both games but TO was big factor in both. He will have to be as close to 100% as possible.

I agree, the defense has to pressure Manning.

Another good thing is that our OL has really handled the Giants DL. Osi and Strahan have been basically non-factors in both games. We'll see!

I saw Strahan call Romo "lucky" and TO "overdone" or something like that a little while back during an interview.....hope they set his ass straight. I just hope Romo hasn't gone too "hollywood" and stays focused.

Can you believe this is the first time the Giants and Cowboys have met in the playoffs? After all this time!

I think that is just what he needs. He needs to get comfortable with the fact that he's banging Jessica Simpson. Then he will regain his focus. I can't help but wonder if he's just been all about that puss recently; I know it can be consuming.

Alright, what does everyone think?

I worry about the Giants and I worry about them and they make me sick at my stomach, and then I sit back and think this: They had only beaten one playoff team this year and that was Washington, before playing Tampa. The Giants were 1-5 in the regular season against teams that eventually went to the playoffs. Tampa wouldn’t have been in the playoffs if they were in another division. They were a sorry excuse for a playoff team with a weak defense and anemic offense that benefitted from being division-mates with Atlanta, Carolina and New Orleans. Someone had to win that damn division.

Everyone says the Giants and Eli Manning are hot right now but they are 2-2 in their last 4 games. That’s red hot?! How, exactly? I don’t get it. Also, in the two previous games against Dallas, that so-called vaunted pass rush was a non-factor. Osi and Strahan haven’t laid a finger on Romo in either game. Dallas OL is much better than their DL and their secondary is as bad if not worse than Dallas’s. Romo’s best days have been his last three games against the Giants. I don’t trust the defense either but they seem to get to Manning. Yeah, he played great against New England, but they didn’t even blitz him until the 4th quarter where he melted down.

Shockey isn’t playing and he torched Dallas last time.

I don’t buy into the whole “tough to beat a team three times” theory. Get this: 53 times has a team met another team three times in the same season. Out of those 53 times, 11 were sweeps. Hold on though, in 17 of those of those chances, one team was up 2-0. And 11 of those 17 ended in three game sweeps. So really, teams are 11 out of 17 when trying to complete a three game sweep in one season.

All that being said, the TO thing worries me, but not too much. I think the Cowboys are being less than truthful about his status. But the key to this game will be Witten (who the Giants have not been able to cover) and MBIII (who the Giants can’t stop).

There is no excuse for Dallas to lose this game. None. They are the better team with better players and better coaching and are at home. And don’t give me that whole “Giants are 8-1 on the road this year” argument either. Guess where the “1” came from?

Cowboys win it 30-17

i agree. i mean... the game should end up this way. if anything worse can happen it means the cowboys choked. and if they're seriously "trying" to win a superbowl then they should completely dominate this game. but as you say... if they don't, there are no excuses. and i think for the most part coming into the playoffs the cowboys haven't been playing as expected. they've been tormentingly disappointing. i mean to the point where you might have to rethink their entire strategy.

PatrickBateman

Ware will get to Eli
Boys-35
Gnats-24

cory

Eli Manning throws 3 picks.

Because he sucks.

Lifted

giants - 34
cowboys - 24

there are two and half minutes left in the game, giants up 27-24. romo is driving, he's got the boys at the giants 40 yard line with a minute and 15 seconds left, clock is kicking, boys are in no hurry........it's 3rd and 2. romo throws a quick out to T.O......but wait! the pass is jumped on by aaron ross.....down the sideline....touchdown. giants win.

I was going to say the same thing! Only with Eli Manning throwing it to Terrance Newman.

Kind of crazy timing to be doing this in the playoffs, but . . .

Jules Jones is benched and MBIII is the starter today.

I guess Jones was really the starter in name only anyway.
