Giants are banged up right now but still have plenty of playmakers and a nasty defense. It's going to be a long day for Kitna. I think Fewell is going to bring the house and let those guys pin their ears back.
Giants took the cowboys lightly and not sure if they are going to lose with 9:22 left and down 13 but if they do lose it makes next week's game against the Eagles even bigger
Cowboys aren't going anywhere without a running game or a passing game led by Kitna. Should be an easy win for the Giants at home.
excuse me??

they lost, and as a New Jersey Giants fan, you should be worried...your team looked like boys among men playing against America's Team, the Dallas Cowboys.
The crow I ate for dinner last night was humbling.
Cowboys looked like a new team last night. Not sure if it's too little, too late, but they were firing on all cylinders.
I think it's more a case of Perry Fewell having called a horrible game, combined with the Giants pass rush having been completely neutralized. Kitna never looked uncomfortable in the pocket. Combine that with the loss of Steve Smith, and the Giants passing game looked similarly out of rhythm. Don't underestimate the loss of 2 starters on the O-line either: the running game yesterday took a big step backwards.
I wonder how long it will take (or even if it ever will), but eventually someone in the front office is going to realize that Eli Manning is at the root of the problem. Plain and simple: he doesn't belong in the same breath as either his father or his brother. You have to give him credit for stepping up and playing the game of his life when the Giants made it to the Super Bowl, but the truth is, they made it that year in spite of him, not because of him.
He doesn't read defenses particularly brilliantly, he hasn't got an amazingly fast release, and he continues to make boneheaded plays (which our friendly local media softens by calling "ill-advised.") He just isn't an exceptional quarterback. But the team painted itself into a corner with all the hype, and they aren't backing down.

Ridiculous..Eli is not the problem. Who put him in the same breath as his brother?? Cmon..injuries are the MAIN problem right now. Since the o line went down so did the running game. Sorry, no team that loses 4 starters on offense is gonna compete ..excepr PAyton ...and he is feeling it now too.
