Yes. Here is a thought provoking question... Would you trade the Cowboys receivers for the Eagles?

I don't know what the Giants are up to.....but I hope they keep it up...:rolleyes:

[Mr. Rod]

Man it's tough being a Giants fan right now. Luckily the Texans are doing good right now.

Not MA, the rest....blah.

[E-Vol-ution]

It's just time for the bandwagon guys to jump ship and the haters to build up their goat herds. The Giants never stay down......and if you're going to mess up, now's the time.
What me worry? Division play isn't even half way over.

I'd be far more concerned about Eli reverting to mid 2007 form, or the defensive injuries or the loss of Spagnola .... Giants won't stay down. They are too talented to not right the ship a bit but I do not see them as anywhere near the elite some want to paint them as.

[Maroondog]

Very glad to see the Giants backing up some. The way they handled the Boyz was concerning. I agree though, they usually bounce back at the right time.

[E-Vol-ution]

Spagnola was a big loss and the injury bug has been around.
Eli's arm isn't the answer.......the Giants know that.
Nobody is elite......so the door is open.

Eagles could be a bigger concern than the Giants...

Didn't Dallas lose at the buzzer after putting up 30 points while their qb experienced a meltdown? Handled is not the word you were looking for.

[SLC93]

Eagles could be a bigger concern than the Giants...

Agreed. They're far more explosive on offense and not nearly as decimated and reaching on defense.

[Maroondog]

Didn't Dallas lose at the buzzer after putting up 30 points while their qb experienced a meltdown? Handled is not the word you were looking for.

Yeah, you are right. However, 30 wasn't enough in the big debut of the new house on national TV. It was DALLAS who had the meltdown. :D

In any event, best not to let the Giants get too far in front.

[E-Vol-ution]

The Giants won.......they didn't back into victory against the Cowboys.

Didn't say they didn't win the game. What I said is that there is no possibility to apply the term handled to how they won and be accurate.

I'm wondering if Coughlin is starting to lose some of his players. In todays NFL how long can a coach like that keep his players. I think Parcells was starting to lose his imact with the 'boys when he left. Just a thought... I could be way off base here but maybe not....

[E-Vol-ution]

Handled simply means to come out successful which was the case, as opposed to "manhandling".

Guess my standards are a tad higher. I've never associated handling somebody or being handles with meaning we did just enough to win.

The biggest issue with Coughlin is going to be can he or should he keep his cool if they continue to slide. This kinder Coughlin has only been around for about 20 months now. His history dictates he should be boiling over any second now. If he's not careful with his approach to this it could be a lose our team type of deal but I don't think he's there right now.

The Giants are going to struggle this season until late, if not for the entire thing. The db's are too banged up. Their front seven has injury and cohesion issues. The biggest obstacle they face, though, is the plantar fasciatus Eli has. He's simply no mechanically sound enough to overcome an injury that effects your mechanics and it's showing.

Not much in there as it applies to sports analogy and nothing mentioning doing just enough to win, unless you want to say the Gints coped with the Cows well. Think of how this term is used on the radio, in commetary, on tv, from the booth or by coaches. It carries more weight. Gints did enough to win, nothing more, and given the nature of the performance by the Boys how impressive is that win, really?

The giants were lucky to get out of Dallas with the win and everyone knows it. The boys played like sh*t and it still took a last secon fg for the Giants to win.

The word is Lucky, not handled

a win is a win, as far as i'm concerned....and remind me again who won that game between the giants and cowboys earlier this year, in jerryworld.

[DragonBand06]

The Giants are overrated. Not saying they aren't decent, but they certainly aren't one of the best teams in the league. Neither are the Cowboys. Neither are the Eagles. Look at the teams that make up the schedules of most of these records. The Giants beat every softie on their schedule, then got pwned by NO, then lost to Arizona, then got routed by Philly. Other than the 'Boys, those 3 teams are the only above-.500 teams they've played. So in their 4 games vs. above-par clubs, they are 3-1 with 2 blowouts and a last-second win after Romo melted down. I say whoever wins the 2-game Philly/Dallas matchup wins the East.

[E-Vol-ution]

Maybe the Cowboys were lucky they didn't lose worse the way they played pass defense. These are professional athletes.......they win or lose.
Stop making excuses........lol
Luck is winning lotto. Dallas bet on winning by stopping the run game.
