Giants Win, the Giants WIn!

I can see Brandon Jacobs celebrating a TD with a "Lambeau Leap" I can see Eli and Tom carried of the field together. In a year and an era marked with disappointment and mind blowing frustration this group is on the cusp of going to the Superbowl. As a result of one of the great Giant playoff wins this group of reformed underachievers has a legitimate shot at the Superbowl. The maligned defense came up huge in the 4th quarter (really the whole game)and allowed the entire organization to be vindicated... Eli did what he needed to do: Amani, Boss (i have a feeling Shockey will be in NJ for offseason workouts),jacobs, Smith, Bradshaw the O Line you could go on this was a team win. On to Lambeau and a date with an Immortal as the two greatest franchises in NFL history meet to decide who will represent the NFC in the Superbowl, this is what makes the NFL the greatest pro sports league in the world... Prediction- Giants get a second chance at the Patriots!

Our Turn 90 YDS

Our turn to burn clock and deliver the knockout punch!

Big One!

21-17 if the D can stop them we are in good shape! THIS IS A DIFFERENT TEAM, nothing seems to phase them... Dallas has let us hang around those long time consuming drives may come back to haunt them, they shortened the game and allowed us to hang.. They don't have an answer for Toomer, Plax and Smith!!

Gutty Gritty Giants!

Eli proving the doubters wrong agian.. Defining drive overcame -2 yards and being dominated in the quarter to be tied at the half. Cowboys shaking their heads dominate a quarter 2 90 plus drives dominate the clock and we are knotted at 14.. make some adjustments against the run game a little pressure up the middle on Romo and off to Lambeau!!

Dallas get the ball to start the half 3 and out... My wife can even tell Eli looks like a different player, I hope the clock doesn't strike midnight..

Are his hands Webbed?

Corey you just killed the season, that will be looked upon as the play that defined this game... Can the D step up one time and make a play??

Defense..

Critical defensive series pinned at the nine, they have to stop Barber

End of One!

As the review is underway the Giants played well. The Dallas running game has come alive which needs to be addressed Butler comes up out of control on the long Barber run, Giants need to play smart.. TO looks to be healthy... We weren't gonna shut them out so even 7-7 is ok.. Still in good shape! (review goes to D)

Perfect Start!

Nice drive you could not have scripted the first drive any better.. The run game looks sharp and with the exception of the almost int by Eli he looks ready to play.. Giants D get a 3 and out!!

Maybe Our Manning's Turn to Come up Big

With Peyton going down to the Chargers maybe today belongs to Eli.. Peyton's loss maybe be another harbinger of things to come for the Gints today.. Anything less than a victory will not be acceptable.. Stars are lining up for Big Blue, 6 minutes to game time!

Confidence: Unfamiliar Feeling

As a Giant fan during the Eli era confidence is not something I am accustomed to experiencing.. But for the first time in recent memory there is an eery calm as we head into Big D... Maybe it is the realization that Romo is coming back to earth, TO will be less than 100%, and that Wade Phillips is the coach.. While it may be trendy to bash Bill Parcells in Dallas there is a reason Bill has had success and Wade has been a journeyman coach/coordinator. Eli needs to pass for over 250 yards and the Giants need to rush for 150 if they do that they will win probably in the 31-20 range..

For Eli's sake he better not implode, if he thinks the critiques have been harsh wait until the Giants lose and he is the direct cause..

Romo, Reality?

Nobody can argue Tony Romo has enjoyed a magic carpet ride professionally and personally this past year.. But if we step back and take a look objectively his body of work consists of a small sample.. I contend while he is a good player he has played over his head and will settle to a level below this past season. As a Giant fan I hope the settling starts this Sunday! Jerry Jones will look back in 5 years and realize he jumped the gun with the enormous contract.. I want to reiterate I believe he is a good player and will be for years to come but there is a reason he was undrafted and while there are diamonds in the rough that go undrafted(fewer as a result of advanced scouting and all games on TV) chances are his weaknesses will show at some point and we have seen some of this down the stretch even before the thumb injury..

Joe/Evan Divide

On yesterdays show you heard why Joe must be solo and why nobody (including Joe in my humble estimation) likes Evan. Evan's willingness to Rat out any and everyone exemplifies the divide... Evan the tattle tail, everyone on the fan should watch themselves around Evan. Nothing is off the record.. And while Joe is a good sport and puts a good face on a bad on air marriage, you could hear in his voice how disgusted he was by Evan's attitude toward ratting people out.

End Evan Now! Be nig no So lo! Oh the pain!!! PS. Joe great suit last night on SNY (Carl is rubbing off, just work on sitting up straight)

Eli the Great?

Not quite, but Eli finally looked like a number one draft choice. Now the Giants have a tendency to get a little full of themselves after big wins now we will see if they can focus and be a contender. There is no reaso nthe Giants can't go and win in Dallas the Cowboys have not played well down the stretch and they are primed to be picked off.. And does anyone really believe that Wade Phillips can get this team through the playoffs? The bloom has been coming off the Cowboy rose for the last several weeks and this is the Giants time. Having said all that if the Giants come out flat as they did today they will find themselves down 21-0 not 7 zip. Steve Tisch looked ready to sign Coughlin to an extension on the field in the final moments, the Coughlin haters have been silenced. 5 years for Coughlin, "In Tom we Trust!"

Nice Job Eli for a day you have gotten the Giant fans believing blow up in Big D and that all crumbles, enjoy tonight.

2 Minutes to Big D

The D needs to come up big and get us to Dallas. For once the offense has done more than its part.. Big play to Pittman we need to tighten up and make it tougher.. Osi has been quiet time to make a play...

3/4 Home!

Eli hit Toomer to end the quarter enormous conversion.. Not quite at the "In Eli we Trust" stage but he is playing well.. So far he is doing more than managing the game he is a presence.. Eat some clock and get one one more TD and we win!

Penalties

No penalties in the first half than 2 huge ones to begin the 3d.. Offside at the goal line and now stupid play by Cofield, unbeleivable.. They need to stay focused and finish.

Half way home!!

One more half of solid football and Eli will have proven something to all of his detractors (I am number one in the line).. Giants need to stay agreessive and put at least 14 more points on the board.. As the 1/2 ended the running game seems to be improving.. Pressure is bothering Garcia, but as Giant fans we should feel confident but their is always a air of uncertainty... No turnovers and no penalties excellent job...
They can't block us up front.. Strahan is asserting himself...

Eli Express!

Eli in a zone, in a good way (normally he looks comatose or sedated).. The running game looks to be clicking (Bradshaw shot in the arm).. You never feel entirely comfortable but we are beating a team we are more talented than and should beat!
