The Giants played poorly tonight and deserved to lose. Just unacceptable to allow Dallas to convert 3rd and nine with 3 minutes remaining. Play before that Dallas was 2nd and 23. Just piss poor defense. Eli and the offensive line didnt look like they came to play either. Dallas came ready to play and the Giants didnt. That being said, the Giants can still wrap up a #1 seed with a win next week. GO GIANTS!!!! 2008 NFC East Champs!!!

Fixed for ya...there is no comparison.

FWIW, why would the Giants risk further injuries? They have secured a playoff spot and they played exactly like I expected...coasting into the playoffs.

Everyone knows the quickest route to an injury is to be on the field not playing with full intensity. If they were merely playing out the string content to coast into the playoffs then they would have put in the second stringers. That object in the Giant's hands is their a$$, handed to them by the Cowboys. The Giants aren't coasting, they are FADING.

You missed my point...they had several injured players who probably could have played that didn't because this week's game was not as important. Next week's game is and the injured players will benefit from the rest by being at practice. If they needed the win, do you really think that Jacobs would have been on the bench?

No, you are correct about holding out injured players. I just don't think they gave a good effort in last night's game and they got dominated. They were even getting blown up on the radio by their own broadcast team, Bob Papa and Carl Banks about a "lack of professionalism".

Mainly I was just disappointed that they didn't end the Cowboy's season.

so....you are telling me they slacked off last night so they could make next weeks game a "must win"???? i think you are smoking some of m1m's killer dro....any logical team would try to lock things up and keep games from being "must wins"

[65fastback2+2]

need i mention the fact that the giants are 2 losses for their current streak lol....ya....coasting lol....you mean...dying

Believe it or not, it's not always about winning every game...it's about winning smart. What would you rather do, try to win a game with key players at 80% and risk more serious injuries or take a loss while letting those injured players rest and get back to 100% for the following week? Keep in mind that aggravated injuries take even longer to recover from, not to mention the effects of missed practices.

And next week's game is not a must win...the Giants have already locked up the NFC East so they are only playing for home field advantage. They didn't need it last year.

As a Skins fan, so was I...but I was even more disappointed by our performance against the Bengals.

we can go tit for tat... there where an equal amount of non calls in the game. (how about the ridiculous hold on harrison that set up B-more's last field goal) For the TD is was a catch the ball touched the front of the plane, he had posesion in the endzone and it is a TD.

Coming for the Titians and home field baby.

Might as well start working on next season...they won't be playing in Jan.

When have I ever said the Steelers were going anywhere? I play it week by week and just hope they win. It's tools like you who shoot your mouth off about your high and mighty team and then when they lose it's excuse after excuse. Gee, your offense is'nt doing that well by your own words. Then how do they have a chance? What am I suppose to do about bad officiating? I'm just watching the game. What comes around, goes around. The Steelers aren't any golden child.The Steelers have the toughest schedule in the league this year. Why would I expect them to go to the Superbowl? I began the year thinking they would be a .500 team at best with their schedule. Anything more is just gravy to me.

I give Steelers fans a hard time about the 06 SB, but I can't take anything away from them this year. They look good and have been successful playing such a tough schedule.

What a lot of people don't realize is that defense is what wins the game. It doesn't matter if your offense can put up points if your defense can't stop the other team. The Steeler defense has looked good all year...the SB is a definite possibility for them. As far as the Cowboys, we all know that they won't make it to the 2nd round of the playoffs.

That's why I was stressing in my earlier threads that the Bears need to retool a bit on defense. I honestly believe that the Bears could win the offense they have in place if their defense played like it has in years past.
