Oh no, I DO pay attention. And while Ocho has a huge ego WAY out of proportion with his on field performance and Plax is just a punk, it is TO hands down. I don't recall seeing either of those guys accusing Jeff Garcia of being gay, feuding with Donovan McNabb, sobbing on national tv "That's my quarterback, sniff, sniff (bottom lip trembling)" or a suicide scare.

5,000? Which game? If you're going to trash Eli, at least give me a specific example. Well we'll just have to see how the game plays out today. I just dont see a lot of interceptions coming. Should be a good day for the G-men.

[fiveliter]

Well like I said a good day for the G-Men, now 7-1 and in first place. Lets take a look at the final tally shall we:

Johnson: 71 yds, 0 Td, 2 Int
Bollinger: 63 yds, 1 TD, 1 Int
Dallas rushing: 81 yds, 0 TD

Eli: 147 yds, 3 Td, 1 Int (yeah that was a bad interception)
Giants: rushing 200 yds, 2 TD

Final score : Giants 35 Cowgirls 14

you must be a giants fan....love how you left out eli raring back to throw and throwing the ball backwards for a fumble.

so an old geezer and a bleh backup have 3 turnovers combined vs a superbowl qb have two blunders

haha

please

lol its ok when we get all of are starts back next time around. Itll be a new team 2 weeks from now. Its hard to even back up the cowboys right now but,they will deff come back stronger then they have played the last 3 games

yup and i cant wait

first thing on the to do list...destroy the redskins at home tehehhe

i was cracking up today when they interviewed the giants after the game "how does it feel to beat a beaten up cowboys team?"...strahan goes "beaten up? where did they get that idea? they are only missing romo" rofl

apparently strahan doesnt know who terrence newman is...who roy williams (def) is...who felix jones is...who jason witten is (broken ribs, i know he played, but not 100%)

i expect the cowboys to win out the season after the bye next week...no reason it should be a problem. defense is definitely stepping it up these last two games...shoot, we actually caught interceptions...pass rush is getting better

cowboys are fixina be smokin

and anyone who thinks brad johnson is some great quarterback currently...would you like to start him on your team? didnt think so; hes finished.

The colts won over the pats, and Gaints ran over the last place cryboys.

Good one!

[PrISM]

When the Cowboys are sitting at home watching the playoffs like the rest of us, I wonder what kind of excuses the fans will be coming up with.

They're done. They'll be lucky if they make the wild card. I love how the two teams (Patriots and Cowboys) that everyone was saying are the best teams at the beginning of the season are just plain horribad.

Please what? That was a solid win over Dallas. Spare me the tears about injuries. Everyone's got injuries. My main point was to retort your previous statement about Eli throwing "like 5000 interceptions". Three Dallas interceptions vs. one Eli interception. And yes, the fumble was a bad play, but I didnt see Dallas capitalize from it. Like it or not, Eli is establishing himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the league. He's still got a way to go, but he's on his way.

So according to the rating system, Chad Pennington is a better quarterback than Eli Manning. Yeah that makes sense. Sorry but stats don't tell the whole story, like clutch drives, clock management and team leadership.

ya...is eli injured? didnt think so. the patriots and cowboys are proof you cant just easily loose a pro bowl superstar qb and keep winning.

you cannot sit there and say if eli was injured the giants would be 7-1....no way on earth.

That list means nothing. Hell, out of the top five on that list, Arizona is the only team on top of their division. Whether or not people want to admit it, the fact is the Giants are the top team in the NFC and Eli Manning is the leader.
