Unlike all the experts here with their if this and if that then the Redskins or the Eagles or the Cowboys would’ve won.

I did see some of the Broncos-Saints game last night, as my wife is a Saints (Brees) fan, and I must say, Peyton looked as if he’s gotten his “swag” back. He, along with his team, looked really good last night. The same can be said of the Saints, if not for a few plays, they could probably have pulled another win out.
————————–
I was at that game and about midway through the 4th quarter (before the junk time td) they showed the teams’ offensive stats. New Orleans had 163 total offensive yards. Tell me the last time that happened in the Brees era. He was nowhere close to “if not for a few plays” to a win. That was a dominant effort in all 3 phases of the game for the Broncos. At least watch the whole game before gracing us with your insightful analysis.

And I’d say beating Philly on the road in a game that most picked them to lose is a game that matters, call me crazy. Either the Eagles are a joke and you should stop writing about them, or they aren’t and the Falcons won a game that mattered…can’t have it both ways.

And here comes the obligatory “Falcons can’t make it out of the first round of the playoffs” line. So what? The Cowboys and Eagles can’t even MAKE the playoffs but you guys have no problem writing enough words to fill War and Peace about them each week. Your blatant trolling for hits is about to take away what was once good about this site…the fact that it was somewhat unbiased.

Let there be no mistake, except the last INT that Romo threw, those were TAKEAWAYS, not turnovers committed by Dallas. As a former DB, Fewell finally has the depth to let his safeties run free, and Dave Merritt is all-world in prepping the secondary. It’s showing. When guys who were bums in college like Stevie Brown are looking like All-Pros, you know you’re doing something good.

The thing is, Eli has not had a great game in quite some time. Missing tons of throws vs. SF, WSH, DAL, just imagine how it’s gonna be when he’s back in his full groove?

Giants are the best team in the NFL. Barring injury, with the coaching and stability in place, they will have a very good chance to repeat. And I am glad to have a front row seat just a few miles away to witness it on TV and when I go to the stadium.

In fact, if not for two inches, this article might very well be about how the Giants, despite a 5-3 record, are in trouble.

Seems like these Giants are too dependent on 4th quarter heroics.

Not dumping on them, but let’s not hand them the Lombardi.

Let’s see what happens in November. Get back to me in December- if they have a good record, then we’ll look at their repeat odds well. Emphasis on if.

Really, “GIVEN” 6 turnovers. What did Romo and company just hand the ball to the Giants when they got off the bus.

This is why the Giants can win big games like in San Fran; I’m sure that was lucky too.

Dallas on the other hand is a team that is again on the road to nowhere and as a franchise are the exact opposite of the Giants… The come into games undiciplined , unprepared, and make way too many mistakes… Until Jerry Jones gets over himself and brings in a guy ( and it aint Wade Garret) to run his team and hands over control to a real football guy… They will never win anything in this league… kinda pathetic and i feel for their fans becuase thay have the talent to be great.

I am a Pats fan… I know a little about the Giants.

Like Parcels said, you are what your record says you are and right now the Giants lead the east by 2.5 games.

Also look at the points for/against in the east, the Giants are the only team in the plus. I guess that’s luck after 8 games. Someone needs to tell these Giants players to start playing the lottery.

Look at all the turnovers they got yesterday, that’s part of the game. And yes, if they got 1 or 2 less turnovers they probably lose but you know what, they didn’t. I’m sure all those INT’s and fumble recoveries were just lucky; give me a break. Did you ever think that maybe Dallas came out intimidated and that’s why they were down by 23 early? Is intimidation lucky? Dallas gt it together and made it a game.

I could argue that if the game was closer early on the Giants would have played a completely different game from play calling perspective and who know s what would have happened.

And all the refs caused an 11 point swing in the Redskins game. Let’s not forget that in week 1 Cruz was clearly held on the goal line and dropped a pass. i could argue that the refs missing that call lost the Giants the game but I’m not. It’s part of playing the game.

Just like last years Superbowl, if Welker catches that pass late in the 4th quarter the Pats have a great chance of winning, but he didn’t.

Get over it folks or stop watching sports. Have any of you even played a sport competitively in your life?

You are saying that the Giants are better this year than last year, because their record is 6-2?

They were 6-2 last year as well!

Then they went on to lose 4 straight games – based on how the Defense is playing that could happen again… The Cowboys didn’t lose to the Giants last night, they lost to the Cowboys!

They’ve lost to a below average Dallas team at home, lost to a below average Philly, needed a miracle to barely beat a below average Tampa Bay team at home, needed yet another miracle to squeak out a win against a below average Washington (again at home) and now this???

Maybe God isn’t paying enough attention and is sending Tebow’s miracles to the wrong New York team, but East Coast biases aside, the Giants in no way are a dominant football team. Certainly not in the top 5 of the NFL right now much less the best Giants team ever.

Ridiculous articles like this only make MDS’s other contributions less relevant in retrospect.
