Eli was on Francesa this afternoon and said they decided to try not to score on 1st and 2nd down if the Cowboys let them score. That makes absolutely no sense. There's no way a team would let their opponent score and go down by 10 pts. They even said it on the telecast. The Cowboys were playing to force a field goal so they'd have a chance to win with a touchdown and point after. There's no way the Cowboys would think they could allow the Giants to score and hope to score twice in a minute.
What the hell were Eli and the coaches thinking? Why would they think the Cowboys would let them score?
I said at the time, run it again on 3rd down, and again on 4th. If you don't make it, the Cowboys are pinned on the one or two yard line with about 40 seconds left and no timeouts. Game over
