I will agree that Eli has had much better days but it was a hard fought W and it being over the Cowboys makes it that much sweeter
McAdoo was not my pick for HC, wasn't impressed with him as a coordinator, but, unlike UConn's HCBD, Mac does do some really smart things
I just hope this is the last time Big Blue sees the Cowboys this year

The voice of reason, a Pats fan. How ironic, spot on.[QUOTE =]
Mention Brady or the Patriots or Belicheck and Mau has a meltdown. Happens every time . Little jealous there , understandable.

unbelievable win. funny that even two weeks ago, people were wondering if the nyg defense was "real." there shouldn't be any more questions after last night.

i'm not too worried about eli closing out the season, or about mcadoo calling plays. the same way that the cowboys' strong o-line makes prescott and the 'boys look better, i think the putrid nyg o-line makes manning and the rest of the offense look worse. manning isn't turning the ball over that much if flowers could actually pass-block.

No I got nothing Mau. My bad. Good luck down the stretch as long as you don't play the Patriots .

I was all nice to Viking and didn't even think about the Pats in my reply my friend. C'mon your reaction was as close as you can get to emeka telling the reporters Amida is better than him LOL

If the Giants had the Cowboys offensive line they'd be beating teams with much more conviction. You just cannot play an effective QB position in this league when you have as little time to throw as Eli does. If there's one knock on the guy, it's that he's pretty much a pocket passer ... he's either got to get the ball out quick or he's going to be eating a facemask full of dirt.

Aaaaaand that's why you put up with all of OBJ's peccadilloes, tantrums etc.

Eli's had a nice game but that was an awful throw. How many WRs make that play?

P.s. Whatever the outcome today, Spags should be the Giants' DC for life. How good has he gotten them to play? Even without JPP.

We look dangerous. Great win. Defense is outrageously good right now. Nice game for the offense too.

O-line was stronger, thanks to Pugh. Perkins getting more touches is a good thing.

And the D is locked in. Held Cowboys and Lions to 13 points. Wow.
More Perkins was definitely nice, but I'm getting tired of Perkins putting together nice runs and then end of the game, Jennings is back in for three straight no gain rushes every week

Well everyone (read: Detroit) knew Jennings was going run it to kill clock. He's probably in there because he's trusted to not fumble.

Yeah I figure that's the reason, more ball security. Probably just nitpicking and if it means a win whatever, I just think Perkins could also not fumble with the bigger possibility of him breaking off a big run

One touchdown in 8 quarters. Interesting, the announcers said the Giants D is number one against Red Zone. I know they are good and improving each game but I didn't know that stat.

6 weeks ago I would never believe in a 10 win season
Eli is having a down year but the D is awesome

great win! proud of 'em today.

don't see jenkins coming back for the quick-turnaround game @eagles, but if that means he's healthy for the washington game week 17 i am cool with it. pretty happy we are not playing ON christmas, as well!

Pretty amazing.

Non sequitur: "Tom Coughlin calls it the 'Green Zone'" is the Giants equivalent of "Denham Brown once scored 111 points in a high school game."

I didn't like seeing it go from "back - questionable" to "spine - out."

Mau I am actually a Giants fans. I never hated the Pats though until Kraft pulled his BS with Hartford


I do remember this now my bad, but it wasn't at all a negative portrayal anyway on you if indeed you were, just on some of our GMen fans who somehow respect Eli as much as I do Papi.

Great win today defense is en fuego. Like the fact they ran it a little better today and used perkins more, but I really hope they don't fall in love with it and put that pressure on the D like this. I can see what's happening and the pattern isn't all that pretty. Throw on 1st down once in a while will ya?

yeah, pretty bleak. i guess he's getting an mri. i heard postgame inteviews with some of the defense on WFAN and a lot of the guys said he seemed fine and were hopeful that he would play the next game.

10-4 after missing the playoffs the last 4 years feels great, and doing it with a 1st year HC. What can I say about the D the secondary has been amazing, Dwayne Harris is a special teams beast he reminds me of a more athletic David Tyree. Got a quick turnaround against Philly can't have a let down they will play the Gmen like its their Super Bowl.
