Official Cowboys-NYG MNF thread...

Easy enough...

Cowboys HAVE to win, Giants would be up 2 games in the division if they win. The Giants have 4 of 5 vs. Dallas since their SB run win at Dallas three years ago. Dallas is working to avoid their worst start since before Jimmy Johnson took over. No major injuries on either side (Sorry CM, Moss isn't a major injury). Dallas is a 3 point favorite, the standard for home teams, so really it's a pick 'em. The O/U is 44 BTW. Should be fun...

Let the smack and/or analysis begin...

This is gonna be a war. Dallas has to be feeling the pressure and the Giants want some respect. It's going to be a close one and I think it all comes down to how well Eli connects with his receivers tonight. Hakeem Nicks, Steve Smith, Mario Manningham can all be effective weapons when they catch and Eli throws good passes and I think Dallas' secondary is terrrible. If Eli throws his passes on the mark and avoids INTs, the Giants will win. If Eli gets sloppy, Cowboys come away victorious.

I'm looking for Nicks to have a big game tonight.

I'm looking for Nicks to have a big game tonight.

And I need him to not show up at all and for the Giants D to come up huge!!

I hope you're right; I'm concerned about his injury.
I bet $50 on this game. I'm not saying I'm confident the Giants will win (because it is a must win for the cowboys), though.

Go Giants! I'd love for them to take over sole possession of First Place.

So which will have more total yards - the Giants offense or the Cowboys penalties?

 

[Card Magnet]

I would say that hopefully Romo can blow the roof off that place with some stellar play, but it looks like the roof will be open....so the sky is the limit. Go Cowboys!

Nearly two and a half hours out from kickoff, the retractable roof at Cowboys Stadium began to open up, suggesting Monday night's game will be played under the stars.The stadium's end zone doors remained closed, though they could be opened later. League rules mandate no playing conditions such as retractable roofs or doors can be changed inside of 90 minutes prior to kickoff.This is the first time the roof has been open in 2010.Weather.com predicts 83 degrees in Arlington at kickoff, cooling into the upper-to-mid 70s by game's end.

Hope to see some disciplined football from the Cowboys tonight. This is a veteran team and I hope they start to play like it.

 

[Card Magnet]

Here we go!

lets hope the boys dont take their foot off of the gas pedal.

At this point in the season they have to know that can't happen if they want to win.

 

[Card Magnet]

Not good to hear that Newman is out and getting his ribs x-rayed.
