After thinking they could not top the excitement of the Packers game last week, I was obviously mistaken. Hats off to Coach Coughlin for putting accountability above the individual player and held the leading runningback Bradshaw out of the first half for violating a team rule earlier regardless of the game importance. He surely practices what he preaches.

Eli demonstrated again that he is the Man when it comes down to the wire. 400 yds and 2 TD passes again. Down 12 with 5 minutes left, he took the team on his shoulders again and led them cooly down the field.

Brandon Jacobs lowered the shoulder and leaped to 100 yd day on the ground.

DE Pierre-Paul was the player I read about when drafted. Sacks, safety, tackles, and blocking the field goal attempt.

With three games to go and control of their destiny, every game feels like a playoff game. Happy to say I am looking forward to next week.

Re: Week 14 of the NFL

B. Jacobs our star running back from our little old division II school. :) (Southern IL. University)

Did you see the pic of Jerry Jones at the end of the game thats floating around on the internet? :p

And now should we talk about my Chicago Bears??!! :(:redface:

Barber had only lost 2 fumbles on 1118 career carries.
Tebrow was 3 for 16 for 45 yds. the first 3 quarters. The fourth quarter and O.T., 18 for 24 for 191 yds. :facepalm:

Bye bye playoffs.

Say what you will about Tebow...but I was a Gator fan and happy to see he is somewhat proving the "experts" wrong. I think Tebow will have a hard time against the Giants next week but sorry there angus63..I hope he throws for 300 and rushes for a couple TD's....LOL....not likely though

DS58--
Brandon Jacobs did show some real determination on Sunday.
Gonna hunt for that pic!!
B27--
Tebow sure is having a great freshman run. Next week he faces Tom Brady and Eli Manning takes on the Redskins.

Re: Week 14 of the NFL

Cowboys need a kicker. If they had one they would be 9-5 and some folks wouldn't be crowing as though they personally won that game.

Giants got their plow cleaned, just like the Rams, and won by default when Baily froze.

Ditto on "Wow!"

I partially agree with the first sentence ...

As far as the potential record, anyone and everyone can claim a better record with a woulda, shoulda, coulda argument.

If by crowing you mean relishing as a fan a season saving win after an amazing contest, I'm guilty today. I did not suit up this week though.

If getting your plow cleaned means 34 minutes of possession, 3 sacks, allowing zero sacks, 400 yds passing, 110 yds rushing, four touchdowns, two field goals, a two pt conversion and a safety totalling 37 pts (resulting in taking over first place in the division from your rival), I hope for future cleanings.

I did not view the kicker freezing last night. He seemed to hit the ball well and true on his last attempt. I did witness Jason Pierre-Paul shift his rush from the guard to the center and penetrate the line deep enough to get a hand on the ball.

It doesn't taste like a default win to me.

Baily did fine. Dallas blocking failed. Even if he made that field goal, the game would have been tied. The way Manning was playing, still wouldn't have mattered.

Dallas defense is what failed. Romo not hitting Austin when he was wide open failed.

Giants out gained Dallas so not sure who's plow got cleaned.

I have never seen a QB so calm under pressure as Manning was last night. If the roles were reversed not sure Romo could have done what Manning did.

I dislike both teams but, have to say, was a very entertaining game.

My favorite parts of the game were all the TV shots of Jerry Jones and his cronies whooping it up all game and then seeing them at the very end...priceless!

At least the Dallas coach didn't ice his own kicker this time!
