Still quite nervous on this game
I think Cowboys will take it. As I said over on BTB, if the Sowboys establish the run early, they open up the passing game for themselves, which will be deadly for the Giants.

Other way around
I think they try to est. passing game using Whitten and then run. lets face it the weakness in our defense is the LBs. if i were an OC thats where i would be targeting first. which makes getting pressure on romo so important.

It funny to hear the Cowboys
improved their run defense in the second half of the Tampa game. From what I’ve read, they were still giving up over 5 per carry. It may have only “looked” better because Tampa had to pass more to try and get back into the game. Dallas also stopped blitzing. If they’re unable to blitz and cannot get pressure on Eli, that Dallas secondary will have its hands full all night.
Regarding the lack of blog heat between BtB and BBV, that may be due to the lack of Terry posts here.

They shut down Cadillac
I think he had 77 in the first half but only 20 in the second. I could be wrong with the numbers, but that’s the main so-called “improvement” being mentioned.
P.S. – this is my favorite NFC East rivalry! Good luck to you guys! Go ’Boys!
2009 Dallas Cowboys: 10-6
2009 New York Jets: 11-5

Cadillac
Williams had a grand total of 5 carries in the second half for 20 yards total, which is still 4 ypc. He only touched the ball twice in the entire fourth quarter. Tony Romo and their 20 point lead had as much to do with shutting down the Tampa running game as the Dallas defense.

Cadillac..what a name!
He’s pretty much worn out..Let’s see what the Cowpokes can do with 270 lbs running down the gut on them…They are about to face a Humvee.

There's no question the Giants have a great running game...every Cowboy fan realizes this...
and there is concern about Dallas stopping the run after the week 1 performance, but based on recent history, isn’t it reasonable to think it was just a single bad game? The Cowboys play the Giants 2-3 times a year, how often have the Giants run roughshod over the Cowboys?
Conversely, The Giants had only 1 offensive touchdown against the Redskins and short yardage pickup looks to still be a problem. The Giants just aren’t scoring as much on offense and that goes back to last year. Isn’t that a pretty big concern, too?

Your right..
Our guys haven’t run rough-shod over your guys for years..and short yardage is a big problem..It is going to be a great game as usual..If my wife was here she would have forced me to say this!!..lol..You have no idea what it is like being married to a Cowboy fan!..lol..The only good thing is that if the Cowboy’s win I’m screwed..If the Giants win I am screwed..We will be there Sunday night..either way, I am screwed..not a bad thing at all!!..lol

That's looking at things glass half empty...you're wife being happy will probably mean you're getting screwed, literally.
I’m thinking it’s a no lose for you….
Besides, it’s only one game…does it mean the season is over for whoever loses? The Giants have proven that it’s not how you start,it’s how you finish. I would trade a loss in this game if it meant we were gonna finish strong this year…

It'll be a good game..Best of luck to you guys also..this is fun.
Teasing each other..I mentioned earlier that my wife (from Jersey) is a Cowboy fan..We have a blast with this rivalry..I cook her a “special” batch of hot wings..(She’s starting to catch on to my prank)..so I mix in a few normal ones with the super hot ones for her…I need another recipe to fake her little 115 lb body to turn red!!..Any ideas?

Good stuff, Ed
Although I detest the Cowboys with the searing white heat of ten thousand suns, I have to give major props to Dave and his work over at BTB.
He runs a classy blog there (no mean feat that, keeping all those demented Cowboy fans in line) For a few years now, it’s been my go-to source for keeping tabs on our hated rival (keeping up with the Joneses, as it were)
Always an interesting read whenever you sit down with Dave (or any or the other NFC East bloggers for that matter) to see how they’re reading the team leaves heading into each of these brutally intense matchups. As a diehard Giant fan, sometimes my perspective gets skewed from following the situation so minutely on our end. Every bit of Giant news gets so magnified in importance that it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture. Seeing how things look from the other side of the fence helps to bring things back into better focus.
Keep up the good work, guys.

I agree with you..
Ed does a great job..This website is alot of fun, having moved to South Florida..It keeps me in tune with the regular “Giant Joes” out there..Everything Ed posts is very fair and knowledgeable..The only situation I have experienced on this site that I felt was negative was with “NewjerseySportsJerk”..Once I learned that he was as old as my eldest Son, I laughed it off..and he is a good kid…I also like Jim’s and Andio’s comments..This website makes me feel I am still in the Stands with you all!!..Terry bought two tickets for the Dallas game..We’ll be watching Jerry’s new TV set..Hopefully highlightsof the Giants scoring. She just informed me today..Now I have to figure out how to get her something really hot to eat to keep her quiet!!

Ed, today you outdid yourself
You snuck in not one, not two, but three hotties in your stories in just one day. This alone is worth frequently dropping by here for.

Cowboys fan here , I come in peace!
I think if Dallas controls the Gmens running game, they have a great chance to win, also they have to slow the NY pass rush, which is easier said than done!
I think Dallas will win, but that NY D always makes me nervous!
Should be a good one!

cowboys
Romo is another danny white, The very same problem danny had was he couldn’t take care of the ball. Until he learn to take care of the football he’ll never win the superbowl. when Dallas went up 31/30 he got the ball, That is the time to handle your business but what happen he force one down the field getting it pick off. A good team will beat you everytime tony. TONY PLEASE CHERISH THE FOOTBALL KEPT IT IF YOU HAVE TOO. But please cherish it if you want to be a winner not just a qb.
