New York Giants Defeat Dallas Cowboys, 31-14: Playoffs Next For NFC East Champs

PrintThe New York Giants, who had the toughest schedule in all of the NFL, are now the 2011 NFC East Champions and headed to the playoffs for the first time in three years. Sunday night wasn't the typical Giants-Cowboys matchup. New York scored first, scored early and maintained their lead throughout. The G-Men dominated the game, for the most part. But Dallas, as expected, didn't make it easy.
The Giants started out by winning the coin toss and opting to kick the ball to the Cowboys. The first two drives, for both teams, were uneventful - aside from some stand up defensive play.
Jason Pierre-Paul, who ran like a well-oiled machine all night long, recorded his first sack of the game on the second offensive Cowboys drive. The sack also resulted in a loss of twelve yards and a punt. The New York defense kept the Cowboys offense limited to three scoreless drives, two of which went three and out.
On the second offensive drive for the Giants, Eli Manning hooked up with Victor Cruz, in what is becoming an all too familiar, huge play down field. On a third-and-one at the Giants' 26-yard line, Manning found Cruz for a 74-yard touchdown. A lively salsa dance ensued.
The Boys got the ball back but were unable to do much of anything with it. Osi Umenyiora, back from an injury that has kept him out of action recently, gave Tony Romo a taste of MetLife Stadium's turf, adding his first sack of the night to his stat sheet.
The Giants offense, sparked by the defensive efforts, began a twelve yard drive that ended with an Ahmad Bradshaw rushing touchdown, making the score 14-0. Two drives later, Bradshaw became a hero once again by taking a ten yard pass into the end zone. The Giants, cohesive as I have seen them this season, shut the Cowboys down completely, leaving the scoreboard lopsided, 21-0.
In typical Big Blue fashion, things began to fall apart at the seams. Dallas kept the Giants scoreless and confused for most of the third quarter. In the first Cowboys drive, Romo lead his team down field in a nine-yard play for their first touchdown of the night. Despite giving seven points, the Giants defense were amped up. Osi Umenyiora recorded his second sack on Romo and Antrel Rolle came up with a huge interception.
On the first Cowboys drive of the fourth quarter, Romo was able to find his way into the end zone once more. It only took three plays and 1:25 seconds. It would be the last points that they would put up on the board for the night and season.
The G-Men scored another 10 points to cap off the game and extend their season. Perry Fewell certainly did his homework. The defensive unit worked together better than in any game I have seen them play this season. The secondary played with a renewed spirit. The linebackers kept their zones manned. The defensive backs wreaked havoc.
Eli Manning did what he has been doing all season long, making big things happen. Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw ran the ball well enough, as a tandem, to keep the chains moving. Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks, were stoning, not surprisingly. The use of DJ Ware, Henry Hynoski and Bear Pascoe helped open up the field and confuse the Cowboys.
Hats off to Kevin Gilbride and Perry Fewel for calling a very good game. Tom Coughlin was able to motivate his staff and players enough to believe that they have what it takes to make it to the playoffs. The Giants have played some of the best teams in the league this seasons and age them hell. They're about to face a few more of them, the Atlanta Falcons being the next on the list. They'll have the luxury to host the Falcons next week and if they can build on the momentum that they have going for them now, they just might live to see another day.

Eliminating the Jets, Eagles, and Cowboys in between Christmas and New Years.
Kudos to the much maligned Perry Fewell, for finally wising up the scheme by emphasizing pass rush and simplifying coverage. Healthy Tuck, Osi, and Boley does not hurt either.
Bottom line: If the Giants rush the passer the way they did the last two weeks and in the Super Bowl against the Patriots, they can beat anyone. Although it must be said, that they match up far better against the Packers and 49ers, than they do against the Saints in the Dome. Ever since the LT/Jeff Rutledge game in 1988, that Dome has been like the Bermuda Triangle for the Giants.

D-Line
For all the talk about the weaknesses in the Giants’ defense this year, the last two games show that when the D-Line functions as it was designed to, the remaining positions are adequate. Yes they could still use an upgrade at linebacker and some help in the secondary, but the fundamental philosophy makes for a solid defense.

LOL
You know you make a great point. . . .I’ve criticized the FO for not building a better run stuffing D or improving the Running game and not to rely so much on big plays, I mean don’t get me wrong they could use help in those areas but like you said, let the D-line dominate and let Eli make plays. It works for the most part and keeps them competative.
Great game from the entire team
From this point out Victor Cruz is in my eyes known as “The Official.” Osi, the hate keeps coming yet you continue to go out and play your game. I am sure that more hate will come in the future but keep doing what you do bro. Eli, I have been hard on you this year bro but you get what you needed to do tonight…nuff respect for now. JPP, the Kracken was released tonight. It didn’t disappoint. Tuck, Kiwi, Great game!!!

Let me just say this. Eli needs to start looking for Beckum. The guy is consistently open down the seam, to the contrary of the opinions of many Giants fans. There are plays to be made with him. Start making them already.
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross

He did miss him on the third down late in the game.

Kiwanuka for being the defensive playmaker that does everything.
Wet Willies:
Will Blackmon for being an idiot. Please never do punt returns ever again.
Mario Manningham for throwing down an 0’fer.
Lawrence Tynes for missing the 40 yarder. We’ll need you to be clutch soon enough. Trust me on this one.

sure, but Hynoski had 3 catches and Bear Pascoe had 1. And both of those were more than Manningham.
That deserves a WW. If he wasn’t healthy, shouldn’t have been on the field. I still want him back for next year though. If he’s on, he’s a beast.

"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
feels so good
this team is dangerous. i can’t wait until Sunday
I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee fan.
Beckum
Beckum is open alot and has been open for the past two years when on the field. However, Eli seems never to look his way (as was previously stated). Interestingly, Eli did not look Cruz’s way until he made a big catch in game #4 this year. He was an after thought when he dropped a crucial 3rd down pass in game #1 vs. the Skins.
Its hard to fault Eli because he has had a career year this year. But he needs to look for Beckum once in awhile.
Beckham
I watched Beckhams to see how he blocked, and I thought he did pretty well—that used to be a pronounced weakness of his.
Eli is Elite!
“Another Pro Bowl level game from Manning who draws the Falcons next week in the playoffs. Manning finishes the year with 4933 yards, more than that of any quarterback in NFL history prior to this season except Drew Brees and Dan Marino.”

Kiwi...
Kiwi played very well but when they go to the 4-2-5 he is on the sidelines.
they need to figure out away to get him on the filed more, he played very well especailly early in the game..
umenyiora and Kiwi were not around for 1007 Superbowl becasue of injuries, is that correct?
giants hardest
giants had the hardest schedule in football. lost there starting MLB and corner before the season started… there 1st round pick Prince got hurt 2nd practice and they had OSI 1/2 the season but now a lot more positives. Osi played well, Prince at least is on the field on occassion, and they figuredd some things out.
BTW Chase Blackburn has been a godsend again………..
ESPN NEW YORK writer Dan Graziano..
is already hyping up the Falcons. This guy is such a toolbag. His mancrush on the overrated Dream Team Eagles makes this win so much sweeter. He acts like the Falcons are some sort of offensive juggernaut like the Packers or Saints. Apparently he forgets that Eli Manning is exponentially better than Matt Ryan and we have the better pass rush.

When these guys care and (forgive the cliche) play with a chip on their shoulder, they are unstoppable.
Here’s hoping every newspaper writes about how they don’t belong in the playoffs.
Fire Gilbride
This is the kind of Giants defense I grew up on..bend a little, kill alot..
There isn’t a damn player that deserves anything but kudos..There were some mistakes in the second half but they shut the door on them..right quick..They did exactly what I hoped for on defense..and I mentioned it in several threads leading up to this match..They got JPP Osi and Tuck in the game..They moved JPP around all over the place..I am drunk and happy..

Romo had a great game..He's tough as nails..but our guys slammed the door on him..Our defense

Well, obviously I've had serious complaints about Fewell along with the rest of us..
But..and I stress BUT..If he has finally realized that he needs to just let these guys play hard-nosed football without all the complex cutsie-pie shit..then I may elect to give him some slack..but my Jury which basically made up of my beer and my balls is still out..on that guy..I also felt that our STs played well tonight..Yeah Tynes missed a 40 yard field goal, but like I always say shit happens then you die…They did a good job..

Actually
I would never WANT to fire Coughlin, ideally I would like to see him retire a winner. I think he is a class guy and a good coach. I would however like to see some big coaching changes. I feel like we are as talented as anybody and, despite the last two games, there is just no explanation for this teams inconsistency.

I again reference the "Critical Offseason Decisions' Thread..
I saw a bunch of kids just play their butts off..these young LBs we have are quickly becoming battle hardened..Our O-line?..Everybody wants to lose Diehl..Well the Deihl I watched was mowing people down tonight..So I ask not who to get rid of, I ask how do we keep them all?..Somebody critiqued MM about doing nothing..Well the guy in my opinion was a damn good decoy tonight..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Interesting Fewell did what I thought he might do though. Earlier in the week, I suggested
moving Tuck to tackle beside Canty because of his inside pass rushing abilities. He sacked Romo twice from that spot. It puts Osi, Tuck, JPP, and Canty, all pass rushers capable of getting there on the field at the same time. So, I give Fewell credit for doing something that couch-sitting fan thought of. So…….
He did exactly that..I said the same thing..He got his key rushing talent on the field together..
The only difference between what you suggested and me is I wanted JPP on the move ‘lurking’ like Ware does..and they did just that..Romo never knew where JPP was going to come from..and that really screws a QBs brain up..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
If we can find a consistent running game, we can beat anybody. Well, maybe not the Saints. Brees throws the ball
in two seconds. I don’t care WHAT kind of pass rush you have. 2 seconds? Are you f’n kidding me? And he can move around, and his line buys him time. F’n scary. But, any given day, I guess. The way to beat him is to push the middle right into his face and bring pressure off the edge. Nowhere to go. But damn, easier said then done.
The only way to beat Brees is exactly what you just said..plus
Make sure you cover his receivers like blankets..otherwise your screwed..He has an extremely fast release..The only way to slow him down is to not give him any targets..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."

Coughlin did a good job this season (so far). I’m glad that his job security will not be a hot topic this offseason.
Congratulations to the Giants. It’s a whole new season.
Good job, Ed Valentine for yet another awesome regular season of reading material. Here’s to no ‘NFL draft’ articles until February.
Congrats to the fans who showed up tonight and rocked the stadium. That was a tough place for the Cowboys to play.
Congrats to the fans who hung in there all season, stuck by the team and kept the faith.

Except NO. brees nullifies our pass rush with release and JR.has dropped the ball with personnel on offense. We can score with eberyone else. Eli is just awesome!

A strong rush and superior coverage will beat Brees..Nothing less than perfection..
Rush him and leave him no targets..That’s a big row to hoe, but that’s how you beat him, aside from keeping him off the field..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
The Saints set an NFL record for most offensive yardage in a season
7474 total yards of offense.
The only way to beat them is turnovers and moving the ball on their defense.
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only BLUE WALLS.
