Props to you. You called the outcome, although not the score, correctly. I do think the Skins are the biggest threat given our play recently and our relative health. Don't think the G-Men are as healthy after Sunday's game. Congrats on being a T.V. star, albeit on a Skins message board. That had to be strange.

I have to say, that was great football game the Giants played yesterday. The look on Brady's face late in the game was not the look of confidence we are accustomed to seeing.

Yea keep telling your self that. Romo into the 3rd and you had how many rushing yards? Why even play Romo then? Yes I know that they did not play several starters but how poor they did play would worry me if I was a D fan. Even if what you have said is true what does it say about a team who can go out and not even try.

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans

I understand there were a few personal records at stake yesterday, but to me it just seemed completely ridiculous to leave Romo and Witten in the game that long especially with the weather and the fact that the Skins were in control from the very start.

Was a team completions record really worth risking your franchise QB to injury??

Even though it was minor, Romo looked kinda hurt walking into the locker room during Half Time. That pretty much explains to you that Wade Phillips is a complete idiot who doesn't care too much, but to TRY to beat the Redskins.

If you don't have anything to play for, bench your starters like a lot of teams did. It isn't that serious!

I thought 5 starters didn't make the trip.

I always have to do a double take on your avatar because you sound like a Skins fan each post or thread you make.

For a team not trying to win, explain to me the challenge right before the half.

And oh by the way lets not talk about a team playing without key starters.

How many injuries do we have again?

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans

First off congrats on your win.. Now come on anybody watching that game could tell Dallas was not giving their all. Not taking anything away from you guys you are a hell of a team and I think the 2nd best team in the NFC even though your record doesn't show it. I can see the Skins playing in Irving for sure. That being said if we play our best and you play your best I highly doubt your going to come out with the win on that one. Enjoy your win and good luck in Seattle.

Re: Congratulations Skins and Fans

Something else I wanna throw out there. The Cowboys did play their starters well most of them anyway yesterday for as long as they did not to win the game but to give them play time. Having a first round bye leaves a long sitting time if they were to take them out even at halftime. I mean come on did you not see the play where romo could have ran and picked up a first down with no problem but would have had to have taken a hit and chose to pass instead to a completly covered reciever? They were told to play but to play very safe.

Like I said in the game thread yesterday: they're keeping in the starters and risking major injury just to bolster individual achievement in the ultimate team sport. What a joke. Stupid Cowpokes.

Of course they are going to challange a play they know their going to be able to get reversed. That has nothing to do with playing safe and not caring to much abut the win.
