Cowboys -v- Giants

[Guiness]

How the hell does a holding penalty on 3rd and 2 turn into 3rd and 10? An 8 yard penalty? New on me.

Have to say the refs are doing ok though...one of them looks to be about 25yrs old!

Well, the NFL is still the NFL. You just never know what you're going to get from year to year.

[Freak Out]

This just in....Demarcus Ware is pretty good.

If the penalty occurs past the LOS, I think it's marked off from the spot of the foul.

I thought the replacement refs did a fine job this game. Dallas was just a sloppy team.

Amazing what can happen when one team drops a bunch of passes and the other doesn't.

No kidding. Maybe now those creeps who follow the mighty Gmen will realize that the best team doesn't always win.

According to the Giant's DL, they didn't get enough penalties!

“I haven’t been held this much since I was a baby,” Kiwanuka said

Great line!

Joes, I didn't know about holding being marked from the spot of the foul. So the Olineman was 2yds beyond the LOS? It was a run outside the LT, so I didn't think so...went and found a highlight at nfl videos

Check just after the 3:20 mark. Whitten with the hold, pretty sure it was at the LOS. Oh well, hardly mattered.

If the Giants decide to play football this year, they won't start until sometime in late November or early December.

Could be too late by then for the GMen. Their end of the year schedule is brutal. GMen need to start fast.

They finish:

@Dallas
PITT
@Cinn
PACKERS
@Wash
NO
@ ATL
@ BALT
PHI

5-2 is the best I can see them finishing and more likely 3-4.

They need to start 7-2 or 6-3 to get into the playoffs I believe.

This is why we love football. A classically underacheiving Cowboys team with its classically underacheiving QB comes in to Giants stadium and beats the defending world champions.

World champs, but it felt like they caught lightening in a bottle...twice now. I don't know, maybe Coughlin is just that good at it?
