Dallas Win won't mean sh*t

It meant s**t to me.

bingo...I know the whole "if they can't get up for this game, blah, blah, blah." But after all, they are human, its just normal for them to lose some intensity after such a great game. I guess thats joe's job, he's not gettng paid 5 mil to sit there and look pretty!

I think Gibbs is playing this Giants game psycologically, as well as he can. He said in his press conference yesterday that he is giving the guys Monday and Tuesday off. They will get this win out of their system by then and come Wednesday it will be all business again. They will see their game plan on Wed. and begin to change gears for Sunday. I am just excited that this game is at Fed-X. I think that will play a significant factor in the player's emotional level and intensity. The Skins desperately need to jump on the Giants early like they did the Cowboys and just take them out of the game. Hey, like they did the Skins in N.Y!

I would be lying if I said the Dallas sweep didn't mean anything to me. Regardless of what happens this year, those games were definitely huge highlights of the season and two of the greatest wins I've witnessed in my time as a Skins fan. In future years I think we'll look back on those 2 big wins very fondly.

In the grand scheme of things, the Dallas win is worth more than just a W. For the first time in ten years we swept the Cowboys, and to top it off we won a high stakes game in December in convincing fashion. The confidence that these guys will take with them on the field is worth more than just a "W." Instead of needing help, we can concentrate solely on the Giants and shutting down Tiki.

And it even has dividends for us fans. No more Cowboys fans in the Warpath running their traps about their clearly inferior team.

Season Sweep over Cowboys - Priceless! :headbange

Excellent insight! These "recipes for sucess" and points on how to win a football game are always so useful. It's like my all-time favorite article by Clark Judge on how to beat the Colts: stop their playmakers, score points yourself, keep them from scoring points.

So, basically to summarize, you're saying we need to play good football and keep the opponent from playing good football?

I'd like to post my 3 Steps to Success for the Giants game - we'll revisit it on Sunday and see if I'm right:

1) Score more points than the Giants (this means we will win)
2) Keep the Giants from scoring more points than we score (this also would mean we win.)
3) Score more points than th...oh wait, we already covered that.

Nothing irks me more than "football experts" tips and prognostications that, when you actually think about them, mean jack. I'm all for intelligent discussion and debate on football, but we seriously have to move beyond the old locker room mantra of "we gotta stop their playmakers and score points ourselves." It's so friggin obvious that's what we have to do, it doesn't take analysis.

Oh, and while we're on the topic of cliche locker room and columnist BS, you can NOT give "110%." 100% is all you can give - it's all you have. You can't give 10% more than you have. If it feels like you're giving 110%, you clearly underestimated what you originally had to give.

Tell us how you really feel...:)
