Cowboys And Giants Both Looking Good

[skinsfaninok]

Romo is consistent, but they wont score like that against a good d, like ours!!!

[mooby]

They both did look good tonight, we are gonna have to work on our game if we expect to compete with them in the East this season.

[Meks]

^ i dont think they could work as good offensivly against us.

[Daryl Elite]

Lorenz (or whatever the backup for NY is called) did one of the stupidest things I've seen today...

Sliding on 4th down! He's this huge guy and could have easily picked up the extra yard if he'd just kept going instead of acting like he's 5'11" 180 lbs.....

They both looked awful on defense. I thought our zone coverage was bad. So much for Wade Phillips freeing them up to play the way they're capable.

Horrible defenses. If our defense plays like it did prior to 2006 these guys will not score that much. The scary team in the division is still Philly IMO (I know, they lost to GB).

[bedlamVR]

I have to agree the defences of both teams just didn't turn up the first score of the Giants was so predicatable it was untrue ...run run play action over the head of head of Henry and Williams .

I think the play of the first half was when the Cowboys were driving ... when wern't they? Romo barking out audibles and then Gourde just snapped the ball catching Romo totally unprepppared .

You want to say they looked better than us then fine you go and support them I think Campbell didn't have the best day but Romo Vs a NFL calibre defence would be destroyed the timing routes where well off and Witten made big play over big play in the middle and was never covered ..

The other thing that struck me is the injuries on both teams ...significant .

I will conceed Marrion Barber is a stud, big powerful back but then he is being compared to Jones who is an absolute bust

We had better improve the intermediate passing defense (10-15 yards downfield) if that is going to be true. I'm also curious to see what our d line does against a "varsity" offensive line. We were constantly pushing the line of scrimmage back against Miami, Dallas and NY? We'll see.

Kiawanuka (sp?) is a liability on pass plays. Cooley should (and will) abuse him consistently.

Honestly, if I'm EITHER team I'm worried about my defense, the Cowboys in particular. That's supposed to be their bread and butter. Next week we'll see what the Cowboys are really made of. Miami's defense should be able to shut down their offense pretty well.

If Campbell was going up a D like that today. i think we would have won 40-13

I'm a redskin fan but I'm not blind,Campbell has never had a game or come close to looking as good as Romo did last nite,Campbell consistently misses guys that are wide open,and he misses them badly,I dodnt know if he gets too excited when he sees them that wide open or what.I love Sellers,and maybe if he got more carries he could compare to Barber,but right now he doesnt

i personally want jacobs to play against the skins. i just dont think he is that good

I don't know if it's just me or does anyone else notice that Romo's passes never hit anyone in the hands? I could be crazy, but sometimes I feel like his receivers make him look a lot better than he is. Like in nearly all of his passes last night it looked like some wobbly duck that people had to readjust to catch.

Both defenses played like total garbage and was the main reason both offenses looked 'good'.

I agree. That was one of the worst defensive displays I've seen. Dallas kept hitting the same in route over and over and the Giants kept getting single coverage with Reeves on Burress. Neither team ever adjusted to what the other was doing.

All the Cowboys players were saying in essence that Parcells was holding them back because he made them think too much and now they were going to be free to do this and that. What a load. Anybody that believes that a Wade Phillips team will outperform a Parcells team has bought a pig in a poke.

As for the Giants, if they can't play defense, they are lost because Eli will not put up numbers like did last night much more this year if at all. And they lost that game anyway too.

Unfortunately, I tend to agree. It's early however, and if JC can get protection from his O-line, maybe he can calm down and improve. We still don't really have a pass rush defensively, only when we blitz the hell out of our defensive backfield (save the one good rush by Andre Carter).
