so pauly, about the 'boys/giants game...

[silverwhisper]

i'm really looking forward to this one. do you have any guys who'll miss it, b/c i'd hate for anything less than a perfectly healthy dallas team to walk into giants stadium. to the best of my knowledge, all the giants starters are gonna suit up for this game, barring a practice injury this week.

i'll confess, i'm hoping burress has anywhere near the kind of game he had in the season-opener.

The only major injury I know of other than Terry Glenn who wasn't played a down this year is CB Anthony Henry. He is still a little gimpy from a sprained ankle from week four's game against the Rams. He is expected to be used in nickle and dime packages but Jacques Reeves will get the start again.

One addition to the roster is Tank Johnson. This will be his first game back. Hopefully he will help keep Ratcliff fresh at nose tackle.

for the giants, the injuries are:

steve smith (WR), not a starter, out (hamstring)
derrick ward, doubtful (groin & ankle). his performance has suffered in the past few games due to it.
plaxico burress, questionable (ankle sprain), but he's been playing all season on it even though it's keeping him out of practice. man, i wonder what kinda season he'd be having if he were healthy...

oughta be a great game but i'm gonna be gaming tomorrow, so i'll have to watch it on tape.

Burress has been doing his Steve Mcnair impersonation all year. Doesnt practice but still goes out and torches the opposing team all day Sunday.

I'll be working and my VCR shit the bed long ago so the best I'll be able to do is catch the highlights on sports center. Oughta' be a great game. Well if the Boys win it'll be a great game.:D

dude, can't you have someone tape it for you?

[Paulypalooza]

dude, can't you have someone tape it for you?

And play it on what? My VCR died a few months back. I'm not going have somebody tape it for me and then ask "I know you allready saw the game but do you mind if I hang here for three hours so I can watch it?"

[silverwhisper]

crap, wasn't thinking.

btw, target online has stand-alone VCRs for cheap, if you're in the market.

Thanks, I might check them out for the playoffs.

Plax is active for this afternoon's game, FYI.

That was one dumb penalty by Dallas before the half.

[carmachu]

wow, giants collapsed in the second half.

[Paulypalooza]

I got lucky and got to leave early from work and saw the whole game.

That was one dumb penalty by Dallas before the half.
Yeah it was. I think talking smack to your opponent definitely has a place in the game, but literally getting your face mask inches from somebody else's and barking at them is always going draw a flag. It pretty much gave the Giants 3 points.

The Giants ran the ball well and Shockey had a big day but when Toomer and Burress are held to 37 and 24 yards respectively your not win a lot of ball games.

Three delay of game penalties!?!?

All week long I was hearing from the media and Giant fans about the Giants well publicized pass rush. Well they only got to Romo twice while the Boys harassed Manning all day sacking him 5 times.

After yesterday's performance The NFC East is Cowboy's to lose. I think the Cowboys Packer game in a couple weeks may decide who gets home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Something that at least **** will tell you is crucial to the Cowboys.

damn, the giants were doing good until the 'boys broke 'em in the 3rd quarter.

they got disciplined and let the giants make the stupid mistakes. ah, well. i didn't think they were really gonna win the game but they did play a solid first half. now, if only they could put together a solid 60 mins of football.

your guys deserved the win, pauly. well-played. :>
