LOVE IT!!!  I'm a cynic, so what?  How awesome was that stadium full of cow-humpers in dead silence when Tynes hit that field goal for the second time?  How awesome was Jerry Jones' disgusting goop face at witnessing a last second loss in his new bajillion $ stadium?  Pretty effin' awesome if you ask me... Grin

On a side note, since we're on the NFC, I have to give love to the only other team I like.  How 'bout them NINERS?!?!

How about those Niners, indeed!!

We still have no QB to speak of, and our top draft pick is AWOL...but we have a solid defense and a very nice running game, and in the weak-ass NFC West, that can win you a few ballgames.

I was really impressed by the Giant receivers, namely Steve Smith and Mario Manningham.

Yeah, both of those guys looked outstanding...and lest we forget, they also have everyone's favorite "big-fast-raw" WR prospect from this past draft, Ramses Barden, being groomed in the wings.  Smith and Manningham are both on the south side of 6 feet tall, so neither really fit the "big WR" role. Barden, at 6'6", could really help if he starts "getting it."

Poor Tony Romo.  He doesn't even have Jessica Simpson around to take the blame anymore. Cheesy

What about Hakeem Nicks?  I haven't heard too much about him.

The Giants had a LOT of trouble in the red zone... otherwise this game would not have been this close.

Hakeem Nicks (My favorite young WR of the corps) was injured in Week 1 with an ankle and will miss a few games.

I think we need to temper our hype of Mario Manningham for a bit. Steve Smith - not so much because he's shown flashes of this before and he can do stuff like this more consistently. Manningham? Not so fast (yet).

The G-Men play @ Tampa Bay next, and even though on paper it's an easier match-up, don't expect these massive WR numbers (and more numbers from the ground game this time).

Yeah, Giants really loaded up on targets for Eli the past few drafts for sure. Smith, Nicks, Manningham, Boss, Barden (coming soon)...makes me wonder if they have enough spirals to go around.
