Giants 35, Cowboys 14: Brad Johnson Is Not Very Good at the Quarterback Position

Text Size A A A

See that picture to the right? That is Justin Tuck, and he is placed gingerly on top of Dallas quarterback Brad Johnson. If you watched the Giants beating today, you probably understand why this was the picture we picked.

Basically Wade Phillips, Jerry Jones and company are in serious trouble. Dallas looked as bad as the Giants looked good.

While Eli Manning and company were doing what they do, the Cowboys were throwing interceptions, fumbling the football and allowing guys like Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward to run all over them. If it wasn't for a second quarter interception by Mike Jenkins of the Cowboys, this game might have been called for the mercy rule.

While the quarterback position is a serious problem for Dallas, it appears the woes are deeper than that.

Marion Barber, who averaged a pitiful 2.8 yards per carry, bounced outside all day, which would have been a good idea if two or three Giants weren't sitting there waiting for him.

The Giants defense outperformed the Cowboys O-line like USC playing Washington.

While the Cowboys have basically zero good things to talk about from this game, they have a lot to look forward to after this game. The bye week couldn't be better if it was six winning Powerball numbers for Dallas, who quickly went from the best team in the league to last in their division.

It obviously wasn't all Dallas problems. Manning threw three touchdowns on a day he didn't have his best stuff. Jacobs looked like the beast he has quickly become at running back. Tuck has 2.5 sacks and Corey Webster was twice on the other end of a bad pass from one of the Dallas quarterbacks.

New York is now 7-1 and the best team in the NFC. I guess when looking at the Tony Romo injury, you could simply say one man's trash is another man's treasure. The Giants will surely take it.

Dear Cowboy Haters,

Thank you for making my franchise the most valuable in the NFL. Even though we are having a tough year, we still get more attention than the other team. Without all that attention, probably only 2 or 3 of my players would be among the top 10 selling jerseys instead of 4. After taking an 11 year vacation from playoff victories, I surely expected someone to surpass our record of 5 World Championships and 8 Superbowl appearances, but none of you have. I would like to invite you to be my guest in my brand new billion dollar stadium next year. Once again, my bank account and I want to express our gratitude to you. Your jealousy in appreciated.

$incerely,

Jerry Jones

I am a life long COWBOY fan but the lack discipline and the lack of urgency to play is reflected by a less than average head coach who keeps taking the blame for losing but nothing is ever done to correct the same damn stupid mistakes and penalties that should have been worked out in preseason. Jerry Jones.....swallow your pride and get on your knees and beg Jimmy Johnson or even Bill Cowher to give the COWBOYS what they lack......dedication, commitment, and teamworkalong with DISCIPLINE !!!

We are the Raiders South. It is too easy to pitch stones now. The brightest spots lie on the defensive side of the ball and some of the injured who will return. Will this fix these Cowboys? No. It'll cover some of the bruises, but this team is a mess.

This is turning into one of the most historic busts certainly in Cowboys history.

When were the Cowboys the best team in football? Years ago.
The Giants own that tag now. Yes, the Titans are still unbeaten, but the Giants are the defending Super Bowl Champions and are 7 - 1. The best team.

When will T.O. start crying? How 'bout Jerry Jones? How 'bout those New York Giants?

Hey I am a true cowboys fan and guess what things should be bad when you lose as many as players we have lost this year. But because we are the Dalllas cowboys we dont make exuses we deliver and we will squeak into the playoffs and get the job done this year.
