to think the giants could/should be 3-0 right now. Good to get a W, but nothing more than an ok performance today. Not gonna get any more optimistic after this one.

I don't think it has anything to do with wanting the game to end, I think Phil Simms is just awful. The man has no clue what he says or believes in a given minute. Being a Broncos fan I've heard more than enough from that blowhard over the last 5 years than I ever wanted to. It is to the point even if we get the national spot I tend to watch RedZone. I cannot take hearing him speak. I know we tend to be an NFC heavy board so Buck and Aikman get a lot of hate but I will never be there for I have suffered Phil Simms. I'll take Aikman over Simms on color any day of the week. That's coming from a Giants fan. Think about that.

A win's a win, but they gotta do something about this fourth quarter defense.
I also still don't get why they continue to throw on third downs past the two-minute warning when their biggest enemy is the clock at that point.

Nice win and all. Pass rush is absolute suck, and not much defense to be had in the 4th Quarter.
Also, how about those loud, raucous Giants crowd tonight? Felt like a damn Golf Championship out there.

I actually like Troy Aikman as a color guy and I'm a Giants fan who couldn't stand him in the 90's. But he's good and while he sometimes lets his Dallas bias show, I think he makes a good effort to be as objective as he possibly can. I don't even mind Joe Buck that much when he does football. I also get to listen to him talk on the radio every week with Mike Francesa and he's really good on his analysis. Anyway, I'll take those two easy over Nantz and Simms. And I loved Simms as a player, but man he's kinda shit at commentary.

Was one of them Mike Mayock? He's horrendous.

besides buck, I kinda like all of the fox guys. Kenny, Moose and Goose is probably the best crew, but homer Mets/Rangers bias has me partial to Kevin Burkhardt and Sam Rosen as well

I know everyone was like....
I was too, just because I didn't want them to blow another 4th quarter lead, which they came close to doing. Nice kick return coverage.

People will moan about Cousins but, anything is better than RG3. That guy is a complete bust. I think RG3 is a player who would have really benifited from sitting for a year or two while getting use to running an NFL offense. Probably would have benefited from not being thrown out there with a serious knee injury against a vicious defense. Shannahan was an idiot.

You know a coach is arrogant when he thinks he knows more about the condition of an athlete with a knee injury than Dr. James Andrews.

I tend to not listen to most broadcasts, usually it's just background noise, with the exception of Chris collonsworth. It's almost like he's giggling through everything he says. JBLish

Being a Dallas fan, this is the most depressed I've ever been to see this team go 2-0. Probably 3-0 after we face the Saints tbh. But hell, now that would be a 30-for-30 story: if we somehow still had a fighting chance for a playoffs spot or beyond with f***ing Brandon Weeden & Matt Cassel as our QBs.

My only issue with Aikman is that it should be illegal for him to call Packers or Cowboys games. Those multiple orgasms he has on live TV for Aaron Rogers and everything Cowboy Related has to violate a dozen or so FCC laws.
