When you drop 35 points on an opposing defense, you are usually going to win the game a large majority of the time. Not last night though. Last night against the Dallas Cowboys, the Giants suffered an embarrasing 45-35 loss at the hands of the Wade Phillips-led Dallas Cowboys.While the Giants juggernaut offense led by Eli Manning performed tremendously despite the early loss of Brandon Jacobs to a knee injury, the team couldn't make up for the ineptness of its horrendous defense. There were highlights to the game -- like Eli's 4 TDs and 314 yards passing and Plaxico Burress's 144 receiving yards and 3 TDs -- but they were only offensive highlights.
Tony Romo, who in my opinion is an average quarterback, looked like a freaking all-star last night throwing for 345 yards on 15 passes and 4 TDs. I know he was on the Pro Bowl last night, but is more deserving of that honor because of his catch of Carrie Underwood than for his football prowess. I can't even count how many times Terrell Owens and Jason Witten were completely wide open during the game. It's like the Giants defense didn't even prepare for the game. I won't even blame the first half injury to Osi Umeniyora for the Giants tremendous ineptness on defense. In total, the defense gave up 478 yards, sacked Romo ONCE, and allowed the most points in the first game of the season in the franchise's 83-year history
Late in the game, it got even worse as Eli went down with a shoulder injury in the 4th quarter. Hopefully all three injured Giants aren't out for an extended period of time because if they are the Giants season is over before it barely started .... God help us all.

Lets see your 'juggernaut' offense with Bob's big boy running it. Lorenzen is the worst second string QB in the league. Giants didnt want to trample Eli's feelings and get a controversy going so they keep a mediocre backup. He played really well against the Cowboys. Romo is not an 'average' QB. He lit you up and has a lot of weapons. He made the pro-bowl after only 10 starts last year. He is very accurate, moves well in the pocket and reminds a lot of people of a younger stronger Kurt Warner. Neither of you are going anywhere because you dont have a defense. As we all know, defense wins championships and offense fills the seats. Go Redskins!
