Giants Advance, Send Romo Back to Cabo

Wow!

I am speechless right now. I'm shaking. I seriously almost just threw up.

I can't believe how the Giants game against the Cowboys just ended. Eli played great despite being pressured by the Cowboys defense the whole game. Sure, throwing for 2 TDs and 163 yards isn't sexy, but he got it done - like that big, big drive at the end of the first half where he led the Giants to an important TD in 46 seconds. Amani Toomer was great again catching both of Eli's TDs and coming up with a lot of big first down plays.

But the game ball doesn't go to Eli or Toomer. The game ball goes to the entire Giants defense who held the vaunted Cowboys offense to 17 points. Romo played okay, but was clearly rattled by the Giants pressure. And I thought there were times in the first half where the Dallas offense was running Barber so much because something was up with Romo's thumb. Sure, Barber killed the Giants all day long - so that clearly had something to do with it -- but it definitely wasn't the same Tony Romo. Maybe he had a sun burn or something. Or maybe he drank the water in Mexico.

So, the Giants advance to the NFC Championship Game next week against the Green Bay Packers. It's supposed to be 12 degrees in Green Bay. One person won't mind though. Tony Romo has already re-booked his room from last week in Cabo. Hopefully that room comes with a complimentary box of tissues...
