Giants Fall to Cowboys – Doug’s Sports Rap

The Giants went down to Dallas Sunday night hoping to end their 4 game losing streak against their arch rivals. But once again the boys came up short with a 27-26 loss.

The game was full of its usual controversial calls and fluky plays, but in the end it was the same scenario Giants fans have seen time and time again. You know the one with the opposing quarterback picking apart the Giants secondary play after play, and scoring with seconds left on the clock.

Eli Manning was 20 for 36 with 193 yards, but again no touch downs or interceptions in the air. The rest of the offense looked out of sync at times, but managed some good running plays to keep the final drive alive. This gave them a field goal putting them up, 26-20.

I thought the Giants defense played pretty good, creating three turnovers resulting in 17 points, but once again we saw no pass rush and Tony Romo with plenty of time to pass.

Coach Coughlin said the call to pass on 3rd down with under 2 minutes left in the game and stopped the clock. This ultimately gave Dallas another 40 seconds for the final drive that won the game was "on him".

Like many Giants fans, I'm disappointed in the outcome. But it's a game and life goes on.

This Sunday the Giants host the Atlanta Falcons at Metlife stadium. Catch all the action beginning with the pre-game show at 12 noon on your station for New York Giants football, 99.1 The Whale.
