A good Monday night for football...

With 2:33 left in the game, the Giants are spanking the Cowboys 36-15, and other than watching Eli Manning throw some inexplicably errant passes, I have enjoyed this game.

The only down point was that t.o. scored. However, he dropped an easy pass that would have converted on a 4th down, after which the Giants marched down the field and scored a TD. Also, t.o. got drilled on some plays.

[With 2:03 to go, the Cowboys just scored, but they are still down 14 points.]

Cowboys fans got their wish in the second half as Tony Romo took over at QB, and then on his very first play threw an interception. He went on to throw two more interceptions on two really bad passes, the second of which was returned for a TD.

Other than Eli being less than sharp, the Giants' offense looked pretty good. Brandon Jacobs is a short-yardage beast.

Unfortunately, Lavar Arrington is now gone for the season with a ruptured achilles tendon. I just hope the defensive line keeps up its excellent play. If that happens, the Giants' D will be in good shape.

The Giants now lead the NFC East at 4-2.

What I enjoyed was seeing Jacobs just run over people, especially on his touchdown. He was absolutely unstoppable on short yardage plays. He would get hit at the line and just keep going.
