Dallas used Giant mistakes and Martin Gramatica’s leg to pull out a 23-20 victory over the New York Giants today.  The Giants lost their cool at times today, called for 4 personal fouls, and newly signed Martin Gramatica nailed a 46 yard field goal for the win.

I enjoyed todays victory for several reasons.

1. It gives Dallas a 2 game lead in the East with only 4 to play.

2. It came at the expense of the Giants….and Jeremy Shockey.

3. Tony Romo didn’t play well….but they still won, mainly in part to his excellent 4th quarter play.  I’ve been waiting for him to have a “bad game” and still find a way to win it.  The guy needed some humility, or to come “back to earth” so to speak.  I’m hoping today did it.

4. Because I called it, 2 weeks ago.  And because Mike from NC, and his wife called in and said the Dallas kicking game was awful!

All that said, I gotta give it up for Eli Manning.  The kid played great today, avoided major mistakes, ran around in the pocket, and made every play he needed to.  He also got a little hot under the collar a couple times, which I thought was promising.
