    Ogletree representing for Queens! He grew up about 1 1/2 miles from where I grew up, separated by about 30 years, that is.

    Boy, imagine the field day fatty would have if Martellus Bennett was a Jet and did all of his talking and a shimmy after scoring a TD when his team was still losing.

    Highlight of the week...and the Cowboys come into MetLife on opening night and get a win.

    I think I'm going to have to call him Bob Ryan from now on. NBC can't be wrong.

    I was looking up Ogletree and it seems his older brother was shot in Queens in January.

    I have watched Ogletree pretend to be a receiver for a couple of years now, funny to see him do it against the Giants today. And enjoyable. But you fantasy retards better suck an ice chip before you decide to trade for him. He made plays against backups and he'll lose his job before week three.

    He is okay. He puts his playmakers in position to succeed. But he is not his brother.

    With Rob Ryan philosophy on D and now Callahan running the offense the Cowboys are sort of built like the Jets 09-11 but with an established pocket passer.

    trade for Ogletree? I don't play fantasy, but people are going to claim him off waivers. I don't think he was drafted in the vast majority of leagues.

    The Cowboys D went a little soft and prevent on the Giants TD drive there in the 4th...but it did burn a lot of clock.

    Overall the Cowboys defense did a tremendous job containing the Giants offense

    Well, according to Michael Kay, the game wasn't as important for the Giants to win as Dallas. Ya know, first game of the season against a divisional foe and all.

    I hope this is a sign of things to come with the Giants.

    The Giants front line was great as usual, JPP, Osi and Tuck did their part. But damn their CBs are going to be the death of them this season, it was like they've never seen a slant route before. No wonder the Cowboys kept doing it. The Giants CBs couldn't even stop an inside route.

    If the Jets came out and lost opening day in their home stadium the media & doom and gloomers would have a picnic. Since it's the Giants, the season is far from over. Right. Remember who beat the Cowboys opening night last year. I have Tuck and Demarcus Ware on my defensive fantasy team and they did pretty good tonight.

    No. It was mostly an anemic offense. 269 total yards. 4 of 12 on 3rd down. Unable to score from the 2 yard line after that early pick. It is the Giants that appear to have few skill players on offense. Outside of Cruz, who will rapidly come to earth this year, and Nicks - who is going to take time to recover from his broken foot - what do the Giants have? Pedestrian below avg tight ends, an anemic running game, and Hixon? Let's see if the press jumps all over this horrible offensive performance that was aided by a Cowboys team playing prevent to get to 17 points late in the game.

    Both the secondary and the anemic offense were at fault - the Giants didn't look all that great on either side of the ball. Who knows what will happen, but losing a home game to a divisional foe is never a good thing.

    The reviver was brutally mugged on the goal line and no flag. Thats on the refs, not the Giants.

    The piss poor secondary play and their inability to catch Romo in the backfield cost them the game though.
