Giants assuming Owens will play no matter what Dallas says

By Joe Zedalis

The New York Daily News reported Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Ownes didn't come close to practicing Wednesday, and coach Wade Phillips, who didn't even set eyes on his star wideout, could offer little hope that he will be able to suit up, a signal the New York Giants interpreted as pure and simple smoke.

As defensive end Justin Tuck put it, they are not buying the head fake.

"He will play," Tom Coughlin said. "There is no doubt in my mind he will play."

    TO leads the league in dropped passes every year and is overrated. I bet he plays and drops two TDs.

    the best thing would be Da Boys pulling it out with T.O. on light duty so he can get another week to be ready for the Pack

    Yo Tamacco, grow up. You are the worst kind of fan. I want every Giants player ready to go. I also wish Shockey was healthy. Teams that make the playoffs deserve to have their best players available.
    With or without Ownes, you all still have Eli as a QB and he'll be facing a defensive rush that's better than the Giants. The only prayer you have is if Jacobs rushes for 120 and Romo throws 3 pics.

    #10, the 1st post are the worst. Can you imagine your life being so bad they you actually feel victorious by posting 1st? That is somebody who has experienced a lot of loses in their life. Insult to injury is when they keep submitting it.
    Anyway, big Cowboy fan here and I am not sure T.O. will play. My question is this: If Jason Garret is this offensive mastermind then it shouldn't matter. Who is responsible for a great offense? Is it the coordinators or the players? I think it's the players.

    I say the people who have such pathetic lives they wait just to post "1st" on a thread but Robin L with the constant posts about some stupid website is a close second.
    In response to this thread I would say the Giants are wise to prepare for TO as though they know he's playing. Personally I think they should do away with injury reports in sports. It will force teams to be, or attempt to be, fully prepared for whatever might happen and anyone who might play.

    Joseph T is an internet tough guy, he's got me so scared it's hard to type. Tammaco, hoping another player is hurt is pathetic. I'd like to see the giants make T.O. look like a fool, but not hurt him. I'm a Pats fan and this game doesn't really mean anything to me, but it should be a good one, and I hope it's played clean. That's why the Cowboys should sit Roy Williams.

    I'm glad the coach of the Giants knows that #81 will play..He must be able to predict the future..Looking forward to his frowns and frustrations as we move on to the championship game..T.O. could sit with the talent we have..Miles Austin will probably catch the game winner.. Go Dallas!

    patrick b-........ you are quick to call out roy williams when his game is pure instinct?? while your team was questioned for "spygate ??, & furthermore what about your own beloved rodney harrison... yeah he's a beacon for fair play huh? roys excuse is his tackling is part of his instinct. rodney uses taunts & bravado for his psyche which will you choose.... you probably never played the game so stay in a fans place,

    JML... I agree with you on joseph t, but if YOU'RE gonna bust on someone, you might want to learn the proper use of the words, you, your & you're.
    and with TG spending much of the last few years hurt I don't think he'll be too much of an impact to the game

    5 of the last 6 games, the Giants have looked pretty aggressive, while the Cowboys have meandered through their last 4 games. Maybe Romo will pull this one out for his first playoff win, but, if I were a die hard Cowboys fan, I would be very concerned about all the X factors right now.
    Romo has not had a good game in a month
    TO won't be at 100% even if he does play
    Glenn is still not 100% and will be favoring this knee after the first big hit
    Garrett, Sporano, etc. may be looking ahead to another team after the season and that hurts the teams confidence.
