MNF: Giants at Cowboys(-2.5)

That TD to Manningham was an awesome play. He was out there by himself on the quick sideline throw, but the tackle and the guard both released and picked up the cornerbacks. I've never seen that version of a screen before.

Was it just me or did it look like that onside kick went 10 yards?
1) it was close
2) I saw a Giants player touch it first so the ball was live either way.


...3) Giants recovered it regardless.

Also...I knew Dallas was going to go for 2 down 18, despite the fact that kicking the XP is the far better play. I was going to post a message when they were down inside the 10 with ~8 to go saying, "Let's watch Dallas score and then wrongly go for 2." Then they went on to completely screw the pooch that whole sequence and came away with 0 (kicking the FG was also the better play in that situation...2 TDs and a FG are needed, take the FG now).

The first onside kick? I thought a Cowboy who was just laying on the ground recovered it. It rolled into his arms as it touched the 10 yard mark, I thought.

Eh, can't find any highlights of the kick, but I remember ESPN (THE source for all things accurate :lol:) saying the Giants recovered and the NFL play-by-play says kicked 9 yards and returned by Brandon Jacobs for 0 yards. So...yeah.
