Figure I would start this, and hopefully it stays on topic about the game.

The front page is flooded with the fans hating on everything more than usual. Give them their days I guess. All that for future threads and topics.

I just want to win games, I don't care who is playing and who does what, just win.

Anyway, I am looking to see if the defense can continue what they did against the Bengals. Was it really the defense, or a really bad Cincinnati OL. Or did the defense as the Steelers defense have something to do with that.
Steelers are actually lucky yo win that game.

What can Moore do with the game plan to counter what seems to be an improved NYG defense. Now the NYG offense took advantage of some turnovers with great field position. What can they do against a better defense though.

With the spotlight on Micah from the opposing offense to Lawrence Taylor I'm looking for micah to show he's really the best player in the league. He has to show up every week and perform like Donald if he wants people to believe he's better.

Can Rush move the Offence is the $1,000,000 question.
We did just enough offensively to win last week.
Can he do it again/consistently ?

Bengals defense is not horrible. And I don't see the Giants being any better than them.
They have played 2 poor teams. Titans look to be a shell of themselves. And NY scored from turnovers on short field situations. Carolina is not all that great. However, it is only 2 games, so who knows. They will be playing with some confidence and at home.

So will come down to game plan and matchups. Can the execute the plays better than the giants do theirs.

NY defense will be fired up, so should Moore come out firing to try to take advantage to calm them down. Or just play conservative until they settle down a bit.

I think Dallas needs to keep the same fire from the first half of the Bengals game.
You need to establish the run game but allow/call plays for Rush to take shots in the mid parts of the field.
Can't allow a defense to cheat up all the time. Not only does it hamper the run game it closes off the short passing plays.

Offensively, they need to score early to make the Giants pass more than run more. I haven't really watched the Giants but see that Barkley has 236 yards in two games. 6.1 ypc.

Defensively, it'll be a good test against another good runner(well elite if Barkley is truly 100%) and we'll see if it's a repeat of the Bucs game or Bengals game in terms of stopping the run.

..same plan, they executed on Bengs. Only now, Rush will have Gallup as option.

As well as Tyler Smith has played and if Jason Peters can be an effective “plug and play” guy at either LG or LT, I would like to see an upgrade in the running game. If this team has an above average running game with the quality of this defense, the team’s chances for a playoff spot are there.

Lots and lots of football to be played. The offense needs to improve quite a bit. As it stands now, our offense is well below average. That must show incremental improvement and I believe it starts with the OL.

They will try peters at LG as they should, if its not working then think about swapping...I want Tyler playing as many snaps as he can at LT. Be nice not to worry the season is over when Tyron goes down.

Expect a raucous crowd.
Giants' best start in six seasons, when they also won the first two games in 2016.
Since then, NYG had stumbled in September:
2017__0-4
2018__0-2
2019__0-2
2020__0-5
