10 days rest

[FuzzyLumpkins]

We are getting a mini-bye late in the season. Guys that have been banged up like Dak and the LB corps will be well served. Everyone hurts this late in the season.

I see the team coming out fresh and for all the fan hype for the Giants the reality is they are coming off normal rest. This narrative is not getting much play in the press but I think it will be the most important as to what goes on on the field this weekend.

Plus we get Lee back. And if they can get these next 2 wins. Then a fresh Zeke with a chip / boulder on his shoulder.
If, and it is a big if, we get to the playoffs, no one wants to face us.

So we will have to beat our opponents and the refs to get in.

Yeah, I think there will be a brief emotional response from NYG early. Maybe they jump out to a early 7-0 lead. Dallas wears them down as the game progresses, and win going away 24-10.

The extra rest is a nice bonus but getting this guy back on the field will help more than anything.

I would think the most important factor in the game this week would be the fact that Giants generally suck.......... suck much worse than we do.

Losing this game would a travesty.

Already anticipating the disappointment? Cannot say I am surprised.

Key..........OL, Dak and WRs

which offense shows up......pre-Commanders or Skins

Even our Skins offense didn't have to do much.....

Actually I believe the Cowboys will win. Cowboys are a better team than the Giants, even without Elliott.

That being said, it would be a monumental let down if they lose and frankly, should put Garrett's head on the chopping block because a loss to the Giants likely is one of the final nails in this season.

Hopefully not having Janoris Jenkins frees up Dez somewhat.

Regardless, Dak needs to get out of the funk he is in.

Let me guess..........you predict we are going to win this one in a blowout correct?

Agreed Fuzzy.

Let the Giants get the press over the firings, having nothing to lose (new life, wounded animal, etc), Eli making a courageous comeback from humiliation, only to have Dem Boyz ride into town and snatch a half-beating heart, and eat it in front of their fans and the east coast media!

 

[Zimmy Lives]

I expect the Cowboys to come out and bury the Giants on Sunday. I see them getting better/stronger the rest of the season.

I hope it works out that way, especially since I'm expecting this to be a tough one. Aside from this being a division game, there's something about playing against a team that just fired a head coach that the players quit on.

So I was right. You are anticipating how it will feel if we lose and disregarding how it would feel if we win.

And it should not get much play. All teams play TNF so all the whining about Dallas getting an extra bye has stopped.

 

[Staubacher]

Eli is playing. On a mission with the wind at his back. Garrett will be all smiles high-fiving him after he shreds us.

 

[Sydla]

LOL. Disregard how we would feel if we win? What I would feel is that we beat a team we should have beaten and stay in the slim playoff race. It also means I have a vested interest in outcomes of other games the rest of the day.

What exactly should we feel after a win over the lowly Giants? Throw ourselves a party?

A loss has far bigger ramifications than a win. A loss effectively kills our playoff hopes. A win doesn't put us in the playoffs.

Yup. All this talk about Eli this and McAddo that is BS. If we can't beat the Giants right now with what's at stake, we don't deserve it, so put up or shut up.

 

[garyo1954]

You either come out rested or you come out stagnant.

 

[jwooten15]

I'm still hesitant to fully believe the playoff are possible, but if we can win these last two games without Zeke, man, it's going to be fun to watch the end of the season.

Zeke will finally have all of his legal issues put to rest, and if he's actually be training while suspended and still in decent shape, he will annihilate opposing teams.

I don't get excited anymore than Sean Lee is coming back. I'd be happy if he can make it through a full game anymore. He's the definition of a tease.
