do you always like it because you always win? I honestly can’t say I enjoy all these losses, but I don’t mind if my boys play as hard as Jones did last night.

Speaking for myself, I enjoy them because there is a lot of shared history between our sides. The fact of the matter is, if not for the Giants, there'd likely be no Cowboys. The Giants were the ones who highlighted Landry before he became the Cowboys HC when we were founded. We also have shared Parcells and are the only two teams in the league to have been coached by Jason Garrett. I'd say, of our division rivals, I have the most respect for the Giants. Also, I should note that I do take holiday at the Jersey Shore.

Yes, that was a classy post.

From a Giants fan. A New York Giants fan.

.............Okay, you're up to something. ......I don't know what it is, but I'm on to you!

Seriously, though, I hope that Giants fans never feel as though they don't have their chapters in the rivalries that exist in NFC East history.

True, the Washington "Who gives a ____'s" and the Philadelphia Eagles have dominated Cowboys rivalries but there will always be the memories of Phil Simms and his smug grin, LT dissecting the remains of a once proud Cowboys dynasty and Eli Manning stinking it up for three and three fourth quarters only to.....to..... well, you know what happened!

So, don't ever feel left out.

I thought Jones played well last night considering the amount of pressure he was under all game. He didn't turn it over until the very end when his WR slipped and fell.
Yeah I don't think you can blame that interception on Danny Dimes. The WR fell and Diggs made a great catch. I didn't think Jones was all that great of a QB till Monday. He played well considering being harrassed all night and his WRs dropping passes. Barkley and Daniel kept them in it with little help from their offensive line and receivers. Dan was killing us with his legs too.

What did you think of the one that was called on shepherd? To me it looked like a fair call but a lot of giants fans thought it was a bad call. I would of been fine with a no call had he not kinda lowered his shoulder that made it seem intentional

good question….I think they called it because he left his feet, which may have given the impression he was purposely running into the DB. I didn’t see it that way and thought he did not commit a crime, but your Boys got hosed twice for sure so who was I to complain?

It was a hard fought game. *offers my hoof to shake your hand* and we know the calls weren't your fault. The refs across the league are terrible. I think your team is improving, and I'm interested to see our future battles.

if you listen to the vocal Giant fans on social media, you probably won’t have to worry about Danny Dimes next year. I hope they are wrong, but I don’t know….I guess we have to wait to see how this year pans out.

Another area where Cowboys fans and Giants fans are almost identical haha. I suppose if you knew nothing about the Cowboys and read this board, you'd assume Dak Prescott has scrambled eggs for brains and a pool squirt gun for an arm.

Ive visited this site enough to know that we do share similarities on what we think about our starting QB.

I think the big difference is your guy makes 40M, my guy makes about 8M. I would surmise if Dak was making 15-20M, most of his detractors would not be….a detractor. But I’m sure you guys have debated Dak just as much as we Giant fans have debated Dimes, and whether he (Dimes) deserves to receive a multi year big contract. Honestly, I stay out of these debates…especially now that we have a GM and HC I feel I can trust….unlike the guys they replaced. I will let them decide and then I will support their decision.

I'm that same way with Mike honestly. The only trouble is, it's not entirely his decision, and binning our GM isn't as simple as it is for the Giants.

This is a good example of the knowledgeable fan base in the Northeast . Fans love there teams . Leonard Williams was a huge hit helping the Cowboys gash the Giants on the running game which opened up the passing lanes for Cooper .

Toney can’t beat you from the trainers table . Jones and that offense really needs Golladay to get his head out of posterior because that receiving corps is paper thin . Good post Giants fan.

Galloday is the example of why you develop your own players instead of over paying free agents from bad teams.

we just overpay our own guys on a bad team……don’t need much outside help from free agency

A 12-5 team is a bad team? Winning record since Dak has been the starter since 2016 ok. Agenda much….:huh:

Wow, you’ve been happy with winning in the East and then flopping in the playoffs?

a team that has 3 playoff wins since 2000 is a good team?

you and I have very different definitions of a good team because their lack of success in the postseason speaks for itself.

so tell us all what my “agenda” is now that I’ve laid out the facts……I’d love to know

Just stating facts the Cowboys are not a great team but their not bad either. Don’t let facts get away with a bad take.

The giants would have won that game if Daboll would put some weight on. Average fat ain't going to beat super fat Mike.
