The usual excuse for a close game between division opponents that are really far apart in talent in that they are division opponents but that won't fly here. Good teams beat bad teams badly. I agree, once they start with MIN and the rest of the schedule, we will learn a little more about this team but that really starts with taking care of bidness tonight.
The Giants are a bad team, lost 4 in a row and I don't care if they think the Taliban is coming to town, they are not good enough to beat the Cowboys unless the Cowboys allow that. This game isn't about the Giants, it is about the Cowboys being what their supposed to be, a true contender.
This isn't GB running into a resurgent Chargers team getting starters back; this is about one team that is superior to another showing that early and often. Do not let them hang around, limit the mistakes and penalties and keep whatever is left of their fandom quiet.
This is a statement game. They've got rough water up ahead and they need to prove to themselves that they're ready in that pond in NY.
