Anyone Ready to Admit the Giants Actually Are Good?

They are well coached and the players are playing inspired football for them.

Meanwhile they are starting Jaylon Smith.

I gave them much praise the week leading into our game, and the arrow is definitely headed upward, but let’s see where things are at come our next meeting on Turkey Day.

I thought the Giants were surprisingly good going into the Cowboys game and I maintain that opinion of them. They are going to get better and will provide tough competition going forward.

Yes, sir. Their record, though. Means they are what they are. They find a way to win.

4-1 is nothing to shake a stick at. Not sure if we'll be able to reach that milestone this year, but I hope we can.

Teams like the NYG that draft in the top 10 for many years straight inevitably end up with a good deal of talent…
Def agree they are better than I expected but no one will ever be scared of them as long as Danny is their QB.

The Giants kind of remind me of the Panthers this time last year.

Decent overall team, but fool's gold

Their defense isn't quite up to par with us. But their team, overall, is good.

Yeah, I was saying during week three before we played them that they are a pretty good football team....

And we beat them with Cooper Rush.

That speaks volumes about how good we are when fully healthy.

But the Giants are now 4-1 and put it on the Packers, which puts them ahead of us if we don't take out the Rams.

That's how this division will be this year, if we want to win it.

We could beat the Eagles next week and still be tied with the Giants and Eagles for first place.

I don't think they are bad. It's clear they are building something. I also don't believe the Packers are all that impressive this year. In fact the NFC looks not so great. It's early though.

Kind of what I thought.

They're probably a Diggs and Parsons away from our team right now with Rush at the helm.

But I could be wrong. I've been predicting the Giants would be good almost every season since 2016.

Not sure I would say good, ok at best.....which is an improvement for them over the last 5 years.

Their D still looks a work in progress and they have zip at WR.

Put this another way, I'm glad they beat the Packers as it helps our seeding if we have any aspiration to go deep in the playoffs.

Or put this another way....who would you rather face in the playoffs, Giants or Packers?

Looks like a longer term good result for the Cowboys.

I've been pretty down on them in recent years. But this year, I could see things trending up for them.

They have solid talent on their roster, which makes them a tough team. They're also young, like us.

We are clearly the best team in the NFCE and can make the argument the best in the NFC...even with our starting QB sidelined. After we whop the Rams we will have beaten both SB teams from the prior year. Nuf said.

I'd like to pick up DJ Moore and Roquan Smith before the trade deadline.

Sign them to the deals they deserve in the off-season.

Especially for 3rds and 2nds.

Not sign Schultz and get the comp pick for him. His money goes to Moore.

Next year's LB corps is Parson's Smith and Clark.

NFC up for grabs and it would be between us and Philly as best young teams ìn the league. We would certainly be the more loaded team and still have a 1st in next year's draft to get us a center or another CB. This team is holding onto Dak at least 1 more season.

Kinda like us with Dak.

Seems to be more parity and some players having bad seasons so far. There’s many intangible from year to year. Teams and players change and power shifts....
Many on here have a strict narrative they adhere to and there’s no changing that. They’ll quote stats and rankings from past years like they’re the gospel. Past years and seasons are exactly that. Past. Gone. Done

No,

This speaks volumes about how good we are with Cooper Rush.
