Anyone Ready to Admit the Giants Actually Are Good?

[Hoofbite]

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.

beating the eagles would mean Dallas is in 1st place. Tiebreakers and whatnot.

Aaron Rodgers has owned this team for a long time, great test for our defense!

One of the man reasons he’s owned the Cowboys is because of their lack of a pass rush. He’s never faced a Cowboys pass rush like this one. It just needs to show up when we play them.

 

[Captain-Crash]

no, they are not good. No way Rush could beat two super bowl teams and another good team. Just stop it, they all suck.

 

[Verdict]

The NFC is up for grabs.
I didn't think I could say this at the start of the season, but the Cowboys with its defense can represent the NFC in the Super Bowl as much as any of the top teams in the NFC.
Our offense has to keep up.

Looking ahead who are the teams who seem to be on course for the playoffs in the NFC?

Tampa Bay
Eagles
Cowboys
Giants????
49ers?

Of that group, Tampa Bay and the 49ers cause me the most current concern in the playoffs. I would still say Tampa Bay is potentially the biggest road block on the way to the SB.

They are 4-1 and just beat the Packers. I think anyone who thinks NFC East is a push over, is mistaken

 

[TexasHillbilly]

The Packers aren't a good team right now.

Shouldn't take Rodgers much longer to start whining about it. Probably have the coach fired.

 

[NeathBlue]

The Giants are better than most people thought they’d be, but they’re nothing special …
And Green Bay are not as good as they were, Rodger’s has few weapons around him and he looks a bit off himself.

I dont think I am there yet.

The Giants are 19th in DVOA, per Football Outsiders. They're a mediocre squad that has caught some breaks.

Philly is very legit though. If we're looking at DVOA, they are #2 in the league behind the Bills.

..let's just say, GB ..whiffed the game.

I think so too. They should have been running the ball more. They just got pass happy. Giants have a good D and the Packers are light on the WR crew.

[Big_D]

Their previous coach and GM were absolute crap. They screwed that team up. They’re definitely headed in the right direction in comparison.

 

[Jumbo075]

Leadership matters. Getting rid of Dave Gettleman, and hiring Coach Brian Daboll has made a difference in the team. But they have more missing pieces than either the Cowboys or Eagles. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if they go 10-7.

No, I won't admit the Giants are good because they aren't. They are improved with a healthy Barkley, but they have no passing game and the rest of the team is average at best. I think the arrow is pointing up for them and the new coaching staff appears to be a big upgrade. However, they need to find a better QB and some WRs.

..GB under estimated NYG. On replays, they gaffed on big plays more then once.

Rodgers was probably more interested on site seeing England, then on NYG.
