Cowboys are a bad match up for the Giants

[nobody]

Beckham is going to get hit hard and often early in the game and it's going to throw off the timing of the Giants offense. Dallas will dominate the TOP. The score might be close, but watch for Dallas to take the win.

Then your sources are bad. Giants want an inexperienced QB in there. The D is designed to pressure and create turn overs. A rookie is exactly what they want.

sources are giants fans. which this subject was predicated on. i mean i definitely heard confidence but i also saw timidness and concern. goes both ways. its not all confidence.

im looking forward to us smashing them and for the pundits to ask if Dak can do it again while more teams have more tape on him. excuses will continue building.

ive never felt this confident about our team in a long time.

Don't get me wrong, Dak will make mistakes. He just has the right mentality to make up for them. He's got the same mentality as Romo in many ways. Romo has thrown 5 interceptions in a game and still led his team to victory. I think Dak is capable of similar once he gets some more experience. Dallas will do just fine.

yup. either he has that "it" factor or he doesn't.

You haven't paid much attention to OBJ since he's gotten into the league have you? He does pretty well against everyone. Sure, a few down games. But for the most part he torches everyone.

So, apparently an unnamed Giant fan hasn't paid much attention to games against Dallas. But who counts those?

2 bad games, an average one and one where he torched the Cowboys. Not exactly a big sample size to go by.

Unless it's a rookie who can beat the pressure. Or can beat contain and convert with his legs. Or if your defense can't tackle well at the 2nd level in the running game.

I don't believe for a second the average Giants fan is confident about this matchup, with or without Romo. Most Giants fans know better than to overlook this Cowboys team on opening weekend because they're learned their lessons the hard way.

On defense their strength is the DT. That matches up with our run game but our interior linemen are the best in the game. Further their LB stink. If we stick to the run we should be able to run the ball effectively.

I'm not sold on Vernon Williams and I am betting that Tyron has had this matchup on his mind ever since March when he signed with the NYG. 3 fingers isn't what he used to be.

They signed Jenkins and drafted Eli Apple but Jenkins is no matchup for Dez, recall the 2014 matchup, and he is used to being the second corner on the Rams who kept Trumaine Johnson and its not like they are a squad overflowing with talent. Apple was injured for part of camp and remains a rookie in his first game. Please iso him on Dez.

Their S are spares.

They don't have a running game. They don't have tremendous power on their OL and the pass pro outside is suspect. We do a good job covering outside but outside of Vereen they don't have threats at TE/RB.

Yeah Zeke against their LB is a mismatch. If they had better RB/TE I'd be more concerned about our coverage in the middle of the field. Outside coverage hasn't been an problem with our cover 3.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Giants fans talk about the speed from their recievers. Well, here is the speed from ours. Dez, though not blazing, still gets downfield. TWill and BButler our big speed downfield threats. Beasley the speedy slot receiver. Then add LWhitehead, who probably is the fastest as our 5th wr. No doubt this is the deepest we have been at wr I can remember. Including the SB years.

Mister whiny temper tantrum? Nah, he's mentally weak. Sure, he has good games, but he does not like to get popped at all. I just hope we see the new personal foul rule in action and hope the refs watch him like a hawk.

Hope you enjoy your Giants starting 0-1.

The offense we have is capable of exposing any weakness an NFL defense has, they can run it til you stop it, then burn you through the air, short medium and deep. It's up to the rookie to use his tools, we will see. Defense will hold its own. Call me a homer, but this is as good of an offense in the league, can't think of a better one. We are loaded for bear, giants will find out soon.

I do not see this at this time, how ever if the Giants OL is as bad as last years I would give our defense a fair chance. If not then Eli WILL carve us a new one. If trading scores is how this game is going I would give the Giants the Win. If the Boys defense can stop Eli a few times (or turn overs) and we own the clock, I have the boys winning. I have the Giants winning this one 24-21.

The only problem that I see is that Eli is frequently allowed to cheat and intentionally ground the ball to avoid a sack. It depends on not only the defense, but the refs doing their jobs.

So many people are stuck on 2015 and the Romo-less offense, as if there is some rule the Cowboys can't win without him. But if you stop to consider who cycled through in his absence, it shouldn't be that hard to see why they played horrible. Something about Dak suggest to me he is a completely different breed of QB than last year's QB corral and if you watched as the camera panned to Romo after each Dak Touchdown, you might get the impression that Romo think so too.

He saw the end of his career for the first time since starting here. It's a sobering reality that he was served by Dak. I hate it for him considering all that he has done for this franchise...but at the same time, I really am excited at the prospect of the future with Dak. He has that warriors intensity. Not sure how to explain it.. there's just something about Dak's presence that inspires confidence. After Sunday, I suspect the world is going to be talking about Dak and his utter decimation of the Giants.

Of course, be ready for the naysayers...they'll say, "Meh. Just wait until teams have tape on him, he'll come back to earth!". The problem with that statement is there is no amount of preparation and/or film study that will prepare teams for being out-executed by the likes of that offensive line, Dez, Witten and Zeke.

Well jday, this is what I think too, and we will find out sunday I guess.
I think he just has the winner attitude, and he will win games.
he doesnt have to have 154 passer rating, just win the games.

He was recently asked whether he'd ever met anyone who he thought worked harder than him, he simply replied, "no."

This kid seems to be everything die-hard Cowboy fans have been waiting for, and despite Tony's great play through seasons' past, I think we've found an Aikman-like legend in the making with Prescott...

Giants fans were dreading this matchup with Romo in. With Romo out, we are loving this matchup.

I agree rookie QB and RB makes most defensive coordinators salivate, if the Giants can stop the running game and force Dak to throw long the boys will be in trouble without doubt his accuracy needs to be tested. The Giants have been so lucky to not have a QB injury since getting Eli, hope that continues and you never realize how few backups of quality there are in the NFL. IMO the boys will beat the Giants stacked Dline and it will be a battle royale with both teams exhausted after the game. This running back is special and just needs a small crease and he will be on the safeties in a flash with them having to make a business decision. I also think Dak being able to run will really stress the defense especially with the demands of doubling Dez, leaving Witten and Beasley to do their thing one on one. I do agree with Romo behind center this game tilts in our favor, looking forward to a good game and no injuries.

And Shepard and Donnell will burn you.

Lol right. Donnell? Byron Jones will take care of that
