the D plated great. Some may say and use the excuse of no Odella. But even he would have not been that big difference maker.

We allowed 224 yards. But most of those uards came on 2 droves. Starting the 2nd half. Where you knew at some point they would put together a drive. They made adjustments and Moved the ball. But this was also after Scamdrick was out.
But they got what 70 yards on that drive, and then maybe 50 in garbage time. So a pretty darn good effort from our D all around.

They got sacks and a pick by Brown when really needed. Hope they can build on that, as they should.

The Giants offense is poor with Odell and brutal without him. They have nobody who can stretch the field; Marshall looks done. They made playing defense pretty easy for the Cowboys tonight. That said, the Cowboys took the opportunity and made the most of it.

I did it last year and was laughed at. I said it again this year and was laughed at.

Some of us said great things about this defense. The great thing is they are young and will get better. Not even including 2 of our best (potentially) DEs didn't even play and we start getting them back in a couple weeks

Top 5 lol it's a bottom 7 offense until proven otherwise. Experts aren't really experts in most cases.
Don't you know Giants are the number 2 team in the league.

Make no mistake about it. This defense is for real. Not the 85 bears or anything like that and I'm not saying they will hold every team to 3. No reason to downplay their performance tonight against a division opponent

Defense is barely a top 10 and 10 at best. Offense is trash and not even top 25. Lol hate to downplay it but let's be real here

Most all experts said Giants have a top 5 offense......i get it though Dak had the same words spoke about him and the same folks had to eat crow
Top 5 offense? Seriously? Hmm, FO has them 18th, and that's with Odell. Who had them top 5?

(NE, ATL, GB, DAL, PIT, OAK...which ones are they better than?)

all I heard was the lil giants were super bowl contenders and we were just trying to "figure it all out" this season...

A nice punch in the mouth to our divisional opp. and hopefully lets the team know we can make some moves if we keep putting in the work

I've said many times, as long as Eli's running their offense, you have a chance......in fact, a good chance (LOL)

Kudos to you for coming up with a very appropriate nickname for Scandrick.

Lol literally every team we play this year has a better offense besides maybe the 9ers.
Denver may be worse too. Next week is like this week on steroids: worse O and better D. I predict much hand-wringing about Dak and the offense after that game. Of course, I also predict much crowing about our great defense. Both takes will be wrong.
