The Cowboys scare me.

theebs;2111332 said:You can call it a hot streak, which it was. You can also say that is a team that has vastly underachieved the last two seasons in the second half of their schedule. They have been more talented than their record has shown.
Last year they picked it back up after the new england game.
I don't believe so.theebs;2111125 said:They are just as talented as us.

I expect the Giants to fall by the wayside this year, like so many other one-and-done teams. Their talent is good, but not great. Their secondary lacks depth, their offense lacks big plays, and they lost their best safety.
The Cowboys can't be considered upper-echelon until they win, but there's a reason the oddsmakers have the Giants only 6-7th in SB odds. They just aren't as talented as the teams ahead of them.
Not that I'd bet on Dallas. As someone said earlier, I think the most likely thing to stop Dallas, is Dallas. I don't think the Giants, Philly, Seattle or any other NFC team can match Dallas' talent. I hope they realize that talent this year.
theebs;2111329 said:HUH. Now I am a giants homer or a cowboys hater? Whatever.
And I am not going to sit here and do a breakdown of each player. No way. that is a big waste of time.
That team is just as talented as us at every key position and last year they showed their special teams were better. THey are a team I expect us to split with. With their improved play in the secondary and development of another Tight end and a young wr how can you not say they are not as talented.
The only place I think we stand out as better than them and it is clear is linebacker. Everywhere else these teams are equal.

Without that the Giants don't beat us or New England.
theebs;2111388 said:Hey everybody's opinion is equal and different.
I know this, the giants hit the quarterback more than anyone. They have an outstanding group of wr and te. They have a good group of rb. They have an above average offensive line. Eli Manning Has started for three seasons. In 2005 they went 11-5 and won the division. IN 2006 they were a wild card team after going 8-8. Last year they were a wild card team again and won the super bowl. Manning has made the playoffs all 3 years as a starter, he has won the division and the super bowl. That is not an accident.
Again I am the only one in here that feels this way but I think as I have thought since coughlin has been there that they are equally as talented. I am curious to see their group of linebackers this year and if their secondary plays at a high level all season. If it does they are going to be in the playoffs again and they will be very difficult to beat in the playoffs.
there is always the chance that they could fall on their face this season also, they have proven to be streaky and inconsistent. However they have also made the playoffs 3 years in a row and I personally dont see that streak ending this year. I would love to get them at the stadium again in january.

DallasDomination;2111468 said:You make some points. But even though they hit the Qb the most last year, their team in general and that defense was all over the place. Eli has yet to have an above average or average complete season. He is a 20-20 TD-INT ratio kind of guy. He got bailed out by the defense last year. Also when they played dallas, Their D-line for ther most part was tossed around like Srubs. We have a huge Oline and even though it broke up in the second half of that playoff loss, you cannot expect Dallas to lose to a team like that again.
theebs;2111472 said:Say what you want about eli. He is what he is. But he has gone to the playoffs in all 3 of his seasons as a starter. He has won the division and the super bowl. What else can he do.
