Which is why I was rooting for the skins yesterday. We get to play them 2x at full strength (hopefully) which will probably eliminate them from any contention they might been in. The Giants, on the other hand, have an annoying tendency to finish strong. Would have been great for them to be 0-3 today.

The Giants are not and will not be a threat. They're bad in the trenches.

They have no pass defense but they play fairly well against the run. The quick passing game they use will mitigate their OL and they have averaged more per rush through two games than we have. I don't put much stock in what happens during the first 2-3 games, but I thought before the season that the Giants would be a lot tougher than Philadelphia. I haven't seen anything thus far to change my mind.

I hate the Giants. I'm sick of hearing about Beckham. I hope they lose every game they play, except two (Skins). Unfortunately, I think they are going to win a bunch of shootouts in 2015.

I understand it. You just can't pick the Cowboys right now. You just can't. As a fan I have faith in them but its insane to. Its easy to look over a team who is starting Brandon Weeden, Joseph Randle, Gavin Escobar and Terrence Williams. I have faith in these guys but its blind faith. So then you go to the Deadskins who's coming off one of their worst games in recent memory and the Eagirls who are possibly coming off their worst game ever. Giants.......they should be 3-0 right now. Bad teams find ways to lose but they've probably played the second best behind the Cowboys in this division.

Yeah, it's really unfortunate that they "let", let mind you, Romo drive the Cowboys down the field (without Dez Bryant) in about a minute and a half, with no timeouts, to score the game winning touchdown. People keep saying they should be 3-0. No, they "could" have been, but they lost to their opponent. To put it simply, they got beat!

It's week 3. Everyone is still in the race. Especially with our injuries. It's a legitimate point.

Not sure why Cowboys fans always feel slighted.

If they have to continue with the quick passing game, it might hide their OL deficiencies some, but it will also limit their deep passing game, which is one their relative strengths...ODB will have fewer deep opportunities.

My point was they have played good enough to be 3-0. They simply have had poor clock management in all of their losses and even their one win. If they can correct that they will get some wins. I don't know how good or bad they are but I do know they have showed enough to be atleast a 8 or 9 win team.

If we had Romo and Dez all year we would win the division by at least 3 games.

I agree. If we didn't have as many penalties as we have had, I think we would have won both games in blowouts. The NFC East is very weak. The Giants and Eagles aren't good teams. Their only chance is if we implode.
