Good op...and thanks.

I think execution will be the pry bar for success. Early season are an adjustment...and that creates mistakes.

Mistakes have to be limited early on and this is a challenge for the Giant game. My dominant thoughts are that the defense will be difficult to handle and the offense will put up significant points.

I've watched every Giants preseason game. Their DL looks weak w/o JPP. They can't get pressure rushing 4. Saw little offense. No crispness. Our DL should test their OL.

Funny, the more I have watched the Giants, the more they remind me of the Cowboys when Jason first took over. Weak lines and poor discipline.

Seems like the giants have had their fair share of wins on the road here, but I believe our Boys have got this one. I think we start the season winning 3 of the first 4 games including the season kickoff versus the giants. If we win the first 2, I think we can win the first 4.

Sorry but the last two times everyone (media, fans, Giants fans) were down on the Giants, they ended up winning the Super Bowl. Philly doesn't scare me. They have a gimmick coach and a history of losing. But the Giants will always scare me. I just hope we get a win.

Where does this myth about the Giants come from and why does everybody keep repeating it? Every one has been down on the Giants the last 3 years and they haven't won a superbowl. And their 07 superbowl nobody was down on them. They don't have the pass rush they had their last two superbowl years. That team is devoid of talent and don't scare anybody

I'm don't want to say I'm looking past the Giants, but I just don't think they're very good. I think we don't have too much trouble beating them, but it's hard not to be concerned with this run game right now.

We are a better football team. They have been forced to shuffle their offensive line around this summer and will be starting a rookie at LT.

Their defensive line is a shell of what they were when they got a horseshoe up their hindend and went all the way. If Victor Cruz is out, I'd imagine they'll start Rueben Randle on the other side from Odell Beckham Jr. Of course they have Larry Donnell at tight end who had some flashes for them last year, but he is nothing that impressive.

I expect a win. We'll have to weather that no look, desperate flooky bomb that looks like a punt coming out of Eli's arm that they always seem to come down with against us when it's close. If we do that and get consistent pressure on Eli and continue to stick to the run like we did last year, I feel good about it.

Their oline should not have an answer for this DL even without hardy. I expect them to run early and often to keep the pass rush at bay. I expect a lot of quick hit stuff with double moves to come later by ODB.

They'll definitely go after Byron Jones wherever he is on the field. I can see them trying to pick on Claiborne as well. They'll take their shots because that's what they always do against us.

It's a struggle for them health wise and talent wise at the moment. That's the sense I get from their fans as well. We need to come out prepared, fired up and jump on them early.

Giants always play us hard. I expect an ugly game with a lot of mistakes. We'll be acting like fools in the game chat but we'll make it out alive.

it is the giants. it is eli. it is SNF. it is in dallas.

My prediction: A high scoring affair, with Eli looking like a football God, but we win in the end.....come week 2, Eli crashes back down to Earth, and looks barely human.

Dallas 38
NYG 30
