Game prediction?

Don't like the matchup on the Cowboys offensive line and limited reps they've received this training camp because of injuries...I think it comes down to Dallas patchwork offensive line against the Giants best front four pass rush in the game. pass rush makes a secondary, not the secondary makes the pass rush, Giants have that right, Dallas has that wrong....I expect Romo to take a pounding tonight.....Costa will be a speed bump!!

Giants - 32
Dallas - 23

lol.. I love your optimism and really hope you're right.

:eek::

So am I......

I honestly feel Romo has a great game....

I also feel maybe the D wont beast mode Eli, but will let it be known, this is no cake walk.
 
Cowboys - 27

Giants - 16

The offensive line isn't as bad as many thought or feared and the Cowboys' defense, not the Giants', is the story of the game.

How many touchdowns did Dallas' starting defense give up this preseason?

Nobody seems to remember the answer to this one.
 
I'll be at the game! I'm an Central NY'er that loves the Cowboys and this will be my first trip down to MetLife. I am 3-0 watching the Cowboys live and shooting for 4-0.

Prediction:

DAL 23
NYG 21

Tynes misses a 40+ yarder with 10 seconds left in the game.

Ware: 2 sacks
Bryant: 5 catches 90 yds 1 TD
Austin: 4 catches 75 yds 1 TD
Murray: 22 carries 85 yds
Romo: 215 yds 2 TD (1 INT)
 
Giants 20-17

I like where this team is heading, but Super Bowl teams have a great history of winning season openers, and the Giants specifically have a recent history of beating us. Count me among those who are optimistic about this team's future, but want the Cowboys to SHOW ME! that they can win big games like this. :)
 
Of course I want us to win, but we won't. Not having Ratliff and Witten will hurt us.

Giants 27

Cowboys 17
 
If I was picking for money I'd probably take the Giants. But I'm not so I'm going to say Cowboys win and Dez has a big night.
 
One other thing. I'm worried about the Giants pass rush tonight. So should you guys.

We're going to have our hands full. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.
 
24-20 Giants late when Romo fumbles on a blind side hit trying to drive down for the win.....27-20 final.

You know, it's not like we don't have servicable players backing Witten and Ratliff up. Furthermore, Ratliff has been part of the problem against the Giants, not the solution. Witten is a great chain mover, but we have plenty of weapons on offense that can move the chains. Seriously, if the Cowboys lose, I'd sooner blame missing Mike Jenkins then those two.
 
I've been watching the media all morning saying that the Giants pass rush is going to rough up Romo, that they're going to sack Romo like they did last year...that nothing has changed. One of these so called 'experts' actually had the nuts to say that our offensive line is worse than last year. This is why I normally don't watch any football analysis on tv anymore. These people have no idea what they're talking about.

They're right about one thing, though. The Cowboys offensive line is the key to the game, but not like they think. Oh sure, Romo is going to take his shots. Against that crippled secondary, they'd be crazy not to. But I don't think that will be the main point of attack against the Giants. I think it's going to be Murray. I think the Cowboys are going to run the ball a lot against a team that ranked in the bottom third in run defense last year in an attempt to slow down the pass rush...and when the opportunity presents, throw it deep.

There's also been a lot of talk about the 'elite' Eli Manning, the awesomeness of his two receivers, and lots of hype about their rookie RB. But what nobody on tv is talking about is that the Giants have issues of their own on the offensive line. It's all about how poor the Cowboys line is. Yet it's the Giants who are starting Sean Locklear against Ware. I'm sure they'll give him help, and that's fine, but that help won't come without cost. Anytime you have to cover up a player's weakness like that, it only makes you that much weaker elsewhere.

I don't have a score for you...but I will say this, the Giants will have their hands full trying to stop our offense. A healthy Austin and Bryant against what they're throwing out there in the secondary? I'm lauging my *** off. And if the Giants and their ignorant fans think that this is the same Cowboys team that they shelled in the finale last season, they are in for a very rude awakening...

I think everyone forgets that the Giants didn't see extended playing time against Demarco Murray last year...he got hurt in the first part of the first meeting of the year and was placed on IR. I don't think Giants fans understand the bullet they dodged by that fact.
