Giants are scared

Don't think they are scared...
If we give Eli time and have issues sticking with their receivers we could be in for a long night or at the very least it coming down to who has the ball last. As cruddy as they looked today I expect them to bring their A game

Need more than their A game. More like their A++++++ game if that exists. Getting Wilcox and Durant back for this game will only help our depth. Plus, Scandrick should be more healed up than what he was dealing with playing hurt.

It's a December division game on their field. As much as I would love to believe their angst is opponent-specific, wins for them are precious and it's getting late.

I don't know about 'scared,' but I think that Giant team has been trying to talk themselves into the idea that this is going to be like 2007 all over again. And I today ought to have been a reminder to them that they don't have that 2007 team.

It's also true that this Cowboys squad might be better than our 2007 squad.

This is the best Dallas team since 1995. It might wind up as the best Dallas offense of all time.

I expect a closely competitive game vs. New York. They seem to match up well against us and vice-versa anytime we're playing them. Of course, being division rivals that know one another so well tends to hold the surprises to a minimum. Here's hoping we'll want it just as badly as they do, even though they're sure to be desperate by now. I think they'll discover that Dak and Zeke have progressed greatly since the first game of the season when they won by such a narrow margin. I'd like nothing better than to humble them via winning by a lopsided score.

Well i'll say this about both teams. Both teams are better than they were in week 1. Dallas offense is far better now than it was then and their defense is far better than it was then. Our defense vs their offense will be the story of the game.

I think the Giants are a team trying to figure out who they are, especially on offense. That's what I got out of the Odell video. Their offense is in a state of flux at the moment.

The bottom line is that their defense was good enough to hold us to 3s instead of 7s in the first game but they are not good enough to do it this game, unless we stop ourselves. I don't care if their D is better or not, because our O is much much better. The Giants D cant stop us unless we stop ourselves. Minny's D didnt stop us, we stopped ourselves.

I'd say our d is better now too than the week 1 team. With Wilcox, Durant back (for this game), only 1 missing now is Claiborne. Our secondary is the healthiest it has been in awhile.

Be careful with that.
The Giants got red hot in the last few games in the regular season that year.

I remember Eli throwing 4-5 picks against the Vikings in late November.
That caused Coughlin to put Eli on a leash and rely on the defense and the running game.
Eli gained back his confidence during that stretch and they went on to beat us in the playoffs and go to the Bowl and upset the 16-0 Pats.

This Giants team could EASILY do that. The pieces are there.
We have to play our A game and be focused.

The Giants running game isn't there. Their OL is a mess. And their d isn't on the level of that Giant team.

I know. LOL @ people who think this is 10 years ago. These are two completely different teams.
