Interesting Giants Stat Guys, they're slow in first half!

Hey guys, I found this on a posted message on gyphon. It is showing where in the first 5 games or so that the New York Giants have played, they are slow starting in their games first half. Maybe we need to jump out on them like we did in the first game against Phily last year.
Any replies welcome or to let the Cowboys-Parcells know, I am sure they have seen the stats but you never know.
They Eat Their Wheaties At the Half

Strange stat of the day: The Giants have only two touchdowns and 29 total points in the first halves of their five games, a 5.8 average. They have 13 TDs, 98 total points and a 19.6 average in the second half. Manning is a sleepy starter, with only two of his eleven TD passes coming in the opening two quarters of games. Some of those stats are garbage padding, coming against a Seattle prevent in a blowout loss. Others have been gold. The comeback versus Philadelphia showed grit and last week the Giants knocked Atlanta out by scoring 24 points on four consecutive second half drives.

Their divisional matchups have followed familiar templates. They?ve played shootouts with the Eagles and had another in September. They?ve handled the Commanders in The Meadowlands recently and did it again two weeks ago. Tom Coughlin and Bill Parcells have no secrets between them.

Something tells me this game will be tied after 59 minutes.

How many times do the Giants rush in the first half compared to the second ?

 

[cowboyjoe]

Sorry, dont know how to find that, but maybe thats a weakness the Giants have, their slow starters in first half, and we need to attack them in 1st half.

 

[SkinsandTerps]

Attack in the first and they will unload in the second. Be careful what you wish for.

Giants have been playing a very conservative game in the first half from all that I have seen. Trying to control the clock/game with short passes and runs for the most part, unless they are faced with 3rd and long.

Hold on, hold on. Are you saying you want the Cowboys to score points against the giants in the first half? That just might work.

I don't know, I think we don't want to score points in the first half. See what happened to the eagles. :

We want to score points wherever we can get them because the Giants juggernaut will be rolling on all cylinders when they come to town. I would like to see a "consistent" Dallas team that plays equally well for 60 minutes. If the team that showed up to play the Texans and took the first half off shows up this week you're looking at 3-3.
