We've beaten that trash team 10 straight times with Dak under center.

Suit up Week 1, Saquon. Or sit out and lose money. Nobody in Dallas cares one way or another.
They’re no longer a trash team. Both our wins against them last season were one score wins. If Daniel Jones continues to improve, they’re going to be a challenge every time we face them.

Absolutely true. One can't pencil in wins against the Giants anymore. The NFC East is tougher now, with a very good Eagles team and an ascending Giants team.

1) Cooper Rush beat them on the road.

2) Maybe you don't remember the Thanksgiving game too well, but the Giants scored a TD with 8 seconds left to cut the final deficit to 8. We were up 28-13 before that.

3) Waiting on Daniel Jones to improve as a passer is like waiting on Ryan Tannehill to do the same.

Our defense was playing lights out when we beat them on the road with Cooper Rush. Our pass rush was like nothing I’ve seen in 30 years from the Cowboys. We sacked Daniel Jones five times in that game. However, he rushed for 79 yards. Just because the Cowboys beat them both times last season, you’re already marking down wins against them this season? I wouldn’t get too cocky about the Cowboys this season. They haven’t won crap in 30 years, while the Giants have two Super Bowl wins and they got past the Cowboys to win those championships. I wouldn’t be disrespecting the Giants. The arrows are pointing up on their QB while the arrows are pointing down on ours.

LOL! Sorry, this made me laugh.

Daniel Jones led the Giants to 16 and then 13 points (late garbagetime TD notwithstanding) against us.

Those games weren't some kind of weird anomaly for Jones or the Giants offense. They've consistently struggled to score for years now.

And who cares about Jones' rushing totals when it led to fewer than 20 points? He's a running QB who's the epitome of mediocre as a passer. Let him run!

Um, the Giants Super Bowl wins over a decade ago have absolutely nothing to do with their current team. What an odd thing to bring up. Can I flex our 5 rings vs their 4 rings while we're analyzing ancient history?
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

There's a reason we're favored to win on the road in Week 1. We're the better team with the better QB.

"Jones' arrow is pointing up"? Maybe because he was such garbage before 2022. He didn't even crack the top 15 in the NFL personnel QB poll. Dak was 9th (after being 10th last year).

If you can’t see that Jones and the Giants have improved then you better open your eyes and start watching the games more closely, or maybe you have your homer cap on too tight. You better start worrying about Joneses rushing totals because he’s going to end up beating us with his legs eventually. Go ahead and mark down wins for the Cowboys in July and see how that goes. Lol

Show me where I said they haven't improved.

Straw Man Argument because you know you got bodied.
:lmao2: :lmao2: :lmao2:

Nah bro, I'm not worrrying about Daniel Jones one bit. YOU worry about his rushing totals. I hope that keeps you up every night until Week 1.

LOL "eventually" he'll beat us with his legs????? I'd hope so, we're on the schedule twice/year.
:lmao2::lmao2::lmao2:

Okay, I'll mark down Week 1 as a win! Let's see how that goes! We'll see who winds up looking smart and who ends up looking foolish after that game, won't we?

It's honestly adorable that you're so scared of a team Dak's beaten 10 straight times.

And all because of DANIEL JONES?????

There are times when Daniel Jones looks like the next great QB. Then the next week, he looks like the worst. He's a puzzle.

You sound like a 12 year old, especially with all the emoticons. You’re a lesser version of CowboyRoy. Lol Done wasting my time with you.

Good luck to him on that one, he will stop seeing pay checks and will freak out and will make a deal reallll fast. The rb market is very highly replaceable right now.

If I'm Barkley I make my stand or I play. In other words, sign the tag and play, or sit out the year. He's got plenty of money. He can do either. Because lets face it, the Giants aren't doing crap without him. Make your stand, or fall in line.
Doesn't matter if he got plenty of money. These players are always wanting more. This guy didn't sign his multi million deal over a couple of million in the deal. Something likely will be worked out, but I am sure there is more pressure on him than the team right now.

The Giants might then line up Breida and Gray, still get their 90 ypg and let Saquan stew in his financial poophole.
RBs, from no names to celebrities, are finding out they (RBs) are a dime a dozen and bargaining ground is no longer a sure thing.

He was in a make or break year entering last season. I honestly thought he wouldn’t play that well and the Giants would be forced to move on, but despite all the pressure he was under he stepped up and had a good season. He’s an excellent runner and his passing numbers are starting to improve. His INT’s went way down. If he continues to develop he’s going to be a problem.

These RBs are getting mad.

They all want to get paid Iike they were 23. Derek Henry with his passive aggressive tweet: "Just eliminate RBs from football then."

If they just could accept that their market value was on par with, say, off ball linebackers or #3 WRs they would find much more peace.

They just need to realize they are worth what teams are willing to pay them.

For many of these RBs....it's the first time since they were 7 or 8 where they haven't been treated like kings due to their unique ability to hold a football and run real fast with it. For the 1st times in their lives....people are telling them "No".

I don't think Jones is all that much improved. I think he's always been what he is now, the situation around him stabilized.

I absolutely think he should have taken the deal. But we don't know how content he is with the money he already has. For all we know, he may not think the compensation is worth his services. Everybody has that choice.

I know the Giants don't want to give in to Barkley. But that team is going to suck without him. They need him to play.
