Bottle up Barkley and harass Jones and we should win this one. I just cannot be convinced that Jones is a good QB.

My biggest concern is that Rush can continue to play well enough to brings us wins.

No, I'm not a fan of the Giants. And I hate to be skeptical going in against a division rival. But the Giants are a good football team.

Their offense might be the best offense we've played all year and that's saying quite a bit considering we played Brady with a healthy Julio Jones in the opener. But I'm being serious. Overall, they're a good team. Their youth, power and ability to execute combines for a savvy offense. Daniel Jones is playing at a steadily high, nearly mistake-free level with 3 TDs to 1 INT. He's not a gunslinger, per se. But he can beat you.

On the other side of the ball, they're not quite as good as us. But they could pose problems. The Giants run a stout defense run by the former defensive coach in Baltimore.

He will likely try to create a lot of pressure, so I think that's likely why we are gearing up by giving Peters some reps. I am excited to finally see him play with the offense, along with the addition of Michael Gallup.

Overall, not to sound like a Vegas odds maker, but the game should be close. I'm going to say within 6 either way. Ultimately, as good as the Giants are, I'm looking for our offense find its spark with a few new players, a few new wrinkles as the catalyst. And I fear their luck may run out when we meet this Monday.

This is worthy of a one line response. Historically speaking, The Giants are the third worst 2-0 team since they began taking stats. They are really bad and really lucky.

If they win, they may actually one of the worst 3-0 teams in NFL history

This is the classic NFC East 13-10 game. I feel like we will bottle up Barkley and Jones all game. They are very well coached and won’t make many mental mistakes. They are also returning their two best pass rushers. If we can score 17+ I think we have no problem winning. But if the offense doesn’t score 17 we may end up losing on a big play or two. Barkley hopefully doesn’t grind the defense down like Tampa did and Jones isn’t able to scramble for big plays

Playing Tom Brady with all 3 wrs and Fournette OR Burrow and his wrs/rb combo there is absolutely NO WAY the Giants are the best offense we've faced all year.

I think the biggest thing will be keeping Jones in check on the ground. He's gonna steal some yards with his legs. We have to minimize that.

I know it's hard to picture the Giants giving us a tussle, especially considering the way we've handled them so handily in the recent past. They're improved enough offensively to seriously challenge us if we fail to bring our "A" game. We'll be lucky to contain Barkley as need be, with his health having improved enough to make him as dangerous as ever. Our defense will be challenged in this contest, if the evidence in the Giants' 1st two games is for real.

Nevertheless, their OL is vulnerable to a stout pass rush and that should help our cause considerably. I hope to see us beating them by three points or so, if we show up dutifully prepared for a tough contest. No more cakewalks in the NFC's Eastern Division. Keeping Jones harassed and containing Barkley should, hopefully, be a key ingredient for us to win. Let's also hope to see our OL enjoying an optimal performance with Jason Peters present. ;)

I watched them against Carolina and their offense didn't look that good.
Hey Captain, how true. Not to be a naysayer but our O doesn't look that good either. Our D was the difference and also the last but not least drive by the offense.

If we don't stop the Giants RB, we will most likely lose this one. I don't believe we will win more than 3 games with Dak out. I truly hope I am dead wrong but I just don't see our O doing that much with Rush at the helm. I was surprised they beat Cincy and hopefully will be surprised again if they beat the giants. If we can get some turnovers, that might be the difference.

Zeke will have his first 100 yd game of the season. Pollard might reach 100. Rush will manage a good game. Having said that, it all depends on Moore not trying to force the ball to the receivers. The Oline will dominate their Dline; early bedtime for me.

Micah, might try to do too much with LT being in attendance. But the defense will do their job in stopping the juggernaut of Barkley and Jones. Dallas prevails and receives nothing but hate because the Eagles are the NFL champs this year.

I don't know how good they are, but they definitely seem to have improved at head coach. Daniel Jones will never be Josh Allen, but Daboll will get more out of him than Judge ever did. He'll put him in better positions to succeed.

Cowboys need to make them put together long drives. No short fields from turnovers, etc., and don't let Barkley bust one. Make them have to execute 10-12 plays to score.

They are improved for sure. LT is a stud, defense is playing great. Their two best pass rushers return tonight.

They are very well coached and aggressive. I like what Daboll has done

Dallas has shown that it's defense can hang with the very top producers from last season. That puts a game winable at about 19-20 points by it's offense.

The Giants defense may be pushed to put up enough to limit the Cowboys to that same arena.

I have to stay with the Cowboys on this one.

The Giants defense has faced Ryan Tannehill and Baker Mayfield. The Cowboys defense has faced Tom Brady and Joe Burrow.

It's super early to make assumptions, even after tonight, but give the defensive edge to Dallas based on this small sample size.

Their offense is a lot like ours right now. What scares me most about the Giants is their underrated defense.

It's not the same defense as last year, and Kayvon Thibodeaux will be playing tonight, which should make them even better.

I think it comes down to penalties and turnovers.

Of course, we need to score points. To do that, we obviously need to lean on our run game.

Playing Tom Brady with all 3 wrs and Fournette OR Burrow and his wrs/rb combo there is absolutely NO WAY the Giants are the best offense we've faced all year.

They are, though, because Jones is more mobile than Brady. I'm not saying they're more productive than Brady. But they don't like to turn it over. And the way they play could give our specific defense problems. I'm more worried about Jones running than Barkley.

As bad as we think we are, sorry Cowboys doubters, we will beat the paper tigers tonight.
Parsons will blow his nose on Danny Dimes shoulder all night tonight.
Sometimes a game comes down to just who is the best player on the field.
Parsons will again prove this theory correct tonight.
Enjoy this victory my Cowboys faithful.

they played great TWO STRAIGHT WEEKS..
so again, you are wiping egg off your face talking those 2 games down when if you watched you can see a dominate D ..look at who we played and the exact situations. how about we play all 17 and you will see maybe they do carry us further, ill take 2nd round playoff berth given the way this year started and no dak for 4-5 games. that would be incredible...
Didn't you tell me about two weeks ago that... our defense didn't do enough against the Bucs last year because we loss? Implying that a losing effort is never enough!
