-On paper the Cowboys should win this week and win handedly as the Giants will be missing several key starters including their QB and best defensive player in Williams. However, the Cowboys cannot just show up and expect to win like they did against Denver, Giants would like nothing more then to beat the Cowboys.

-Mike Glennon is a statue in the pocket and isn't a threat to run like Daniel Jones was, but he is more seasoned and will make quicker decisions. I have heard here that the Giants want to give a few snaps to Jake Fromm the former Georgia QB.

-Giants have a good group of skilled players, but haven't had much time to work with their backup QB. Although he isn't as explosive, cannot allow Barkley to become a game wrecker. The Giants are going to scheme ways to get him out in space, must Gang tackle and don't give up the big play.

-Their OL is below average, especially within the interior. Hernandez, Price are matchups to exploit.

-Defensively, without Leonard Williams and Blake Martinez, this could be a good recipe to get our run game going. They just don't have any difference makers within their front 7. Ojuari the rookie from Georgia is perhaps the one pass rusher that do have.

-Giants like to play a lot of soft zone coverage and they do have some good players in the back end. McKinney has emerged as a legit ball hawk at the safety position, Bradberry, although having a poor season is an above average corner.

-A team playing out the string and hurt in many areas needs to be put away early on, don't give them any early confidence. Get out to a 7-10 point lead and these type of teams will call it quits.
 
We can only beat ourselves this week. Keep the mistakes to a minimum and we win easily. However, it's easier said than done.

This is a good game to make adjustments on offense and get rolling again.
 
That one must not underestimate any opponent in the NFL should be a matter of course.

As far as the Giants go, they really are a bad team, not even mediocre. So despite our offensive struggles, this must be a win.

Sorry, but any modesty is simply not appropriate if we are a SB contender.

I don't need a blow out either, just a clean game from Dak and the offense. Two TDs, no turnovers and no WR drops would be enough in my books. Zuerlein did his job in Washington, so add a couple of FGs and we're all set. Our D won't let anything happen.
 
I think this is the game we’re instinct come in to play . This is the game we go back to dictating who we are and not what they giving us. No I think we destroy them
 
I absolutely believe never underestimate your opponent. However, I also believe in self-awareness. Know your limitation but also acknowledge your strength. Competition demands you end your opponent's asperation as quickly as possible. Don't toy with these guys. The halftime score should be 100-0 and the giants should refuse to come out for the second half.
 
it's going to be windy there on Sunday, upwards to 20 mph winds at times. SO it would be great if Dallas can suddenly find a running game.
 
I don’t respect them at all. They’re done.

Lawrence & Parsons should have a dominate game.

Giants QB should be handing out INTs this week. I’d like to see Parsons get a pick 6.
 
My biggest concern is they will let Fromm play. We don’t have the film and won’t be prepared for him.

He comes in and starts slinging in the second half and we have a game.

All accurate and the overall sentiment is true.

I'm just not at all that worried about the outcome as much as the injury bug.....or the other bug, neither of which we seem to be able to shake.

Every week it's something new.

Two additions if I may........

-I would NOT suit up Pollard for this game.

-Ojulari vs whoever we stick at LT could end our season on one snap. I'll be watching that one nervously.
 
The Giants suck.

This is a game where the offense needs to start showing some of that rhythm and continuity they had to start the year.

Agreed. I see us handing out a Falcons-esque beatdown and this is the game that helps Dak get his confidence back.
 
Win this game and one of either Wash or Philly will be officially eliminated from the division race. The survivor will still have to play us and replay the other again also.
 
This is the NFL you sleep on a team you could find yourself on the losing end. No way should Miami beat the Ravens but they did. Washington taking down Tampa Bay? NY has issues and knows their season is over, Cowboys need to jump on them and take any fight they have left away from them. I want Giant players thinking about Christmas instead of the Cowboys and you do that by getting them down early in the game. Let them hang around and the competitor comes out in players when they see a chance to win.
