Anyone worried the Giants get up big time for the game to play spoiler? Right now not sure they are 100% dejected and have quit on the season but could be close. If the Cowboys pound the rock and physically dominate them all four quarters they could be done for the season.

However I'm not sure they are ready to pack it in because they have a chance to emotionally rebound against Dallas. Beckham Jr. will be an issue. Their DL could still present a problem. Will Eli regroup after throwing 5 INTs and be more focused this week?

Anyway what are your concerns?

Eli is really running with patched together OLine, think of what happened to our Dline last year it happened to his Oline this year, they just lost Pugh.

They are unpredictable and that is a concern.

We watched the putrid Commanders beat the Cowboys at home so a downtrodden Giants team is just as formidable in the right environment.

Eli always plays well against the Cowboys. I always hope that he implodes like he did last week, but he never does. And his WR's are pretty good too.
That's my biggest worry.

Weather looks like it should be ok, 61 and sunny they are calling for right now.

Thats my biggest worry when we go up there.

Second biggest worry is that we sleep on this team. We can't over look a team like we did with the Commanders on Monday night. We're a good team, but not that good.

Thats about it, if we go up there, don't turn it over, run the ball, and play ok D we should get a 7-10 point win.

They can still get big plays in the passing game with Randle and Beckham. If they connect on a couple of those early, it could spell trouble.

It's the NFL... and a division rival on the road. They are still pro's with pride with enough talent to get hot and a few bounces. Outside of that, if we're going anywhere we should handle business.

That we continue this trend of under-using Murray. We've got a healthy line now, there is no excuse for him to have under 23 carries every game. Play December smashmouth football now and let these OLinemen continue to snatch the hearts from our opponents. We do that and we give ourselves a chance to win each of o;ur last 6 games.

Sack Sh-Eli and take the 1 or 2 he gives you and we should be okay.

1. Murray fumbling.

2. Something happening to Romo. Weeden could lose the game even if he only takes 1 snap.

Beckham can be a handful!! I bet they will be slinging it deep and often. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see them approach us this way.

We need to be aggressive in sending him some blitzes early in hopes of creating enough pressure to disrupt Eli's timing.

Probably not going to see the same defense schematically we saw in our first meeting. Their DCoordinator is not one to blitz a lot, but anything is possible given where that team is now. Maybe it's something as simple in how their DL sets in tight similar to what Arizona did to keep our interior OL from reaching the 2nd level.

Offensively I'd double ODB and make sure he doesn't kill us. He's already a great WR.

Concerns:

Offense- Ayers is getting to the backfield with ease and being disruptive. Need to contain him and JPP. On top of that We need to wear Hankins down early so we can have 4th qtr success to run out the clock.

Defense- Beckham! We need to slide a safety over and have our CB follow underneath to prevent any curls or out routes. Bump him every play!! In the red zone Donnell can pose a problem with his size and Eli does a good job spotting his big targets in the EZ. I'd bump him off the line just to disrupt their timing.

Eli needs to be pressured early so we can set a tone. Just because he threw 5 picks last week doesn't mean it can't happen if we create enough pressure on top of bumping receivers. Once the play design and timing goes off course Eli follows suit.

I don't think we're at the point where we shouldn't be concerned about anyone we play, especially an East opponent. We've already seen what can happen against lowly Washington and its third-string QB.
