New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys (1 Viewer)

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Heading into this season, there was hype about so many different topics. One of the thoughts of most experts was that the New York Giants would not be a very good football team this season. That after losing Tiki Barber to retirement and Strahan possibly following his footsteps, that this team would crack under the pressure of playing in our nation's largest city. I specifically remember hearing on ESPN on multiple programs that even IF Eli Manning were to play well this year, the Giants would be bad. That basically, Eli Manning is in a no win situation because if he plays well, they lose, if he plays poorly they lose.

So, believing that they won't be a very good football team this season, even though the Dallas/Giants games are always energetic and high intensity, I was looking forward to seeing Dallas win going away. That hopefully Dallas had improved from last year and give us fans a flicker of hope that they may make a run at the division and possibly a Super Bowl performance.

Well, enter Week 1 Dallas vs. Giants. I don't think I missed a snap in that football game so I feel I have a pretty good handle on that game. Dallas looked extremely good on offense. I remember seeing some passes by Romo that made me think that Romo has definately put behind him any hangover he had from that botched snap vs. Seattle last year, which was a topic of conversation heading into week 1, how would Romo handle that.

But what sticks out most in that game for me was the ability of the Giants to score. Plaxico Buress was basically unstoppable and I was also impressed at their running game.

If you watched that game, basically either team couldn't stop the other.

The final dagger in the Giants heart was when Hurd caught around a 50 yard TD pass when Dallas was only up by 3 points on what was an absolute perfect pass by Romo to go up 45-35.

However, after that game people figured Dallas had NO defense. That since the Giants were labeled as "NOT VERY GOOD" heading into that game, Dallas was really nothing more than a team with a good offense but a very shakey defense.

I've thought of this several times since that game, but little did we know during the Week 1 night that these two teams may be the best in the NFC. I'm not trying to stir up Packers fans and they will have their chance to beat Dallas etc.... but I don't think anyone realized that night what we were witnessing are two of the elite teams in the NFC.

As impressed as I've been by the Dallas Cowboys, I've been extremely impressed by the resilience of the Giants and the mental toughness and leadership shown by Eli Manning. I am NOT a Tom Coughlin fan but I am a TEAM GUY. I didn't like Tiki Barber coming out and saying those things about Coughlin and I give that coach credit for coaching in just about the toughest environment you can coach in and overcoming all that adversity.

I think the Dallas vs. Giants came in New York is going to be an extremely good game. I think you're going to see some big plays and a game that won't be decided until late in the 4th quarter. Of course I want Dallas to win but for me it's games like these where the division is on the line, possible home field advantage, as well as a great rivalry that make it so fun to watch as a fan.

Huge game for the Cowboys, probably even a little bigger for the Giants.

One thing to note about the first game is that Osi and Jacobs were injured within the first 2 series of the game. Not sure what kind of impact they would of had though.

I'm pumped for this Sunday. I can't wait.

One thing I fear from the Cowboys is that they have a very stout O-Line.

Nearly all of the Giants best players got hurt in week 1 and they still hung with DAL. Both teams are very good so I give the edge to NY since they are playing at home.

Dallas was without Ellis and Newman also. First game of the year. guys not quite in game shape yet. Lots of that stuff.Both teams, and defenses have improved alot since then. It will be a great game, but I expect alot less scoring this time around.

This is a game that has been circled on my calendar for some time now. After the first two losses, all that seemed to be on my networks was how bad the giants were. Well those people obviously dont realize who the Giants were. Tiki was great, yes I know, man love in NY for TB, but he was replaceable, hell, even Derrick Ward came in and drew some comparisons. This game is going to rely solely on the Defense and I really would be SHOCKED to see 45-35 again. The Giants main focus is to contain Romo in the pocket and cut down on the RAC yards. I think their run defense is good enough where they should be able to contain Barber and Jones, limiting thier damage. Dallas is going to do everything they can to stop Plax and I can really see Jacobs and Toomer having real solid games. I think this is the best game of the week(homerism, i know) and I have to give the edge to the Giants obviously. Coming off a bye, playing at home, for a share of the division lead. What more motivation do you need if you are big blue? They have to show up and be agressive, and they will have to win a very close game. Tynes will need to be consistent

It's an NFC East Weekend on Fox. Philly @ Washington is Fox's main game at 1 and then Dallas @ NY is the nationally televised game at 4:15.

Hopefully Washington can put Philly out of the picture and NY can win and create a nice, tight race the rest of the way.

 

[KellysHeroes]

I like the Giants this week....

 

[FakeAudible]

Tank Johnson is back for Dallas, and their defense has already been looking pretty good. The Giants looked pretty awful against Miami and I don't think you can just say Jet Lag. Dallas had a huge game against Philly, so I think there is a lot of Cowboy momentum going in to the game.

 

[DaWidowMaker]

A couple things I don't think Cowboys fans should be concerned about regarding this game:

1) Brandon Jacobs has never had a good game vs the Boy's and I don't think he is elusive enough to excel against the Cowboys run defense.

2) Newman didn't play the 1st game...this time Newman and Henry are playing and Newman will be on Plaxico when he goes to the slot on 3rd down = lock down.

Now with the Cowboys defense at relatively full strength, this game will really show what Eli Manning can do especially with the crowd behind him. Looking forward to a good game that can pretty much lock the division title up for Dallas.

Well it sounds to me like you think it's a no brainer that the Giants will win the battle up front. I'm not so sure about that. Dallas' O-line seems to be getting better and better every week. We will see.

 

[Construction Man Jim]

1) Brandon Jacobs has never had a good game vs the Boy's and I don't think he is elusive enough to excel against the Cowboys run defense.

In 4 games against Dallas behind Tiki, serving primarily as the short yardage & goal-line specialist, he had 18 carries for 73 yards rushing (4.05 ypc), 2 rushing TDs and 2 receptions for 52 yards. (He also lost a fumble in his first game against them his rookie year). In one quarter this year as the starter he had 6 carries for 26 yards.In total that's 151 yards and 2 TDs on 26 touches. He made major contributions in both Giant wins and the close loss last year.Considering all that, where do you get "Jacobs has never had a good game vs the Boy's"...?

 

[Gopher State]

This will be a great game, I look for a big week from Toomer and Witten, last team with the ball wins, I don't care if it's the Boy's or G-Men as long as no one gets hurt, and lots of scoring

 

[BustedKnuckles]

WR Plaxico Burress doesn't practice all week (sprained ankle) but plays on game day. This time it's different. "He's usually sore after a game and needs a few days for the swelling to go down," Coughlin said. "But he didn't play this week. Maybe we can work in a few practice sessions. We'll have to wait and see if the doctors allow that." Burress went to North Carolina a month ago to have his ankle examined by the noted Dr. Robert Anderson, who prescribed total rest — or as much as would be possible.

Dallas did not have Terrance Newman, Greg Ellis or Tank Johnson in that week one game. They are a ton better on defense then there were week 1. I respect the Giants and know it will be a close game cause most NFC east games are. Dallas is the better team and should win.

 

[netnalp]

Cowboys will win, everyone in the NFC besides them are just pretenders. Deal with it cowboy haters.

The boys barely won against the Bills and Bears, they could easily be a pretender. I don't see Dallas handling the Giants pass rush.

 

[Bri]

The Giants didn't use their 4 DE set that week. It's all about those 4

That is laughable what was the final score of that Bear game 34-10. I guess you turned that game off at Halftime, LOL .I will give you they barely beat the Bills but look at how the Bills have been playing (3-0 sense the Dallas loss) and I want to see any other team that turns the ball over six times on the road and still wins on Monday night. Dallas out gained them 380 to 230 in total yards and 24-14 in first downs. That was just one of them games, you never play 16 good games but the good teams win the games they play bad. Nobody gets to 7-1 and is a pretender. That is just a careless statement. (being very nice there)

Alright was wrong about the bears game, not sure why I thought that one was close. Ditto, to you when it comes to saying Packers are pretenders.

Did I say the Packers are pretenders, don't think so? Although I was skeptical of them with the last 2 weeks @Denver and @ KC I have seen they are better then I thought they were. They are for real.

[simmonjm]

Its funny all the credit that goes to the Giants defense and yet the Cowboys are producing at a very similar rate, the Giants have 7 more sacks and that is including the 11 sack performance versuses the Eagles. Greg Ellis has 5 sacks in 5 games and Ware has 7 Osi and Strahan combined have 11. The spin that gets puts on the Cowboys wins is unreal. Prior to the Philly game everyone was predicting Philly to win but yet the Cowboys dominated all phases of the game and now the only news out of Philly is how bad they suck and its time to start Kolb when just a couple of days before the Eagles are a team on the rise. People are quick to point out the Buffalo but yet Buffalo is a respectable 4-4 and could easily be 6-2 but since Dallas beat them they are no good.

To the OP could you please the title of this thread to NY Giants get punched in the mouth by the Cowboys. TIA

 

[= Ice Man =]

The Cowboys had Terry Glenn, Tank Johnson, Terrance Newman and Greg Ellis out of the game. Plus, Jason Ferguson left the game in the 1st quarter w/ an injured elbow, which forced him to IR. That's 5 starters! Advantage Cowboys!

It seems no matter what it is always another team that is better in the eys of the haters. After this week it will probably be Green Bay then the Saints lol.

 

[timschochet]

On a fantasy note, I've got Owens and Jacobs in this game. Everyone think they'll do well here? What about other guys? (Romo, Barber, Crayton, Witten, Eli, Burress, Shockley) Who's going to have a big day? (And who won't?)

I'd start all the normal starters. I expect a high scoring game and everyone in the lineup will have a chance to get some points. There's no gaurantees but why wouldn't Owens have a solid game or Jason W.?Dallas will try to slow down the Giant receivers but they'll score. Eli amd Romo are both worth starting and I'd start the Giant starting RB as well as MBIII.If you're desperate or looking for a flex spot, Julius Jones has to be considered.

 

[DaWidowMaker]

1) Brandon Jacobs has never had a good game vs the Boy's and I don't think he is elusive enough to excel against the Cowboys run defense.

In 4 games against Dallas behind Tiki, serving primarily as the short yardage & goal-line specialist, he had 18 carries for 73 yards rushing (4.05 ypc), 2 rushing TDs and 2 receptions for 52 yards. (He also lost a fumble in his first game against them his rookie year). In one quarter this year as the starter he had 6 carries for 26 yards.In total that's 151 yards and 2 TDs on 26 touches. He made major contributions in both Giant wins and the close loss last year.

Considering all that, where do you get "Jacobs has never had a good game vs the Boy's"...?

I will repeat, Jacobs has never had a good game vs the Cowboys..lets take a look at the last 5 games he's played against Dallas shall we?6 carries 26 yards

5 carries 29 yards

10 carries 40 yards 1 TD

1 carry 2 yards

2 carry 2 yards

Sure if you add them altogether it would equal a great game lol, but guess what? He still hasn't had a good game against the Cowboys which is my point. Considering all that, where do you see that Brandon Jacobs has had a good game vs the 'Boys? Please enlighten me and take off your NY Giant goggles while your at it.

 

[Calvitron Johnson]

Can't see a repeat performance by Eli in this one. NYG defense much better too.

He has averaged over 4 ypc carry against the Cowboys.....how in the hell is that not good? So if they stats are correct and true, he should get 30 for 120 this weekend. Ill take that out of our HORSE

 

[Dodge]

Jacobs has not played a full game against Dallas yet. I am curious to see how he runs in the 4th qtr.

I don't think Tank Johnson can be a huge factor. When was the last time he played meaningful football? He's not in game shape.

 

[Hook Em']

I am a Jacobs and TO owner, and a Dallas fan. I actually see Jacobs having a pretty good day as the Dal DEF HAS TO AT LEAST TRY TO STOP THE PASS. If we get in a pissing match through the air this time around, I think NY will come out on top.

I will tell you this though; I think Romo is one of the lower teir QB's in the league throwing from the pocket, however, he is one of the best, if not the best at throwing on the run. So, the fact that NY brings the heat on every down will actually play to Romo's advantage to a certain degree because he will be forced to roll out and avoid the rush. What do ya'll think?

Just keep repeating yourself and disregarding the fact that Tiki was playing for the Giants the past two years.

Man you Giant homers are funny. Dallas is only allowing 84.4 yards rushing yards per game with no RB going over 100 yards. They stopped Ronnie Brown and ADP. But yet an injury prone back who seems to get dinged up after 1 carry is going to carry the rock for 30 times and put up 120 yards. And lets be honest Giants fans Eli played his best game of the season against Dallas in Week 1 and the Giants still lost by 10 points seems to me that its asking alot for him to play better then he has all year in order for the Giants to win this game.

Man you Giant homers are funny. Dallas is only allowing 84.4 yards rushing yards per game with no RB going over 100 yards. They stopped Ronnie Brown and ADP. But yet an injury prone back who seems to get dinged up after 1 carry is going to carry the rock for 30 times and put up 120 yards.

And lets be honest Giants fans Eli played his best game of the season against Dallas in Week 1 and the Giants still lost by 10 points seems to me that its asking alot for him to play better then he has all year in order for the Giants to win this game.

That's all well and good but our back up put up 13 for 89 on your Boys in 3 quarters.

Nope it is Tom Brady. I lost a bet during the Pats and Cowboys game and had to change my avatar until the Pats lose or the season ends

I thought it was Ryan Seacrest...

It also seems imprudent to ignore the fact that Tiki and Jacobs combined for 119 yards on the ground and 105 through the air against Dallas last year at Giants Stadium.

And that was behind a vastly inferior O-line.

Unless turnovers or special teams play allow either team to build a big lead early, I see both defenses struggling to contain the opposition's offense. I would expect 50+ points in this game.

So what everyone is saying is the Giants won't get 12 sacks like against the Eagles?

Dont really think you can use last years results as that was a Bill Parcells 3-4 defense and this year its a Wade Phillips 3-4 defense. The only similarities between the two is the 3-4 formation. I would agree that 50+ points will be scored but the score will most likely be 34-17 in favor of the Boys.

1) Brandon Jacobs has never had a good game vs the Boy's and I don't think he is elusive enough to excel against the Cowboys run defense.

In 4 games against Dallas behind Tiki, serving primarily as the short yardage & goal-line specialist, he had 18 carries for 73 yards rushing (4.05 ypc), 2 rushing TDs and 2 receptions for 52 yards. (He also lost a fumble in his first game against them his rookie year). In one quarter this year as the starter he had 6 carries for 26 yards.In total that's 151 yards and 2 TDs on 26 touches. He made major contributions in both Giant wins and the close loss last year.

Considering all that, where do you get "Jacobs has never had a good game vs the Boy's"...?

I will repeat, Jacobs has never had a good game vs the Cowboys..lets take a look at the last 5 games he's played against Dallas shall we?6 carries 26 yards

5 carries 29 yards

10 carries 40 yards 1 TD

1 carry 2 yards

2 carry 2 yards

Sure if you add them altogether it would equal a great game lol, but guess what? He still hasn't had a good game against the Cowboys which is my point. Considering all that, where do you see that Brandon Jacobs has had a good game vs the 'Boys? Please enlighten me and take off your NY Giant goggles while your at it.

That's pretty funny. Nice "play on words" by you.I guess you could have said that Adrian Peterson has never had a good game against the Chargers going into last week.

And you would've been right!

Becasue he'd never played a game agianst them!

Just like Jacobs has never had more than 10 carries against the 'Boys.

Jacobs will roll for over 100 in this game. Just like he's averaged over the last 4.

Don't Hate on Jacobs. He's 5th in the NFL in rushing yards per game, and that includes his 26 yard opener. He was the NFC Player of the Month in October.

Eli Manning Giants vs. Cowboys: Eli has had three straight multiple-TD games against Dallas, including his best performance of '07—four TDs and 312 yards in Week 1.

Giants vs. Cowboys: Dallas hung 45 points on New York in Week 1; the Giants' D has improved since then but not enough to throttle Tony Romo.

Interesting, saw this posted on BBI:

Eli Manning stats VS. Wade Phillips D's

Giants homer here. I think the Giants win a thriller 24-21
