The problem with the Giants is their success is going to ride on 3 injury prone guys in Skateboo, Dart and Nabors. The recklessness may be a problem. And they play on that dangerous turf.

RIP Cowgirlz @Joe Ball. Always next year....

Settings expectations early makes my life easier. Giants OC was miles ahead of Parker the entire game. My motto…

I’m a 31 year vet, I know the game, but I do appreciate the condolences.

Abysmal showing all the way around.

Not counting the last possession where the cowboys got the ball back with 14 secs left they had 5 possessions in the entire game. That's a crazy stat.

No worries. All is well!

Dallas and wash last place in the division perfect start

I’m curious how many snaps Hurts took from under center today. It didn’t seem like that many.

To be fair playing under center any more with the way the OLine played last night would have been suicide. Pretty much every time they had a positive play someone got called for holding.

The Giants scare absolutely no one. People are just justifying by their ridiculous Cowboys predictions by pumping up the Giants. Both teams are hot garbage.

Yeah yesterday was definitely a "you had to watch the game to get what actually happened” type of game. If you didn’t see the Oline you wouldn’t know Hurts and Barkley were playing 7 vs 11 on most plays they had the ball.

I still think the Giants are the worst team in the division. Let’s see if they’re within 10 points of DAL at home tonight. I doubt it.

How did that work out?

Lemon 3 rec for -5 yards is putting in some wild work.

Does that say more about Lemon, or more about the team’s approach to screen passes? … as illustrated by the graphic below.

they just created a phantom injury for Stowers. He said he was excited and ready. Next thing you know, hes benched for a surprise quad injury.

The team saw Dickerson all summer. It should have been obvious that he wasnt up to par. They started him. Hes going to be in the lineup unless he is dead. Last year he wasnt far from it and they still played him anyway.

Time will tell. Last year they didn’t really have any viable alternative. Toth was their Plan B. This year they have two viable alternatives.

Not for nothing, but their behind the LOS throws were absolute trash. They were so bad, they should shelf them for a few weeks... and then only bring out one per week, until they prove they can not LOSE yards doing it. Maybe come up with some wrinkles off that motion, because those plays were massively telegraphed.

Amen! You can say that again brother!

Give the GMen props. Harbaugh had them look more competitive but we can't worry about them now. We play them later. Their job for us last night was to knock the Boys off their high horse and that's exactly what they did. The GMen play a pissed off Rams team next so we'll see if they can sustain this. The Boys and Washington play each other so somebody is coming out of that 0-2. also the GMen were due, they haven't beaten Dak in a Decade. The Birds just need to take care of the Titans and keep it moving.

Damn I don’t know whether to be happy or sad about the Giants punking the Cowboys so far.

I think happy.

As much as I hate the Giants (much more than any other team), in terms of winning the NFCE a Cowboys loss is more valuable than a Giants loss.

Not sure how you came up with that. It is a nickname based off my name.

Yup. I was against drafting him, and wanted Creed Humphrey instead. Dickerson paid off... but, yes, his shelf life was extremely limited. Resigning him wasn't the problem, but the contract itself was. Unless Howie put in a bunch of clauses about early retirement, IR stints or whatever, that's a bad contract. It should have had more escalators based on playing time or something. I don't think he's going to finish the season upright.

Howie might also have taken out an injury insurance policy on Dickerson, which would mean the Eagles get Cap money back if his career is prematurely at an end.
