Cousins is playing well. He has weapons. Jackson has killed us. He owns us.
Teams on Thursday on the road have not faired well.
The Texans are Terrible against the run and Washington is strong vs. The run.
That said it is a game I think we can win. I would very much like to see us shutting down the run and then when Cousins has to throw getting some pass rush and making him uncomfortable and then thr secondary getting a turnover or 2.
Also this game is critical to both teams so sense of urgency is going to be high on both sides. Intensity will be high I think. I think since Washington had a tough nc east last week the benefit to nyg is they have a little less in the tank and their D is banged up.
I believe the NYG will need to put up at least 27 points to win, unless the weather is helper skelter.
First play of the game on offense? Play action pass anyone ?
You missed the memo. Thursday night football home teams are only winning at a 56% clip since the NFL started doing weekly Thursday games in 2012. Visiting teams are not at any more of a disadvantage on Thursdays than they are on Sundays.
in the sense of if there is any chance to get into the postseason, and I think that is a realistic goal Giants need this. 1-3 is bad enough. 1-3 again losing teams with backup QBs would be very hard to justify and hope or credibility.
Win this game somehow, anyhow and get guys healthy. It would be really nice if the Giants start playing well, them get a nice extra boost from ODjr in a few weeks when he's ready to go.
Joe Thiesmann (and I know he is full of hyperbole) was pushing for Cousins to be the starter in preseason action. To even approach that in RG3 country, says something to me. I am sure Snyder wasn't happy to hear that.
Despite the Eagles hot start, the NFC East is wide open. You want to win the division you have to win these games. It starts tonight!
Don't let it get out of hand early. Cousins has talent but he's never won a big game in the fourth quarter. Keep them off the board early. Last week the team got some momentum with a few early stops. We played well with the lead as opposed to the first few weeks where we had to come from behind. I don't see us winning a shootout. We have to sustain long drives by using our quick passing and running the football.
Need to win the turnover battle. Take care of the football. Make a couple plays on defense. When's the last time we had a strip sack? I see one coming from DaMONSTER tonight!
HUGE GAME! HUGE HUGE GAME! If we can find a way to win against a division opponent on the road after starting 0-2 this team will gain some confidence and some momentum. Shock the world. Get it done.
Hopefully we can run the ball well enough, because I'm not sure we have the weapons yet to win any shoot-outs on the road. Hope we bring Cousins down to Earth, too. He sucked last year.
If he plays soft zone skins will tear us up. This is the game to bring pressure on cousins and not drop 8 into coverage. Paul needs to have a big game and be able to stop the run on his side. Cousins needs to be rushed if he is allowed time he will tear us up. DRC on Jackson that is what he was brought here to do. But knowing Fewell he will play 2 zone deep and the skins rec will be open all day. Pressure is the keys tonight. Get them out of the rhythm. Make him make bad throws. I have faith offense will put up 21+ points.
Their secondary is in shambles and they're going to bring a lot of pressure to try and cover it up. If we can hit on some quick hits over the middle, one or two will probably go for big yardage.
DeSean Jaccson gets alot of press, but when was the last time he just abused the Giants OUTSIDE of the play that remains nameless in 2010? He had 11 catches against us last year, but the last time he really went off on us was 2009.
Arc. I think Cruz and Preston Parker are going both going to have lots of chances for YAC tonight.
I literally can't wait for this game, I'm very, very excited to see the Giants offense work. First time in quite some time where I have no idea what play the offense will run.
Now I know why you are nuts. That play killed us. It is a toss up between that play and the flipper Anderson play that I remember watching as to daggers in the heart...
yeah, really obvious I know but I just want to shut these clown "experts" on the pre-game show the hell up. Apparently, the Giants shouldn't even show up for the game.
GO GIANTS!!!
did anyone hear Mooch say that Jennings rushing total
GO GIANTS!!!
AND
not having to wait a week for another game
Stop the run
Win the turnover battle
Big division game. This year the Giants win their first divisional game.

If we continue to do that, I think we will be ok.
Defensive lineman promoted from the practice squad. Interested to know how they freed up the roster spot. This doesn't suck.
Jackson is banged up but expect DRC to still be on him.
And somebody better cover TE Niles Paul who was targeted a bunch by Cousins last week when coverage started to roll to the outside WRs.
Run the ball again and again and again.

Prince played a good game against the Texans.

Nice! I second your sentiment.
My heart says that they need a body because Orakpo is not playing.
Wonder who is inactive...

Orakpo and Hatcher are both a go for tonight
Lookin forward to it
I literally can't wait for this game, I'm very, very excited to see the Giants offense work. First time in quite some time where I have no idea what play the offense will run.
Giants inactives: Beason, Beckham, Kennard, Charles Brown, Kerry Wynn, James Brewer and Jay Bromley.
tough week and all that..giants win..
"Finish"
And I am nuts, but that is not the correct reason.
yep it cannot come soon enough!
- Defense gets off to shaky start, especially in pass defense
- Offense eventually gets it going
- Giants get the ball late with a chance to win
I like our matchups on defense - I think Prince and DRC will to some extent bottle up Jackson and Garon.
Giants by a TD.
I like that.
It's going to be important to establish the run again and to get to Cousins.
GO GIANTS!!!
Hopefully I'm wrong but I don't see an ounce of emotion
Yes, I believe it was the game Tiki took over vs. Redskins in 2006.
Hopefully I'm wrong but I don't see an ounce of emotion
Thank you Mr Freud.
fair enough.
Highest number of rushes, not rushing yards.
