They have been a completely different team at home vs. on the road.
They obliterated a Saints team that beat us (though the Saints obviously have their own issues on the road). Beat the Bucs, beat the Eagles (who beat us), and beat the Rams.
We didn't face LeSean Jackson in first game.
Giants seem to do well against Kirk Cousins however.
Desean McCoy is on the Philadelpia Bills this year.
Contain the run and force Cousins to beat us. Despite our poor pass defense, Kirk Cousins has never succeeded when forced to do anything. He'll make some bad throws and hopefully we can turn some of those into interceptions.
If Reed is out that's a big loss for them.
2) No turnovers
3) Score TD's at least half the time we cross midfield.
Road (35-14 combined record):
Giants
Falcons
Jets
Patriots
Panthers
Home (25-29 combined record):
Dolphins
Rams
Eagles
Bucs
Saints
Even subtracting out the redskins games still shows a disparity.

Great post.
Giants need to win these next 3.
More important is the injury to Trent Williams. If he can't go, or if he's limited by his knee, then JPP can pin his ears back on almost literally every snap and do some serious damage in the Washington backfield.
In the end, though, the Giants locker room has to decide that they're a legitimate contender for the division title: if they figure out that they can pretty much lock it up with even a brief run against three beatable teams (Washington, Miami, and New York) while our rivals have to play some awfully tough games, we can put this thing away before we even see Carolina.
Lots of bitching going on in DC today led by Jason Hatcher and Chris Baker. Same old shit from DC - excuses, excuses. As if one call in the second quarter affected the ultimate outcome of a 28-point beat down (come one, we all know it was really 30).
Someone pointed out before that DC is 28th in fewest penalties. They are actually the least penalized defense in the NFL. I guess the conspiracy is it's not how many penalties the officials call, but when.
I hate everything about their organization. The only person I fear in that organization is McCloughan. Hopefully his stay there isn't long.
