The Giants are blowing them out week 1 - regardless of who starts at RB
Let's not go crazy. It's a tough division game on the road. It will be a close game either way. I do find it somewhat satisfying to know that Jerrah KNOWS, however, that his team of convicts has no shot to win this game without him. Pretty funny actually
If Beckham is all systems go - i don't see how they stop this offense. They do not have the DL to exploit the weak Giants OL - Eli should light them up accordingly.
With the injuries/suspensions, the Dallas front 7 is a joke.
Of course the difference is their respective guilt. And this was in response to the oft-repeated but completely false notion that they cut him immediately following the suspension. They didn't. He kicked for the Giants last season. They cut him after the enabling behavior of the Giants and the NFL was exposed.
Funny story about the Brown case. The lead investigator recommended a full six game suspension but a Giants fan in the league office decided on one game. In Zeke's case the same investigator recommended no suspension but a Giants fan in the league office overrode her recommendation and gave him the full six. Weird huh?
wtf are we even humoring this Dbag cowboys fan for?

It's just irritating that you can get yourself suspended, but manage to spot-start a specific game just by gaming the legal and league appeal system in a certain way.

Well, that is more the NFL fault in how they dragged out the investigation. They had the entire offseason to issue the suspension allowing plenty of time for the appeals and legal challenges.
If the suspension is upheld doesn't that mean he is still suspended unless a court overturnes it? Was the suspension a six game suspension or was it a suspension not putting him eligible until week 7. (The first six games). If it was the latter he shouldn't be playing as it was upheld.
There is no bigger game ratings wise in the NFL during the regular season than Giants-Cowboys. So it conveniently works out that Elliott sits six games but not the Giants game? Sorry, I'm not buying it.

What I find so "fishy" is the delay in handing down the suspension so late in the offseason. What new testimony/evidence came to light that delayed the initial decision? The NFL had a 1 1/2 years to investigate the matter. They could have issued the suspension after the Draft or OTAs. It would have allowed for plenty of time to hear appeals and any court challenges.

Exactly. It reeks of an under-the-table deal with Jerry Jones.
Almost as if the NFL had come to the conclusion early enough, but didn't want to tarnish Jerry's induction into the HoF with unwanted questions from the media. By keeping a lid on it, Jerry could have his choreographed moment.
On the flipside, it's pretty cool to see the damage that crack has inflicted on his brain from all the years of use.
How the fuck he has a job is beyond me...I guess it isn't as bad as when Emmitt Smith butchered the English language every week on Monday night Countdown.

Totally about ratings. This is an NFL special: for 'legal' reasons the league 'must' let him play. Rich Eisen said this is an NFLPA victory, but the NFL needs the ratings, first and foremost. I am unaware of any other deferred suspensions.

How is it a NFLPA victory if Elliott is still doing 6 games? It's a Jerrah victory since he gets to have Elliott against the Giants.
They could not afford to have BOTH Zeke and OBJ out of a marquee game. The NFL couldn't do anything about OBJ's ankle, but they could certainly put the fix in for Zeke's suspension.
When they say it's not about the money (ratings)...
It seems like an annual thing when the NFL announces the ratings for the Giants-Cowboys games. If it isn't at the very top, it's near there...combination of "America's team" and America's largest TV market.
...for critical home opener against key division rival.
Perhaps, but it might have been worse if McFadden had a great game. I've watched too many games where The backup has a breakout game because the Giants had no prior experience playing him. Jay Schroeder of the 'Skins comes to mind: L Taylor broke Thiesmann's leg, when Gs are winning; JS brings 'Skins back to a 1-point win.

The Cowboys dominate each year's top 5 rated games, sometimes 3 or 4 of the top 5 games are Cowboys games.
The Giants are just one of several distant second-tier teams in the ratings.

Agree with you. Not my opinion, but Eisen's on NFL Network. Interestingly, Eisen cut off Faulk when Faulk was apparently going to disagree with Eisen's claim that you need a law degree to understand this. Network won't acknowledge that Ratings always trump the league's syrupy 'moral' code.
If there was even a modicum of overconfidence by the Giants
Giant defense should be able to take care of business even with Zeke.
So stop playing conspiracy-theory with this suspension delay nonsense, its embarrassing...
Conspiracy? The NFL rep comes up with a new 'top-late' rule. $$$$$. The Giants kept Zeke and his team to less than 10 points in game 2, after the Cowboys had developed into an unstoppable force.

You're just trying too hard at this point. You're literally becoming a caricature of yourself. It's embarrassing.
Conspiracy theory? The dude has been suspended for 6 games. Oh, but he can play in game 1 on national television! They has all off season to hash this out and it comes down 2 hours after their supposed deadline, on the exact same day? Yeah, ok.
And I haven't seen one single post on here looking 'worried" about anything. In fact, I've seen the exact opposite. Pointing out the curiosities of this case has nothing to do with being "worried". Just stop. You're entering radar territory and it's not a good look.

But I think the Giants win anyway.
