Probably going to abandon my "drink less during the games" mini-resolution by quarter 2. I think their offense is going to steamroll us. Our offense will look ok but it won't be enough. I guess I'm just hoping for some cool Saquon plays, Eli to look good, and the young players to demonstrate improvement.
Think our offense surprises people and looks really good. Engrem shreds Dallas and Barkley has a few big plays. Sadly, it goes for naught as the Dallas OL has their way with us and our defense offers little resistance.
I think this was the early 90s, the Giants had a big game against DAL where they were retiring either LT or Simms' number or putting them in the ring of honor or something like that. What the Cowboys did to us that game probably caused young me to wait another year or two before falling in love with football. I dread a similar performance.

'95 season opener @ Giants Stadium. Dallas won 35-0. Bad memories...
Tough Week 1 matchup - Dallas should hit the ground running with mostly the same coaching staff and roster from the previous couple of years. We'll have a competitive year, but I see a rough first game.

Their OL will be the difference. Zak will have more than enough time to throw, and will be doing so against a largely inexperienced secondary that has never played together. Zeke will have plenty of room to run for the same reason.
NYG's defense isn't able to slow down DAL OL and they control the clock. DAL LBs are built to deal with Engram matchupwise. Saquon still gets 100 yds and a score.
We finally have a competent OL that allows us to control the game with Saquan doing the heavy lifting. Eli takes advantage by spreading the rock with a renaissance play action performance.

+1 with the score with the caveat that Saquon gets 100 yards between rushing and receiving.
our defense just will not get the job done, especially against a Oline that will probably protect Dak with no issues. I think our offense will be improved this year (or continue the pattern from the last half of last year), I just don't think our defense will be much improved. Hope I am wrong.
I don't think our defense is ready to stop such a good offense...yet
Watching those defenses last night makes it painfully clear how far away the Giants are from having a top level NFL defense. Hopefully things will improve as the season progresses.
Yes, the Giants are improved, especially across the O Line, but I agree with many of the posts above that our defense will tire as the game goes on.
Cowboys 27- 20.
27-17
Sorry should have said mid 90s.
Cowboys 31-13

Was that the LT and Simms retirement #'s
Eli gets yanked at the half.

Giants play a solid first half - down by 3 at halftime but the Cowboy tsunami wears the Giants (not ready for prime time)defense down.
Eli looks good, SB has a better(80 on the ground, 30 air) game then Zeke (60 ground, 15 air).
If nothing else Giants are not embarrassed.
Rosas' leg provides the margin of victory late.
Saquon with 100 yards rushing and 50 yards receiving and 2 TDs
Eli with 300 yards and 2 TDs
-Defense causes 2 turnovers
Cowgirls 19-13.
Saquon gets bottled up except for 1 long run.
19 carries-93yds
Eli throws 1 pick off the hands of Latimer
20-33 for 228 yards 1 TD 1 INT
Baker gets 1st career pick and then fumbles it away on attempted return.
Cowboys O-Line and D dominate the game. Huge time of possession advantage for Dallas.
Our D can't run with the big dogs yet.
Giants 26 Cowboys 18
My prediction: I will be hoping he continues to follow that trend.
Giants: TD, FG, FG TD, FG FG
The Jones Boys: TD, FG, TD, FG
A little optimism goes a long way, fellars. Go Giants!
Eli- Throws 3 TDs
Barkley- 2 TDs (1 rushing, 1 receiving)
Giants Youngsters- 2 Ints & Fumble recovery
We lost to them by 1 in a high scoring game at the end of the season. I think we're a better team than we were then.
I predict Barkley, Eli and Engram have big games and the OL and D play well enough for a W.
28-27 Gmen!
Eli goes berserk. 4 TDs. 378 yds
Barkley 2 TDs. 119 yds. 3 rec for 72 yds.
Eli begins his 3rd super bowl run. Talking heads dismiss as the sun shining on a dogs ass
