but i dont think they are some great team, they have played well to start, but getting turnovers on defense has masked how bad that defense really is..
Didn't the consensus in 2020 have the Cowboys as a division contender last year? Weren't they also better on paper last year before Dak got injured?
Giants played them well the first game. Then the Defense couldn't get off the field on 3rd downs and Dalton completed 2 insane passes(or insane catches by the receivers) in the end to beat the Giants.
I hoping to be surprised but the Cowboys should win this game.
1 thing that is worrisome is that the DAL OL looks to back on track. With that, the Giants ridiculous soft coverage schemes will be a recipe for disaster
The buildup to this weeks’ game. The more pressure and quality the giants face, the better we can truly assess where they are at. Bring on the cowboys, bucs, and chiefs. Love it. The giants aren’t getting to the Super Bowl anyway. Let’s see what they are made of.
If the Cowboys blow us out he told us so.
If it’s close Dallas played down to our level.
If we win the Cowboys had an off day and didn’t play as good as they should have.
Giants barely eeked out a win against a .500 team while Dallas has been beating good teams and their only loss is to the SB champs.
While I'm as hopeful as anyone here that the Giants are turning it around, they haven't done it yet so I think it's fair to say they're not on the Cowboys level.
Now who knows, maybe the Giants have made the leaps we want and they pull out a win (I'd bet the Giants cover at least), but until they start beating good teams they won't get any credit.
He was talking to a Dallas Newspaper. What's he going to say, they stink?
FO rates the Cowboys as the second best team in the league. They've been as good as predicted on offense and surprisingly "better than average" on defense. If the Giants win, it'll be because the Giants defense plays much better than they have, or the Dallas defense plays significantly worse.

Dallas beat a chargers team that was going into score and the refs made 1 of the worst calls i ahve ever seen..
They beat a terrible eagles team
they beat the Panthers who didnt have Mccaffrey and their top corner..
... it's hard not to agree with him. I have watched the Cowboys this year, and they are clicking right now. OL and run game look terrific which is a bad matchup for our defense. And they have been getting good pressure on QBs (and Diggs has been an INT machine likely due to that as much as skill). Our OL really has to do well and prove that they can handle stunts and blitzes or we are in for a long game.
That said, any given Sunday. I don't think the Giants are that far behind but we need still better OL play and some kind of edge rush to be in their class.
I am putting the game on Judge. He blew the WFT game and this is a great opportunity to make up for it. D steps up and the O continues the momentum AND limits turnovers this is a 4th QTR game. Who makes the plays then will win.
Kind of wish those 90 Dallas teams had to contend when the NFCE was the Beast. Jimmy Johnson picked NO by ten points last week.
need to enter this game with high confidence, and build off the end of the NO game.
Show up and play the way they have for most of the rest of the season (mental errors, penalties, dumb stuff bad RZ play by the offense, not enough crucial stops by the defense) then yes, Troy's likely to be proven correct.
Which NYG shows up? They usually get Dallas's best shot ...
The Giants have proved nothing to think differently
This is not earth-shattering information.
The Giants are 1-3 and have not played a complete game yet.
Dallas is firing on all cylinders and as much as I hate to say it is the best team in the division by a big margin.
Giants are the worst team in football over the last 3 years.
Hall of famer, Super Bowl winner, assigned to the top Fox game every week. Yeah he's a nobody. Dislike him all you want but the guy is hardly a nobody.

Giants last three seasons, have nothing to do with this one

Dangerous game.
Terps I read your posts, respect your take, but you lost a little cred last week when you said Daniel s performance wasn’t impressive.
You might be right about a blow out this week, but I m thinking Giants surprise you.
I'm not going to lose sleep over that. I'm also not going to go nuts over that performance. He played well, but man have standards fallen when we go nuts over a 27-21 win to move to 1-3 on the year. Winning NFC player of the week was a joke, too - did you see Kyler Murray in LA?
I hope Jones keeps it up. I really do. But I'm going to need to see a lot more to be convinced he's the guy. Turn the season around and get in the playoffs. Otherwise go away.
Maybe the Giants surprise in Dallas. I don't know. What I do know is that through four games Dallas is two classes ahead of the Giants at least - which is why a close game would be a surprise.
This place is a yo-yo. Go back and read the New Orleans game thread through the third quarter. See how people were feeling then. One good half quarter of football and now people are feeling strong? Ok.
Would people disagree with such an obvious commentary. They are more accomplished and talented across the board, at every single position. We won ONE game and we are all of the sudden some juggernaut that commands respect. We beat a team with gimmicky QBs and a ton of injuries and now we're the 85 Bears. Can we win? Sure we can, is it likely? Nope.

Well said, 100% agree. The duo of Elliott and Pollard has really been working for them the past few weeks. And if you shut down the run they hit you with the pass with Lamb, Cooper, and now Schultz playing really well.
I honestly don’t expect us to win this one, but I’m hoping we at least keep it interesting.
Should not be used in the same sentence. The organization hasn't had any class since Tom Landry was coach. Aikman and Buck gan give each other back massages in the booth this Sunday like they usually do.
Yup! Forget penalities for now but look at this the Giants are 3rd in the nfl in dropped passes. Also have 7 more drops than Dallas through 4 weeks. We need this to turn around.
By construction, Dallas has always been a collection of talent
Forever we've been hearing things like "most talented team in the league". There is a big gap between NYG and Dallas in terms of talent. But that team in big D has much to prove themselves in terms of putting it together and making a run. That being said, we'll need a lot of things going our way to overcome the roster gap and pull out a win. It's possible, but small margin for error.
He is responding to a hometown paper so I'll take that into consideration. I HATE the 'not in the same class' take. Up until 5pm Sunday were we in New Orleans 'class'. If he says we match up horribly with Dallas, I'll agree mores that putting any team in a class right now considering that in any given year there are typical only 3 or 4 elite teams and even they get beat on an off weekend. That said, Dak seems to be back, Elliott is having a good season and they have an opportunistic defense. We don't match up well as we haven't stopped the run, we havent taken advantage of turnovers or opportunities for turnovers and Dak always seems to have our number. Lets play the game though and see how we do. At least its not a Sunday, Monday or Thursday NIGHT game.
Love the underdog role... always.
I guess we will find out Sunday, won’t we?
Their offense hides their defense very well
Didn't the consensus in 2020 have the Cowboys as a division contender last year? Weren't they also better on paper last year before Dak got injured?

Dallas has proven a hell of a lot more than us this year, and coming from a great Dallas QB, this is not a sensational take.
I don't agree with him of course, but we've got a lot of work to do before we can brag on our own football chops.
When we win this Sunday, then the conversation will really open up.
What he supposed to say as an ex Cowboy QB?
Meh
