Gameday: Dak's circled date

allstarjim : 10/10/2021 6:09 am
It it almost a year to the day when a scrambling Dak Prescott was tackled by Logan Ryan, resulting in a catastrophic ankle fracture, ending his season.

The surgery, the rehab, the questions, the road back, and now, today, he's facing Logan Ryan and the Giants' again, finally.

This date has to have been proverbially circled on Dak's calendar. What kind of emotions and thoughts will he have as he takes the field?

I'll say this, I believe Dak will have put in as much extra work as possible to get ready for this game. The Giants are going to get his best shot. So hopefully, this team is ready for it.

Will the emotions get the better of him and lead to mistakes? Will it alter his focus? Certainly it will be going through his mind before the game. Once he takes the field, though, it's anyone's guess. But I'd expect him to look to really hurt this Giants' secondary early and often. It's something that should be anticipated.

Let's go Giants.

dirty play, a cheap shot or horse collar. So why would it be circled? It was a football injury without malice.

I doubt that this game is any different to him than any other divisional game.
he's not that kind of player

and neither is Logan Ryan. I think this game is just another divisional game against a bitter rival.
Don’t

Think this game means any more to him than any other. He’s gonna bring his best game just like he would any week. Like the other guys said, it wasn’t dirty.
Dak always gives the Giants his

Best shot, look at his record against them, especially in Dallas
We haven’t beaten Prescott in quite

some time. He’s a good QB and is generally very good against us!
Pretty sure it was Darnay Holmes

Right?
And today I hope we knock that stupid star off his helmet  
SteelGiant : 10/10/2021 8:36 am : link
And we smack that stupid sad face on to Jerry Jones's face.

I hope we hit them so hard that Aikman has to deal with overwhelming embarrassment the entire broadcast. I hope that Keyshawn Johnson has to go work tomorrow and walk through every hallway with his head down.

We are the ones that have our backs against the the wall and need to put the pedal to the metal on the first snap and never let up.

The playoffs start right now. We find a way to win today and everything changes. We win today, we are one game back of the great Cowboys. Thinking of Herb Brooks, I am tired of hearing of how great the Cowboys are, today is Our day, today is a New York Giants Day.

Today is not the day to care about Dak's triumphs. I hope that Judge and Garret realize that our current team is one that should attack fast and early today. Get a lead and see how the Cowboys play from behind. I don't care if the league thinks we are shit, it all changes if we go out there hit them in the face. Hit them so hard that their mother's feel it.

Win today and the Cowboys world implodes. Win today and we see headlines like "Is McCarthy the right coach?"

We have seen this story before, in the words of Strahan "Believe it, and it will happen"

GO GIANTS

Yeah but is a year almost to the date. Same week same opponent same location. Nobody said it was dirty or anything but I could see him thinking it as closing that year if rehab and work to get back and leave it in the rear view.

Hopefully we can harass the shit out of him somehow today. Maybe someone in the Dallas area can slip some horse laxative in their olines lunch lol
Clean or dirty has nothing to do with it.

It's about all he went through to get back, and he's facing the same team, it's going to be emotional.

There's a reason this game is Fox's game of the week despite the Giants having a 1-3 record.
Maybe stick to making

Right, game of the week because Dak had a broken ankle...people can talk themselves into anything.

It's THE storyline. Watch the pre-game and then mock me. I guarantee it's all going to be about the game last year and Dak's recovery and "revenge" game (for lack of a better word).

I was talking to a Cowboys fan yesterday...  
Dan in the Springs : 10/10/2021 10:51 am : link
a stranger on line at the grocery store with a Cowboys sweatshirt on. I asked him if he thought the Cowboys were going to win. He didn't know I was a Giants fan. He said "It's the anniversary". I didn't know what he meant and he explained.

I didn't even remember that Dak's injury came against the Giants, but apparently Dallas hasn't forgotten.

I didn't think about this but you raise an interesting point.

It seems only human nature for Dak to mark this game as an anniversary moment.
Emotions leading to mistakes?  
Mike from Ohio : 10/10/2021 11:06 am : link
Does Barkley go to sleep every night thinking about revenge on the Bears? Is Sterling Shepard counting the days until he can take vengence on the Falcons?

This is fan nonsense. Dak’s comeback was against Tampa. This is simply a division game he is going to prepare to win. He isn’t going crazy this morning with thoughts of payback for a clean tackle.

It’s the game of the week because it’s Giants Cowboys in essentially a must win for the Giants who came off a big win. It’s not game of the week if Giants lose last week regardless of Daks ankle.
All 7 NFL Dallas Morning News beat writers predict Cowboys win

6 of the 7 predict double digit win Jean Jacques Taylor predicts a 7 point win.
Really not a lot of mention of Dak's injury against the Giants last October. Seems like it is more fan generated.
Let's go Giants shock Cowboy Nation!!!

So, that does not make it Dak's storyline. If Fox wants to drum up interest as a revenge game, does not make it so.

Have read about it at all this week.
Hate the Cowboys but

Dak is a good guy. Happy he recovered well to continue his career. Unlike the owner, he's a hard worker and keeps his mouth shut.
