NFL Week #7: TNF | New York Giants (3-3) @ Dallas Cowboys (5-1)

And now you will hear them clamoring on the Colt McCoy bandwagon. That certainly didn't take long.

Okay well the Rams winning against the Seahawks certainly takes some luster off our win last week.

Then it also takes it off the Chargers as well. And what does it say about the Broncos and Packers losing to them?

NFL is as much who you play as much when you play. Seems the Seahawks are in a bit of a slump now. Which isn't suprising, as a lot of people agreed they didnt look quite like themselves when we played.

Probably not gonna last Fisher-lover

Probably not, because Austin Davis. Make him our QB and we might be 3-3. Maybe.

So what do you guys make of this opinion?

2. Can the Giants get the offense in rhythm? The Eagles' pass rush so overwhelmed the Giants' offensive line Sunday night that Eli Manning and the offense couldn't get anything going. Their offense is rhythm-driven and must be on the field collecting first downs at a steady clip in order to operate effectively and score points. The Cowboys aren't likely to attack them as fiercely, but the way they slow down an offense is by boring it to death on the sideline. Dallas' average per-game time of possession is 34:02, which is the fourth-highest in the league. If they can run the ball with Murray as effectively as they have been, they can keep Manning and the Giants' offense off the field -- as they did to Russell Wilson and the Super Bowl champion Seahawks on Sunday in Seattle -- and knock them out of their rhythm that way.

Does a relentless ground game that racks up time of possession put the opposing offense on its heels?

I believe it is true, but at the same time, I'm not sure why it should be so.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

I buy it, but I think a bigger factor is missing their pro bowl WR and best rb. Listening to the pre game, the Giants guy says the rookie rb has hands of stone and has absolutely no clue about blitz pickup.

Something definitely wrong in Seattle.

Im hoping the Cowboys set it in motion. That win looks a little less big now.

Telvin Smith playing his ass off. Should have taken him over Hitchens.

 

[Midswat]

No cuz Hitchens had that one play in that one game and everyone said it justified the selection. Or something like that.

They didn't look quite themselves when they lost to the Chargers.

Kyle Orton throws a walk off winning TD.

 

[dbair1967]

Fat Rob in the clutch again for Aints

Guy has got to be one of the worst defensive coordinators in history

The Zimmer scheme fails again late?

No way!

Like they did with the Saints?

Not really. Seattle beat Green Bay and Denver didn't they?

Seattle lost today because of ST, which is kinda ironic because that's been their trademark for awhile now and was pretty much the only reason they were in the game with us last week.

Yeah I really liked him.

 

[dbair1967]

Stupid fucking Titans blew the game big time

I used to think Rob Ryan was the shit because I really wanted a complex defensive scheme that confused oppossing QB's and threw blitzes from all angles. Call it me being envious of the Eagles defenses under Jim Johnson.

But yeah, turns out he is really really bad.

 

[Midswat]

Not really.

Yeah, really.
