are you nuts? i'm a HUGE giants fan but i'm also a realist. the only thing we have going for us is the fact that it's early and coughlin may not have poisoned the locker room yet. 6-10 would be a good season for us, imho.
but i have been very wrong before and when it comes to the giants anything could happen. if eli wakes up and if the linebackers and secondary show up, who knows? dallas is picked to win the division by pretty much everyone. excpet the delusional people in philly. god i hate philly.
I may be overreacting to the injury situation, but I assure you people out at Valley ranch are equally concerned. This is not the same team we were counting on going into the season. The injury casualties are to key members of the team. Nearly everyone undervalued T Glenn's contribution, but knowledgeable people realized how he changed the way teams approached the Cowboys defensively . They just don't have anyone to replace him. Newman was the one guy who would allow them to blitz blitz, and blitz some more, with full confidence in his ability to cover anybody, alone. Even if he plays, he’ll be maybe 60%. Ellis was needed to pressure the QB opposite Ware— essential in the 3-4 that Wade Phillips employs. It's hoped Spencer can step in and do it, but he's a rookie. And he's weak in run defense (not good when you have 260lb rb to corral).
So call me nuts, but I'm leery of how this team copes with these losses. It's not really that I think that highly of the Giants or Eli, however this is a divisional game and it will be tough. Now before all these injuries I was predicting Super Bowl for the Cowboys, but I'm slamming the brakes on it based on available info.
