Is it a squad of future HOFers? NO. But they are very competent. Besides I'm old enough to remember the 85 Bears, they said the same thing. Giants aren't in 85 Bears class, but I don't think that you can isolate any "part" of a defense. Giants pass D, includes the pass rush. No one has solved it yet (only short crossing stuff into the teeth of the D, which leads to turnovers)Big Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00624944437887706169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-59873887404817734042008-11-19T13:30:00.000-05:002008-11-19T13:30:00.000-05:00i agree a healthy cowboys offense gives anyone tro...i agree a healthy cowboys offense gives anyone trouble and they could beat the giants. the giants would still score, but the cowboys are very capable of big plays. of course, dallas is their own worse enemy and doesn't have the character of ny. let's hope we don't see a reversal of last year where dallas ruled the season but got knocked off by the giants in a playoff's nail biter. <BR/><BR/>i'm not worried about complacency, but injuries can pop up at any time.<BR/><BR/>ko coverage has been troublesome, but tynes helps with longer kos.xtianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403376478677842532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-77785742659269308682008-11-19T12:28:00.000-05:002008-11-19T12:28:00.000-05:00I am concerned every week about our opponents.

Our pass rush has not been what it was earlier in the season but I still have to give credit to our opposition because all the OC's are gearing their game plans to combat this. Having said that, we always seem to have the most trouble with mobile QB's which Warner is not. AZ's run game is poor. They are 29th in the league with 869 total rush yds, so I think Spags will have them "pinning their ears back" and putting tremendous pressure on Kurt Warner.<BR/><BR/>on another note...<BR/><BR/>If you think the Giants were angry last year when they sent one player to the Pro Bowl while the Cowboys sent 13? Well, the champs might be on the verge of being slighted again. <BR/>With three weeks to go in the fan balloting on NFL.com, which counts for one-third of the selection process, the Washington Redskins lead in 16 of the 19 position categories in the NFC. They also have four of the top 10 overall NFL vote-getters. <BR/>Eli Manning (fourth) is the only Giant in the overall top 10. And DE Justin Tuck is the only Giant leading the voting at his position.<BR/><BR/>I think that chip on their shoulder is getting very heavy...Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02151576898703507305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-77341344554321560662008-11-19T12:26:00.000-05:002008-11-19T12:26:00.000-05:00The Giants most dangerous adversaries are complace...The Giants most dangerous adversaries are complacency, overconfidence & injuries.<BR/><BR/>Can they win again in the postseason when NOT an underdog ?<BR/>I'm concerned about another Cleveland type letdown.

Romo's ability to scramble out of trouble sets up big plays against their weakness. The O needs to become Obamaesque in their play calling and out score them.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, Dallas will implode as projected and Wade Phillips continues to use his intellect (idiotcy).<BR/><BR/>AZ concerns me as this will be interesting to watch with the matchups of 2ndary and their WRs.Motown Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218210984515633044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-85083391988952933082008-11-19T09:48:00.000-05:002008-11-19T09:48:00.000-05:00on any given sunday, any team can beat the Giants....on any given sunday, any team can beat the Giants.

On offense: Some sloppy Eli play. On defense: a couple of big plays downfield, or some over-pursuit that wiffs on misdirection. We know the Giants have it in them to blow it against inferior opposition. My biggest worry is probably special teams, where sooner or later we'll get burned on lousy kickoff coverage (kick the damn ball in the endzone already).<BR/><BR/>This week's game against Arizona is concerning because the pass rush seems to have evaporated. We'll need it big time to keep Warner from shredding a banged up secondary.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Having said that, I do think this team is stronger and more disciplined than many in the past. There is clearly no team in the league who would be significantly favored against the Giants.dberensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11310074403659656251noreply@blogger.com
