Eli's Giants at Dak's Cowboys

[Bully13]

I'm ready for The Boys to put a whippin on NY.

[Commercecomet24]

I hope Dak puts it On em! I hate New York teams and I hate Eli.

[DownwardDawg]

I hope the boys destroy them. Stupid ole miss fans bring up the head to head matchup when you are comparing Dak and Eli. As if they play against each other.

[RocketDawg]

Yeah, we should have a thread. It should be a good game. I haven't seen Dak yet this year. Last year I think all the preseason games were available here.

[ScoobaDawg]

Well.. this is a thread so.. why not.
Beckham out for the night.. Zek is playing. Come on Cowboys

[Commercecomet24]

I hope the boys destroy them. Stupid ole miss fans bring up the head to head matchup when you are comparing Dak and Eli. As if they play against each other.

Those idiots up north. So Eli wins 2 games but Dak wins the division. Advantage Dak! Which makes Dak 1-0 against Eli in winning division championships!

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Eli is the 4th best QB in that division.

[Maroonthirteen]

Dak not so sharp to start. Hopefully he finishes like Fitz did.

[rcsteph1]

Dak not so sharp to start. Hopefully he finishes like Fitz did.

A little indecisive to start. Gotta trust his reads.

[rcsteph1]

Dak's gotta settle down. Too much on his throws they are all sailing. Knock the rust off and play football.

[maroonmania]

Dak not so sharp to start. Hopefully he finishes like Fitz did.

Everything is sailing high on him right now. Hopefully he is just overhyped for the opener and will settle down.

[RocketDawg]

Dak not so sharp to start. Hopefully he finishes like Fitz did.

Almost every pass has been too high. And the one to Dez in the end zone was high and behind him. Hopefully Dak will settle down on the next series or two.

[BayouDawg]

They should have pounded it into the endzone there

[ShotgunDawg]

Did Hev recruit the Giants' OL?

[rcsteph1]

They should have pounded it into the endzone there

Exactly, throw it up to Dez one time and then pound the rock.

[ShotgunDawg]

Exactly, throw it up to Dez one time and then pound the rock.

And they will. But then cowboys have to establish that Dak can throw in the redzone so teams don't sell out on Zeke

[GreenheadDawg]

Damnit Dak. Missed 2 touchdowns opportunities there

[RocketDawg]

Just noticed Witten's arms ... they're bright red. Does he have the heartbreak of psoriosis or something (could be that only oldsters will understand that reference)?

[rcsteph1]

And they will. But then cowboys have to establish that Dak can throw in the redzone so teams don't sell out on Zeke

Absolutely.. Gotta get 7 there though. Dez is getting a little frustrated, understandably, He just needs to be patient. It will come.

[State82]

Dallas OL playing like they did last preseason game. Like a bunch of clowns.

[rcsteph1]

Time to settle in and drive. Thinking too much just take what they give you and move the ball.

[rcsteph1]

Damn. Good defensive play across the middle.

[MarketingBully]

It looks to me the OL isn't giving Dak a lot of time to throw back there. Dak has missed some throws but the OL has to block better as well.

[ShotgunDawg]

Giants may have the best DL and secondary in football.

This is the Cowboys' toughest matchup.

[MarketingBully]

Oh I agree. I just think our fans are quick to say Dallas's struggles are on Dak when it's more than that.

[rcsteph1]

Giants may have the best DL and secondary in football.

This is the Cowboys' toughest matchup.

Just gotta keep grinding. Protect the football. Dallas defensively dominating right now.

[MarketingBully]

Beautiful play to Whitten from Dak. Boys up 13-0. :)

[rcsteph1]

There we go. Dak to Whitten for TD

[rcsteph1]

I'm greedy. Lets get a turnover

[Reason2succeed]

Has the Dallas defense improved or is the New York offense that bad?

[BeardoMSU]

Dak started pretty shaky, but he's looking good now. Dallas up 16-nil at the half. Eli "my mom drank when she was pregnant with me" Manning looks pretty horrendous, so far...

The biggest take away so far is how great Dallas' D is looking. I was not expecting this performance. Hope they can keep it up.

[Pollodawg]

Eli's face says it's all. "I was promised after 2001 that a State QB would never embarrass me again."

[Commercecomet24]

Dallas made some pretty big changes on defense in the offseason so they're much better!

[rcsteph1]

Dallas made some pretty big changes on defense in the offseason so they're much better!

Wasn't sure how that would play out. They look much improved through the first half. Hopefully they can keep up the domination and let the offense stay out there and get a little more comfortable.

[Mutt the Hoople]

Dak's beating Dumbface

[Bully13]

Dallas OL playing like they did last preseason game. Like a bunch of clowns.

Hevesy

[Bully13]

Ny football giants trying to get back into it

[Bully13]

Daks gotta show up next series. Ny football giants getting ready to punch it.

[rcsteph1]

This. Need a long drive TD to answer. Giants offensive adjustments at the half were successful moving the ball. Did good to hold them to 3 there.

NY Football Giants startling to get pissed off. DAK and America's team will need to get tough.

Attta boy Dez.

[rcsteph1]

It's about time for a strip sack fumble

[Bully13]

Cowboy D-Line is not overwhelmingly stout.

[rcsteph1]

Here comes the Ref protecting poor ole Eli. Dumb A killed a stop by slinging him keeping the drive alive

[rcsteph1]

What a catch by Beasley

[Pollodawg]

Dak looks horrible tonight. He's been off all night.

[Cooterpoot]

Overthrowing everybody and floating it sometimes,

[rcsteph1]

Dak looks horrible tonight. He's been off all night.

I wouldn't say horrible but he doesn't look comfortable. Definitely off tonight.

[Commercecomet24]

Y'all do realize he's playing against one of the best pass defenses in the NFL? He's completed 61% for 260 1 td no turnovers and has a 90 rating. Far from horrible

[rcsteph1]

Y'all do realize he's playing against one of the best pass defenses in the NFL? He's completed 61% for 260 1 td no turnovers and has a 90 rating. Far from horrible

Yes. No where near horrible. However, to me he doesn't look comfortable. He's playing tight. Probably from what he's reading in the defense.

[Pollodawg]

Dallas has shot themselves in the foot numerous times too.

[Commercecomet24]

Yes. No where near horrible. However, to me he doesn't look comfortable. He's playing tight. Probably from what he's reading in the defense.

Yeah I think it's the giants defense. They're really good on d. Dallas ol has had some holding and false starts that have put them in bad spots too

[Pollodawg]

Y'all do realize he's playing against one of the best pass defenses in the NFL? He's completed 61% for 260 1 td no turnovers and has a 90 rating. Far from horrible

That's not causing him to float passes and over throw people by as badly as he has at times. I don't know if anyone has told you this, but it's ok for Dak to be a little off.

[Pollodawg]

My bad. I didn't mean for that be as douchetastic as that sounded.

[Commercecomet24]

I know it's ok geez but it's a heckuva stretch to say he's played horrible. Bad stretch.

[Commercecomet24]

My bad. I didn't mean for that be as douchetastic as that sounded.

It's all good.

[BeardoMSU]

Dak started slow, but still is gonna end up with a very respectable stat line. 61+ percent passing, 250+ yards, and a TD against one of the best D's in the league is a great way to start the season.

[DancingRabbit]

Hasn't been perfect, but I wouldn't say horrible. He's sailed a few but never got flustered, still managing the game pretty well. Made a few plays, including the TD.

First game.

ETA - God Bless Dan Bailey

Where's the manning smirk?

Engrams has more career catches than treadwell lol

[BeardoMSU]

Y'all notice that "C" on Dak's chest? His teammates voted him a captain. I expected that, but it's still cool to see. Dak is such an awesome guy.

[BeardoMSU]

Engram is a good player. I don't have any reasons to dislike him; if anything, I have hate for our D-coordinators for letting him run wild.

[Commercecomet24]

Agree with you there. He always seemed like he didn't fit the om mold.

Damn, thanks beard for the heads up

[Lord McBuckethead]

I only got to watch the last quarter, but Dak did look like he wasn't setting his feet correctly on pretty much all the throws I saw him make. Although, he launched that one to Dez in the end zone flat footed and still had it on the mark.

[Pollodawg]

17 N.Y., 17 Eli, Go Dak, Go Dakboys

We can all agree.

[parabrave]

Did anyone else catch the slam against Engram when the announcer said that the Giants were expecting alot more out of Engram than they are getting. He looked lost out there.

[Commercecomet24]

Probably still learning the route tree like all those om receivers.

[Maroonthirteen]

I question if the Mannings influenced that draft pick. I always thought Engram was a good athlete, player for them but he never struck me as a 1st round pick.
