I am hoping we take advantage of all their weaknesses, one of those is ST coverage units. I am hoping Banks takes their first punt all the way (no flags Riley!) and they start popping those suckers out of bounds for a 30yd net punt avg. The back of our D is very much a ball hawk unit now, so I agree 2+ Ints for Eli is likely, and won't start their year off very well. I also expect we will be trying to flank or short pass over their DLine, which is the main strength at this point.
If we don't win, it will be because of our mental mistakes more than the NYG outplaying us. And I don't expect many mental mistakes from the starters at this point.
Hopefully Eli will have such a horid game it throws the rest of the season off track with the other problems they have going on. Having Landry out won't hurt our "ball hawk secondary" just our run def. I think.

Ya' know, I double checked and the thread title is for Redskins vs. Giants. Perhaps if it was written in crayon.......

Any time, any place, is a good time & place to randomly rag on the Cowboys. Just to be clear: COWBOYS SUCK COWBOYS SUCK COWBOYS SUCK!!!
Try it, you'll see just how much fun it is!

I think it's overhyped. The players are different an while it's an emotional day, it isn't like it happened last year. If that really gives a team more motivation then they aren't professionals. I don't buy into bulletin board stuff either.
I don't know brother...to me it still seems like yesterday, and I hope it always does.
I can see the guys on the field getting extra pumped, a little extra adrenaline flowing than usual on Sunday - both sides.
Surely that doesn't make them unprofessional.

I bet pretty much every player can tell you where they were that day. Throw in the first game jitters, the "Yay America!!" hype, I bet both sides are pumped.

The year before> [1995] they were 8-8.

His team also had John Elway, not Rex Grossman. There's a little difference between the two wouldn't you say?

Did John Elway run the football?
He was good this year, but not his best season. It was the running, that got them the SB.
