I like the way you think Lotus.

I hope it is correct, I'd love to see the Skins punch the giants right in their mouth, right out of the gate on national tv...

The same guys report has us playing home vs NYG week 15... again, I dont know how this guy is the only guy on earth that has a teams schedule, so I'm still skeptical.

It's an advantage for the Giants to play us early at their place. No wind and U.S Open tennis weather. The only time we've beaten them up there in recent memory was when we played them in December and the weather nullified their passing game. That was in 2006. So the Giants have the league schedule us first the next two years in a row. The Giants always get their way with the league. Like when the league so kindly offered to play the Saints -Giants game, which was suppossed to be in New Orleans, in New York instead, giving the Giants 9 home games that year. Couldn't they have played in Houston or Memphis?

LOL............you have got to be kidding,bring this crap up again?Flash.....if you go back and check the Giants offered to delay that game till another venue could become available,between College ,Pro games and Baseball no they couldn't....the Meadowlands was it and the Saints thought it was better to play then to wait.

Monkeydad · 04-15-2009, 10:25 AM

Don't care...let's get it out of the way early.

MTK · 04-15-2009, 03:46 PM

I'd say it's the Cryboys that get their way with the league. 5 primetime games for a team that missed the playoffs? Give me a break.

And impressively, didn't really make a move to get better.

Keith Brooking will likely be an improvement over Zach Thomas, but Canty's loss is a bigger issue in their front seven. On top of that, Jay Ratliff and DeMarcus Ware both had career years. Roy Williams is somewhere between a mediocre No. 1 receiver, and total trash, depending on who you ask.

Any improvement the Cowboys make over next year will have to be with their running game and improved health on the OL. Because across the board, they are not as good as last year otherwise.

GTripp0012 · 04-15-2009, 03:53 PM

If we power-ranked the division right now, it would have to be something like:

1) Eagles
2) Redskins
3) Giants
4) Cowboys

The Giants, of course, could fill their offensive holes between now and the season. The gap between the Eagles and the Giants isn't very big right now, and no team is likely to win more than 11 games next year.

I'm sure some of the closet Giant fans won't appreciate this. Although, I must say that if the team does indeed draft Sanchez and we get rid of Campbell, you can put us in the basement with the Cowpukes.
