Week 1 Giants – Cowboys
After an opening ceremony involving Super Bowl XXI MVP Phil Simms, Super Bowl XXV MVP Otis Anderson and All-Time Great Michael Strahan, the mood seemed to be set for the night, but in typical Giants fashion the defending Super Bowl Champions decided they had won already and instead were pushed around on both the offensive and defensive sides of the line of scrimmage due to lack of focus in my opinion. Tony Romo had a great night while having the better night of the two QB’s and found a new favorite target, for the night at least in Kevin Ogletree (New York Native) with 8 catches for 114 yds for 2 TDS. Eli Manning threw for 213 yds with no picks or tds while Victor Cruz had 3 drops. All in all the Cowboys put forth a better effort than the Giants. If Big Blue plans on making a serious push to repeat as Champions of the NFL they must practice harder and to be ready on game day and not treat anyone as a lesser opponent. Now i realize this was just Week 1 and...

New York Giants' Tom Coughlin to His Players: "Take a Bite out of Humble Pie"
The New York Giants went from winning six games in a row on their road to a Super Bowl Championship, to opening the new season with a loss at home to the division rival Dallas Cowboys.

Juan Man’s View: Martellus Bennett
I do look like a unicorn Juan…
The Black Unicorn has arrived. The Giants were lacking a TE this season when Jake Ballard was put on waivers and swooped up by the TE whores in New England. The Giants backfired with Ballard, but may have found gold with Bennett.
Eli Manning has not had a athletic TE since Shockey was traded to New Orleans. He has possibly found his man. ...

Giants need to get act together after dismal start
The Super Bowl champion New York Giants aren't dealing with a loss of confidence after getting drubbed by the Dallas Cowboys in the kickoff to the NFL season, just a newfound sense of urgency.
For the most part, the mistakes the Giants made in the 24-17 loss Wednesday night were correctable.
What concerned Tom Coughlin was his players' approach. They didn't practice...

So Why Couldn’t Eli Manning & His N.Y. Giants Beat The Cowboys?
Eli Manning looked pretty good when his Giants took on the Dallas Cowboys. Manning went 21/32 for 213 yards and only 1 touchdown, not the typical Eli Manning type of game, but hey it is the season opener. It is clear the New York Giants have a few bugs to work out. The Cowboys defense was able to get to Manning for 3 sacks. While the Giants rushing game looked just OK, the team needs...

TweetNew York Giants rookie RB David Wilson crying after a fumble during season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
Apparently there is no crying in baseball but there is in football. Wilson is a very good athlete with a lot of potential but had a fumble filled college career, 1 fumble for every 48 carries. I kid this young man with the Tom Hanks line from "League of Their Own...
New York Giants: Defending Super Bowl Champs Prove Defenseless
As an avid Eagles fan, I usually watch these Giants vs. Cowboys games with nonchalance hoping everybody sucks, but this game was different -- I was looking for a hero amongst a den of enemies. Not an easy feat for a Philadelphia fan, but mission accomplished. Between DeMarcus Ware's 100th and 101st sacks, and the Dallas defense practically shutting down the Giants' run...

Breaking down the Giants last night
After last night's debacle of the Giants losing their season opener to the Cowboys.
There was a lot of concern on both sides of the ball including the secondary and the running game.
First the secondary, there had no answers on stopping Kevin Olgetree and Dez Bryant as those two had their ways with Corey Webster, Michael Coe and Justin Tryon.
Secondly, there was no flow in...
