Dang the Cowboys are losing players like crazy either from suspension or injury now their starting middle linebacker Anthony Hitchens is probably done for the year
It's very early obviously, but Dallas still looks like the best team in the division, I am sad to say.
Philly does look improved, but not improved enough to likely win the division or make the playoffs. I guess it all depends on the corner play. The rest of the defense actually looks to be playoff caliber.
As I watched the game with some fans from both clubs one thing stood out with the Giants. Before the half ended with Philly was up 7-0 zero I said to the Giant fans kick the FG to end the half. Of course I got people saying to me what are you nuts? There at the one. My responses was its only the 2nd qtr. Go into the half with points on the board. They are only down 7-0. It looks like its going to be a tight game. Result NYG got stopped and had zero points going into halftime. Of course there were arguments on whether or not to go for it. I just hate when teams take points of the e board in the 1st half.
Then the same exact situation happened in the 3rd qtr and they went for it again on 4th down. Down 14-0. Should have been 14-6 before the Giants offensive explosion. Even at 14-3 there was plenty of time for the Giants to get back in the game with the defense they have. Then the game became back and forth and the Eagles won it with a lucky 61 yard Fg sending the Giants to 0-3. I then started to explain my reasoning to Giants fans on why its so important to take points early. Of course there weren't in good moods but understood on why you take easy points while you can early in games. Even in the 3rd qtr. If the NYG kick those two FG's I think they would of won this game. Now they are in a huge hole.
Another fun day at the sports bar. A lot of pissed off people. Of course I was the voice of reason. lol
Welp, as a Giants fan it is time for me to step up and be accountable....we suck. And I actually thought this team might have been a SuperBowl contender. I couldn't have been more wrong.
So now what do i do? As far as the division goes, I've always hated the Redskins the least of the rest of them. I don;t hate Philly as much as I used to , but my disdain for the Cowboys runs deep, so i guess it would be the least painful for me to see Washington win the division.....Hail to the Redskins!!
