@ Cowboys Stadium
NFL WEEK 8
NFC East
N.Y. G-MEN BLUE @ Jerry's House vs the COWBOYS
G-MEN to Win: First the Offensive Numbers...29.3 ppg (4th), 295.3 Yds Passing (3rd), 116.3 Rush Yds (12th), and 411.6 Total Yds (2nd). Look these are clearly not those Opening Night G-Men from September and they have gone 5-1 since the 'Boys beat them. G-Men QB Super Eli hasn't even ha his Option 1B in the Passing Game WR Hakeem Nicks and he is still putting up crazy numbers. RB Ahmad Bradshaw has been Solid along with RBs Andre Brown and Beamer Ball Rookie RB David Wilson. The Giants also find themselves a TE in Cowboys Cast Off Martellus Bennett.
Defensively the G-Men do what they do because of a Top 3 Front in all of Sunday. DT Justin Tuck along with DEs J.P.P. and Osi are dominant at times and the Cowboys will have to control the Line of Scrimmage to have any shot. The Back End is a little Banged Up as FS Kenny Phillips is a Game-Time Decision. They need to stop the 'Boy Run Game and make Romo make plays with his Arm. No Balanced Attack is in the G-Men's Favor.
'BOYS to Win: The Offensive Numbers don't tell the Real Story as the 'Boys under the "Romo Watch" has always had Glitches and Power Outages from Series to Series, Frame to Frame, and Game to Game. This Season is no different as they are only averaging 18.3 ppg on Offense and that is 25th on Sunday. That Points per is a misleading Number when you look at the Passing Yards per game at 277.7 (7th) and the Total Yards per Outing at 374.8 Yards per Game. That lands in the Top 10 as well. With the Cowboys and most Teams its all about the Red Zone Efficiency and the #rd Down Conversion rate and that's where the 'Boys need Work. No RB DeMarco Murray in this one but Former 1st Round Pick Felix Jones is more than Capable. WRs Bryant, Austin, and Ogeltree must be able to make Plays down field. TE Witten isn't what he use to be but a 75% Witten is better than 85% of the TEs on Sunday.Defensively they must get after Eli and get him off his Rhythm. DEs DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer must get pressure on Eli not just on 3rd Down but throughout the Game. We will also see effects of the 'Boys D without Star MLB and Defensive Play-Caller Sean Lee of Happy Valley PA. The Secondary for the most Part has played well and Rookie CB Morris Claiborne has been electric and is as good as advertised. Can the 'Noys stop the Giants Run Game and force Eli to go somewhere else than WR Cruz has to be the Top Things on the Cowboys Defense To-Do-List.
Winner: GIANTS 31-27 as the loss of DeMarco Murray and Sean Lee is Huge in this one...
