Cowboys/Giants

I just wanted to weigh in on a little debate that is going on out there in the sporting/cyber world.
Almost every sports site has the Cowboys ranked #1 in the power rankings, with the Giants “a very close second”. Foxsports.com even has the Giants ranked in first place with the Cowboys at #2.
Let’s look at the facts.
Both teams are 3-0, however the Cowboys beat the Browns, the Eagles, and the Packers, while the Giants have beaten the Redskins, the Rams, and the Bengals.
The combined record of the Cowboys’ opponents not including the three games against the Cowboys is 4-2. The combined record of the Giants’ opponents not including the three games against the Giants is 2-4. All three teams the Cowboys played were previously undefeated at the time the ‘boys played them, while all three opponents the Giants have faced were previously winless at the time the G-men played.
The Giants struggled against the virtually comotose Bengals while the only team the Cowboys struggled against was the Eagles. The Eagles, who blew out the Rams 38-3, and made the mighty Steelers, look like a sandlot team.

I know, I know, there is a thing to be said about chalk talk, and what actually happens on the field. And there is the old moniker, “that’s why they play the game.”
But anyone who ranks the Giants higher or even says the Giants are a “close second” is smoking something. The Giants may be the second best team, but the gap between #1 and #2 is bigger than the state of Texas. The Cowboys have a “pick your poison” offense.
Gonna double team T.O.? Fine, will just throw a 50 yard bomb to Austin.
Gonna double team Austin and T.O.? Meet Mister Witten.
Gonna send in all of your DB’s to stop T.O., Austin, and Witten? The Barbarian will just run it down your throat!
Think you can smash him up? Just try to catch Felix!
And don’t even think about getting past this offensive line!
And the Defense is no slouch either, as they showed Sunday night, giving Rodgers all kinds of fits, and sacking the extremely mobile quarterback 5 times! This finally looks like a classic Wade Phillips defense, and they’re going to give opposing offenses hell all year long.

Keyshawn Johnson came close to saying it last night on Sportscenter, and I think the way they made the Packers (who were supposed to win that game, by the way) look like they weren’t even playing in the same league, I think it’s time for us Cowboys fans to start thinking big. Like real big.
Not quite ready to say it yet… but: 16 and….

(By the way, don't let the lack of blowout wins frighten you. The Cowboys could have easily beaten the Browns by 4 or 5 touchdowns, and could've beaten the Packers by 3 or 4. Not all coaches believe in running up the score. *Cough.Bill Belichick.Cough*)
