......DOMINATION

     The GIANTS statistically dominated the hapless Cowboys last night on Monday Night Football in Dallas.  Here are the highlights:
Time of Possession: 37:31
Rush Yards: 200 vs. 41
Pass Yards: 300 vs. 213
First Downs: 25 vs. 14
And the Cowboys became the second team the New York Defense has held to ZERO third down conversions this seeason (Bears 0/13).  That is statistical domination.  It actually was a lot worse with about 5 minutes to go in the third quarter...but the big picture is just as bad.  The other stats that are scary for the great Cowboy defense is that DeMarcus Ware, Anthony Spencer, and Jay Ratliff each had no more than three tackles a piece.

The Giants offense showed how good it can be, and the Defense is simply dominant against the run, which lets them rush the passer effectively...A great formula.

The Giants have a bye week that will be used to heal a few nagging injuries, and for self-scout.  They will look to clean up a few details, make sure they are not too predictable from their different formations, and see what they can develop as more options.  Look for Ramses Barden and Travis Beckum to be more involved in the second half of the season.  The turnovers must stop for the GIANTS to go deep into the playoffs this year.  They need to stop the fumbles as best they can, and Eli must do a better job of being under control in the beginning of games, and while protecting the lead.  They are on the doorstep of being a great offensive force, but must stop the turnovers.

The punter, Matt Dodge, made great strides Monday night.  It has finally hit him that 70 yard punts aren't always the most desirable, but a 50 yarder that goes out of bounds is perfect.  Look for more of this in the coming weeks.

5-2...top in the NFC...Bye Week...long trip to Seattle, and then a return home to face the now Romoless Cowboys.

Enjoy the week off..........
