yeah, the east did just kind of open up. i think winning 4 games in division is pretty doable with the state of the other teams right now.
this game is winnable, we just have to avoid old habits.

Big trap game though. I'm not going to make a prediction this week. Just hopeful for a win
"Trap" game? We haven't beaten the Giants in forever. This isn't a trap game it's a NFC East game that we have to win if you think this year is going to be different. In fact, if this team can win the next two I will get a little excited this year.
As of now I'm happy for the win but until we actually win a few games in a row I won't believe we have turned it around.
Love the new style of smash mouth ball on offense and defense. But I need to see more than two weeks

The East has been a really interesting division for the past four years--not only was the champion different every year, but all four teams have won it in four years. Very open.

It's all about who recovers the fastest in these Thursday Night games

Teams playing road games on Thursday night on a short week in a city with two NFL teams and home to a current presidential candidate are 6-31-1 against the spread.
It is a huge trap game.
That being said, we are going to win.
They have a banged up DL, and injuries at LB and CB. I think we will move the ball similar to the previous weeks, keep it close and win a tight one.
I will also predict our D keeps Larry Donnell's name from being mentioned as a pro bowl TE. Polar opposite of last year.
That first sentence was the most ESPN out of nowhere stat I have ever read on this site.

It's a trap game, for sure. Giants usually play us well, and we have underperformed in primetime recently (which is why we have very few primetime games now).
However, the past two games were pretty consistent for us. Good D, Good run game, O+Dlines playing well, and a QB managing the game. The Giants currently are ranked #31 in defense and we're -- #1. If we just play like we've been playing, and get some good QB play -- we may be more competitive in years past.
Will be fun to watch, first time I can say that in a while..

I pray that it was sarcasm.. If not who tf thought of that was relevant to track??
My guess is it is just the all time record of the away team on Thursday night.

I can't buy a division game being a trap game. Maybe if this was week 10 and the it was a 8-2 team going against a 3-7 team, but it's only week 3, there should be no heir of arrogance developed by any team yet, let alone one that is coming off a 4-12 season.
Doesn't mean we won't lay an egg or lose. I think we match up well with the NYG on paper, and with what we do well versus what they do well, however for two weeks in a row this team has also dominated their opponent statistically but the games themselves ended up being close.
I think instead of a trap, I am more worried about how these guys perform in primetime slot against a veteran QB who while is hot & cold, is still crafty and often finds way to win. Week 3 is early in the season for a team like this to have the spotlight shined on them.
