2026 Week One: Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants

We'll see I guess, it's been what 2 or 3 yrs now since he last played?

Yes, but he left the game injury free and stayed in shape. His job isn't as hard as being a QB. first 6 games, get the QB on passing downs. As the season goes on, work more into the run game. By the time they play the Cowboys, he will be at full force (assuming no injury).

Aubrey was off all game.

There might be something wrong due to coaching like maybe the speed of the snap, the way the holder holds, IDK, but all Aubrey needs to do is watch film of himself. He should be able to self-identify what he is personally doing wrong.

Dude nailed every kick during preseason except one I think, so I'm not sure how "off" he really was.

I need to see more than one game at this stadium to make a real determination.

Well according to Schotty it was "the young guys", guess not on that one.

Someone should inform him "the young guys" were mostly wearing blue.

Preseason was against scrubs. The rush wasn't as strong; hence, maybe the snap wasn't affected. Maybe the problem is the snapper. I really don't know. But he was off last night and there was no wind. Look at the weather report.

I think the weather report said the wind was at 2mph. That's nothing.

Giants are signing Phil Mafah

Watch Skattabo, Mafah, and that 300 pound FB that they actually use (what's the point of keeping a FB if you won't use him) are going to run all over the Cowboys.

As I stated last year, we need a 5 man DT rotation like we had under Jimmy.

If we lose to the Commanders, this is going to get ugly. The Raiders' price for Crosby just went up.

The NYG have a real coach. That's the story for me.

Now that is bad company. So glad we didn't end up with this clown...

There Isn't An NFL Season Without A Prescott INT Followed By His Blank Stare Looking At The Replay On The Scoreboard ​

 

[touchdown]

I just can't think of any sins I committed that deserve the Judgement of Dak (Regular season chameleon that can't perform in the Playoffs) Prescott!

We are already in a "must win" game. Ravens and Texans will be tough. Bucs might be a tough win, then Green Bay, then Philly. We might not see our first win until Week 8 against the Cardinals.

Teams will be calling us to see if we want to trade Pickens etc for picks instead of us calling the Raiders etc.

We have to win this Sunday and do it in a way that gives fans hope that we have a chance against these other teams that are coming up.

Just a boneheaded play for a guy with his experience. Take the sack. Get an intentional grounding penalty, punt!

The explainer quotes from the Coach today is all pablum that I've heard before.

"Adversity"

"Overcoming Adversity"

"We'll do better."

"It's just one game."

"It's a long season"

Here's a collection for takes from internet social media:

After the beat down we took you guys are talking about our kicker??? We have WAY bigger problems than Brandon Aubrey’s ability to hit a PAT. I’m not concerned one bit about Aubrey. The man does his job. How about Williams just handing the ball to the referee and not taunting the defenders. Might help a little bit.

Pretty much dissected the game in a nut shell. The one thing he mentioned that we really didn't discuss was the first possession, 4th and inches, and we tried to draw them offsides and just punted. No doubt it was a bad part of the field to go for it on 4th and short. But the Eagles would have made it with a tush push. Dak has been talking all off season about how great the offense is and we weren't confident that we could make a 4th and inches. Nor was the HC confident enough that his revamped D could hold the Giants if they didn't get the first. Coaching scared and that's contagious and spreads to the players.

They dont even need to consider trading for Crosby or really anyone else at this juncture.

If they would have won the game or played well and lost, I could see the reasoning. But the defense was SO BAD that getting one more premium player isnt going to fix it. After what we saw Sunday night the staff's system and game planning should seriously be scrutinized. They didnt do anything good on that side of the ball and frankly it caught the entire football world off-guard. Almost nobody believed the defense could be this bad again, and yet somehow it was.

In his defense, most NFL coaches don't go for it on 4th and short in that area of the field unless the game is on the line. It's a huge gamble and I doubt the guy coaching on the other sideline would have done anything different in that same situation there either.

Another factor is Prescott is not particularly great at running QB sneaks himself. When he was younger he had the athletic ability and leg power, but he is past that point IMO. Too many times he barely gets it.

There's a lot more we can all look at and easily criticize with how Schottenheimer and these coaches fared as opposed to this IMO
