2009 Season Outlook for the NY Giants
Posted on 11.04.09 2:51AM under Games
The New York Giants became one of 8 NFL teams to start the 2009 season with a 2-0 record after a big win against the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas on Sunday night.
This was a hyped up game in every sense of the word. Between the new stadium in Dallas, the Sunday Night Football status, and the fact that these teams have an enduring rivalry that seems to carry on with each season, this was a game that couldn’t be missed.
The Giants are in the NFC which is up for the taking, while there are a few teams that have opportunities to reach the Super Bowl, no team is head and shoulders above the rest this season.
In Week 2, the Giants gave it everything they had at Dallas. This was a game where one team would score, and the other would answer back with a touchdown or field goal of its own.
Perhaps the most impressive part about this game, aside from Eli Manning’s 4th quarter poise, was his use of his wide receivers. The Giants found themselves in a difficult position coming into the season.
The most important wins will be winning against the division rivals – this is because the NFC East division could possible end in a tie. For example, both the Giants and Eagles finish 11-5 – the tie breaker goes to who won the head to head meetings. Every game is so critical in the NFC East division and the Giants can not fall behind early in the season.
Eli Manning has grown up over the last couple of seasons and has become a leader on the field like his old brother – maybe not to the same extent but he is well respectable now. Eli Manning seems to play better on the road then at home, which can be a blessing or a curse, not quite sure.
The Giants are well coached and should be a factor in the NFC all year.
