The last time the Cowboys and Giants met, a trip to the NFC Championship Game was on the line. Now, 294 days later, they meet again. What has changed in the past 10 months?
Well, for the Giants, Michael Strahan retired, Osi Umenyiora suffered a season-ending injury, and Jeremy Shockey has been traded.
The Cowboys, on the other hand, have undergone a 10-month span with more twists and turns than a Seinfeld episode. It started with HBO’s Hard Knocks

$1,000,000 Says you're a giants fan. You're COMPLETELY biased. I wouldn't say they are trying to Salvage a season on the "brink". They Do have 5 wins. I wouldn't count them out quite yet.

Hey Shawn...thanks for reading the article. Actually, believe it or not, I'm a die-hard Dallas Cowboy fan. I just got back from the Dallas/Tampa Bay game (been to Texas Stadium 7 times). Maybe 'salvaging a season on the brink' was a bit strong, but I feel like they are in a very fragile place right now, even despite last weeks win and the 5-3 record. I think most realistic Dallas fans would agree that under the circumstances this is an extremely tall test.

I still believe this is the best division in football. I hate the fact that when certain divisions have one good week, and suddenly we are all clamoring towards that division. With that being said Dallas needs this win before the bye while the Giants need to prove that the one blemish they had against the Browns is just that, a small pimple. The Giants have one of the hardest schedule in a 3-4 week span including last week's win against the Steelers. The Giants are favored to win this game but if Dallas can protect Johnson which is such a tall task against the Giants, and if TO or Williams can take advantage of second year corner Aaron Ross (see Giants v Browns & Braylon Edwards) then Dallas can win. Either way it will be a good game.

Thanks for the feedback Neil...I agree, with all four teams still having a chance at making the playoffs this is the deepest division in the league.

The game is always intense and usually both teams are in it to the end. I expect no different from this game. The G-men are the fast track to a win if the Cowboys can't protect Johnson well enough you are correct about that but I am sure your O-line will be jacked up for this one. Looking foward to Sunday. Go G-Men!

You're right, Sunday can't get here fast enough! Dallas' O-line has really missed Kosier, that's funny b/c he was the last guy you thought of prior to this season. Either he's the glue that really helps that line groove or they have taken a mighty step back from last season. Thanks for reading.
