What do the hosts say about the Giants’ dominant win over the Cowboys?
Welcome to the Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Hypens and I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Quarlbeck. And the New York Giants are undefeated. And other things from week one of the NFL season, football is here. It's happening. And Danny Kelly, the Giants have never lost under John Harbaugh. It's never happened.
I gotta say, masterful job with the reverse jinx. All that talk about Dak Prescott beating the Giants every single time, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Expertly done by you. The Giants absolutely dominated this game dominated this game. I can't wait to talk about how lackluster the j the cowboys looked in this game.
Well, we could go a couple ways with this. One, DK, do you think Hyfitz has been reverse jinxing for months? Because I feel like in May and June. All of us collectively were like If you have to pick who the who the twenty twenty five Patriots of this year are. No, we were like the Giants are gonna be great. Oh,
right. We were like Dart
looked good, like they're the next they have the defensive line, neighbors is coming back, Dart. And then we kind of completely got off them because Harbaugh had an embarrassing speech where he seemed senile. Right. That whole thing. Yes. And the question I would ask to you, DK, is the classic question. Better win for the Giants or worse loss for the Cowboys?
I think I have to oh my gosh, that's actually really hard because the Giants the dude, the Cowboys look horrific today. I would say better win for the Giants. Exercise the Demons. I mean, there's just so many things to feel good about if you're the Giants right now. Like Cam Scadway looked great. Isaiah Likely looks like an absolute game changer. Jackson Dart was totally efficient. Uh the offensive play calling tandem uh of uh Greg Roman and Matt Nagy like absolutely picked apart. Picked apart. The cowboys. Cowboys. Harbaugh didn't make a really embarrassing speech, at least that I saw yet. Maybe the maybe that'll be coming later. Um but yeah. That was
the other Harbaugh who had an embarrassing presser today.
Right. Uh and then neighbors look great too. So like just all good things for the Giants. I said it was a very good win for them, uh you know, exercising the demons and not being able to beat the cowboys for a very long time.
I think it was the biggest eight point blowout I've ever seen in my life.
Seriously. Yeah.
The you the this bot the this game was never more than two scores apart. It was never more than 14 points apart. And yet this game felt like it was 40 to seven, the way that the the e individual units looked on the field. I have never seen more open pass catchers in my life than when the with the the Giants receivers and tight ends against Dallas. This is the
best. We we are filibustering Hyfets right now. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, that's good. Let's just not let he'll he'll come in in the next segment. Let's just not let he'll he'll come in in the next segment.
Don't let him. I like I I almost like at the beginning of the game I was like so uh heavy on the Giants, being like the Giants look unbelievable and I still feel that way and I'm like ready to say the Giants are gonna make the playoffs 'cause I think they look really, really good. I'll just pick them to win the NFC East. I don't give a fuck. But Once once Collinsworth was like, Yeah, the Cowboys, uh, they don't have a game plan for throwing it out to the flat. And then the next play, they threw it again in a row flat to Devon Singletary for a touchdown. I was like, Oh, this might be the worst defense in the league.
Yeah. Hiffus, I'm gonna let you talk. Go. Go ahead. What do you think? And now for things and now for conveniently timed advertising, brand. God damn it. This episode is presented by Verizon. Let me tell you all about Verizon's new simplicity plan. You get one plan, one price, just $30 a line per month, even for a single line. So while everyone is running four trade analyzers before offering a backup tight end, Verizon said, one plan, one price. Sometimes the simplest move is the best one, like the Simplicity plan.
