Giants lost. It doesn’t matter as much as one might think. An early loss does much to put the ballclub in an ‘us against the world’ position. The team responds well to that. They don’t respond as well to major injury problems. The real loss tonight was not to the Cowboys but to the secondary. Another Giant went down, reducing an already hurting secondary to shambles. There is nobody left.
My fantasy season started out with as many gaffes as the Cowboy’s O-line. I false-started two times, assuming I had started the Giants D vs. DAL as well as Martellus Bennett. No such luck. I started the 49r’s D vs. Pass-happy Green Bay and a very angry Cedric Benson. Instead of Bennett who caught for 40 yds and a TD, I started Jets TE Dustin Keller who may or may not play.
There is no fantasy pre-season, so I get to make my mistakes when they count. Unfortunately, Giants RB David Wilson and the rest of the ‘hands’ team did the same. The result doesn’t look too good.
