Behind Enemy Lines: Cowboys-Giants rematch has NY media waving white flags?

After putting a shoe the size of Brian Daboll in his mouth in Week 1, has the Giants Wire editor come to his senses about the rematch? | From @KDDrummondNFL

New York City is a proud city with proud inhabitants, and it makes for fun banter anytime the Giants are on the Cowboys’ schedule. By fun, we mean delusional. Our enemy intel series, where we trade questions with the managing editor of the Dallas opponent for the week has brought some classic examples of a lack of self awareness. To a tee, every time we link up with Dan Benton, he has a ton of negatively skewed questions and euphoria-laced responses when we try to size each other’s teams up.

Has he learned his lesson? The Giants are struggling at 2-7 on the year, have lost their starting and backup quarterback and neither of them looked good anyway. The last time we spoke, Benton was highly confident Daniel Jones was the much better option to Dak Prescott, the Giants were on an elevator up and the Cowboys were in for a season of disapppointment. Then 40-0 happened. So we figured it’d be a good time to check in with Benton once again to see if his tune has changed from, well, this prior interview.

Excellent Intel: Cowboys-Ravens Week 13 dissection of 2 floundering franchises

One fanbase still holds Super Bowl aspirations, but are the Cowboys and Ravens in similar boats?

No blame shall be placed on Cowboys Nation if they are unaware that the Tuesday opponent is struggling almost as much as the road team. Yes, the Dallas Cowboys are going through a tough stretch, but so are their Week 13 opponents the Baltimore Ravens. While Dallas is on the outside looking… well, at the draft order, the Ravens are still on the precipice of a playoff opportunity.

Their deficiencies are masked by their overall record, but they are struggling mightily right now. To get the scoop on what is transpiring with the one of the two state teams that actually claims Maryland, we go in deep with Matthew Stevens, managing editor of Ravens Wire. His insight into the current condition of the club and the fan base is pretty intriguing.
