Giants fans are depressed after last week's drubbing. That ratio would probably be much different if they actually played a solid game or won.
Although, I've never noticed a large contingent of fans from our divisional rivals infiltrating Cowboys Stadium. The stadium is usually overrun when we play another notable team outside the division.

Welcome to AT&T Stadium

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Welcome to AT&T Stadium where the Dallas Cowboys are looking to continue their hot start with a win against the New York Giants.
The Cowboys are looking for their sixth straight win, which would be their longest since winning seven straight in 2007. A win would push the Cowboys to 6-1 for the first time since 2007 and the 10th time in franchise history.
The Giants have had their fair share of success at AT&T Stadium, winning their first four games at the $1.2 billion stadium, but the Cowboys stopped the streak last year with a 36-31 win top open the 2013 season.
Still the same: For the first time this season the Cowboys will break in a new offensive lineman with Jermey Parnell starting at right tackle with Doug Free out with a small fracture of his right foot.
The Cowboys allowed Parnell to compete with Free for the job in 2013, but Free was the clear winner and has played well the last two seasons. Now Parnell, who has started two games in his career, will get his first chance at sustained playing time with Free expected to miss three to four weeks.
The Cowboys have been a dominant running team, led by DeMarco Murray’s 785 yards. The line has done a great opening holes for Murray and protecting Tony Romo. He has been sacked three times in the last four games after getting sacked seven times in the first two.
“We have a lot of confidence in Jermey,” passing game coordinator Scott Linehan said. “He’s played a lot of games and played well and had a really good preseason for us. We’re not changing anything that we do necessarily for him or anybody else. Hopefully we can just execute what we call. A lot of times we go into a game and regardless whether Doug’s there or not, we’re going to have a plan for their personnel. They’ve got really, really good defensive players, great defensive front, so we’ve got a big challenge and it’s not just theirs. If you focus on that, then you’re going to come up short somewhere else.”
A new look: Eli Manning has made 20 straight starts against the Cowboys in his career all while running the same offense. He put up 5,044 yards with 40 touchdown passes and 22 interceptions against the Cowboys, posting an 11-9 record in the regular season and playoffs.
This year the Giants have switched offensive coordinators and schemes with Ben McAdoo bringing the Green Bay Packers' offense with him.
This Manning looks different than that Manning. He is completing 65.1 percent of his passes, which would be a career high, and has 1,325 yards to go with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. He has also been sacked 13 times.
“It’s a lot of three steps with the guy coming from Green Bay,” safety Barry Church said. “He likes to run a lot of slants and under routes and gets the slot involved. Our underneath zone coverages are going to have to be strong against them. Eli, he can pick you apart if he knows what you’re doing pre-snap.
The ref: Jerome Boger is the referee for today’s game. The Cowboys lost both games he worked last year. Here is a breakdown of Boger’s crew from their game last week.

Never has been a big contingent of Giant fans attending the game in Dallas. There are some transplants from the Northeast who are Giants fans but it's not very large.

Play design sets up Rodgers to lead deep receivers across the field instead of always over their shoulders. Makes it much easier for the WR's to adjust.

Seattle's defensive line isn't what it was last year. Clearly. They are smaller and less physical. The Hawks also have the shittiest passing game among last year's playoff teams. On top of it they aren't a great road team.
Looks like SF, with their running game, have it made as division champs. I have a feeling Arizona won't sustain.

Griffin just blew that play with a horrible angle.
