looks good for 12-4 imo

before we play our first home div game? Weird.

following a home game against the Texans. That's not bad. Relatively easy travel, and an opponent the team is very familiar with.

There's really only 2 or 3 games in that schedule that could be considered "should be" wins.
That's figuring Hou. & Atl. aren't going to be near as bad as last year.

Damned wedding on a Sunday, gah.

what we have so far....

swap the at/home philly and you got it

Seahawks on a short week following the Colts,and in Seattle is going to be rough trip across the country in a very tough stadium.

Playing them on Thu, Sat, Sun or Monday is going to be a tough task. Would be worse if the had to play them after SF

At least then they have their normal routine of practice then travel.

Now it's a MNF game then prepare to Seattle.

along with that 4 week stretch after the bye. They better take care of business in the first half of the season

Rather them later in the year but whatever.

3 of the last 5 are on the road and the 3 that are on the road are shitty teams in Jacksonville, Tennessee and St. Louis

is not clear...some have it at Philly, others have it home.

The Giants would play 4 out of last 5 on the road.

Unless it's mine indeed...

I didn't win that "Saturday is a perfectly good time to avoid WEEK 17 and ignore the 50% cost increase!" fight.

Giants/Eagles with playoff implications will have to be the SNF game, so at least I have that in my favor.

Doesn't it always alternate home/away year by year within the NFCE.

Monday, Sept. 8: at Detroit, 7:10 p.m.
Sunday, Sept. 14: vs. Cardinals
Sunday, Sept. 21: vs. Texans
Thursday, Sept. 25: at Washington, 8:30 p.m.
Sunday, Oct. 5: vs. Falcons
Sunday, Oct. 12: at Philadelphia, 8:30 p.m.
Sunday, Oct. 19: at Dallas
Sunday, Oct 26: Bye
Monday, Nov. 3: vs. Colts, 8:30 p.m.
Sunday, Nov. 9: at Seattle
Sunday, Nov. 16: vs. 49ers
Sunday, Nov. 23: vs. Cowboys, 8:30 p.m.
Sunday, Nov. 30: at Jacksonville
Sunday, Dec. 7: at Tennessee
Sunday, Dec. 14: vs. Redskins
Sunday, Dec. 21: at St. Louis
Sunday, Dec. 28: vs. Eagles

the thursday of rosh hashanah seems like a bad oversight

No. We play Dallas in Dallas first almost every year.

Five national games?

That ain't on merit.

correct, we get all three NFC East games over with ON THE ROAD..If so, that rocks!

We play in the first few weeks. A free agent like DRC looks potentially invaluable.

Sundays 1pm for Giants games every week!

On Thanksgiving, they are the road team playing the Lions carried by CBS.

Love that.

Not necessarily true. Flex scheduling starting in week 5 includes games being able to move from 1 to 4 in addition to the SNF change. Notice that the only games scheduled at 4 after week 4 are ones that have to be b/c they are on the west coast... and the Jets/Giants are playing at the same time in several weeks, which we know won't happen.

Why can't the Giants and Jets play at the same time?

If you are suggesting both teams being at home on the same week, then you are wrong. The schedule doesn't have such a conflict.

don't want the ratings to be hurt in their biggest market.

Last week of the season I think the Giants and Jets both had 1pm games.

But your comment still may be their overall preference.

They rarely are ever on at the same time, last week of the season last year was a completely insignificant game so I'm sure that had something to do with it

twice in 2009 - once by the teams' request due to Yom Kippur and once due to the Giants being in Philly on the same day as the World Series.

the other 2 times were the final games of the past two seasons - seems like the league prefers to have meaningful games on at 4 everywhere + have teams competing for the same spot play at the same time where possible, so with the Giants out of it both years the league didn't care about their "preference" here.

Hopefully the Giants force a time change in Week 17 this year, as you suggested, by making it a meaningful game...
