2015 New York Giants Schedule

14-2, 15-1 if things break right.

Screw you NFL.

certainly looks good on paper.

Are you kidding me?? One 1 o clock game until December ?? Not to sound like an old fart because I'm 32 but there aren't gonna be many warm games on there

We will make the playoffs

Let's win some games.

You're gonna see a lot of prime time games.

-

That's odd

Hope this team can stay somewhat healthy leading up to then.

Dallas and then there are 4 very winnable games before we take on the Eagles. This schedule could lead to a fast start

Monday night back to back.

and 10 games can be flexed?

Winnable DOES NOT mean easy

Go giants!! If they can play 500 ball w divisional wins early they will have a shot to finish real strong

Crazy

.

But on paper-ON PAPER-it looks manageable, provided you think offense takes step forward & Spags works his magic.

AFC East / NFC South really only have one team you expect to be a contender in the Patriots, and the weak stretch after the bye sets the stage for this team to end the season hot if they can stay healthy.

At least 11 wins. Ending in another Superbowl win.

-We have a week 11 bye.
-Five of our last six games are at 1pm.
-No West coast trips.
-Our two trips to Florida are in November & December.

But, there are a lot more winnable games outside the division this year as compared to the last two years. If we beat Washington twice and split the other two division series we're back in the playoffs.

PS I know how stupid it is to predict wins and losses on the second day of offseason workouts.

Once week one is done they might not need to get on a plane until November

In any scenario but 10 or 11 wins might be good enough.

Like that for some reason

quotes from Coughlin....
New York Giants 2015 Schedule Released - ( New Window )

Should be fun to watch OBJ play against Revis and Grimes in back to back weeks. So long as all players involved are healthy, this should be a good barometer of things to come for Odell

lot of prime time games. Two Mondays and two Sundays?

At least on paper. If we have an OL that's serviceable, we SHOULD make the playoffs. And yes, I know, every season is different. Hence "on paper".

Last 8..only 2 games vs div.

how has the NFL not addressed that?

Four night games in the first six?

Because I recent years we have sucked early and played stronger at the end of the season.

Would like some more 1 pm games, but like it.

already predicting wins and loses.

"Flexible scheduling" will be used in Weeks 11-17. Additionally, in Weeks 5-10, flexible scheduling may be used in no more than two weeks. In Weeks 5-16, the schedule lists the games tentatively set for Sunday Night Football on NBC. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game would be moved to an afternoon start time. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday, Saturday or Monday nights. A flexible scheduling move would be announced at least 12 days before the game. For Week 17, the Sunday night game will be announced no later than six days prior to January 3. The schedule does not list a Sunday night game in Week 17, but an afternoon game with playoff implications will be moved to that time slot. Flexible scheduling ensures quality match-ups in all Sunday time slots in those weeks and gives “surprise” teams a chance to play their way into prime time.

and you guys were complaining about losing

Could have done without the three night games on the road.

after the Patriots game (whose number we have) a nice late bye and only the Eagles present a possible challenge.

... One 1pm game (and Atlanta of all teams) before flexing? Really?

That just blows.

What a bs schedule for kickoff times

start. If we can pull two of those divisional games in the first 6 weeks we are sitting pretty.

just noticed the season start is pushed back a week this year.

The New England game isnt one of the night games... But pretty sure that's a national 425 game...

The only game we may have trouble with is the game vs. Patriots.

I'd like to go to the Tampa Bay game this year.

agreed. gives Dallas an advantage. rather play someone out of our division or someone we're likely to lose to anyway.

Are you kidding?

I have been a season ticket holder for 20+ years, this is one the best slates I have seen.

Dallas, NE, Jets in a row, Philly to close the season?

Curious what you were looking for, this is great as far as I am concerned.

its flex......

As STH all those flex games look like there are way more flexes than there used to be.

defensive depth chart. Bellichek will earn his defensive genius title this year.

I'm a season ticket holder and I don't feel "screwed" at all. 4 of our 8 home games are 1PM starts. Are people really expecting every home game for the Giants to start at 1PM? LOL, if so.

so be it. Some of those games are big match ups. (Eagles Week 17, Jets).

Maybe you don't work as both the Washington and 49ers games are at night and night games suck for those who work.

Suspension still looming. If he gets any games, we'll miss him Week 1. Many reports predict he'll get a six-game suspension, in which case his first game since Week 1 of the 2014 season will be our second Dallas meeting (rusty?). Could be a small, but beneficial aspect of the schedule. And Will Beatty sleeps a little a little better tonight ...

Dallas has their bye right before the second Giants game so they have two weeks to prepare.

about primetime games like Giant fans do.

Don't mean to be rude but staying up late at home is a lot different than sitting in a stadium at 11pm or later and driving home in traffic with work the next day.

As if Giants fans are the only fans who have to deal with night games..

if he receives a six game suspension. Cowboys bye is week 6.

Tampa at 4 and Miami a night game.

Great for tailgating. Don't have to start drinking at 10.

..as I feel our defense will be a work in progress early on. If we can come out of the gate 5-3 we could make a run at the Wild Card.

You could look at it like that. Or you can look at it that we'll be healthier early in the season.

There is only one game that will be really hard due to the schedule. The 2nd game against Dallas, we are on a short week after playing MNF, and they are on a bye.

Otherwise, it's pretty fair from a scheduling standpoint.

That is a level playing field. Acclimating our new old DC to his personnel and vice versa isn't.

travel to California..so hope its a good Omen

with after the bye. All 6 games look winable. . . of course assuming Tim Tebow is quarterbacking for the Eagles by Week 17. Heh heh.

and good at what she does too!!!

at a college stadium

how a team that finished 7-9 and 6-10 the last two years and will a play total of 10 prime time games the last two seasons

LOL....BBI has to have some members up in that area who will tell us how cold that gopher stadium is in late December

Not sure why giants2012 thinks I am unemployed, but typical BBI to attack the poster.

Easy to take a Friday off if needed, or suck it up for one day.

I love the Sunday night football tailgates, cando something else during the day and still enjoy the game later.

I was speaking from a "value" point of view, this is a pretty good slate.

Only questionable game would be the 12/20 game if they aren't doing well.

I have never gotten more texts from friends wanting to come to games as I did in the last 3 hours.

For the record, I am employed, as a high ranking exec of my company, maybe I can more easily take the day after a game off if I need to, but I don't view that as a negative.

I am keeping the first weekend of feb open...

Love this team, love the schedule.

• Week 3: Thursday, Sept. 24 – vs. Washington, 8:25 p.m.
• Week 4: Sunday, Oct. 4 – at Buffalo Bills, 1:00 p.m.

Should be 2-2 (L, W, W, L)


• Week 5: Sunday, Oct. 11 – vs. San Francisco 49ers, 8:30 p.m.
• Week 6: Monday, Oct. 19 – at Philadelphia Eagles, 8:30 p.m.

Should be 10-6 (L, W, W, W)

The Giants need to go no worse than 4-2 in the division (I have two wins against Wash and NYG home wins against Phil and Dal.

Except the Giants health in recent years is usually worse off..

wild card run is coming!

And possibly New Orleans

For that asswhipping we'll receive. They OWN us in that stadium. But I won't quit!!

In comment 12243330 Eric from BBI said:

Quote:

Four night games in the first six?

just nonsense!!!!

OBJ can have a historic year. I'm thinking 120 catches for 1800 yards and 20 TDS.

Great schedule. The Giants have their bye at exactly the midpoint of the season (including playoffs : ) )

and I think the Giants win at least 10 games.

I'll likely go. The Vikes will probably be out of it by then and it'll be plenty cold so I should be able to get great seat cheap.

This.

I don't care about the night games or when other teams have bye weeks. Just win 9+ games and get into the playoffs again. It's not a bad schedule at all. They can do it.

In comment 12243413 Sean said:

Agreed. Its a fucking disgrace.

Will the Giants step up and become a contender? Will teams like the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills become contenders or do they stay snakebit? There are many other variables that will ultimately determine the Giants final record, but if the Giants can beat those three teams, or take 2 of them, I think it will be a big factor as to whether they are a playoff team or not.
Of course the first part of the equation has to be the Giants becoming a better team, and I can see that happening with Eli in his second year of McAdoo's offense, Cruz coming back, better play from JPP, a healthier secondary, and the new players on defense.

TWO Divisional games in December. We have to do damage in the early part of the schedule.

Meant November/December

but as laid out(on paper, since it's about "when" you play them at varying points of the season) I'm liking this..

Have to get off to fast start with 4 of first 7 games NFC East games.

who live far from the stadium. This schedule is the most unbalanced schedule I've ever seen. I hate this schedule.

Except we play the Eagles better in Philly than at home.

Otoh, I go into each season relishing the home game down the stretch..

it has to be the beckham factor

weird that this team has so many problems with Philly.

Parcells did too.

Fassel kind of owned them.

Maybe so but we did not even have OBj yet before last years schedule came out and we had 5 prime time games after 2013 7-9 season, 2 prime time games i don't have a problem with like a previous poster mention we are horrible in prime time games especially against Philly.

with flex scheduling, it could be more than 5.

Guess you forgot last year at WAS among others.

It can go either way, I haven't seen a relationship between what time they play and win or loss.

I have to say I don't think that 2 primetime games, and 2 4pm games with the rest of the home games at 1 is that different than most years.

Guess it is unusual that they come closer together than usual but not by much.

I like your positive attitude but I can have no expectations of improvement until we address the serious deficiencies on our o-line.

But even during the Parcells years weird shit with Philly always seemed to happen..The blocked FGA in OT returned for winning TD, Banks had Cunningham sacked yet amazingly held his balance for what proved to be winning score..Just two examples off the top of my head

The OBJ is strong in this scheduling!

other than Dallas getting extra time before the second meeting and the heavy focus on night games early, this is a really favorable schedule. There are only three playoff teams on it (and one of those was Carolina).

If they have a losing record this year, the coaching staff will probably be gone.

Buffalo hotel already booked! Will be my first game since Eli's first start vs Falcons. Such a bullshit roughing the passer call at the end of that game, damn it!

I would look at the Giants schedule and individual games, and basically try to figure out how they could have a play off contending season, without having to win any of the tough games.

The 80's and the Eli era, have reinforced the understanding that good teams, championship teams, beat who they play, when they play them.

As a result, other than that I don't love prime time games, I don't pay too much attention to the schedule anymore.

Means nothing.

There is no concrete proof that two weeks off really makes a difference.

You guys worry about everything. If the Giants are good, they will win. IF they suck, they will struggle. The schedule isn't the enemy. This team needs to kick fucking ass again in 2015. Fuck this schedule shit and crying about night games and bye weeks and whatever else. The Giants won ten fucking road games in a row back in 2007. They beat the best teams to win each and every super bowl. The Giants do better when the schedule is tough.

I'm done making excuses. I give them a pass for the last 2.5 years--downward trends happen --but it's time for this franchise to win again. Get it the fuck done in 2015.

We haven't sucked in prime time in quite some time.

if you old fucks don't like the prime time slate, sell your tickets.

If you haven't made peace with the fact that many of the NYG home games will be at night then you never will. You're still surprised?

We could go back to the mid 90s when nobody gave a shit about this team and they were lucky to see one MNF game a year. Would you prefer that?

Put your tix on the ticket exchange and unload the terrible burden.

where the word "brutal" didn't come to mind.

but sometimes a bad schedule can turn brutal real quick and vice versa. The 2013 schedule turned out to be pretty manageable but the Giants were still terrible. IF that team had any talent they win 8-9 games in their sleep.

The Giants need to be the tough team on everyone elses schedule. Eli to BEckham is a good start they better be able to compliment those two and win games.

Football looks right in person and on TV when the games kick off at 4pm. All the people bitching that they want 1pm starts sound like my father in law, who seems to take more pride in getting off the golf course in three hours than he does in actually enjoying the round he just played.

game could be huge. That is a good team who I think will be fighting for a playoff spot.

The AFC East could have the 3 best defensive lines in football, so that should be a good challenge for the Giants. Hopefully the fact that most of those games are later is good; the o-line gets a chance to really work together as a unit.

Seems like the best road game to go to from a fan's perspective.... Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Dude you're not kidding. It seems half the people I know are in a rush to go nowhere. Even the FF draft I do every year, half the guys complain that it takes too long. Where the fuck do yo have to be that can't wait another 30 min?

Everyone's in a rush to go nowhere--especially in this part of the country. Fucking relax. I get why some hate the night games simply because it's gonna be a brutal wake up the next day but still, relax.

Colin Cowherd picked the Giants to win the division.

*

We had a 6-10 team alot of people calling this an "easy schedule" is wishful thinking in my book.

is when there should be concern. Would everybody be more happy if we sunk to jacksonville jaguar status where nobody on the planet gave a fuck about us? We're the new york fucking giants, we deserve to be in prime time, even after 2 atrocious seasons.

Reminds me of offensive pass interference against home colts by tim carter.

the most ... followed by Thu then by Mon ... and on Sunday, I LOVE 1:00 games ... toss up between Sun 4:00 versus Sun night

Every year it looks like an 8-8, +/-1 season?

in spags first yr with giants..the 3rd game was vs wash..and pivotal game for that run that yr.

must win 2 within division (1&7 Dallas, 3 Wash., 6 Philly) before the break, hopefully with at least a Dallas split. Atlanta, Buffalo, San Fran., New Orleans and Tampa Bay, can all be had, even maybe the SB champs at home if the footballs are all inflated. After break, Skins will be on the way to collapse, so will Jets; and Miami,Carolina and Minnesota, should be good for 2 of 3. Even with decent results we should stand at 9-5 going into final game at Philly. Could be a chance to hold the pattern,7-11-15. SB 42, 46, and on to 50. If Dallas can be taken by surprise in the opener, could be a walk in the park.

because we have a prime time passing duo in Beckham and Manning

Cowboys and Eagles that is for certain.
