Lets talk Schedule?

shelovesnycsports : 2/17/2017 7:46 pm
Home Eagles Cowboys Redskins normal division games.

Seahawks Rams Lions Chargers Chiefs

Tough games Chiefs,Cowboys,Seahawks,

Games we should win. Eagles Redskins Rams Lions Chargers.

Now it gets tough

Road Eagles Cowboys Redskins 49ers Bucs Cardinals Raiders and Broncos.

Tough games Broncos Raiders Eagles Bucs
Games we should win 49ers Redskins Cardinals
Cowboys is toss up.

That is a tough schedule. Better hit a Home Run in FA and the Draft.

Dallas has the same sched except Greenbay instead of Detroit and Atlanta instead of the Bucs.
On Paper and nothing more,

It would appear that we catch a break against the Chiefs, Seahawks and Lions at home..
I'd bet a good amount of money we'll be opening in Dallas

No idea who gets injured, how injured a team is when we're supposed to play them, or how well they're playing leading up to our game.
Looks like (at worst)

6-2 at home and 4-4 on the road. 10-6. Not a bad floor. Get some breaks along the way and 12-4 isn't out of the question.
13 &

Giants at home opening MNF on 9/11

My guess
It could be a lot worse than 6-2 at home next year.  
Devon : 2/17/2017 10:55 pm : link
While I'm certainly not giving it back after years of failure and missing the playoffs, the success the Giants had last season didn't exactly scream repeatable and this offseason isn't going to be like last year's.

They could go back to the playoffs or go completely bust in 2017 and it wouldn't be at all surprising, regardless of how tough (it is) their schedule ends up being.

Nicely written. This is the reverse side of the slope. If they have a bad couple of months, the Gisnts can easily regress to where they were the prior three seasons. Retention and addition . Expansion of design by McAdoo. Formulaic football will not be sufficient during those road games. And the Cowboys will make the Giants their primary off-season study. I'm cautiously optimistic. I do think they're going to be more aggressive then you seem to think, Devon.

Not sure I buy this. The team won on the strength of its defense and I see no reason why that shouldn't be repeatable. The great secondary is in tact if and the with Apple in year 2 and the expected return of Thompson that it could be better. The best 2 DL are back with at least one of the FA DLs almost certain to return.

That with the reality that the have the FA dollars to add some key pieces to the O and I'm reasonably optimistic that they can take the next step.

Not buying either.

Thanks BB. I mean why is the Giants' success somehow less repeatable than any other team? The major pieces on D are still in place or have a good chance to be there next year. It's not like the quality of the defense was some fluke. We're talking about a D that had a half dozen pro bowl level players and will again next year with a little luck.

And the 11-5 record came from a team with a bad offense that has a top QB/WR tandem and some other pieces as well. What they lack they have the money to fix if FA breaks right. It's not like they don't have the resources to make improvements where needed. It may not work out but the the point being made was that the Giants' success didn't "scream repeatable". Well, maybe no one's does but I think the Giants have as good a chance as anyone for their success to be repeatable.

That nothing's a guarantee is a given and the posters might be ultimately correct..I, for one, see no logic in that thinking. Of course, you'd have to have confidence in the decision makers, which I do
