Living in the DC area, we don't get that many Giants games and I hate to waste one that we're guaranteed to get (playing the Skins) and having it be on primetime. If the Giants were playing another team T'giving night, I'd get to see them play AND still have the two Giants-Skins games. Ugh.
Give me the early game at least if we have to play on Thanksgiving.
Guessing our bye will be the week before. If we do play Det the following Thursday that will be 3 straight weeks with no football on Sunday. No sir, I don't like it.
I suppose as a father of a one-year old I should enjoy prime time games now, since the kiddo will be sleeping while the game is on and I can watch it distraction free. Still, kinda bummed. I like my Sunday afternoon games.

Living in the DC area, we're usually good with getting 10 games shown locally, including the two Redskins games.
The years when the Giants play the Redskins in Prime Time, really limits us to only 8 or 9 games shown locally here in DC.
But if you are going to have an away game on short rest...I am glad it is a divisional opponent. Prep is easier and the travel is easy to Philly or DC. If they indeed play the following Thursday....that gives them a nice break leading into the final stretch of games. Hopefully it will be Philly or Dallas on 10 days rest. And I hope the bye is in the later part of October following a west coast swing.
Giants usually have about 5 Prime Time games shown nationally on ESPN, NBC and NFLN\CBS.
We then have the two Giants\Redskins games and the years where they play the AFC North, we get the Ravens game too.
Outside of that, the weeks the Redskins are on BYE or play on Prime Time, the Giants game has a good shot at being shown live on Sunday afternoons. Usually get 3 or so games that way.
That's usually the normal schedule, although the years where the Giants play the Redskins on Prime Time, really hurt that number, as that usually eliminates two extra opportunities to watch them during that season.
Not possible as teams are required to play 1 Thursday following a Sunday game.id guess we will have our bye following b 2 b west coast games in weeks 4 and 5

I guess that's only fair, but it would be better if it were possible to ensure that all teams playing on Thursday night had the previous Sunday off. Thursday Nigh Football is one of the best examples of the league's hypocrisy when it comes to player health.
Don't drink and thanksgiving food is overrated. Perfect for me to attend.
this is outright yute-full blasphemy!
It was cold and the Giants had a total of 38 yds in the first half.
Lost 26-6
What a mess of a game and season.

Yup...really ruined a great Thanksgiving Day...hopefully things will be different this time around.

Better than 2 TNF scattered through the season. At least the 2nd game will be on a 'normal' schedule.
Hopefully we then get Dallas or Philly on 10 days rest!
Route 9 : 8:05 am : link : reply
I'd rather pizza and more pizza
PREACH, SISTER!!
Plus the full week between games will be huge for the Giants, plus the 10 days off.
Should be ready to rock and roll!!!
LET'S GO!!!!!

I think a rumor is they'd play at home the very next Thursday vs Detroit, so in essence, they'll get F'ed with no 10 day break.

Makes the Thanksgetting festivities that much sweeter and now I have a real reason to watch football that day.
2 Thursday Games????

yeah, but wouldn't they get the 10 days after the Detroit game? That's what i'm referring to.
Unless they're playing every thursday from Thanksgiving on, I'm pretty sure they'll get a 10 day break.
