Alert that it will be released 8pm Thursday on nfl network but I’m sure we will know much earlier then that. Also I have no use watching them break down the cowboys schedule for two hours like nfl network always does.
...with ill timed and conceived west coast trips despite having the 2nd worst record in the league...
Don't forget every week playing a team coming off a bye week like last year
Another person who thinks the league has it out for one of their top ratings draw
... So 5 straight road openers, when Dallas hosted 5 straight home openers. Giants won it all in 2011, so NFL had no choice. 4 of the previous 5 on road as well. Only one that wasnt? You guessed it, we hosted Skins because we won the SB and forced the NFL's hand.
The don't screw us, they abuse us as rating wh*res opening weekend, period.
open on the road? They still get 8 home games. People like to complain about everything.
I think its because there is a belief that a season can be lost in September again because of the concentration of road games early.
On the surface, one would deduce that having more home games in December would be a benefit if you can stabilize the season up until then.
The problem is that if your season is lost by October, what good is the late season home games?
So while the total is always the same, how those home/road games are built into the schedule can sometimes determine how you design your outlook for the season.
RE: RE: somehow we'll have a top 10 difficulty schedule... Â
If you lose you have 15 games and 5 division games to make up for it, and if you win the division rival is a week 2 loss away from being in serious trouble.
Yeah, the league wants to screw one of their top franchises
What's the difference?

how they do it a week before the draft wish it was last week
What's the difference?
There's so many weeks of nothing wish it was spread out more maybe if it was in late March..

If we have trips to the west coast this year, I'll be just fine with the timing, no matter what is.

Giants only have one road game past the Central Time Zone this season. (San Francisco)

Which is especially interesting considering how many times the Giants started 6-2 under Coughlin and then shit the bed over the final 8 games.
