Not so much funny as SUX! I was there for that game last year. Yuck.

Of season is brutal (assuming teams are as strong as last year). If we can escape with a 3-4 record after week 7 we might have a shot at a wild card.

Only catch 1 team, Carolina, coming off of a bye, but catch 3 teams coming off of a thursday game on 10 days rest. I think you should only have to play one of each.

Prime time games can't begin to understand how that happened who wants to watch a 3-13 team?

To not know which day a game is going to be played on?

I mean I get flex scheduling, but you would think they would commit to a day if not a time. Fans who travel are impacted.

Is this unusual it have I missed that this happens with regularity?

Never liked playing a Monday night game in San Francisco.

Then this schedule may hasten the end of the "Eli regime".

I could see Eli starting all the games in the brutal first half of the season, but then when the Giants hit the 7 or 8 loss mark, there would be no reason not to play the rookie QB.

I think this is the first time in over 5 years that I really can't complain about the schedule. Seems very normal compared to the rest of the teams. Here's hoping to a good year!

Good Job

We play the Super Bowl champs/divisional rival on short rest:
Week 5: Sunday, Oct. 7 – at Carolina Panthers, 1:00 p.m.*
Week 6: Thursday, Oct. 11 – vs. Philadelphia Eagles, 8:20 p.m.

Monday night. I have a ticket(s) to this game but will have to take off a day and a half to go.


BOOOOOOOOOOO

...14-2!

4-5 wins pending next Thursday-Saturday. That schedule looks horrible but it's impossible to tell this far out who will rise and fall based on last year.

..that we don't play any back-to-back home games.

When's the last time that happened?

...7-9 to me.

Week 1: vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (L)
Week 2: at Dallas Cowboys (L)
Week 3: at Houston Texans (L)
Week 4: New Orleans Saints (W)
Week 5: at Carolina Panthers (L)
Week 6: Philadelphia Eagles (W)
Week 7: at Atlanta Falcons (L)
Week 8: vs. Washington Redskins (W)
Week 9: BYE
Week 10: at San Francisco 49ers (L)
Week 11: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (W)
Week 12: at Philadelphia Eagles (L)
Week 13: Chicago Bears (W)
Week 14: at Washington Redskins (L)
Week 15: vs. Tennessee Titans (L)
Week 16: at Indianapolis Colts (W)
Week 17: Dallas Cowboys (W)

is ridiculous. We have no clue how good any of these teams will be, but we go through this pointless excercise every year.

I agree. However, you could argue the teams with legit qbs will be formidable, therefore it's not out of the real of possibility (pending a qb injury) that the Giants could be a very middling team next season. I think 7-9 or 8-8 is a very distinct possibility. But a deep playoff run is unlikely. Yet another reason why I believe locking up the qb of the future at #2 is important.

Honestly, 2-6 going into the bye should be considered really playing well against that schedule.

Looked over second half.... It is only slightly better. Optimistically, assuming we manage a split with Dal and Wash, 4-12 is looking like a likely record for this squad. If they win 4.

...putting down wins and losses for a team I hardly recognize anymore. But if truth be told, I stretched for 7 wins.

A long, deep stretch!!! (:-(

10 - 6 with Barkley 7 - 9 without .

We have one of the most exciting players in the league and we aren't the jets and to minimize Sunday conflicts. A certain number of games need to be another day in primetime or Saturday
