WAS plays us twice in a row

LittleBlue : 12/4/2022 12:51 pm
I knew we played them twice in three weeks, but I hadn’t realized they had a bye in between, so they play back to back games against us. Has that ever happened before in the regular season?

It's a flaw in scheduling to have one team play the same team twice in a row with a bye in between, giving them essentially three weeks straight to solely focus on one team.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Almost a full month will go by with WAS only thinking about the Giants.
Back-to-Back Games

In the 1960's, it was not uncommon on see two teams play back-to-back games (home-and-away).

Back then, there were fewer games, fewer teams, no divisions (just two conferences), and no playoffs (just the NFL Championship Game).

I remember the Giants and Eagles playing each other on consecutive Sundays.

plenty of time to figure out how to stop the pitch to Barkley.

Sarcasm off.
Some bullshit, right?

And don't think the Eagles won't wear us out...
