Schedule does Giants no favors

08:03 AM ET 04.18 | The road to repeating starts in primetime, early and often, for Big Blue. Three [primetime games] come in the first four weeks of the season, making for a challenging opening stretch. There's also a very late bye -- after 10 games -- and a murderers' row stretch of games to finish the season that will surely test the mettle of a team that a year ago went 9-7 in the regular season. ... [The Giants] will play night games on Wednesday (the NFL opener against the Cowboys Sept. 5), Thursday (Sept. 20 at Carolina), Sunday (at Philadelphia Sept. 30 and again Nov. 25 against the Packers) and Monday (Dec. 13 at the Redskins). Based on last year's records, the Giants have the most difficult non-division schedule in the NFL.

I thought the Superbowl winner was supposed to get a tough schedule. Why is this a surprise to anyone?

Evidently, because it has something to do with a large market, we all should be in awe of this.

We've known what teams they'd play since the end of the regular season. It's a formula. The only mystery is what weeks and times the games are played.
They've also got 6 games against their NFC East rivals. All of those teams "struggled" last year, which is why the Giants were able to go to the playoffs at 9-7.

I'm in awe of a large market. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, and a big selection of bacon.

I'm sure the piles of money they earn will help alleviate some of their distress over this terrible tragedy.

Morning, I think. My body does not want to revert from Italian time. Maybe I should stop eating pasta every night and see if that helps.

Markets have to get bigger and bigger to hold all those different yogurt flavors. It takes a village to contain the dairy section.

I disagree. It was playing the AFC East division teams last year that made it possible for the Giants to go 9-7 .
Take that sweep of that division and the Giants are 5-7. Philly and Dallas are good teams. Philly very good really, just dysfunctional and it was the redskins who beat them twice.
That said, 8-8 sounds about right to me.
