Dragon Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 The notion that we suck after the bye is no longer in effect. I think that's a stigma of Giants teams long gone. I'm not worried and fuck GB we fucked them up twice last year.. they don't scare us. The first midweek game is the first of the season and I think that's a plus for us as we get more time to prepare for our 2nd game... Not too worried about that 2nd midweek game either. Love the bye late in the season and even though we only have 1 monday nighter.. we have a few prime time games.. I never liked to wait till Monday for the game anyway. You didn't watch the Miami game last season? I don't remember who our opponent was in 2010, but during the regular season it seems like guys play nonchalantly following the bye. Personally I'm not worried about GB. I'm worried that we'll lose a game that we should very well win because of some bye week kryptonite that we seem to always fall victim to. I don't mind the opener, but the Panthers game bothers me simply because we have like 2 days to prepare and we've had recent trouble with them.

gmenroc Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I feel u. My thing about Carolina is the last 2 times we played them Matt Moore made us look like children and while he's not a world beater Newton is a very good qb. Also Steve Smith always seems to want to show off when he faces us. It was Carolina that we opened the new stadium against, wasn't it? First half was fairly close and we pretty much dominated the second half. Moore threw 3 picks that game and finished with a sub-40 QB rating. I had to look a little of that up, but I really think that we've improved since then and that despite Cam Newton, Carolina hasn't gotten that much better as their defense and running backs have fallen off a bit.

Storm Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 why do we always play the Saints, like every year, without fail? Why do we never draw the AFC West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly seems that way, doesn't it...though it's on a rotational basis. Hell, I'd take the AFC East too, with Buffalo, NY Jets, and Miami. It's somewhat relative though, because our division opponents get the same deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBLUE01 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Love all the night games! Me too, but that's mainly because I'm out west here. They start around 5-6p out here..... Perfect. My favorite start times are 2p....5p your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my games mixed up. For some reason I'm still seeing him throw 3tds against us (2009). My point is really that Carolina plays us tough and I just don't like seeing them on a short week. Not worried about their defense, just that we don't get enough time to prepare and drop a game that we should win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really could go 15-1 if they lose to Baltimore, maybe 16-0 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could care less though, they have no impact on us. I guess this means the Jets have a similar easy schedule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osi724dasack Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 yeah i am just jealous Yea I hear you on that lol. That's guaranteed playlets if we have the schedule. It's all good though, this tough schedule will battle test this team and if we make the playlets we will have earned it and we will be used to playing great teams. That's how i try to look at it.

The short turnaround is a concern, but I'm much happier having Carolina after that short time than having say, a division rival, Green Bay, the Saints, or another annually dominant team.

A nd the dolphins always play them tough That gets to what I find encouraging about the Giants schedule. There's so much change in the NFL from season to season that what looks like the toughest schedule at the start of the season, based on records from the prior year, is virtually guaranteed to NOT be the toughest schedule by the time they play the games.

My favorite start times are 2p....5p your time. I hate the night games. 1:00 is the best game time. BBQ up a good lunch, pop that first brew during the pregame. Celebrate a victory with a scotch and a cigar. 4:00 games i have to fight to stay sober until kickoff time... and the 8 or 9 starts, I have to get drunk a second time for and then get my ass up before 5am for work.

osi724dasack Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 NFC is just much better then the AFC. You know since 2001 only the Pats, Colts and Steelers have made the SB for the AFC??? Lol what a joke, meanwhile in the NFC the Giants are the only team to go twice in that span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
