[Brian Nemhauser] Giants become the 2nd straight team to get extra rest before traveling to Seattle. The Seahawks, meanwhile, will be coming off a short week when NYG comes to town and playing the 2nd of 3 games in 10 days. NFL schedule nonsense.

  1. First- I’m pretty sure it’s 11 days not 10.

    Second- 10 other teams have 3 games in the same amount of time over the course of the season. We need to stop clinging to this – 33% of the league is in the same boat.

  2. No team will ever use this as an excuse for a loss. All the mid to top tier teams deal with funky schedules multiple times a year. They’re are challenges with short and long rest. Much like dealing with the noise at Lumen, all the teams have had years to figure out how to best deal with it.

    We’ll get our own extra rest after SF on Thursday (With no traveling that night). We get to have a late season bye for once. We’ll be fine. If you don’t want to deal with this kind of stuff. Be a Colts fan.

  3. Don’t sleep on the Giants.They have a good pass pro. Jones is prone to about 7 mistakes a game though…depends on how healthy we are by then

  4. That’s fine. Danny dimes is going to need that extra rest when his soul leaves him after taking multiple sacks during the game.

  5. Yeah, loads of that on this schedule. Other teams getting too rest more than we do coming into the game. I think only the whiners have it worse.

    This years schedule is still leaps and bounds easier than last year’s though.

  6. We’re playing 4 teams coming off TNF this year, and 2 coming off bye weeks. It’s pretty brutal.

  7. you wanna talk about the schedulers – i just read today, but havent verified, that the game tonight is the 1st time in dallas history to have to play after a short week

  8. We’ve had an easy schedule until now. We can’t have it easy all season. That being said, less rest between games equals more inevitable injuries

  9. Everyone is playing on short week at some point. I’d rather be playing the Giants on ours rather than really any other team left on our schedule.

  10. If they can’t beat Daniel Jones at home, they’ve got bigger problems than the schedule. No excuses.

  11. Thursday night football should always come after a bye week. I don’t know why this isn’t a thing.
