Let’s take an early look at the potential quirks and issues the Giants may have to navigate once their schedule becomes reality.
Heck, we have known for years that the Giants would be facing the AFC East and NFC West this season, meaning we knew the bulk of the 2023 opponents well in advance of this week’s release of the full NFL schedule.Suddenly, seeing the exact order of each team’s 17-game slate will allow fans and media members to proclaim, “This is an extremely difficult schedule,’’ or, “There’s no excuse for not making the playoffs with this soft schedule.
The Giants were 1-5-1 against the NFC East last season, and have the Eagles to thank for three of those losses.The flip side is how the Giants fared outside their conference in 2022: They went 5-0 with a clean sweep of the four teams in the AFC South — Texans, Colts, Jaguars and Titans — plus. It was the Giants’ first perfect interconference record since 2011, when they went 4-0 and, as we all know, went on to win the Super Bowl.
The Giants made a request to the league that two of these games be scheduled in back-to-back weeks, allowing for the opportunity for the team to stay out west between these games to avoid having three separate cross-country round trips. Expect that to happen. If it does, look for the Giants to try to stay in the Phoenix area, where they could practice at Arizona State, if the Cardinals game is a part of the back-to-backs.
This season, expectations are higher for the Giants, and they figure to be assigned two or three primetime games. The Jets, though,— have you heard they traded for Aaron Rodgers? But the more given to the Jets could mean fewer for the Giants because the appetite nationally for New York-area teams is not unlimited.
The Giants had to play a home game on Rosh Hashanah last year, and lost to the Cowboys despite a rushing touchdown by Saquon Barkley.“I acknowledge that,” Howard Katz, the NFL’s senior vice president of broadcasting and the leader of the group that puts together the schedule, told The Post last year. “But this is on me, this is not on John Mara. There are flaws in every schedule. We’ve never seen a perfect schedule. This was a flaw.
