That the Giants get to play the Eagles twice without McFlabb and several starters and when they have no chance of making the playoffs as well as the Oakland Raiders in the final week who have no shot at playing in the postseason and have decided to play their backup QB now..

Not to mention they got an extra home game.
And it was against the worst team in the NFC South (New Orleans) meanwhile we got matched up with the best (Carolina).

Things are falling in place for them as the iggles might just have mailed this season in...

oh... and PLEASE don't mention the extra home game...

I think it was Sheman on FoxSports on XM last night said that Jones, Lurie and Snyder are quietly fuming that the NYFG got an extra home game...

Never heard of any other team in the history of football getting 9 regular season home games.

They got a good draw, the way it played out. But on the other hand, they play 3 of 4 on the road, and they've sucked on the road all year.

Did the gints get to keep all the revenue from the game ( tix and concessions) or did some of it go to the saints?

Exactly. I could see them having a little better team but a worse record next year.

At Carolina, home vs. New Orleans. What's the difference, really?

Philly with McNabb when they were 3-1, or without when they are 4-11, what's the difference?

The Giants didn't get any breaks.

The Saints got the home team share of the ticket revenue, the Giants got the road team share. As for parking and concessions at Giants Stadium (which almost certainly topped $1 million) I never heard anything. I know there were donation stations set up outside the stadium and the Giants pledged to match whatever was collected. The $1 million probably helped toward that.

Even if they ended up losing a little money that week, it was more than worth it for the extra home game. Not even a division leader would prefer to play on the road, and as division leaders go, the Giants are a horrible road team. An eighth road game would have almost certainly meant another road loss.

The Giants are 1-3 on the road this season.

Yeah, but after we win the division, we will be saying. Hey Giants, you even had an extra home game and still couldn't win the Divison. Just the opposite of how we will feel if we lose by 1 game. No, it's not right, but we can't do anything about it. Just like Pittsburgh couldn't change the coin flip in Detroit.

I know I was glad the GB beat SF that year. Remember the year before the 9ers got us good.

1) Philly likely will play with pride next week-with it being a div matchup et al.

2) I'd take ANYONE over Kerry Collins-and yes, that includes our own Drew Scarecrow.

3) The Saints generally look like Super Bowl contenders early in the season, then fall into pretenders land late.

4) However-we lost three games this year due to our kicking game-I'd rather have those games BACK rather than fret over the Gints getting an extra home game.

With the exception of 2 games (New Orleans & Minnesota for the Giants, Detroit & Carolina for the Cowboys), the Cowboys and Giants played the exact same schedule...same teams, same locations. Ditto for Philly & Washington.

You missed his point.


When we played Philly McNabb was starting for them, both times.

With the Giants he didn't/won't suit up against them at all.


And we faced Terrell Owens once. The Giants, Zero.

just makes us a stronger team. Let them have the division they dont deserve, chances are, next year, they'll have a harder schedule, and pending a natural disaster, 8 home games. They'll get knocked out first or second round anyway, we just get a better pick. Look at the bright side...

Again-people are forgetting the Saints play like SUPER BOWL contenders at the start of the season, only to play like pretenders at the end. And plus the Giants' run D was miserable at the beg of the season-Deuce McCalister would have ate them up alive.

Why is all this "Giants getting an extra home game" argument still going on?

As long as their POS kicker keeps stinking up the joint, even the zebras may not be able to save them when all is said and done...

The Cowboys have had their chances...all year long. They still have opportunities.......
