No, I mean the fact our home opener involves the Giants lol

 

[Maverick84]

That’s three Thursday games. Isn’t there a limit?

Short weeks aren’t a good thing, but I suppose the first week doesn’t really count as being short.

and on a personal preference note, I like my Sunday football, my Sunday drinks, and my Sunday pizza.... screw Thursday nights ****** lol

I can't wait to beat Philly on the road while looking dominant and then get blown out by Russell Wilson in week 2 at home.

Hopefully the dominance of this division opponent continues.
Cuz if it doesn't, it's gonna be a very very bad year.

I'm not much of an NBA fan anymore, but I hate how the NFL has weasled their way in on Xmas Day. It was the NBA's day for decades, but the NFL greed knows no boundaries.

Freedom of choice.....may the better sport win.

 

[fivetwos]

thats because noon is 10 am on west coast, and they dont like that.

Noon local kickoff sucks all the way around. I HATE attending the noon start game. it BLOWS!

Yeah if you’re going to the game it sucks to have to get out there that early. It also affects the night before.

I just miss the old days I guess….and I despise Sunday night games, attending or not.

Hey don’t you always go to the home opener? That’s almost definitely gonna be noon.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

10 of the last 11 home openers have been againt the Giants or Tampa.... wth?

My point exactly, or we've opened at the Giants. So that's why I was saying it's no surprise that we'd open at home with the Giants.

Sounds right but a bit unbelievable.

Havent we played the defending champ in the Thursday opener several times lately?

Rams, Tampa, Eagles….

You’d figure they wouldn’t burn the Cowboys on those since people are gonna watch that stand alone first game anyway.

They are tough to win.

 

[DandyDon52]

Not really, I wont be watching the xmas game, as it will be on some pay channel.
I should be able to watch the others.

I think this schedule release in bits and pieces seems like a jerry idea , and they liked it.
All kinda silly, it means the schedule was finished by the 12th , but they are just gonna play
with releasing it bit by bit,.

It does give the schedule a lot more attention lol.

edit ... oh I forgot lol ,
the game 1 will probably get big ratings. If eagles beat the cowboys that will be better than
winning the SB for them.

the nyg giant game wont be anything special, it is a meh game as giants are losers.

I always go to the home opener. It is RARELY at noon. It is normally sunday night, but if not, it will be 325 local. Id be shocked if it were a noon start.

Well for your sake I hope you’re right, but I’m not sure that matchup would be set aside for a National type audience these days.

Do you follow the Cowboys?

 

[BoyzBlaster]

wow my wife is going to love how the two biggest holidays of the year now revolve around the cowboys...great, thanks NFL.

And what are sure to be brutal beat downs at that. It's like they are trying to ruin the holidays for us.

well, you were right. 12 noon local time start. We absolutely HATE that. Our tailgate crew doesnt normally do those early games, and even if you did, you barely get to hang out for about 2 hrs. Takes a lot of the fun of coming to the home opener away when the game starts early. damn it.
