New York Giants Afternoon Notes: 2012 Schedule Released, And More

While New York Giants fans bask in the glow of Sunday night's NFC East clinching victory over the Dallas Cowboys and look toward this weekend's playoff game against the Atlanta Falcons, the earth is continuing to spin and things are continuing to happen around the Giants and the NFL. Let's catch up on some of what is going on.

The Giants will, of course, get the first-place schedule for 2012. What does that mean? Here is the lineup of the 10 games the Giants will play outside their division next season.

- vs. Green Bay

- @ San Francisco

- vs. New Orleans

- vs. Tampa Bay

- vs. Cleveland

- vs. Pittsburgh

- @ Atlanta

- @ Carolina

- @ Baltimore

- @ Cincinnati

The dates and times will be determined at a later date.

Star-divide

SB Nation's Falcons blog, The Falcoholic, is already asking if Atlanta can beat the Giants.

SB Nation released a mock draft today that has the Giants opting for an offensive lineman whose name I cannot yet spell, or pronounce.

While the Giants are preparing for the playoffs, the New York Jets are imploding while they head into the off-season.

Former Giants linebacker Harry Carson might run for Congress in New Jersey.

This kind of looks pretty similar to our schedule this season.

As much as I’d like the Giants to play the dregs of the NFL on a more consistent basis, I believe we do play to the level of our opponent, so hopefully this will bring out the best in us.

I'm down with J.T., Osi, and JPP.

I completely agree

Even though if we have a bad start with that schedule people will start complaining about it real quick

by MikeyG-men on Jan 2, 2012 3:08 PM EST up reply actions  

So we play the NFC South & AFC North

Plus throw in games with San Fran and Green Bay. Every other team in the NFC East will have the same schedule (minus Green Bay and San Fran naturally). I’m just glad New Orleans needs to come north this year. It feels like we have always been in their building.

It could be worse. I could be a Jets fan.

by Madhops on Jan 2, 2012 3:09 PM EST up reply actions  

Yes, and this year we had throw-in games with New Orleans and Green Bay, while playing San Fran and the NFC West.

I feel like this year’s was worse, somehow. Although the Carolina game worries me already.

There are no throw in games in the NFL.

The NFL schedule formula is:

6 games – every team in your division twice
4 games – one complete division in the opposite conference
3 games – every team in the same conference that finished in the same place as you in the previous season
3 games – one complete division in the same conference (not including the team that finished in the same place as you)

opposing divisions are rotated every year

by Alex Goldstick on Jan 2, 2012 8:03 PM EST up reply actions  

i would venture to guess...

that the 3 games against the other conference teams in the same position would be what they meant by the throw ins…though they’re clearly not just randomly picked…i honestly didn’t know that was part of the formula until this past year.

In Prust we Trust

we need to get cam newton before the panther’s get off lock down cause eli cant (QB) by hisselfall this saeson also we need plax back to cause smith is the best (WR) we got nd plax cant help smith nd the team out….. do that nd we have a a shout at the superblow

If he is traded Peyton may not have much say on the matter.

I was thinking Skins too

If I understand correctly, they have a ton of picks to trade. I think they’re still reeling from their terrible trades in the past, so might not be able to swing the price tag though.

Still think the colts should try and keep them both, but maybe Peyton’s ego is bigger than he lets on.

Fire Clawfin. It’s the only way. Then, draft a linebacker.

The Eagles have massive contract issues and they’re going to let DeSean walk. I hate the guy but he stretches the field and they’re a better team when he is around.

I think the big threat next year is Dallas since Murray will be back and they most likely will fix their O Line and Secondary

Jacquain and Sash so far look unlikely to bust. GJones looks like awesome STer right now, but we'll see.

Herzlich and Hynoski can defintely take starting roles. Especially Hyno. Have ZERO idea about picks 1-4, but its very early, so we’ll see what happens next year when they have OTAs and training camp.

Chase Blackburn, David Tyree, etc….but they both have potential. Sash especially because he’s shown some flashes, and has a tailor made spot for himself in the defense for Grant’s position.

I dunno if JR cares considering how he handled to Osi situation. Osi hates him, but he's still here playing.

I think Steve Smith would be nice depth, and could teach Jernigan to eventually take over. Nobody else will take him for higher than probably a million/year.

The Falcaholics are puffing out their chests real big

for a team that has yet to win a playoff game, and got smoked at home last year. I know thw G-men have’nt won a playoff game in awhile, but Atlanta is by no means an unbeatable team. Matty has’nt exactly been “ice” in the playoffs. I won’t sleep on the Falcons because they have some weapons, but for their fans to say Nicks and Cruz are “okay” and White and Jones are “dominant” is a bit of a stretch. White is reliable, and Jones was really a non factor early in the season and only recently started to make plays. They have an advantage at TE, and maybe a "slight edge at RB. And they have to come outside and play REAL ball in the elements, not that climate controlled flag football in the Georgia Dome. If the Giants stay focused, we’ll be going to get our rematch with San Fran.

I think it's safe to say that we'll be 6-2 halfway through next season...

Can we start talking about the “2nd half collapse” for next year or is it too soon?

This means nothing. You do not even know how these teams will shape up next year. Lots change in a short time.

Yes, when this year's was posted . . .

. . . who would have thought that San Francisco would have been a tough game?

While I appreciate knowing who we will be playing next season..

I could give a shit less..I’m still dealing with this season..I am interested in the here and now..Not 9/2012..

Favorite statements from Falcoholics...
Eli is not mobile (Our arch nemesis) and can be taken down pretty easily.
I’m not saying he’s bad, but I don’t think he’s quite the mega star some people make him out to be. I think people don’t play him correctly.

by enjoymoreradio on Jan 2, 2012 11:32 PM EST reply actions  

Lo

Eli doesnt have turner, gonzalez, white or jones, and hes still gonna beat ya! Ryan may be the most overrated qb ever!

by Giant Ken on Jan 3, 2012 1:17 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Whenever Eli runs I hold my breath

because he is priceless for us, but he really looked like a football player when he ran. Now if only we can work on those slides…..

From Steve Smith to Victor Cruz and Plaxico Burress to Hakeem Nicks,
so Long as Eli throws, the Giants will be fine.

Yeah

That was some interesting reading over there at Falcoholics. Sounds like they don’t really know this Giants team at all.

by NYStateofMind on Jan 3, 2012 3:49 PM EST up reply actions  

I like this schedule

A lot of potential good games to watch. I rather watch the Giants lose than watching a SB that doesn’t include the Giants.

by Worl'Boss on Jan 2, 2012 11:42 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

not an easy sched by any stretch

Might be another 9-win season into the playoffs

As Rolle said...

The Giants shouldn’t be worrying about their schedule. Their schedule should be worrying about them. If we get the O-line patched up in off-season, Spags comes back as DC, and get all our players back healthy, the whole league better watch out.

by NYStateofMind on Jan 3, 2012 3:52 PM EST up reply actions  

O line was pretty bad this year

and Eli still throws for 5000 yards. Running game is last in the league and they are still division champs. Now just imagine if the line returns to form of a few seasons ago. Eli with protection and a running game. Our O should be so dominant.

Add in a healthy D, plus either Fewell finally “getting it” and game-planning like he should with this roster or Spags coming back to do it. Team could be back on the dynasty track we were on before Spags left and the whole Plax situation went down.
