I like the draft and how they turned it into an event, but I don't get how the schedule release has become some kind of event. It's not something I care about. It is what it is.

The NFL is a masterclass on capitalizing on every opportunity to market and create excitement. It doesn’t move the needle much for me but there are plenty that will tune in. More, more, more…Goodell would have these guys playing 30 games all across the world if he could.

Week 5: @ New Orleans

This is a brutal start to season with tough division matches plus KC, Eagles and Chargers. It is going to be a slow start I fear.

I hate that Neal cant crack this crap lineup ...Interiror Oline is the only position the Giants didnt improve this offseason ... And of cousre it's this mosy important position but they havent figured that out over the past 10 seasons ... and they never will

It's just OTA so no pads yet
Also Neal is re-learning a position he hasn't played since his freshman year at Alabama

Jevon Holland is ranked #10 Safety before the season by PFF.

I'm rooting hard for Neal to win that LG spot ... that could be the difference maker we need on the oline.
Let Van Roten and Runyan battle for RG and Van Roten and Schmidts battle for Center

 

[Rubi]

Always a good sign when fights break out at OTA's

 

[Rubi]

C'mon Giants fans.
Nothing to discuss?
Just because The Mets and Yankees and Liberty own the sports world right now it doesn't mean we can't talk about something!

The offensive line will hopefully benefit from seeing these guys day-in and day-out.

2 ways to look at this ...
Positive for the defense or Negative for the offense

I dont recall Thibideux looking like this

As opposed to this as a rookie

Can they be good enough against the run so that they can let the pass rush loose?

That first half schedule is brutal for a team who did not have a lot of success last year.

Interesting that it first mentions Dart in week 9 vs. SF and from that point on it has the Giants going 6-3 to finish 9-8. That would be a good season IMO.

I think they will be lucky to win four games. I don't have much faith in AI.

It's a very optimistic outlook IMO, which is why it would be a good season, but I don't put any weight on it. There's nothing else to talk about right now, though...

Based on points allowed they expect the Giants defense to be slightly worse than last season 419 to 415 in 2024
I'd bet a lot of money against that ... Giants allowed 24.4 pts per game last season ... i think they will kncok at least 2 pts per game off of that total in 2025

Giants are going to be much better than people expect ... Def and QB play are going to be much better

We're gonna shock the world....6-11!

Looking at the schedule, how many games, and which games, do you guys think they will be the favorites?

At New Orleans week 5
If J.J. McCarthy is a bust maybe week 16 at home against Minnesota
That's it

The Giants offense was #31 last season in scoring with just 16.1 PPG
Russ and the Steelers were #16 with 22.4 PPG

If we meet halfway its 19.2 PPG ... Still low but I think the Giants have more weapons then the 2024 Steelers

According to the look ahead lines only once, week 5 vs. New Orleans by 1.5 points

Some teams will turn out better than forecast,others will turn out worse than expected as the season progresses. I may be hoping against hope but I think The Giants will be better than expected by the "experts". So if one or two of their opponents are less than expected,they may be favored in a couple games. But I would get on them early in the season,I think they cover week one against Washington and I think they beat Dallas outright in week two. But I'm a glass half full kinda guy.
