![]() The extra day will reduce the impact from their return from the West Coast. The Giants also get an extended psuedo bye week to start the season, with Thursday Night Football followed by Monday Night Football. While it looks like San Francisco could have a true quarterback battle on their hands, we don’t know for sure just how ready either quarterback will be for the season. ![]() Kyle Shanahan mentioned Thursday (May 11th), that Purdy is now expected back for the start of the 49ers training camp. Purdy suffered a torn UCL in his eighth start, putting the start of the 2023 season in doubt. Purdy emerged late in the season and while it’s a small sample size, he was one of the very best quarterbacks in the NFL over the seven starts prior to his injury (two of which came in the playoffs). Lance broke his ankle in Week 2, which has required a pair of surgeries to repair. Likewise, 49ers quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Trey Lance are both recovering from surgeries as well. And while the Cardinals are beginning a rebuild, Murray has been a problem for the Giants in the past. Cardinals QB Kyler Murray tore his ACL in Week 13 of the 2022 season and his status for the beginning of the season is unknown. Giving the Giants road games against the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers in consecutive games will allow the team to make two fewer cross-country trips than if they had Likewise, making those game in the first three weeks of the season could give the Giants a massive personnel advantage. The schedule makers did do the Giants a couple favors (if this is the way their schedule shakes out). They have games against the Bills, 49ers, and Eagles, but not in a group that could bludgeon the team and put them in a hole - though the four games from Week 3 to Week 6 (49ers, Seahawks, Dolphins, Bills) could get hairy. The flip side of that is that there aren’t any stretches of games that seem particularly likely to put the Giants in a skid. The closest we can come to a “cruise” stretch of games is around the Giants’ Week 13 bye, but we shouldn’t count the Commanders, Patriots, Packers, or Saints as easy wins. This year, the schedule looks much more even, with no “murderer’s row” stretches, nor any cake-walks. Last year the Giants’ schedule had clear stretches of winnable games as well as stretches of obviously tough match-ups. The NFL has had a problem with disappointing prime time games in recent years, so they’re also very much hoping that the Giants’ match-ups against the Cowboys, 49ers, Seahawks, Bills, Packers, and Eagles will produce some good football. The NFL obviously believes that Giants fans will be tuning in and making those games likely to be highly rated. The Giants have five prime time games and their Christmas game, so they’ll be on national TV for a third of their season. These are rumors, there’s always smoke, and things can get confused when playing telephone.īut with all that in mind, what can we take away from the (unofficial) schedule?
