NY Giants 2019 Schedule

So, it is time to figure out how these things are gonna play out. This is my pre-draft edition, so you cannot put a ton of stock in such things. I had a preseason version of this kind of thing for the 11u team I coach, and boy was I off! (we are presently headed for 5th overall and a dance with the 4th seed that already beat us once. If we win, we play the 1 seed and get abused. I thought we would go 3 or 7. Eventually I settled on 6 and that was also a fail).

The Giants have a year of the playbook under their belts and a better equipped squad to handle that offense and that defense especially. So, what does that mean? It means week I is going to matter mucho. I’m calling it Giants over Cowboys and we move to 1-0. The party continues into week 3, following a thumping of the Bills in the Battle for NY (only every few years do all 3 NY teams face off). We get a surprisingly tough Bucs squad but hold on to go 3-0. The Redskins game is about a team that is fully in rebuild mode and The Giants. We win that too! 4-0.

Reality arrives in week 5. Despite momentum and a clear understanding of what Minnesota can do, we cannot do much and are defeated. 4-1 quickly becomes 4-2, because the Patriots are still the freakin Patriots!

The Cards come to town soon after to restore our faith in ourselves. 5-2. Week 8 brings a very good Lions team and a tough loss for the G-men. 5-3.

10 minutes about done and we are halfway there!
