I'd say that the NFC East should watch out, but the Giants have the most brutal schedule in the NFL this season. Still, they have a soild linebacking corps this year adding Arrington and Brandon Short this week.

Arrington graduated from my high school. :p

But yeah, I wouldn't say the Giants have the most brutal schedule. Most NFC teams are a joke anyway. ;)

Especially when it's NFC against AFC + refs in the SB ;)

Perhaps not the most brutal, but a really tough schedule:

COLTS
at Eagles
at Seahawks
BYE
REDSKINS
at Falcons
at Cowboys
BUCCANEERS
TEXANS
BEARS
at Jaguars
at Titans
COWBOYS
at Panthers
EAGLES
SAINTS
Redskins

That is one tough schedule.

First, yes, the Giants have the most difficult schedule in the League this year. But, fellow Giants fans, get over it. It's the hand we've been dealt.
As for Arrington, much ado about nothing. The only positive about this signing is that the Front Office was smart enough to make the contract incentive laden. Meaning if this overrated, gimpy kneed blowhard doesn't perform, it won't be the usual disaster for the Giants Front Office. Should be amusing to watch Lavar hang with Burress. The two cancers should have an easy time infecting the team by midseason.
I would have rather seen the Giants select some young talent in next week's linebacker rich draft.

This is the dumbest post I have read about the signing since it was finalized. Did I miss something with Buress last year? He was terrific. And by the way before you start with your superior insight to me concerning the Giants, let me inform you I have been a Giants fan for more than 20 years now.

Very tough schedule. Tougher than the steelers and the seahawks due to the fact that we have no easy to beat teams in our division.

I saw news of the Arrington signing yesterday. I'm so glad they finally got it done. I was happier to see that they backloaded the contract significantly and made most of it performance based, which are very smart things to do considering his injury history.

Burress and Shockey (another cancer) were kept perfectly in line by TC last year.

Carbo, when are you going to give up? The Eagles chances at winning are over. For many seasons they had the advantage of weak Giants, Redskins, and Cowboys teams, which is the bulk of the reasoning behind their "success." They will not win the NFC east this year, nor will they win a wildcard. Sorry.

Mucho, you my friend are an idiot. Eli has played exactly 1.5 seasons in the NFL. Currently he is ahead of where his brother was at the same point in his career.

He may not be an elite QB yet, but he is certainly a decent one. Last year the Giants had the third most powerful offense in the NFL in terms of total points scored. I think we are fine with Eli.

Carbo is not an Eagles fan, he is a glass-half-empty, downright depressing, solidly pessimistic, Tom Coughlin hating Giants fan. :p

Giants just need a new kicker now... Jay Feely folded a lot when pressure was on when he was with the Falcons.

Heh, based on what he was saying I had him pegged as one of the eagles fans that constantly troll over at boards.giants.com/

He was great for the Falcons as well until he was put in pressure situations.

The glimpse into your personal lifestyle aside, yes, you apparently missed something with Plexiglass last year. So did he, in fact. Like the last nine games of the season. He disappeared, and flat out quit in the playoff embarrassment versus the Panthers. Hell, the punk even skipped the end of the season team meeting, and later on admitted he quit on his team in that game. Did you watch any games last year? Did you see him, (and Shockey), constantly showing up their QB? Waving their arms, complaining about not getting the ball enough? There's a reason Pittsburgh let the bum go. And the Giants Front Office was duped into taking this overrated loser.
Burress and Shockey (another cancer) were kept perfectly in line by TC last year.
Really, is that why he was forced to sit Burress in the San Diego game early in the season? And is that why TO Lite and TO White are down in South Beach now, partying with the elite, instead of running routes with Manning to work on their timing, which was off all season?

Dude, to call me an Eagles fan is the worst insult you could lay upon me. If I had my white glove handy, I should smack you smartly across your face.

Now, that's better. Hi, Presence.

yeah because cleveland, baltimore, and cincy are so easy to beat. Right... but you guys are the toughest division in football... NOT

Dallas - Mediocre team with a top coach...
Washington - Bunch of over rated superstars with no team chemistry. FLOP
Philly - See Washington
Giants - Finally starting to resemble the giants of the early ninetys.

Steelers Schedule:

Miami
at Jacksonville
Cincinnati
BYE WEEK
at San Diego
Kansas City
at Atlanta
at Oakland
Denver
New Orleans
at Cleveland
at Baltimore
Tampa Bay
Cleveland
at Carolina
Baltimore
at Cincinnati


yeah show me the easy win in this schedule.

The Steelers won the Superbowl, they're SUPPOSED to have a tough schedule.
Also, New Orleans, Baltimore (twice) and Oakland are winnable games.
