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. ;)

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.


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.


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.



Winnable for sure. Not cake easy as the other guy said.


All four of those games should be cake easy. New Orleans will not be any better next year, despite the addition of Brees, Baltmire will suck, as will Oakland.

I'd be highly suprised if Pittsburgh did not walk away with a victory in each of those 4 games.

I will miss Lavar and all the stupid commercials he makes. Hopefully he will start where he left off with the Redskins since we have to play the Giants twice next year.:p

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.

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

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/

"But, fellow Giants fans, get over it."

Hooray for reading comprehension. :roll:

I was actually referring to a post I made earlier in the thread about being an Eagles fan. My post regarding that topic appears 3 times in this thread. Perhaps you need to either read the entire thread before you make a stupid comment, or YOU need to learn some reading comprehension. :disgust:

From Washington's site:
Based on the 2005 finish of opponents, the Giants and Cincinnati have the toughest schedules heading into 2006. New York and Cincinnati opponents went 139-117 last season.[/quote]
