Giants 2026 Schedule Revealed (as Usual) Before Offiical Announcement

As seems to have become an annual tradition, the entire New York Giants schedule drops before anyone else, and well ahead of the "official" announcement this evening at 8 p.m. 

Thanks to X accounts @NFLNerd and @ozzyNFL, fans have been watching schedule leaks drop across the league as if they were general election returns since Wednesday afternoon. In fact, the anticipation and prediction element of the schedule has become a thing of its own in social media circles. Everyone takes their best swing at guessing the schedule. 

As for Big Blue, we knew on Monday that they would open the season against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, September 13.  No real surprise. The Cowboys are a ratings magnate for the NFL no matter how good nor bad they are. Couple that will John Harbaugh's debut as Giants coach, and you got a ready made game for prime time. 

By Wednesday night we also found out that the Giants were going to host the Cardinals in Week 4 and the Washington Commanders in Week 10 on a Thursday night.  We also found out that the Giants were not heading overseas as many expected. The anticipation was the Giants would face the Lions in Munich, Germany in November. Instead the NFL opted to send the AFC Champion New England Patriots.  

Then License Plate Guy revealed, cleverly, that the Giants would play in Dallas in January. 

Finally per Doug Rush, via Art Stapleton, the entire thing was revealed. 

Following their Sunday night game in Dallas, the Giants head to L.A. to face the Rams on Monday night, September 21. Makes sense. The two big prime time networks, NBC and then ESPN get to see the Giants with their new Head Coach. It's also the Rams first game post Australia.  

Big Blue face former Head Coach Brian Daboll, the Tennessee Titans Offensive Coordinator in Week 3. 

The Giants visit Washington in Week 5, and will split a two-game road trip between Philadelphia (Week 7) and Houston (Week 9) with the bye week in between in Week 8.  

The Giants face San Francisco at home in Week 13, and visit Seattle in Week 14. Oddly neither game is in prime time, although they could get flexed later.  The Giants close the season at Detroit on a Monday night in Week 16; visit the Cowboys in Week 17, and close out the regular season at MetLife against the Eagles.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
