Bottom line, just because it's the Giants first game off their title doesn't mean that the Skins will roll over and hand it to them.

True, they but IMO this is the toughest week of the season to play the Giants in NJ. Maybe they will win anyway and it will spark a great season...but a lot of what makes a schedule hard or easy is where the games are placed and this is the worst spot the @ NY game could have been placed. My thinking was that since we have a new coach and a new offense it would have been better to get our feet wet in a non divisional game. It is what it is though...I am not going to cry about it anymore but I have to be honest and my initial reaction was negative towards being in this opening game.
