New York Giants 2008 Schedule Announced

New York Giants 2008 Schedule Announced:  The Giants’ 2008 regular-season schedule has been announced.  The Giants also released the final details of the pre-season schedule.  For a complete listing, see the 2008 Schedule section of the website.

“It’s a very, very challenging schedule,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin.  “Week-in and week-out, we will be challenged by outstanding opponents.  We have four prime time games, which our team will look forward to with great anticipation.  We begin the season against Washington, a division opponent, and face a big challenge with four of our last six games on the road.

“Certainly, each game is an exceptional challenge,” said Coughlin.  “We have back-to-back-to-back games against our division opponents in November and December.  We play the AFC North, which I think is a division with four very good teams.  Our team must work very hard to prepare for the task ahead of us.”

This is the second time in three seasons the Giants have their bye after the third regular season game.  There are currently four prime time games scheduled – one Thursday night game (at home against Washington), two Sunday night games (at Philadelphia and at Dallas), and one Monday night game (at Cleveland).  One or two of the last seven games could also be shifted to prime time given the NFL’s flexible scheduling policy.
