2024 NFL Off-Season thread

[The Buscher]

The Giants schedule seems to have leaked.  Playing the Vikings week 1 which is surely going to cause some overreaction narratives depending on what happens.  If JJ McCarthy lights them up while Jones sucks half the fans who were like "thank god we passed on JJ" are going to do an instant about-face.

Weirdly both Dallas games are on a Thursday - hosting Dallas on a Thursday night and then later going to Dallas on Thanksgiving afternoon.  Not really happy that the Giants will once again get massacred by them on national TV twice but oh well.

Carolina and Atlanta were two road games I was targeting if I wanted a fairly cheap trip to see a road game, the Carolina game is in Germany and Atlanta game is the week of Christmas where flights are crazy expensive so yeah, that's out.  Maybe next year.

Jesus Christ.  I do have Netflix and a lot of people have Netflix but that's not really the point here.  They're just making it harder and more expensive for people to watch football and eventually there will come a time where fans of a team say, meh, guess I'll just skip this one.

I'm having issues with Netflix, anyway: Freezes while watching sometimes. Sometimes it runs really slow while scrolling or while adding to my list or setting a reminder. Do not have those issues with other streaming services.

The Ravens have a week 14 bye and then come out of that playing an inhumane 3 games in 10 days. The fucking NFL!

Not a chargers fan, but the best schedule release video by far.

The best quirk of the schedules I've seen so far is that Jared Goff will only have to play outdoors three times in the entire season. That's crazy.

Giants unveiled their Century Red jersey they'll wear twice this year.

Pretty gaudy but given it's their 100th year I don't mind the nod to history.  But I don't have much interest in seeing them return for 2025.

The fact that they used the Sims 2 instead of Sims 4 is just awesome.

I honestly appreciate that they're trying to do something unique and feel like more teams should be attempting it. I also think they'd look much better with blue pants as the khaki really sticks out like a sore thumb.

I understand the khaki because it's the color their pants were at the beginning - also despite the team being called Big Blue by the fans, red was actually the main Giants color for the first three decades.

Blue pants in 2025 would work for me if they were going to keep a modern variation of this around.

Ok those jerseys are sick AF - not like an every-gamer obviously, but those freaking rock

Someone in the organization REALLY wanted JJ McCarthy.

The big stripe across the center was all the rage in the 1920s and 1930s.

[Lint]

Those are hideous.  They look worse then our 75th anniversary throwbacks did

I mean I legit thought whoever #13 is wasn't wearing pants at first

The New York Wolverines!

The more I look at them the more I actually really like the jersey as a throwback redesign. The helmet and pants need to change though. Maybe a modernized classic GIANTS on the side of a solid blue helmet and the aforementioned blue pants.

Chiefs continuing on an unprecedented run of an off-season.

Will be make for some interesting supplemental stories in the threepeat documentary that comes out next year.

More roadblocks for Mahomes to overcome like Super Cena.
