Wow this is gonna be GREAT for our Skins to open the season. Open up with the Superbowl champs on the road.
Should be a great game. Start the season off with a WIN on the road against the Giants. Can't wait!

Skins Get Thursday Season Opener Against Giants
Jason Reid has confirmed that the Redskins and New York Giants will play in the NFL season opener Thursday (Sept. 4) at Giants Stadium. An official announcement is expected to come Monday at the annual owners' meetings in Florida.
Note from the earlier posts that the NFL is considering changing the starting time of this game to 7 p.m., rather than 8:30, because that is the final night of the Republican Convention.

I figured that would be the case.. New coach, division rivalry.. We're going to be getting a lot of exposure early in the season.. Hall of Fame game then the season opener.. Only thing I don't like is not having a game to watch on opening Sunday and having to wait 10 days for a game.. Ah well, we should be 1-0 by then so that will make it easier to bear.

Congrats on the Super Bowl win (I was rooting for the G-men). That said, losing several starters on defense and dealing with a Super Bowl hangover might make things hard for your beloved team coming September. :)

At least we can all say that a run up the middle is not a definite! Im not saying that its not going to be the call, but w/ Gibbs it was a definite. Open it up in Giants stadium. (@ 7pm today 3/26 its only 162 days away. HOF 127 days for those counting.)

Think of it like this. You'll get to see your favorite football team early this upcoming season. Also, when we won Super Bowl XXII, the following season, we had to open at Giants Stadium on Monday night and New Yorkers beat us. It's time to return the favor, I think!
