"Hate divisional games this early"- NFL fans react to Commanders-Giants Week 1 showdown for 2025 season

On Wednesday, NFL insider Jordan Schultz revealed that the Washington Commanders will open their 2025 campaign against the New York Giants.

"Sources: Jayden Daniels and the #Commanders will open their season at home in an NFC East showdown against the much-improved #Giants."

In response, some NFL fans highlighted how they did not like how so many divisional games were scheduled to be played so early this year.

"Week 1 is an NFC East fest. Gross. Hate divisional games this early. Divisional games shouldn't be played until at the earliest, week 4." one fan wrote.

"Boooo. Wanted Commanders vs Eagles 😤." one fan wrote.

"So NFL WK1 might consist of a bunch of Divisional matchups? 🤔." one fan wrote.

Meanwhile, some NFL fans made clear their belief about who would win in the contest.

"GIANTS ARE COOKING THE COMMANDERS! WE ARE GONNA SHOCK THE WORLD!!!." one fan wrote.

"Jayden Daniels vs Malik Nabers for bragging rights." one fan wrote.

"This game is going to be a tone setter for the entire Giants season." one fan wrote.

The current state of the NFC East ft. Washington Commanders

The NFC East looks like it will be much improved in 2025. Philly and Washington look as though they will remain two of the top teams. The Cowboys had a great NFL draft and traded for star WR George Pickens. Finally, the Giants look as though they have found their QB of the future in Jaxson Dart.

In 2024, Washington finished with a 12-5 record and second in the division. Meanwhile, the Giants completed the campaign with a 3-14 record and fourth in the division.

The Week 1 showdown between the Washington and New York has not yet been confirmed officially by the NFL, however, it appears as though Week 1 will also feature the Philadelphia Eagles against the Dallas Cowboys on opening night as well.
