Could it be conspirational?

Today my 11 year old son asked me why the hated Giants seem to start fairly well every year and eventuall suck ass by the end of the season. After some thoughtful consideration, I said that the NFL gives them an easy early season schedule to generate a nice media buzz and optimism in the world's number one media market. I think there is a chance that I am not totally insane in my estimation here. Discuss among yourselves.

The Giants start out very well in the beginning of the season because their starting 11 (on both sides of the ball) is better than people want to give them credit for.

The problem being (and it looks like they've addressed the situation this season) is the Giants never had the depth to back up the starters once that guy on the grassy knoll starts putting pins into that injury voodoo doll and players start going down. A team with very little depth at any position isn't going to easily replace a Strahan, Shockey, or a Hamilton (eg).

Injuries are indeed part of life in the NFL, however as other Giants fans can attest the last two seasons were absoulutely ridiculous. Second and Third string guys were going down and it wasn't unusual for guys to be getting signed to mid-week contracts and then being plugged into the starting line up on Sunday.

Now, if you want to talk about conspiricies let's investigate why time after time the Giants get royally farged by every officiating crew since the organization backed scab officials when the refs when on strike all those years ago.

You got an extra home game. Shut up. Whiner.

Gene · October 09, 2005, 02:28:14 PM

Don't blame me for that one.....blame Bush

Well stop bitching when you get incredible breaks like that.

you were doing fine with kurt warner and your dumbass of a coach made a switch that made you lose 8 straight. That is why you sucked

Gene · October 09, 2005, 03:43:42 PM

Sorry oh uninformed one, but Kurt Warner sucked.

And has the Lombardi watch started yet down in DC?

Purple_Hayz · October 09, 2005, 03:53:54 PM

Not that I'm a Skins fan but yes. Yes it has.

General_Failure · October 09, 2005, 03:54:55 PM

Just one loss before it turns into a suicide watch.

Purple_Hayz · October 09, 2005, 03:57:03 PM

Naw, the first loss will be a mulligan. It'll take at least two.

General_Failure · October 09, 2005, 04:00:15 PM

Two sounds right, but I don't want to give Skinsfan any credit.

Purple_Hayz · October 09, 2005, 04:05:42 PM

The big question to my mind is how many losses will it take before we start to hear talk of problems between Danny-boy and Saint Joseph?

Could it be conspirational?
