Did the Giants really "win" a game this year?

by user Roblefko

Let me start off by saying im a Jets fan so that explains why this article has many flaws and probably makes no sense. But, I do honestly think the Giants deserved to win 0 games this year, and the only reason they won 11 is because EVERYTHING fell into place for them this year (had all these things happened to a semi-decent team, they would have been superbowl champs). Let's take a week by week look:

Week 2 vs. N.O.: Giants receive an extra home game and get to play the Saints who are distracted by the hurricane. Giants win. Week 8 vs. Washington: Giants play a few days after their owner, Wellington Mara, passed away. Who wouldnt be emotionally charged up in such a situation. Had they not been so charged up, they would have played based on their regular abilities, which would have led to a loss (as can be seen Week 16 against the Redskins when they lost 35-20). Week 9 at San Francisco: 49ers start their 4th quarterback, Cody Pickett (a former rodeo player). Week 10 vs Minnesota: Daunte Culpepper gets injured week 8 and of course the Giants get to play the Vikings two weeks later. (Giants lost anyway). Week 11 and Week 14 vs. Philadelphia: Of course Donovan Mcnabb gets injured for the season and the Giants get to play the Eagles twice during the next 4 weeks. Giants win both games. Mike Mcmahon? You gotta be kidding. Week 12 at Seattle: League apologizes to Seattle for TWO blown calls, both of which gave the Giants touchdowns. (Giants lost anyway}.

Okay, that wasn't a week by week look, but still, that's alot of things falling into place for the Giants. Ill give them credit for 1 win (the comeback against the Broncos).
