The Curse Of Fedex Field
This is one of those cases where I got screwed over by bad timing. Got the idea on Sunday afternoon, couldn’t find time to finish it in for Wednesday, forgot the TEAM was playing Thursday night (against my own team for extra hilarity), and now I have to post it the day directly after a humiliating L, which makes me look petty, but I promise I was just being my regular brand of mean. I even threw the final panel in there last second to make it work.
I think the TEAM is honestly better off with Henieke than Fitz. I think hiring Fitz to take charge is a mistake. He’s never achieved anything but meme status. The TEAM’s biggest need is probably QB, and they stumbled into possibly having one last season for the playoffs, give Henieke the chance. Well, he has to be the guy now, and frankly, I thought he did pretty good. Might not have the style of Fitzmagic but he’s not an old fart journeyman trying to find a job anywhere he can, he’s a low-cost high potential guy who could hold down the fort and potentially be the future should he work out. Fitz isn’t the future, even if he’s good. Give Henieke the shot.
As for the sewage thing, classic Fedex. I’ve been to surprisingly few stadiums but Fedex is one of them and it was a trashbin then and it’s a trashbin now. The official report is that it wasn’t sewage but a busted pipe carrying water from a reserve rainwater tank. While stagnant, fermenting rainwater is certainly a step up from sewage, it’s still pretty damn gross and likely filled with germs. Plus, that’s what Dan Snyder says it was, so there is still a chance it really was sewage.
Anyway fire Joe Judge into the sun. Fire the whole coaching staff. The defense made exactly one play. The offense actually gave Jones time and they still played like conservative ninnies. For being a disciplinarian, this team is woefully undisciplined and pathetic. That will probably be the funniest loss of the year so at least it was hilarious clownball at its best. If you actually had optimism that the Giants would win that game, at this point in time, I’m not sure what could actually break you. Embrace the shit, it ain’t changing for at least most of the season.
Daniel Jones looked damn good today. I think from reading this comic I thought he’d be flaming dog poop, but he looked like a capable quarterback. The rest of his team and the coaching on the other hand….
He didn’t just have that dropped TD, he also had a dropped INT deep in his own territory that could have sealed the game for the WFT so I dunno what’s this about looking damn good
Honestly, this could be a blessing on disguise. If Judge is a good coach, it’s awkward to keep him and fire everyone else. If he ends up blowing chunks this year, then we can detonate everything again and pretend like it never happened! Yayyy!
Ngl I turned the game off after the INT at the 20 with less than 3 minutes left… surly the Giants could manage the clock, kick an FG and get outta there. Low and behold I woke up to your comic and was very much confused by the last panel… I’m reminded of what the broadcasters said right before kickoff. “Daniel Jones was 4-0 against the Team…” *announcer curse initiated* lol.
When I told my wife, who has experience working for the local sewer district, that it was a gray water rain collection pipe and not a sewage pipe she said “Still pretty bad.” I’ll take her word for it.
Judge is most likely out at the end of the season. Unless they seriously overachieve, which would be exactly what the Lions or Bears would normally do. Otherwise, him, Gettleman, and Jones are likely done in NY.
The question is, are the Giants at the Jets level of bad yet? I don’t think so. But they are working on it. Sorry Dave, but it can’t get worse from here, right?

Trust me I’ve had family members texting me asking if that was me for 3 days now
After last night I am ready to see this team be shot into the sun. So many bad decisions and coaching errors and it’s only week 2. The offense is stale, the defense is beyond passive, Judge seems to be incapable of making sound decisions, and they can’t stop getting in their own way with penalties. I’m also unsure why they signed Golladay and drafted Toney because neither are being used. I’m also unsure why Peppers has seemingly been demoted from SS to Nickel CB when he was never good in coverage.
Just waiting for Taylor Heinicke to get his invite to Fort Elite Moneys.
