Can't stop thinking how bad things have regressed

In this organization...... anyone care to guess were would we be right now if we didn't have a few bucks a couple of years ago and pick Vernon, Snacks and Jenkins in free agency.
My guess

More or less saved Jerry Reese's job, or I firmly believe he would've been on his way out the door with Coughlin. You don't spend a billion dollars in free agency because you've drafted well.....he gave us five years of literally no one who signed a second contract. It's been better lately obviously (Collins, Goodson, Shepherd) but we still have a severe lack of depth, and a massive problem at both offensive tackles. Very sad.

last year scored less than 20 points 10 times counting the playoffs. We won 5 of those. In those 3 of those games the defense/special teams scored TD's and account for 7, 7 and 6 of the points. (I am including the extra point if applicable)

Saints game- we score 16 points (7 by the defense)
Rams game- we score 17 points (7 by the defense)
Redskins game- we score 19 points (6 by the defense)

so take out the defense and our offense put up 9 against the Saints, 10 against the Rams and 13 against Skins. That isn't even looking at turnovers that led directly to points (turnovers in their territory)..

Our offense has been bad for a while..

May be a good comparison
The Reason The Giants Had So Much Money a Few Years Ago...  
Jim in Tampa : 9/21/2017 4:46 pm : link
Was that they made a number of poor draft choices and chose not to re-sign them when their rookie contracts were up.

If the Giants did NOT have a lot of money a few years ago it would have meant that they previously made a number of GREAT draft choices and had to spend the money to re-sign them.

There's no way they would have been stuck with both crappy players and no money to sign new ones.
