This may be my fault

Sorry BBI. There’s a chance I **may** be partially responsible for the current Giants debacle. I’m pretty sure that at some point during the end of Super Bowl 46 I **may** have made a comment to the effect of “please just let the Giants win this game we can suck for the next 10 years..”. On the bright side 10 years is just about up.
I basically did the same thing

No it’s my fault

I went to Super Bowl 46 and after the game I said

“I don’t care if they don’t win a playoff game for the next 15 years”
That win was a curse

That was a team on the downslide. They probably would have blown in all up if it was not for Eli and his damn heroics. They won....then had the Superbowl coming the Metlife, so kept it together a little longer. Instead of rebuilding the trenches...they brought in weapons. And so it goes . . .
I may have contributed

I considered wearing two pieces of Giants gear, but I just didn't think it would be comfortable, so I wore one. I should have just sacrificed my comfort for doing better against Dallas (how much better? It's hard to calculate). I fear we ALL share responsibility. Judge should have coached better, I should have "fanned" better. We all play our part.....
I'll take that deal.

Winning those 2 recent SB were so sweet, I can live with 10 years of shittiness. There are plenty of mediocre and even good teams that compete every year but have zero SBs in that time frame.

I kinda agree. But it really sucks being out of it so early every year.

Lol it's on you now buddy. My penance is about up :)
Well at least I now have my answers as to why.

Yup

I know I said something just like that on my knees on that last drive. And I am pretty sure the whole room agreed.
And...  
DannyDimes : 10/11/2021 1:47 pm : link
I said the EXACT same thing....
The good news, we win a Super Bowl every decade.  
MOOPS : 10/11/2021 1:47 pm : link
The bad news, we may have to wait until 2029 to get the next one.
The really bad news, my actuarial chart makes it kinda iffy if I'll be around for that one if we drag it out to the end.

Why only 2?
The sad thing is...

Even though the OP is probably joking, I'm willing to bet that some of the posters on this thread (and those reading it) actually believe that their actions can impact a Giants game.
Well I made a deal too.  
Giant John : 10/11/2021 10:39 pm : link
We blow chow for 10 years but win the the next 20 Super Bowls in a row. Oh and I threw in the other three teams in the division never make the play-offs again.
I’m ready to start collecting.
I actually made that bargain before the 2007 Cowboys playoff game  
Greg from LI : 10/11/2021 11:08 pm : link
I could not abide the thought of getting knocked out by the damned Cowboys

Same here. We could have lost by 100 at Lambeau the following week and I still would have looked back fondly on that season.
