For all you Seinfeld fans, today Dec 23, is the holiday of Festivus. If you don't know about  Festivus, it is a time for letting people know your grievances and airing them out.
Boy can we use this holiday about now.

RIP Jerry. It would have been awesome to have him yelling at the players this year like that. Lotta problems with you PEOPLE!!!!

I thought it was a permanent daily holiday here. 

Ah, the Festivus "Airing of Grievances"! Let's dive into the frustrations surrounding the 2024 New York Giants and their dismal 2-13 record. Here are the grievances:

1. Coaching Decisions
> Questionable play-calling, especially on key downs, has left fans scratching their heads.
> Failure to adapt the game plan to opponents or make effective in-game adjustments.
> Clock management issues that seem to cost the team momentum or points.

2. Quarterback Play
> Inconsistent quarterback performances—whether it's turnovers, poor decision-making, or missed throws.
> A lack of chemistry with the wide receivers, leading to a sputtering passing game.

3. Offensive Line Woes
> Still one of the league's worst units despite multiple offseason investments.
> Constant penalties and blown assignments have turned the offense into a sack factory.

4. Injuries
> An endless carousel of injuries to key players, leaving the team relying on backups who aren't ready for prime time.
> Lack of durability in positions like running back and wide receiver has hamstrung any chance for sustained success.

5. Defensive Meltdowns
> A run defense that's about as sturdy as wet tissue paper.
> Poor tackling, blown coverages, and a non-existent pass rush at critical moments.
> The defense's inability to get off the field on third downs.

6. Front Office Missteps

>Missed opportunities in the draft and free agency to address glaring holes on the roster.
> Overpaying for players who haven't delivered (again!).

7. Lack of Discipline

> Penalties at the worst possible times, wiping out big plays or extending opponents' drives.
> Mental errors that highlight a lack of focus and preparation.

8. Special Teams Failures

> Missed field goals and extra points in key moments.
> Poor punt and kick coverage that routinely puts the defense in bad spots.

9. Lack of Identity

> Are they a running team? A passing team? A defensive juggernaut? No one knows because they're bad at all of it.
> The team seems lost week to week, with no clear strategy or plan to build on.

10. Fan Disillusionment

> Season ticket holders feel like they've been sold a lemon— again.
> The fan base is tired of hearing "rebuild" when this has been a recurring theme for over a decade.

Excellent list, Rich! 

I would add:

11. Owner Involvement

> Public comments regarding the team and/or players indirectly influence decisions
> Nepotism
