Is there a conspiracy by the NFL to punish the New York Giants? One might think so as the league handed the Giants the most ill-conceived training camp schedule possible.  Thanks to league rules governing how many practices a team can have before its first exhibition game, the Giants were the last team in the league to start camp.

Now, after playing Monday night the Giants have to turn around and be in Chicago to face the Bears for their second game just five days later.

That means they practiced on Wednesday, will practice Thursday, and have a quick walk-thru Friday morning. Seems a little rushed even if it is just preseason.

For the Bears they will be looking to get their first win after franchise QB Jay Cutler did not live up to the hype in his debut, as the Bears lost 27-20 at Buffalo.
