Giants, again, lifeless in Another Loss
Another week, another unwatchable effort for the New York Giants.
It has become commonplace of late here in the 2021-22 season as the Giants managed only one field goal, and finished the game with minus-10 yards passing in a 29-3 loss to the Chicago Bears.
It was the third time in the last five games that the G-Men failed to score a touchdown, and the fourth time in five weeks they failed to score more than 10 points.
Head Coach Joe Judge emphatically tried to defend his players after another dispiriting defeat:
“This ain’t a team that is having fistfights on the sidelines. This ain’t some clown show organization or something else,” Judge said. “You talk about the foundation built. The toughest thing to change in a team, in a club, is the way people think. You understand that? That is the toughest thing. You can get new players. You can have your damn locker room all you want. You have to change how people think. You have to change how they (BLEEP)ing believe in what you’re doing. And they have to trust the process. And that is a lot easier said than done when they’re looking up right now and you’ve got one game left and the most you can win is five this season.
“But I guarantee you this: Those men are going to walk in Wednesday and be ready to roll. We’re going to practice hard on Wednesday, practice hard on Thursday and Friday. And we’re going to play for each other when we get on the field next week.”
Mike Glennon completed four of 11 passes for 24 yards. Because he was sacked four times for minus-34 years, the Giants finished with negative net yardage in the passing game.
The only real positive was Saquon Barkely breaking 100 yards rushing on the day for Big Blue.
The Giants fell behind early when Glennon was strip sacked by Chiacgo. The Bears quickly turned the gaff into points on the first of two rushing touchdowns for David Montgomery to give the Bears a 7-0 lead. They would never look back.
The Giants finish the season at MetLife Stadium next Sunday against Washington.
