Three Thoughts Following The New York Giants 25-3 Win Over Carolina Panthers
Gameday Recap - October 26, 2021
Speaking at his recent media availability this week, Judge put blame on himself first for the Giants 1-5 start and made a point to say “the fish stinks from the head”.
“There’s your answer. I’m the head coach. It’s my responsibility, point blank,” Judge said Thursday. “Every player on this field, every position group, the execution, it all comes down to me. The fish stinks from the head down.”
“I’ve been taught that from great guys who I worked for, played for. There are no excuses, no exceptions. You demand it from your coaches to make sure that the players are playing the right way. You demand it of the players to know what to do and then go out there to do it.”
Judge even made a promise to Giants fans last Monday that things would improve for the team and that the organization will be working tirelessly to ensure short and long-term success.
Again, this is something that the Giants fan would want to hear from a young head coach. A resounding affirmation of confidence.
However on Sunday, Judge and his football team didn’t just let his words fall on deaf ears and perform business as usual.
Instead, the Giants returned to MetLife Stadium, backed their head coach with a resounding performance for sixty minutes, found ways to get over the faults that have haunted them, and walked off with a much needed win.
