Goals clear for Coach Judge: "Close isn't good enough"
Joe Judge takes no solace in almost winning and has no illusions about what it will take for the Giants to begin earning victories.
For the fourth week in a row and the sixth time this season, the Giants last night played in a one-score game. They lost at home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 25-23, in a contest essentially decided when the officials picked up a flag and declared no pass interference penalty had been committed on the Giants' potential game-tying two-point conversion attempt with 28 seconds remaining.
It was the fourth consecutive Giants' game and third straight loss decided by three points or less. They lost in Dallas, 37-34, on a last-play field goal and in Philadelphia, 22-21, after a late 11-point lead evaporated. The Giants did beat the Washington Football Team, 20-19, when WFT coach Ron Rivera opted after a late touchdown to try to win the game instead of taking his chances in overtime. The Giants stopped that two-point conversion attempt and held on for their only victory of the season.
But while close scores look better than blowouts, the standings reflect the Giants' reality. They are 1-7 and at the bottom of the division as they prepare for a rematch with Washington Sunday in FedExField.
On a Zoom call today, Judge laid out a path to improvement in the second half of the season.
"I think the first thing is you just have to eliminate the mistakes and give yourself a chance to win," Judge said. "We have to start doing things in that position, eliminating these mistakes, to reap the rewards of our hard work. But I see this team making a lot of progress. I see them being close, obviously, in a lot of situations. Close isn't good enough in this business. We have to keep pushing forward and get the results that we're working for. But it starts with eliminating those mistakes."
