The New York Giants’ 2021 season ended with a pathetic 22-7 loss to the Washington Football Team at a desolate MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
It was their sixth straight loss and their 13th of the season. The Giants have now lost 10 or more games five years in a row and seven of the last eight.
Head coach Joe Judge, hired to change the culture from one of hopeless losing to a winning one, has gone 10-23 in his two seasons here.
With the man that hired him (Dave Gettleman) heading out the door, Judge will meet with the front office to discuss his future with the team, if he still has one.
“It’ll definitely be this week,” Judge said of his sit-down with owner John Mara. “I’ll keep that between us internally in terms of when something’s scheduled.”
For the moment, Judge is forging ahead as if he has a future in East Rutherford.
“I’m not going to worry about these hypotheticals right now,” Judge said after the game when asked about his status. “I appreciate it. I understand it’s going to be the question of the day. Just understand that it falls under my baseline answer of hypotheticals.”
Judge knows the issues his team has, especially on offense where they averaged just 9.8 points per game over the final eight contests of the season.
But through it all, Judge never lost the locker room. To his credit, the Giants played hard for 18 weeks despite the fruitlessness of their efforts.
“I’m proud of the team for things they’ve done and fought through and stayed together as a team this year,” Judge said. “Ultimately, it’s not good enough. The fans deserve better. It doesn’t meet our expectations as a program. It’s not going to be acceptable and the things we have to correct we’re going to start on immediately going forward in the future and start on next season.”
