Joe Judge promises things will get better

Fans, at least the ones bothering to show up, are booing. The Giants are steamrolling toward a fifth straight double-digit loss season. Head coach Joe Judge was asked if he could give fans any assurance things would improve. He tried.

“This is definitely going to get better, so there you go. I don’t know what kind of guarantee they want, but I can assure everyone out there that’s a Giants fan and they want to know when it’s going to turn. I can tell them right now we’re working tirelessly to make sure we get this thing turned around in the right direction, not just for short-term results, but for long-term success,” Judge said.

Valentine’s View: Words. Meaningless ones that we have heard before. Too many times. From too many head coaches. I understand the question put Judge in a no-win situation. Still, vague, empty promises are not what is needed. Better football is needed. Victories are needed.

Soon, maybe as soon as this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, Leonard Williams and his teammates are going to be greeted by something worse than booing. Empty MetLife Stadium seats and silence.
