The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly from the Giants 37-21 Loss to the LA Chargers
Gameday Coverage - December 14, 2021
“Before his team departed Hard Rock Stadium in Miami with a 20-9 loss to the Dolphins eight days ago, Joe Judge felt he had a great idea to help his players bond and rediscover their identity that’s been nonexistent the entire season.
Boarding the plane with their eighth loss of the year, the Giants would skip returning home to the noise and negative (deservedly so) distractions in New York for the seclusion and soul-searching desert of Tucson, Arizona. Spending the week practicing at the University of Arizona, Big Blue would figure out who they wanted to be and correct the lingering issues that have plagued them as the final stretch of the season drew near in Los Angeles.
Unfortunately for Judge, his team’s identity as a losing, offensively inept football team had been long established this season. And certainly, an organized retreat in the middle of nowhere and away from the metaphorical heat of New York didn’t fix that as the Giants faced the Chargers on Sunday.
Entering SoFi Stadium for their first matchup in four years, the Chargers added a new element to the storied connection between the two franchises, one the Giants would now like to forget.”
A Sunday Giants postgame recap and reactionary piece for Talking Points Sports following New York’s Week 14 thrashing to the Los Angeles Chargers. I tied the storyline of this game and the quarterbacks matchup back to the infamous Eli Manning relationship and proceeded to analyze the good, the bad, and everything in between as the Giants season spiraled further out of control.
