No one is saying the NY Giants have a great roster or the players are executing well but the coaching staff continues to put the players in bad situations.
The NY Giants’ clock management seems to be a topic of conversation every week now.
The play calling has been a topic of conversation since last year.
The NY Giants’ coaching has been a mess and it has been the difference in a lot of close games.
After Monday night’s 20-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the NY Giants sit at 2-6 in the midst of another disappointing season.
If little things had gone New York’s way, they could have five wins instead of two. It’s now three late-game losses on field goals in games the NY Giants outplayed the opposition. The Washington, Atlanta and now Kansas City games could have all had different outcomes.
Head Coach Joe Judge continues to use timeouts like they are unlimited. Once again the NY Giants we’re down to 1 timeout before the 4th quarter. Judge also made a huge mistake not taking a timeout before the two-minute warning before the Chiefs kicked the game-winning field goal. As if the clock management wasn’t bad enough Judge made it worse in the postgame presser.
It wasn’t just poor clock management at the end of the game but also at the end of the half. The NY Giants were again short on timeouts and instead of trying for another score down 14-10 settled for the conservative play and went to half time.
Joe Judge said the #Giants have been having headset issues all season which is why they’ve burned a lot of timeouts at inopportune times. Said he’s contacted the league.

“They better get it fixed fast.”
It’s not just the clock management but it’s the overall scheme and the decision-making for the NY Giants.
The NY Giants play scared.
On a fourth-down and two in the red zone, the NY Giants settled for a field goal.
Later in the game, the NY Giants settled again on a fourth down-and three. The NY Giants are scared to take risks. Jason Garrett continues to be very predictable in his play calling.
That debacle of a “two-minute drill” at the end of the first half seemed to be more intent on draining clock than scoring. Bottom line, Judge’s conservative approach just hasn’t worked: https://t.co/vyQ125eXlQ pic.twitter.com/i9pKDYW0Pa

The NY Giants have battled injures, they have had inconsistent play, and have faced some tough teams. However, the NY Giants continue to deal with poor coaching. It’s evident in the play-calling, clock management, and discipline of the players. Coaching matters in the NFL.
