The lone exception was an \u201cimproved\u201d 2-6 start last season.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Giants\u2019 first-half records since 2013 are: 2-6, 3-5, 4-4, 5-3, 1-7, 1-7, 2-6 and 1-7.<\/p>\n<p>So, you are excused if first-year coach Joe Judge\u2019s weekly message about an improving team sounds too familiar \u2026 but there\u2019s some truth behind it.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants\u2019 average margin of defeat in the first half of the season was 13 points in 2017, 8.5 in 2018 and 13.6 in 2019. It\u2019s down to 7.8 this season even with the inflation caused by a 27-point loss to the 49ers.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=ADL6390827417&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cA loss is a loss,\u201d safety Jabrill Peppers said, \u201cbut it\u2019s not like we\u2019re going out there and getting our a\u2013 kicked. I definitely think we\u2019re trending in the right direction. Yeah, we would like to be in that win column, but we\u2019ve got half the season left. The weather is about to break and we\u2019re hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Five of the Giants\u2019 seven losses \u2014 and the one win \u2014 were decided in the final minute. The losses could be named like episodes of \u201cFriends:\u201d The one with the picked-up penalty flag (Buccaneers). The one with the dropped pass (Eagles). The one with the walk-off kick (Cowboys). The one with the red-zone interception (Rams). The one without urgent clock management (Bears).<\/p>\n<p>It is not easy to beat Judge\u2019s Giants but, for now, it is almost impossible to get beat by them. The Giants are on pace for a 2-14 finish and the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the way they are playing, there is little reason to believe it will be that bad. On the flip side, given the way they manufacture losing into an inevitability, there are no assurances they will win again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClose isn\u2019t good enough in this business,\u201d Judge said. \u201cWe have to keep pushing forward and get the results that we\u2019re working for. But it starts with eliminating those mistakes to reap the rewards of hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>The Giants have rotated three tackles to get rookie backup Matt Peart experience with starters Andrew Thomas and Cam Fleming. They now will do the same at guard whenever Will Hernandez comes off the COVID-19 restricted list \u2014 his streak of 2,523 consecutive snaps to begin his career ended \u2014 because rookie Shane Lemieux filled in adequately in his first career start and veteran Kevin Zeitler was not traded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI say all the time, \u2018I plan on everyone who goes to the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> playing for us,\u2019 \u201d Judge said. \u201cThat\u2019s not just lip service.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Judge, 38, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_JoeJudge\">recently joined Twitter<\/a>.
