The losing seems to be putting on on Giants admirers, several of whom are paying out their hard-acquired dollars for tickets. They are having to pay some of the optimum rates in the NFL, and not finding the solution they desire.
New York has shed all three of its video games at MetLife Stadium this yr by a put together rating of 82-38. It has misplaced 26 of its 35 at dwelling given that the commence of 2017. The crew also has the worst overall document in the NFL considering the fact that then.
“What did I think of it? Yeah, they ended up upset,” quarterback Daniel Jones stated. “We did not play perfectly. We have been surely upset about that as well.”
Williams seemingly understands the aggravation. But he thinks it really should be handled differently.
The veteran lineman, who also performed from 2015 to ’19 with the New York Jets, apparently was found hushing the fans at one stage.
“I do not consider any one justifies to be place down no subject who you are,” Williams reported. “I am not heading to go up to a salesman and inform him he’s not a great individual or boo this individual mainly because he is not carrying out his job or a thing like that.”
That analogy will not appear to be to completely implement. Giants followers are shelling out to be shoppers and, in this situation, they were not essentially booing Williams straight. They ended up showing their disgust with the team and the products they were being consuming.
The Giants trailed 38-3 in the fourth quarter on Sunday.
“I just claimed I understood why admirers would be upset,” Williams explained. “Yeah, it would not issue what I consider. I go out there and play soccer. I never sit there in the stands. I can not see it from their viewpoint.”
It was not the initial time this Giants crew was booed this season. There have been boos at some position all through each individual of the to start with a few residence game titles.
Giants proprietor John Mara was even booed vociferously throughout a halftime ceremony celebrating the occupation of legendary quarterback Eli Manning at their last residence match from the Atlanta Falcons final thirty day period.
“I would boo, as well,” Mara said in the hallway heading to his suite before the start of the third quarter of that contest. “We’re -2 and down at fifty percent.”
They’re 1-5 and not in a a lot far better place now.
