New York Giants veteran wide receiver Golden Tate had a message for Big Blue fans following a 34-27 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium and it’s not the sort of message they are interested in hearing right now.
“You know, well first I’m going to apologize to the Giants pride because I know how important this game is. I know we were expecting to come out and get a big time win against the other New York team, but we didn’t,” Tate told reporters. “The only thing I can ask at this point is just be patient and try to trust the process. Just know the people inside the building, we’re working, we still believe we can, we’ve just got to go out there and do it.”
This is like a broken record for Giants fans, who have been blindly “trusting the process” since 2012. And all they’ve gotten for their faith is one of the worst stretches in the history of Giants football.
“I think they should be as disappointed with the fact that we lost as I am. That’s what I would say,” head coach Pat Shurmur said when asked what he’d say to the fans.
An admittedly “embarrassed” Jabrill Peppers, who very clearly wasn’t interested in discussing the latest loss but fielded questions like a champ anyway, was equally as blunt when asked about his message to fans.
“We are fed up too. At the end of the day, everybody can feel how they feel, we are going to go back to the drawing board, put together a good two weeks of work and come out of this bye week ready to go,” Peppers said.
So there you have it, Giants fans. The team is sorry and asking you to trust the process.
