The weirdest thing about Judge too... it's like this year he was the exact opposite of last year. During the 2020 season, the team had a bad record, but you could see the improvement week to week. There was very little confusion among the players; everyone knew their job. Players were utilized to their (often very limited) strengths. In-game decisions were good... there was hardly ever a time where I said, "why the fuck did Judge to that," except possibly for for a few challenges. The team really looked like they had bought in.
This year? Literally every game I'd say, "why the fuck did they do that?" "What are they thinking with this game plan?" "Why are we calling our second timeout in the first quarter?" Players flat-out looked like they didn't want to be here. I know the defense kept fighting, but after that third loss of the season I think the offense realized the season was over... in September.
I wonder what happened to Judge and the coaching staff to get everything so ass-backwards in year two. It's almost like they said, "let's do the exact opposite of what worked for us last year."
