EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — A technological glitch left the microphones in the news conference room at MetLife Stadium dealing with an echo, and for a few moments, Giants Coach Pat Shurmur was forced to talk over himself.
“It’s disappointing when you lose,” Shurmur said after Sunday’s game.
“Disappointing, disappointing, disappointing.” The words kept resounding.
Glitches were to be expected. The transition to a new coach is not always seamless. Sometimes, there are echoes from the past.
There were some good memories revived: Odell Beckham Jr. streaking across the field with defenders giving chase, Eli Manning connecting on pass after pass and the Giants’ defense strengthening in the second half.
