The New York Giants are now 2-8 on the season after falling to the Carolina Panthers 20-17 in an overtime loss Sunday morning. It was an ugly showing, as New York blew their chances after turning the ball over in overtime. Quarterback Daniel Jones had a rough outing, as he finished with just 190 passing yards and two interceptions while completing 22 passes out of 37 attempts.
However, he did manage to record 26 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. They're now just one loss away from having a guaranteed losing season. If that's the case, this would be two consecutive years in a row where the Giants end the football year with a losing record.
Despite finishing his first year with a 9-7 record and making a playoff appearance as head coach of the Giants, Brian Daboll has gone 6-11 in the 2023-24 season while owning a 2-8 record this year. The struggles and continued failures had Pat Leonard, a team beat writer, call for the franchise to fire Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen. © Robert Deutsch-Imagn Images Between the mishaps in the 2023 season and the issues we've seen in 2024, Leonard makes an argument for the Giants' ownership to pull the plug on both Daboll and Schoen.
He points to Sunday's loss to the Panthers in Munich, Germany, as the tipping point for Daboll's and Schoen's tenure. "The Giants need to fire everybody. Joe Schoen.
Brian Daboll. Blow it up. Unless John Mara and Steve Tisch are OK with being the laughingstock that lost to the horrendous Carolina Panthers with the world watching, 20-17 in overtime, on Sunday in Munich, Germany.
"Unless the Giants' two co-owners subscribe to the consistently pushed narrative that this is only Daniel Jones' fault. For the 100th time in this Giants 100th season, Jones is not good enough, but he remains only one of the franchise's many fatal flaws." Leonard also points out how the coaching isn't living up to expectations while the roster remains to have a serious lack of talent.
Those are two problems that ideally wouldn't be issues three years into the job. "The Giants don't have enough talent in year three of this regime. They don't manage games well.
They have lost five in a row. They can't stop the run. Their pass rush has disappeared.
They are the NFL's lowest-scoring team. They were shut out in Sunday's first half — again. "Punt returner Ihmir Smith-Marsette punched a Panther in the face.
Daboll stormed around on the sidelines and threw up his hands whenever Jones made key mistakes." Mara did claim that both Daboll's and Schoen's jobs are safe until the end of the season, at the very least. However, we've seen professional sports teams say one thing and then do the opposite often.
The Giants have a bye week in Week 11. They'll return to action in Week 12 for their next contest on Nov. 24 when they face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a home game.
