If this isn’t a tank by the Giants, it positive seems to be like one.
Baker Mayfield noticed what a joke that is Sunday.
The Buccaneers quarterback pumped each of his arms to the sky after a 10-yard landing run and principally flipped off all of MetLife Stadium by doing the Double DeVito:
He pinched two fingers to his thumb with each arms and raised his arms up and down, taunting the Giants, their management, quarterback Tommy DeVito and your entire fanbase.
Mayfield was calling this out for what it’s: a punchline, a circus, a poor excuse for an NFL opponent.
This 30-7 blowout loss, the Giants’ sixth straight defeat to fall to 2-9, confirmed the locker room’s skepticism of Joe Schoen’s and Brian Daboll’s operation after their shutdown and launch of Daniel Jones.
How can John Mara and Steve Tisch proceed to make use of Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll after this? Higher but, how can the NFL make America watch this on Thanksgiving Day?
Mara briskly walked previous reporters late within the fourth quarter and declined remark.
“Have a Happy Thanksgiving,” Mara mentioned as he handed.
Schoen and Daboll left out season-long backup Drew Lock to start out DeVito to “spark things,” in Daboll’s phrases. And it sparked issues alright.
It sparked a five-alarm hearth.
The Giants have been shut out within the first half for the second straight recreation and the third time this season. It additionally marked the fifth time in 11 video games that they’ve scored three or fewer factors within the first half.
Extremely, Schoen’s and Daboll’s Giants haven’t even held a single lead of their previous six video games since their final win Oct. 6 in Seattle.
Bucs coach Todd Bowles blitzed DeVito and the Giants offense into oblivion, holding DeVito to 5 yards passing within the first quarter and the Giants to 45 yards of offense the entire first half.
Lock ultimately needed to exchange DeVito for one snap within the fourth quarter when DeVito acquired smoked by Bucs lineman Calijah Kancey and needed to catch his breath on the sideline.
Malik Nabers had no targets within the first half and was sitting by himself on the sideline. Dexter Lawrence had his head in his arms after a nasty defensive drive.
This can be a group that doesn’t imagine in the place this system goes. This can be a locker room that noticed Jones scapegoated and didn’t like the way it went down.
That is the tip for Schoen and Daboll, no matter how lengthy it takes Mara and Tisch to really make the decision.
