The Falcons‘ domed Mercedes-Benz Stadium saved co-owner John Mara from watching a third plane fly overhead with another mandate to fire his GM and head coach and start over.
But Mara can expect another one next weekend when the Giants (2-13) aim for the first 0-9 home record in NFL history and the first winless Giants season at home since 1974.

Michael Penix Jr., a quarterback the Giants handed on in April, performed capably to beat them in his first-ever NFL begin. Operating again Bijan Robinson rushed for 2 touchdowns and had no drawback gaining yards when he wanted them.
A nervous Schoen claimed “we’re not far off” on Nov. 12 throughout the Giants’ bye week, when the crew shut down after which launched franchise quarterback Daniel Jones.
Since then, the Giants have misplaced 5 video games by a mixed rating of 140-59. However these stats don’t even inform the true story of how dangerous it’s been. They’ve scored 32 of these factors in fourth quarters, 24 of them throughout rubbish time of blowouts.
So this isn’t a typo: the Giants have scored 27 whole factors within the first three quarters of their final 5 video games.
Daboll’s offense dedicated 5 penalties and a turnover on downs on Sunday’s ultimate drive for good measure. Malik Nabers undercut setting the Giants’ rookie receptions report with two extra unlawful shift penalties and solely seven catches on 14 targets.
Michael Ghobrial’s particular groups unit additionally had a punt blocked.
That’s 2024 Giants bingo: All three phases unacceptably dangerous.
How Mara is definitely contemplating bringing both this GM or coach again is unthinkable.
The primary airplane that flew over MetLife Stadium on Dec. 8 earlier than a loss to the Saints carried a banner that learn: “MR MARA ENOUGH – PLZ FIX THIS DUMPSTER FIRE.”
One other airplane flew over MetLife earlier than final week’s loss to the Ravens with a stronger message streaming behind it: ‘MR. MARA ENOUGH. WE WON’T STOP UNTIL YOU FIRE EVERYONE.’
On Dec. 10, 1978, a fan flew a rented airplane overhead throughout a win over the St. Louis Cardinals with an indication that learn: “15 Yrs of Lousy Football….We’ve Had Enough.”
Who would have thought that the dysfunction of these darkish days would solely be topped throughout the group’s one hundredth season?
Don’t fear: they’ve two extra video games towards the Colts and Eagles to make this even worse.
