One other dangerous NFL crew is coming to MetLife Stadium to beat the Giants (2-13) on Sunday.
And this defeat will make extra historical past.
Sunday’s upcoming loss to the Indianapolis Colts (7-8) will drop the Giants to 0-9 at MetLife Stadium and hand them their first winless dwelling season since 1974, once they went 0-7 on the Yale Bowl.
It additionally will prolong their franchise-record shedding streak to 11 video games. And it would even set a report low for attendance.
“You want to give them a better product in terms of the results that we’re putting out there right now, but certainly appreciate them,” head coach Brian Daboll stated of his message to the followers.
Fairly an inspirational speech there.
Day-after-day that John Mara and Steve Tisch retain this regime of GM Joe Schoen and Daboll is an insult to the usual they declare to have in East Rutherford, N.J.
Mara wrote a letter to a disgruntled fan this week saying “there are no excuses” for the Giants’ report. And the co-owner vowed: “All I can do is promise that we will do whatever we have to in the off season to put a team on the field in 2025 that you can once again be proud of.”
However these phrases solely will matter if Mara and Tisch take the suitable actions to again them up.
And proper now, it’s onerous to believe that they’ll do what it takes. As a result of all the nationwide leaks proceed to suggest that the Giants doubtless will fireplace Daboll and retain Schoen.
One report on NFL Community referred to how Schoen and Daboll “aren’t necessarily a package deal.”
For the one centesimal time, nonetheless — one for yearly this franchise has been in existence — firing solely the coach wouldn’t present an sincere reckoning or accounting of blame, since Schoen is concerned in each side of this disintegrated operation.
The followers have a agency maintain on this actuality. Largely they seem to grasp — not like Giants possession — that no a part of this present entrance workplace or teaching workers is value salvaging.
A number of planes reportedly have been grounded from flying over MetLife Stadium on Sunday on account of climate, however one’s message was going to be: “Mr. Mara — enough… Clean house or sell the team.” The opposite was going to be: “Are drones searching for Giants wins at home?”
And there’s reportedly a Saquon Barkley-themed airplane deliberate to fly over the Giants-Eagles Jan. 5 season finale at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Monetary Area with the message: “TY NY for No. 26.”
For now, the gamers have two extra video games to play. Two extra embarrassing Sundays to endure.
“We ain’t expecting anybody to come save us, so it’s on us,” edge rusher Brian Burns stated. “Either you gonna fight or lay down.”
However after shedding 34-7 to the Atlanta Falcons earlier than Christmas, why would anybody give the Giants an opportunity on Sunday or in some other recreation?
Purple-hot Colts working again Jonathan Taylor is ready to go off on the Giants’ Thirty first-ranked run protection in each yards per carry allowed (5.2) and yards per recreation allowed (142.6).
The Giants will lose their eleventh straight.
And Mara’s and Tisch’s arguments for retaining any a part of this management group intact will ultimately attain zero p.c of their fan base.
In any case, by Week 18, the vast majority of them may have brown luggage over their heads.
FLACCO MAKING THE START
Former Raven and Jet Joe Flacco will begin at quarterback for the Colts on Sunday as a result of Anthony Richardson (again/foot) is injured and out. Richardson was benched for poor efficiency in late September for Flacco, however then Flacco, 39, was benched for Richardson in mid-November after throwing three interceptions in a loss to the Buffalo Payments. Flacco has 1,167 passing yards, 9 TD passes and 5 interceptions this season.
MCFADDEN, SCHMITZ BOTH OUT
Two extra Giants starters are out in Week 17 on account of accidents: center linebacker Micah McFadden (neck) and heart John Michael Schmitz (ankle). Security Raheem Layne (knee) and nook Greg Stroman (shoulder/shin) additionally gained’t play.
