Giants fans already feel the season is over after just one horrendous game

After four quarters of football, Giants fans are already feeling hopeless.

Nothing felt different for the Giants on Sunday as they were embarrassed by the Vikings 28-6 in their season opener at MetLife Stadium, with fans booing and leaving early as they watched what appeared to be signs that this season will be no better than the last.

Post readers responding to a poll inside the story online of the Giants’ loss on Sunday are overwhelmingly resigned to another miserable campaign.

As of early Monday afternoon, with 2,000 respondents, 92.7 percent of fans said they do not have hope for the Giants in 2024 and they feel it’ll be similar to 2023, with only a small few taking the optimistic approach that they can bounce back after one bad performance.

“An overreaction is appropriate when something bad happens to something that should be good. The Giants are an embarrassment as an organization and have been for over a decade,” Giants fan Ed A wrote in response to a column by Mike Vaccaro.

“No need to be alarmed or over react to a loss from a team that will NEVER be anything but garbage.”

Daniel Jones began his make-or-break season in the worst way possible, going 22-for-42 with 186 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions while getting sacked five times.

He appeared more haunted than his Vikings counterpart Sam Darnold, who once said he was “seeing ghosts” while playing a 2019 game at MetLife for the Jets during a blowout loss to the Patriots.

Darnold, starting for Minnesota with rookie J.J. McCarthy out for the season following knee surgery, was 19-for-24 with 208 yards, two touchdowns and an interception on Sunday.

Some Giants fans who attended the game were so fed up with Jones, who’s in the second year of a four-year, $160 million contract, that they heckled the 27-year-old as he walked out of the player’s entrance after the game.

“I think it’s our job to give them something to cheer about and to play well, to execute,’’ Jones, the No. 6 overall pick in 2019, said after the game. “We take that seriously. They expect us to play well, we expect to play well. We’ve got to do that.’’

If the Giants decide to move on from Jones after this season, they can cut him and take on a manageable $22.2 million in dead cap space.

In the short-term, if they decide to bench Jones, they have fellow 2019 draft pick Drew Lock, whom they signed in the offseason to replace Tyrod Taylor as the backup, and Tommy DeVito, who as a fill-in last year went 3-3 as a starter, which included a three-game winning streak.
