NFL Fans Roast Daniel Jones, Tracy, Giants for Loss to Bryce Young, Chuba, Panthers

The New York Giants’ season — and perhaps the Daniel Jones era for that matter — hit a new nadir as the team lost 20-17 in overtime to the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany on Sunday.

A 42-yard field goal by Graham Gano in the waning seconds of regulation forced overtime. Rather than giving the Giants a change to salvage victory from the jaws of defeat, the extra period only brought more embarrassment.

Running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. fumbled on the first play of OT, and the Panthers recovered the ball on New York’s 23-yard line.

Man, that sucks for Tyrone Tracy.
He’s been one of the Giants’ best players this season, didn’t deserve to be the guy that cost them at the death.

Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro split the uprights from 36 yards out to hand Carolina the win.

While Tracy’s fumble was the most pivotal play in the game, he may escape some of the scrutiny that comes with such a costly turnover. And he can thank his quarterback for that.

Trailing by 10 points, Jones scored on a two-yard touchdown run to make it a three-point game with 8:33 on the clock in the fourth quarter.

New York’s offense was presented with a golden opportunity to take the lead a little bit later thanks to a fumble by Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard. That set up the Giants with a 1st-and-10 just outside of the red zone.

They failed to come away with any points after Jones threw an interception, his second of the contest. The play was a perfect microcosm of the team’s campaign between Jones not making a great throw and the ball bouncing off Tracy’s hands.

Jones wound up with 190 yards and the two picks through the air.

It looks increasingly like the sixth-year signal-caller is on borrowed time in the Big Apple. The progress he made in 2022 was a mirage, and he simply isn’t the solution at the position.

After a showing like Sunday, head coach Brian Daboll might feel it’s time to rip the bandage off. Some on social media believe the change is warranted.

Barring something miraculous here, I think we are watching Daniel Jones’ last snaps as a Giant.
Drew Lock is obviously not the answer, but the 23M injury guarantee for 2025 for Jones means at 2-8 it’d be insane to let him play another snap. https://t.co/pzBbLiKqBZ

Why is everyone so surprised by Daniel Jones’ performance?!?!?
This has been who he is for 95%+ of his career.
It’s who he was coming out of college—it’s who he has been as a pro.

Ian Hartitz @Ihartitz

Tyrone Tracy might have directly dropped the pass and caused it to get intercepted but I still blame Daniel Jones because that’s my right as an American

Justin Penik @JustinPenik

Drew Lock. Now. It’s enough.

charles (“you look good” – andy reid) mcdonald @FourVerts

drew lock is unironically better than this

Brett Kollmann @BrettKollmann

The Giants are paying 40 million dollars a year for this.
40 million dollars. FOR THIS.

TheGiantsWire @TheGiantsWire

Daniel Jones is doing everything he possibly can to lose this game, end his Giants career and possibly get another regime fired.

Giants Daily @NYGDaily

Brian Daboll, for your sake, bench this guy.

Bill Simmons @BillSimmons

A Daniel Jones 2 minute drill in Germany against a terrible Panthers team is an incredible start to the day. It’s like jumping in a cold plunge pool.

New York’s organization as a whole received plenty of scorn as well:

Danny Heifetz @Danny_Heifetz

It is so embarrassing to be a Giants fan when everyone is watching the Giants. Like yes, this is what I do in my spare time.

Bill Barnwell @billbarnwell

The Giants didn’t pay a running back $13 million per year so they could pay a running back $40 million per year. pic.twitter.com/vni3X4zSiu

Ralph Vacchiano @RalphVacchiano

Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary are averaging 4.6 yards per carry today. Tracy had run 3 times for 21 yards on this drive alone.
So on 3rd and 1, Brian Daboll calls … a flea flicker? pic.twitter.com/ggfCkOVKAd

Robert Mays @robertmays

The ability to accurately and honestly assess where you are as a team is half the battle for any young regime in the NFL. The Giants’ failure to do that after the 2022 season is a big part of why they’re here right now.

For the time being at least, the Giants now own the worst record in the NFL all by themselves at 2-8. If fans haven’t given up on the playoffs already, then they probably are now. Their mindsets are shifting instead toward the 2025 NFL draft and where the G-Men will be picking in the first round.

Alex Wilson @AlexWilsonESM

Tyrone Tracy has no idea that fumble was the best possible thing he could’ve done for the future of this team 😂

Blames @blames_

Tyrone Tracy probably thinks he let Giants fans down which couldn’t be further from the truth lol

The higher the pick, the better shot New York will have to land a long-term replacement for Jones.

In the meantime, benching Jones might be under serious consideration if only because the Giants have a bye in Week 11. That would give backup Drew Lock a little more time to get accustomed to the starter role and for some of the inevitable discourse to quiet down a bit before the team’s next game.
