The New York Giants’ season is unraveling in dramatic fashion, and it’s clear that things have reached a breaking point.

With key decisions like benching Daniel Jones and replacing him with Tommy DeVito in a humiliating Week 12 loss, the Giants’ future has never seemed more uncertain.

The New York Giants’ troubles show no signs of ending. On Saturday, November 23, the team officially parted ways with Daniel Jones, opting to play Tommy DeVito in their crushing Week 12 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, head coach Brian Daboll finds himself in the hot seat, with growing criticism from fans and analysts alike. The big question looms: is there any way back for Daboll? The outlook doesn’t seem promising.
SNY reporter Connor Hughes didn’t hold back in his criticism of both Daboll and GM Joe Schoen. Reflecting on the current turmoil, Hughes noted, “A few weeks ago, Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen received votes of confidence from John Mara, essentially barring unforeseen circumstances, the two would be back for the team in 2025. Those unforeseen circumstances are here.” The Giants’ season has spiraled into uncharted depths, leaving fans in disbelief after Week 12’s disastrous performance.
The Buccaneers dismantled the Giants with ease, leading 30-0 by the third quarter. Defensive end Kalijeh Cancey’s stunning 95-yard fumble return only added to the embarrassment. A late Giants touchdown barely softened the 30-7 blow, but the game reflected their woeful season.
At 2-9, the Giants are on pace for their worst record since 1979 (6-10). With tensions rising in the locker room and a rookie voicing concerns about the team’s direction, the franchise faces mounting criticism. Can they turn things around, or is the worst yet to come?

Malik Nabers aims Giants amid Daboll criticism
Malik Nabers, the 6th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, is frustrated after a brutal 6-game losing streak. Following a tough loss, the rookie wide receiver vented,“First, second quarter, I don’t get the ball. Start getting targets at the end. I mean, can’t do nothing. Start getting the ball when it’s 30-0. What do you want me to do?” Against the Bucs, Nabers had 9 targets and 6 rushes for 42 yards— all in the second half. Head coach Brian Daboll took the blame for the game plan, saying, “The game got away from us and turned into a pass-a-thon, which is not what we want to do.” (via: EssentiallySports)
The franchise is struggling, and the head coach’s job is on the line. Without quick changes, the Giants could finish last in the NFL in 2024.
