The New York Giants have been manhandled by the Baltimore Ravens, 35-15, on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, the place one other fan protest passed off within the type of a airplane banner studying, “Mr. Mara enough. We won’t stop until you fire everyone.”
It’s the second consecutive week a banner flew over the stadium and sadly for the Giants, it was the spotlight of the day.
The Giants have now misplaced a franchise-record 9 straight video games and are 0-8 at house on the season. They play the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16 earlier than returning to MetLife Stadium in Week 17 to host the Indianapolis Colts. They might turn into the primary group in NFL historical past to lose 9 house video games in a single season.
As we enter Week 16, right here’s a take a look at the place the Giants place in a large number of energy rankings.
Nate Davis, USA TODAY:
Laborious to determine how QB4 Tim Boyle retains getting employed – didn’t the Giants see him play for the Jets in 2023? – however this franchise appears decided to make its a centesimal season its worst.
Barry Werner, Record Wire:
The Giants had no reply for Lamar Jackson. Not a shock, since they haven’t had a solution for anybody this season.
NFL Nation, ESPN:
Look, it’s slim pickings right here with the Giants on a nine-game skid. However the operating sport has gotten progressively higher. With rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. because the lead possibility, New York had a three-game stretch in November when it averaged 163 speeding yards per sport. Among the credit score must go to the offensive line. That is the energy of the now-beleaguered unit.
The Giants can’t get out of their very own manner or preserve quarterbacks wholesome. They most likely gained’t preserve Brian Daboll as offensive coordinator, both.
Frank Schwab, Yahoo! Sports activities:
The Giants aren’t leaving a lot doubt about them getting a top-two draft choose. They aren’t aggressive, extra accidents at quarterback have made them even worse, and it’s exhausting to see them profitable one other sport.
Diante Lee, The Ringer:
With quarterback Drew Lock already inactive due to accidents and Tommy DeVito exiting Sunday’s sport with a concussion, the Giants needed to flip to journeyman quarterback Tim Boyle to complete the sport. This has been a catastrophe of a season for New York, but sending Boyle right into a sport towards the Ravens was a brand new circle of hell. He accomplished 12 of his 24 move makes an attempt, however most of these completions felt like accidents, and the Ravens missed a number of alternatives to make Boyle’s stat line look even worse. I’m begging the Giants to do no matter it takes to repair this quarterback state of affairs in 2025.
Alex Kennedy, Professional Soccer Community:
This has been a season to neglect for New York. The Giants misplaced their ninth consecutive sport on Sunday, getting blown out 35-14 by Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Jackson did no matter he wished, finishing 21 of 25 passes for 290 yards, 5 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions whereas including 65 speeding yards.
Offensively, the Giants performed their fourth quarterback of the season, with Tim Boyle stepping below heart since Tommy DeVito suffered a concussion and Drew Lock had heel and elbow accidents. Boyle was superb, however this season can’t finish quickly sufficient for New York.
Thankfully for the Giants, PFN’s mannequin at the moment offers New York one of the best odds (36.8%) to land the No. 1 general choose within the 2025 NFL Draft. New York nonetheless has contests towards the Eagles, Colts, and Falcons (street).
It will likely be attention-grabbing to see if the Giants half methods with head coach Brian Daboll. Whereas he’s had some powerful outings, loads of franchises would love to rent him if New York fires him.
