"While Big Blue was getting ransacked in a 34-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers a 10-point deficit that was more of a consolation prize due to Daboll's alarming usage of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart late in an unwinnable game Giants fans had to sit through the afternoon while being largely outnumbered by a sea of red and gold. Imagine how Lawrence Taylor or Phil Simms felt seeing that?"
"Even Dart, who has tried to toe the line of conservatism in his first foray into life as a pro, could not help hiding some of his disappointment in the fan turnout. That was interesting, Dart said. I've never played at a home game where I felt like it was kind of lopsided in that department. But they have a good fan base, and they traveled well."
"This is the third consecutive season in which they have started 2-7 under Daboll with a roster constructed by Schoen. Even while Dart appears to be the real deal, he is stuck in an ineffective offensive scheme with a depleted supporting cast around him. The Giants are without their top wide receiver, Malik Nabers, and lost rookie running back sensation Cam Skattebo to a dislocated ankle in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles."
The New York Giants lost 34-24 to the San Francisco 49ers while MetLife Stadium was heavily populated by visiting fans, prompting player embarrassment. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart played late in an unwinnable game amid criticism of questionable usage by the coaching staff. The team has started 2-7 for a third consecutive season under coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen. Injuries and absences have depleted the roster, including the loss of Malik Nabers and rookie running back Cam Skattebo to a dislocated ankle, leaving an otherwise promising quarterback in an ineffective offensive scheme.
