EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- It really did not take long for The big apple Giants enthusiasts to reach their boiling point-- 2 plays into the period opener, to become exact.That is when the booing started. It went on sporadically for 4 quarters throughout a 28-6 walloping at MetLife Coliseum to Sam Darnold and also the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon.The Giants were actually booed off the area at halftime, when quarterback Daniel Jones bounced an elapsed as well as later threw a set of interceptions, particularly the one that was actually sent back 10 gardens for a touchdown.Eventually all that can be listened to in the last seconds of the blast was the Vikings supporters' "Skol" song reverberating throughout the stadium.It's only Week 1 in New York. The booing didn't sit well with everyone.Editor's Picks2 Related" I do not value it honestly," defensive captain Dexter Lawrence pointed out. "I receive it. They would like to view their group gain. It is actually a rugged spot. It simply is what it is." The issue is actually that the Giants' problems appear to be an extension of final season and what the followers have actually endured for a lot of the past 12 years. They have actually possessed merely pair of succeeding seasons in the course of that time.At the moment, Jones seems to become the emphasis of the fans' uneasiness. He's in his 6th time as the Giants' starter and also has ended up being the symbol of their failures.Nothing that took place on Sunday versus the Vikings protection are going to modify that.The $160 thousand quarterback was actually the impetus for much of the boos. It began when running back Devin Singletary detected a come on the flat on the second play of the video game and also slid for a 6-yard reduction. Dealing with third-and-14 from their personal 26-yard line on their position ride, the Giants picked up a hold-up of game.That is when the boos started to rain down on them. It was a harbinger of points to come. The Giants neglected to hit completion area versus the Vikings." It's our task to give them something to cheer about and also to play effectively to implement. And our company take that significant," Jones stated. "They anticipate our team to participate in effectively. Our experts anticipate to participate in well. Our company must perform that." This all unfolded on a mid-day when the Giants commemorated their 100th season along with most of their all-time residing greats in the property, consisting of Lawrence Taylor, Eli Manning and also Phil Simms. They were actually honored for their accomplishment during a halftime ceremony.Daniel Jones was 22-of-42 passing for 186 lawns without any goals and 2 interceptions in the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Vikings. His self-evaluation for Full week 1 was similar to that of his scalp trainer: "Obviously not good enough." Mitchell Leff/Getty ImagesIt was just one of the few factors the fans needed to cheer.Before a few of the legends also returned to their room at MetLife Coliseum, edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux devoted an expensive facemask fine and also the Vikings steered 70 lawns in lower than 3 minutes for a credit rating. It created it 21-3. The Giants never ever installed a comeback.These sort of intestine blows have actually become all also common for Giants enthusiasts, specifically in Full week 1. The Giants are 1-7 in their previous eight season openers. Simply the Indianapolis Colts (0-7-1) have actually been actually worse. New York has actually been actually outscored 68-6 in their previous two season openers alone." Our experts can do whatever better, but all of it begins along with me," trainer Brian Daboll said.Daboll got in touch with plays Sunday for the first time because coming to be the Giants' head train in 2022. The end results were actually just a little enhanced from when they were actually shut out in a 40-0 reduction to the Dallas Cowboys in prime-time attraction in in 2014's season opener.That barely provided any kind of solace to this team." Our team're heading to check out whatever. [Looking at a quarterback modification] that is actually certainly not in my mind.".Giants coach Brian Daboll." Our team shed by a great deal and didn't score [a goal]," Daboll said. "So it had not been adequate." An adjustment at quarterback will likely soothe some of the dissatisfied followers. It still doesn't promise after Jones took every first-team snap this summer season and also finished this video game in spite of the unequal score.Jones went 22-of-42 masquerading 186 yards without goals and also two interceptions. He was actually sacked five opportunities. His self-evaluation corresponded to Daboll's." Undoubtedly unworthy," Jones said. "Didn't get inside completion zone, racked up 6 aspects. Didn't create a lot rhythm and also circulation for our own selves." I've reached be actually better, definitely got to play better, offer our own selves extra possibilities to produce actions and also carry out even more continually." It doesn't appear the Giants are pretty prepared to make a move at quarterback. Drew Padlock was actually the data backup on Sunday. Tommy DeVito, in 2014's out-of-nowhere sensation, was actually the urgent third-string quarterback." We are actually heading to view whatever," Daboll claimed." [Looking at a quarterback improvement] that's certainly not in my mind.".
