EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- It failed to take long for Nyc Giants followers to reach their boiling point-- two stage shows in to the period opener, to be exact.That is when the booing started. It took place periodically for 4 one-fourths during a 28-6 drubbing at MetLife Coliseum to Sam Darnold as well as the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon.The Giants were booed off the industry at halftime, when quarterback Daniel Jones bounced a successfully pass and also eventually threw a pair of interceptions, especially the one that was actually given back 10 backyards for a touchdown.Eventually the only thing that could be listened to in the final instants of the blast was the Vikings followers' "Skol" incantation resounding throughout the stadium.It's only Full week 1 in Nyc. The booing failed to sit well with everyone.Editor's Picks2 Connected" I do not value it honestly," protective leader Dexter Lawrence claimed. "I get it. They want to see their team gain. It is actually a rough spot. It just is what it is actually." The complication is actually that the Giants' battles look an extension of final season as well as what the fans have actually endured for a lot of the past 12 years. They have actually had merely 2 succeeding times in the course of that time.At the instant, Jones seems to be to become the concentration of the supporters' uneasiness. He's in his 6th season as the Giants' starter as well as has actually become the symbol of their failures.Nothing that took place on Sunday versus the Vikings protection will change that.The $160 million quarterback was actually the motivation for a lot of the boos. It started when operating back Devin Singletary caught a come on the level on the second play of the video game and also slipped for a 6-yard loss. Encountering third-and-14 from their very own 26-yard line on their position travel, the Giants picked up a problem of game.That is when the boos started to storm down on them. It was actually a precursor of factors to find. The Giants stopped working to arrive at the end zone versus the Vikings." It's our work to provide something to cheer around and also to play well to implement. And we take that serious," Jones said. "They expect our team to participate in well. Our team anticipate to participate in well. Our team have to carry out that." This all unravelled on a mid-day when the Giants celebrated their 100th time along with a lot of their everlasting living greats in the property, featuring Lawrence Taylor, Eli Manning as well as Phil Simms. They were recognized for their achievement during a halftime ceremony.Daniel Jones was 22-of-42 passing for 186 backyards with no touchdowns and also 2 interceptions in the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Vikings. His self-evaluation for Full week 1 corresponded to that of his scalp coach: "Obviously not good enough." Mitchell Leff/Getty ImagesIt was among minority explanations the enthusiasts needed to cheer.Before some of the legends even came back to their suite at MetLife Arena, edge rush Kayvon Thibodeaux committed an expensive facemask fine and also the Vikings drove 70 yards in lower than 3 moments for a credit rating. It created it 21-3. The Giants never mounted a comeback.These type of intestine strikes have actually come to be all also common for Giants fans, particularly in Full week 1. The Giants are actually 1-7 in their past eight period openers. Simply the Indianapolis Colts (0-7-1) have been much worse. Nyc has been actually outscored 68-6 in their past two time openers alone." Our team can do whatever better, but all of it starts along with me," coach Brian Daboll said.Daboll got in touch with plays Sunday for the very first time since coming to be the Giants' crown coach in 2022. The results were actually just somewhat boosted coming from when they were locked out in a 40-0 reduction to the Dallas Cowboys in prime-time attraction in in 2013's period opener.That rarely gave any sort of relief to this group." Our team're heading to enjoy everything. [Taking into consideration a quarterback improvement] that's not in my thoughts.".Giants train Brian Daboll." Our experts shed by a great deal and also really did not credit rating [a touchdown]," Daboll stated. "So it wasn't good enough." A change at quarterback will likely calm several of the discontented enthusiasts. It still doesn't seem likely after Jones took every first-team piece of cake this summer as well as finished this video game in spite of the unbalanced score.Jones went 22-of-42 passing for 186 gardens without touchdowns and also 2 interceptions. He was actually sacked five opportunities. His self-evaluation corresponded to Daboll's." Certainly not good enough," Jones stated. "Didn't enter the end area, scored 6 points. Failed to generate a lot rhythm and flow for our own selves." I have actually come to be actually much better, surely got to participate in far better, give our own selves extra chances to create plays as well as execute more consistently." It does not show up the Giants are actually very prepared to make a move at quarterback. Drew Padlock was actually the back-up on Sunday. Tommy DeVito, last year's out-of-nowhere phenomenon, was the emergency third-string quarterback." Our team're mosting likely to see whatever," Daboll pointed out." [Taking into consideration a quarterback adjustment] that's not in my mind.".
