Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll didn’t have the Giants ready to play Sunday night.

Their team didn’t belong on the field with the Dallas Cowboys in this pathetic 40-0 ***-kicking to open the season at MetLife Stadium — the most lopsided Week 1 loss in franchise history.

“Man,” one Cowboys player said while shaking his head, “those [guys] really scored zero points.”

The offense and special teams, actually, didn’t belong on any football field. They were incapable of executing. They couldn’t block, catch or make sound decisions.

“Got beat all the way around, coaching to playing, and I accept that,” Daboll said. “[We] could never really string it together in any area. We just got skunked.”

This wasn’t all that different from the Giants’ last game against a division rival, though. Remember?

I'm surprised how disorganized and sloppy NYG looked.

Your OL getting whooped on every play can make things fall apart, but they looked like a pretty well-coached football team last year.
Turnovers. Turnovers and Turnovers.

The blocked kick for 6, the pick 6 and an extra FG had us up 16-0.

Giants aren’t built to come back and score tons of points.

Last year, they ran the kept games close, waited for you to make one mistake and capitalize.

And folks really believed Daboll is a better coach than McCarthy lol
Some guys are just really great at the Xs and Os but are not great leaders. Those types make great coordinators under a Head Coach who is a leader but make horrible Head Coaches. I’m not really sure where McCarthy fits in but he has a true leader of men running his defense. I hope Jerry can keep Quinn long enough to make him the Head Coach.

Who also said Damny Dimes was the second best QB in division
He pretty much crapped on Dallas the entire segment.

I do understand he plays the anti Dallas role.

But for a guy who gritted his teeth with McCarthy and won a Super Bowl with him, he should know first hand what Mccarthy can do.

Very un-Giant game........over the years you could ALWAYS count on them being fundamentally sound and tough. But their offense has some serious issues IMO..........OLine and WRs

If I was a Giants fan, or coach, I would be worried about that offensive line. They spent a lot of draft capital on that line and they were awful last night. As bad as it was, it should have been worse. The refs allowed several Cowboys to get held or there may have been more sacks.

At the same time, how could they go into the season with 2 rookie CBs?

The blocked FG took any momentum the Gnats had away. Cowboys never looked back.
