The New York Giants suffered a stunning collapse in Week 7, surrendering a 33-32 defeat to the Denver Broncos after holding a commanding lead with just 33 seconds remaining.
New York controlled the game for three quarters before allowing 33 fourth-quarter points in a historic meltdown.
The loss exposed deeper concerns about Brian Daboll’s coaching decisions and in-game management.
What appeared to be a routine victory turned into another painful example of the Giants’ inability to close out games under his leadership.
The collapse drew sharp criticism from analyst Adam Schein, who issued a pointed warning about Daboll’s future during his appearance on Mad Dog Sports Radio.
“Terrible, terrible! That yesterday’s game separated (Brian) Daboll from (Joe) Schoen. And I am a big Brian Daboll fan. But if the Giants keep losing, he will be the ex-coach of the New York Football Giants,” Schein said on Mad Dog Sports Radio.

Schein highlighted general manager Joe Schoen’s aggressive offseason work as proof that the front office is building toward the future.
Trading up for Jaxson Dart, acquiring Cam Skattebo, landing Brian Burns, and securing Abdul Carter all signal Schoen’s commitment to reshaping the roster.
If the losing continues, Schein believes Daboll will bear the consequences while Schoen remains safe.
The analyst suggested their fates are no longer tied together, meaning organizational change could separate the two moving forward.
Daboll’s overall record supports the growing concerns about his tenure in New York.
His 20-37-1 mark as head coach reflects a .353 winning percentage, among the lowest in franchise history for coaches with comparable time.
After earning Coach of the Year honors in 2022 with a 9-7 playoff season, the Giants have gone 11-30 since.
His teams have started 1-4 or worse six times over the last decade, the most in the NFL during that stretch.
These repeated slow starts and late-game collapses raise questions about whether Daboll can turn things around before the organization makes a change.
