There’s losing, and then there’s whatever this is. The New York Giants are 2-7 for the third straight year, a start that's simply inexcusable four years into the Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen era. The offense doesn't scare anyone, the defense can't make a play to save its life, and the coaching staff has clearly run out of both answers and excuses. And the fanbase has seen enough.
Sunday’s 34-24 embarrassment against a banged-up San Francisco 49ers team was the latest proof that this regime has no idea what it's doing. Another wasted game with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart under center, the defense gave up another 30-plus points, and the same postgame talking points about “execution” and “needing to do better” were trotted out like clockwork. It’s exhausting.

This team is unwatchable.
And nobody captured that frustration better than WFAN’s Sal Licata, who absolutely detonated on the front office during his postgame rant. His words were everything fans needed to hear:
"What more do you need to see?! They stink! ... 2-7 is hard to do for three straight years. I give you credit. How is that possible — to get the doors blown off by a depleted Niners team with Mac Jones as the quarterback? ... That to me is a coach thing. It's a player thing. It's both of them. Schoen and Daboll have to go."

The quote doesn’t do it justice. You have to see the whole clip to feel the full eruption:

Giants radio host goes off on Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen after latest collapse
For Sal to say this means something. He's been in Dabs' corner almost every step of the way. But you can only poke the bear so many times.
Licata’s outburst wasn’t just radio theatrics. It was the sound of a lifelong fan who's had enough of watching terrible football and handing out moral victories. Tough injury breaks, a brutal schedule, the youth movement — none of it matters when the results literally never change.
Big Blue’s been selling progress for three years and delivering losses. Rinse, meet repeat.
With another trade deadline approaching Tuesday and zero momentum in sight, the organization has a choice to make: either keep pretending this is fixable under the same leadership or admit this regime has stalled out. The Daboll and Schoen pairing clearly isn't working out. It's time to realize that whatever ownership thought this could be, it's not.
