Giants fans are completely done with Daniel Jones after one half
By Lior Lampert
New year, same Daniel Jones. That's how all New York Giants fans presumably feel after a dismal first-half showing against the Minnesota Vikings in the team's regular-season opener.
Jones and the Giants' offense failed to do much from the outset, scoring only three points after 30 minutes of action. And to that point, their lone field goal came on a drive from Minnesota's 20-yard line. Overall, it was a far from encouraging performance, and the Big Blue faithful are already packing in the 2024 NFL campaign.
Much of G-Men Nation's frustration lies with Jones, and understandably so. As the head of the snake, he's failed to uplift his supporting cast.

8-of-16 for 55 yards and multiple missed throws. Thoughts on his performance?
As you can see, Jones' box score totals are mightily underwhelming. Of course, stats can be deceiving, but these numbers aren't pretty.

The countdown begins. Technically, 16 games remain, but we'll let it slide, assuming the Giants don't make the playoffs. Nonetheless, Giants supporters are eagerly waiting for the Jones era to end.
Daniel Jones has open receivers, and he's either not throwing it, throwing it behind, or simply skipping it off the dirt.

I can't do 18 weeks of this.
Even when his pass-catcher gets open, Jones either hangs onto the ball or misses his target entirely. His struggles seeing the field are hurting the entire Giants offense.

And then a delay of game
And then a drop on 3rd and 19 on a check down
Cancel the season
Talk about an eventful start to the year, right? Jones threw a negative six-yard pass to kick things off for the Giants, symbolizing his rough day at the office.
Oh boy. Daniel Jones is picked off by Andrew Van Ginkel and he takes it for a pick-6.

Things are not going well for the G-Men. It's 28-3 Minnesota.pic.twitter.com/OHAeG81Wx0
Somehow, things got worse for Jones and company in the third quarter. The former No. 6 overall pick threw a perfect pass -- to Vikings linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel.
New York is the home team vs Minnesota, and you can barely tell based on the boos Jones is hearing at MetLife Stadium. If he doesn't turn things around fast, it's only a matter of time before fans call for veteran Drew Lock or Tommy "Cutlets" DeVito. Based on how it's going, 2024 will be a long season for the Giants.
Sorry in advance to those who have to suffer through watching a Jones-led offense.
