Giants look just as awful with Tommy DeVito during humiliating loss to Bucs in first game since Daniel Jones release

· New York Post

Six games more of this?

Oy vey.

It might be better for all involved in this complete and embarrassing mess to pack up and go home.

What the Giants are putting out on the field is not doing anyone any good and this slop is making it harder and harder to make a case that those employed in the front office and the coaching staff deserves to come back to give it another try in 2025.

The easy throwaway line at this time is to say “Guess it wasn’t all Daniel Jones’ fault.’’

Anyone watching the Giants stumble and bumble in the first 10 games knew that to be true.

Well, Jones was benched and waived and looking for a new team.

Tommy DeVito was inserted at quarterback and the entire operation on both sides of the ball was inept.

There were rows and rows of empty gray seats at the finish of Sunday’s pathetic 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers, with no traffic concerns exiting MetLife Stadium.

DeVito did not spark anything and the Giants did not stop anyone.

This was a bad team on display in every way possible.

Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield might as well have been throwing from a rocking chair.

He was having so much fun he mimicked DeVito’s Italian hand gesture celebration, unveiled last season, after vaulting into the end zone in the closing seconds of the first half to make it 23-0. Ouch.

The Giants (2-9) have now lost six consecutive games and are 0-1 in the post-Daniel Jones era.

The Buccaneers (5-6) came in on a four-game losing streak but the Giants are the feel-good team of the NFL.

They are healers for whatever ails their opponent.

DeVito, rocked all day, was forced out with five minutes remaining for two plays and then was able to finish things out.

DeVito’s numbers — 21 of 31 for 189 yards — were not indicative of how much he struggled.

He was sacked four times and the offense was barely functional.

This was never competitive.

It was 30-0 late in the third quarter before DeVito ran for 17 yards and Devin Singletary scored from a yard out to put the Giants on the board early in the fourth quarter.

Hurray.

The Giants have not led in a game since Week 5 in Seattle.

That was back on Oct. 6.

It is almost Thanksgiving.

That’s a long time to be constantly trailing.
