Giants embarrassed by Vikings, 28-6: Here's how X reacted
The New York Giants entered Week 1 hoping to get the year off to a good start despite low expectations for the season. With the Minnesota Vikings coming in as slight favorites, the game was expected to be a competitive one between the two teams.
Instead, the Giants came out flat and weren't able to get anything going on the offensive side of the ball. Head coach Brian Daboll had an embarrassing showing in his first game as the Giants' offensive play-caller and quarterback Daniel Jones had a brutal return in his first game back from his season-ending injury last season.
On defense, the Giants forced a turnover on the Vikings' opening drive but were only able to get three points despite starting in the red zone. The Giants' defense did not have much of an answer for Sam Darnold and the Vikings' offense.
With the loss, the Giants drop their season opener for the second straight year. Here's how X reacted.
First game of the year and the season already feels lost. Jones looks horrible and playcalling is the worst since Daboll arrived #giants

Daniel Jones deserves most of the blame. However, Brian Daboll, who I like, is at fault, too. This team does not look ready. No sense of urgency on offense. Did they practice the last few weeks? #giants

Vikings fans are successfully doing a "Skol" chant right now at the Giants home opener with 11 minutes to play...

There are college teams that would blow out the giants with Daniel Jones at QB. #giants

The passion has left this franchise #giants

Ivan Pace was right.

Daniel Jones threw 1 pass over 20+ air yards v. the Vikings.

Do you guys think the Giants players believe in Daniel Jones?

This has got to be the worst and most disappointing start to a Giants season in, what, a year?

.@Giants outscored 68-6 in the past two home openers:
Week 1 (2023): L 40-0 to Cowboys
Week 1 (2024): L 28-6 to Vikings#Giants100 pic.twitter.com/KQm8GL0OJ8— Giants Fans Online (@NYGFansOnline) September 8, 2024
2 years in a row the Giants can't score a TD in the season opener
This might be worse than 40-0— Marshall Green (@MarshallGreen_) September 8, 2024
I’m sorry but this abysmal performance is all on the #Giants Brian Daboll. Dislike Daniel Jones or not, just look at what Sam Darnold is doing on the other side with Kevin O’Connell.

What a disaster of an opener for the #Giants: Daniel Jones struggled with his accuracy. He went 21 of 40 for 181 yards with no touchdowns and 2 INTs.
Giants lose at home in owner 28-6 to Vikings. ⁰
More problems: Five drops, endless penalties (9 for 95), no throws downfield…— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) September 8, 2024
I just thought about the Giants 2025 draft slot. I DONT WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT

That Brian Burns jersey number 0 is looking real accurate right now.
That has been his impact today.— Zain (@ThisIsNotZain) September 8, 2024
Brian Daboll has no one else to blame. And Schoen gets a pink slip in the morning. Let's Brandon Brown take the wheel.

If Giants fans don’t think Daboll and Schoen are on the hot seat.. I have some beach front property in Kansas to sell you.. #giants100

This is just about as embarrassing as it can get. If they weren’t before, Schoen & Daboll should be on the hot seat.

Unless Mara was directly responsible for the Jones contract Schoen should be fired over it.

Some chants of "We Want Lock" coming from the angry crowd. ... It's hard to hear over the boos, but they're there.
