The New York Giants came into their season opener against the division rival Dallas Cowboys in hopes of starting off the season with a win.
Instead, the Giants were embarrassed on their home field, losing to the Cowboys to start off the season in the basement in the NFC East.
Buy Giants TicketsThe Giants’ performance was concerning, to say the least, and the team seemed completely unprepared for what Dallas threw at them. The blowout was certainly not what anyone expected from Brian Daboll’s team who took a massive leap last season winning a playoff game.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the blowout loss:
That first drive is who the @Giants are. It snowballed from there but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. When you get behind and it starts to snowball it looks way worse. If they would’ve scored on that opening drive it would be completely different game. Trust me I’ve…

Here's the thing … You can trade for Darren Waller, sign Parris Campbell, try to involve Saquon as a receiver, have a head coach with a pass-first mindset, and more.
If you can't block, none of it matters. #Giants

This much is clear: The Giants still can't compete with the Cowboys. Which also means they don't belong on the field with the Eagles either.
It's hard to be successful as the third-best team in the division. Slim margin for error.

The Giants worst season-opening loss was 35-0 to the Cowboys in 1995. No longer.
Put 40-0 in 2023 to the Cowboys in their record books.

Have seen some bad Giants losses. But never one like this, considering the expectations for this team https://t.co/iPhFwX5LZn

Daboll is going to take a lot of flack, and it's deserved. #BeltGuy #NYGiants

Brian Daboll is still the man for the job but he has a weird tendency: With Andrew Thomas out he brings Daniel Jones back into a 40-0 game and he takes another three unnecessary hits. Last year, he doubled down/defended his decision to put Adoree on punt returns. #Giants

So not an exaggeration to say the most embarrassing game ever played in the Meadowlands. https://t.co/uzphTjsbsj
