It flew across the clear blue sky Sunday morning, 90 minutes before the Giants were set to face the Saints at MetLife Stadium.
A small plane unveiled a banner that stated “MR. MARA ENOUGH – PLZ FIX THIS DUMPSTER FIRE.’’
Yes, it is that bad.
The Giants took a record of 2-10 into the game and are on pace for one of the worst seasons in the history of a franchise that is “celebrating’’ its 100th season.
The last time a banner flew overhead with such negative feedback from disgruntled fans was back in 1978 when in the third quarter of a game against the Cardinals at Giants Stadium, a plane flew a banner that read, “15 YEARS OF LOUSY FOOTBALL … WE’VE HAD ENOUGH.’’
Giants ownership took that message to heart, wholesale changes were enacted, with George Young’s hiring as the general manager the main impetus for the turnaround of the franchise.
It remains to be seen what happens with this year’s team.
Giants co-owner John Mara insisted back when his team was 2-5 that there would be no changes in-season with general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll and that he did not anticipate making changes with them for 2025.
The Giants are currently on a seven-game losing streak and if they lose out the rest of the way and finish 2-15, it will be difficult for Mara to keep his word.
