The Eagles arrived at MetLife Stadium with an 11-1 record, and with buses full of players more talented than the ones they would compete against on a wet and grim December afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s just it \u2014 the Giants didn\u2019t compete. In their own building, matched against a hated divisional rival in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ropriate NFC East weather, the Giants failed to seize the opportunity and honor the playoff stakes at hand. This was supposed to be a heated fight that would ultimately go to the superior Eagles, not a glorified varsity-jayvee scrimmage with mercy-rule concessions made in the end.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s on the rookie head coach. That\u2019s on Brian Daboll.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything starts with me,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The final score was 48-22, though Daboll said it best when he called it \u201cforty-eight to whatever it was.\u201d Whatever it was, in the end, wasn\u2019t nearly good enough. The most famous fan in the house, former President Bill Clinton, was wearing a Giants cap at the start of the day, and no cap at the end of the day. Clinton hadn\u2019t seen a blowout like this since he pancaked Bob Dole in 1996.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Most alarming for the losing team, of course, is the advancement of a southward trend. The Giants, who stunned the entire league with their 6-1 start, are 1-4-1 since, and now stand 0-3-1 in the division. They could still save their playoff bid with a victory at Washington, but if they couldn\u2019t beat the Commanders at home it\u2019s hard to make a compelling case that they will beat them on the road.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/121122GiantsBK09.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Brian Daboll \" class=\"wp-image-24977596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/121122GiantsBK09.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/121122GiantsBK09.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/121122GiantsBK09.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/121122GiantsBK09.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Brian Daboll failed to have the Giants ready to compete. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Bill Kostroun\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Four days after the loss to Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, Daboll told his team, \u201cThe season starts now.\u201d The following day the Giants coach explained, \u201cWhen you play meaningful <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s in December, I think that\u2019s why we all do this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He needed to dig deep and inspire his players to achieve at a higher level, and it hasn\u2019t happened. As aggressively as Daboll coached in the triumphant season-opening victory at Tennessee, he coached just as conservatively \u2014 he was afraid of his own team, in other words \u2014 in the tie against Washington. On Sunday, the Giants didn\u2019t look like they had been coached too conservatively.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>They looked like they hadn\u2019t been coached much at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A safety, Julian Love, whiffed on a fourth-down pass that should\u2019ve been knocked down or intercepted before it landed in the hands of DeVonta Smith for a 41-yard touchdown. A punter, Jamie Gillan, fumbled the ball and illegally kicked it for a devastating penalty that set up Jalen Hurts\u2019 33-yard touchdown throw to A.J. Brown on the next snap.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles scored touchdowns on their first three possessions, and the Giants punted (or tried to) on their first four possessions. Philly pounded away for 253 rushing yards and, on the other side of the ball, pounded away on Daniel Jones, one significant Giant who did come to play. Even with a blocked punt in their favor, the Giants\u2019 special teams came up about as empty as their depleted secondary did.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes you get your ass beat; that\u2019s as simple as it is,\u201d Love said. \u201cBut we can\u2019t let this fester, really. \u2026 Our morale has to stay high, because it\u2019s been high all year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/121122GiantsBK51.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Brian Daboll reacts during the Giants' loss to the Eagles. \" class=\"wp-image-24977598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/121122GiantsBK51.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/121122GiantsBK51.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/121122GiantsBK51.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/121122GiantsBK51.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Brian Daboll reacts during the Giants\u2019 loss to the Eagles. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Bill Kostroun\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Daboll still deserves a ton of credit for that. He remains the chief reason why a team many believed would go 5-12 this year, if lucky, can still make the franchise\u2019s first postseason appearance since 2016. Daboll has earned near-universal approval throughout the organization \u2014 from the locker room to the cafeteria to the front office \u2014 for a user-friendly approach to leadership.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Love, a four-year veteran who\u2019s on his third Giants head coach, told The Post recently that Daboll\u2019s willingness to \u201callow us to be ourselves\u201d had been \u201crefreshing compared to what we had previously.\u201d It\u2019s a wide-open secret that the holdovers connect with Daboll in ways they didn\u2019t connect with Joe Judge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But truth be told, what Daboll put on the field against Philadelphia was pulled from the Pat Shurmur playbook. It was unacceptable football, and the Giants coach knows that. He worked for Bill Belichick and Nick Saban, and he was raised by a grandmother who was tougher than both. All three would have told him that he needs to do better.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey outcoached us, they outplayed us,\u201d Daboll said in his postgame press conference, before confirming that \u201closing sucks.\u201d He maintained that he had no problem with his players\u2019 effort, just their execution, a hard claim to buy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou lose like this, you own it,\u201d Daboll conceded. \u201cYou don\u2019t make any excuses.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Not even with Saquon Barkley banged up, and with Leonard Williams out. The Eagles have what Daboll called \u201ca star-studded roster,\u201d including two playmakers in Hurts and Smith who helped him win a national title with Saban at Alabama. They are the best bet to win the Super Bowl for a reason.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the Eagles did lose to Washington, meaning the Giants should have found a way to compete with them at home. The failure to do that in a big December game belongs squarely on Brian Daboll\u2019s desk.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
