It has been a week.
In hindsight, it was probably dumb to assume that the Giants would be able to successfully move on from the Daniel Jones disaster of this past week by, you know, playing football. It's been a miserable season across the board, and it feels like everyone's just trying to get through these last six games before major changes get made.

Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Buccaneers was more of the same thing, with the Giants looking every bit the part of the two-win team that's going to have a real chance at the first overall pick in next year's draft. If you can believe it, starting *Tommy DeVito* didn't really change much, which was pointed out in, uh, no uncertain terms by Malik Nabers after the game.
While speaking to reporters in the locker room, Nabers didn't hold back about how widespread the team's problems are right now.
Malik Nabers seems to throw shade at Giants' coaches after Week 12 loss to Buccaneers
"It ain't the quarterback," Nabers said after the Giants' loss. "Same outcome when we had at quarterback. Take a look. Take a look. It ain't the quarterback. I don't know, I don't know what it is. Everybody knows better than me."
When asked if he thought the playcalling was an issue, Nabors paused for a second before saying, "I don't know. I don't know what it is. All I know is that I'm tired of losing."
I certainly don't blame Nabers for being unhappy, but it is kinda funny to hear a rookie wide receiver who's played exactly 12 games in the NFL talk about how the losing's gone on long enough. It's hard to say this is a direct shot at the Giants' coaching staff, but it's easy to see how it could be interpreted as such – maybe Daniel Jones wasn't the answer, but anyone who's watched the Giants over the last few seasons knows there's a lot else that needs to get cleaned up.
It doesn't really behoove anyone in the Giants' locker room to directly call out the coaching – especially with almost two months of games still left – but this is the type of post game quote that you get from a team that's probably firing a bunch of people at the end of the season.
