The New York Giants’ 2025 season is an outright disaster. They’re 2-12, eliminated from the playoffs since Week 10, stuck in an eight-game losing streak, and have already fired their head coach, defensive coordinator, and assistant defensive line coach. It’s been nothing short of a train wreck.
But if there’s any sort of silver lining to cling to as this mess crawls to the finish line, it’s twofold: the Giants are firmly in play for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 Draft... and the Dallas Cowboys are falling apart right alongside them, making the exact same mistakes the G-Men already paid for... and are still paying for, because they're no ray of sunshine, either, but this is about poking fun at Dallas.
Big Blue’s former head coach Brian Daboll stuck by DC Shane Bowen for far too long. That loyalty ended up doing him in after the Week 10 debacle in Chicago. The defense looked completely lost under Bowen, and interim head coach Mike Kafka confirmed what fans already knew by sending him packing just two weeks after taking over.
Meanwhile, Jerry Jones' team is clinging to the slimmest (and we're talking slimmest) of playoff hopes while similar dysfunction spills out of Arlington. Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus is holding Dallas’ defense back in all the wrong ways, setting the stage for yet another year of championship-less football in Jerry World -- extending his laughable title drought to the 30-year mark, which is like Christmas coming early this year for Giants fans.
Giants fans can’t help but laugh at the Cowboys’ defensive collapse they know all too well
How 'bout them Cowboys, huh? Sunday Night's 34-26 loss to the struggling Minnesota Vikings will likely be the final nail in the 'Boys' postseason-hopes coffin.
Giving up 34 points in an all but must-win game, at home, against a we're-still-not-sure-if-he's-even-good quarterback in J.J. McCarthy is a choice.
For Giants fans, it feels like déjà vu -- at least some form of it. It hasn't been a month since they let Bowen go, but the same problems that plagued them are burying "America's Team," and it starts with Eberflus.
Giants fans, raise your hands if you remember Bowen's conservative play-calling, poor player development, and overall lack of production coming back to bite this team time after time, week after week. Literally everyone can lower their hands. Now, what if I told you the same thing is happening right in Big Blue's very own division, and it most likely just cost them a spot in the playoffs?
All smiles aside, Eberflus' defense was atrocious on Sunday night. He trotted out the same soft-zone coverage plan that hasn't worked all season, while expecting different results -- a Bowen disasterclass special.
He couldn't generate a pass rush, and allowed McCarthy, who came into the game ranked 36th among qualified QBs with a -0.205 EPA per play and 34th with a 39.9 percent success rate, to come away with career highs in passing yards (250) and yards per attempt (10.0).
The former Chicago Bears HC has struggled to get much of anything out of his defense this year, and Week 15 might've been the final straw. Even Jerry Jones -- notorious Eberflus foxhole guy -- started to separate himself from the DC during a postgame radio show.
Things are about to go down in Big D.
If things keep trending the way they are, it won’t be long before Eberflus follows Bowen out the door. And if Jerry wants to learn anything from the Giants’ disaster, it’s that the longer you wait to make that move, the worse it gets. Just ask Brian Daboll.
