Mike Francesa lays waste to the Giants after embarrassing loss to Vikings

The New York Giants were handed a fairly easy start to the season against Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings, and things went off the rails immediately. Daniel Jones threw two interceptions (including a comical pick-six) and mustered just six points in a 28-6 trouncing that saw Sam Darnold play arguably the best game of his career.

The Giants have spent the last 24 hours getting buried by their fanbase and the media as a whole, and they deserve every bit of that verbal lashing. Even though he may no longer be on WFAN, New York sports radio kingpin Mike Francesa used his podcast as a chance to lay into an offense that was "so putrid it defies description."

In Francesa's BetRivers podcast, he gave fans chapter and verse about how bad Jones and Brian Daboll were. On top of the fact that the offensive line was overwhelmed and the Saquon Barkley-less backfield got nothing done, Francesa bemoaned Daboll's lackluster preparation.

Francesa also took the time to make fun of the Giants' 1925 "Century Red" throwback uniforms, calling it an "homage to ugliness" and "the worst uniform I've ever seen." Francesa also said the only thing as bad as the Giants' play on the field were those ill-conceived threads.

A Wan'Dale Robinson end-around was the only rush of the day that went further than seven yards for the Giants. If Jones wasn't going downfield to rookie standout Malik Nabers, the New York offense was essentially stuck in the mud all game long.

While the defense deserves some blame for letting Darnold complete his first 12 passes and allowing Aaron Jones to almost hit 100 yards on just 14 carries, Jones is what sank this ship. The interceptions were a pick-six deep in their own territory and a back-breaking pick in the red zone.

Since signing that now infamous four-year contract, Jones has thrown just two touchdown passes to his own team and three to his opponents via pick-sixes. Doing it in these gnarly uniforms that likely had the ghosts of Ray Flaherty and Roy Andrews cringing made things even worse.

Francesa may not be on the radio anymore, but rants like this show that he still has the fastball. Giants miscues were always part of his bread and butter, and Jones is sure to serve up plenty of content for Numbah One to feast on.
