EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - New York Giants co-owner received a strong message from disgruntled fans as a small plane circled MetLife Stadium before the team's game against the Baltimore Ravens. The banner trailing the plane read: 'Mr. Mara Enough — We won't stop until you fire everyone.' This marks the second consecutive week that a plane has been hired to express frustration with the Giants' performance this season.
The Giants, currently standing at a disappointing 2-11 record and on an eight-game losing streak, have failed to secure a win in any of their seven home games this season. The team's struggles have prompted calls for significant changes within the organization. Last week, a similar message urged Mara to address the team's issues, stating: 'Mr. Mara, enough. Please fix this dumpster fire!'
Despite the mounting pressure, Mara has refrained from commenting on the situation. The Giants' recent playoff appearances in 2022 under coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen have not shielded them from criticism, with both individuals now facing scrutiny.
Heading into the game against the Ravens, the Giants were considered 16-point underdogs, reflecting the team's current struggles. The lack of accountability for the aerial messages has left the source of the discontent unknown.
This incident recalls a similar protest in the late 1970s when fans hired a plane to fly over Giants Stadium with a banner reading: '15 Years of Lousy Football. ... We’ve Had Enough.' During the period from 1973 to 1979, the Giants struggled to achieve more than six wins in a season.
The Giants' management now faces a critical juncture as they navigate a challenging season and strive to address the concerns raised by fans and observers alike.
