Overview

• Tony Pauline reports that head coach Brian Daboll and defensive coordinator Shane Bowen are “hanging on by a thread,” with the possibility of in-season firings if losses continue.
• The Giants opened 0-2 with a 21-6 loss to Washington and a 40-37 overtime defeat to Dallas, and they face Kansas City on Sunday night.
• Pauline describes a locker-room shift toward urgency to win soon, while Big Blue View’s reporter on site did not fully share that characterization.
• Speculation from Pauline suggests Daboll could turn to rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart as early as Week 4 if a lopsided loss occurs in Week 3, though Russell Wilson remains the starter for now.
• Context includes John Mara’s January warning that he was nearly out of patience, a tough upcoming schedule, and Daboll’s reported 18-34-1 coaching record with New York.
