New York Giants fans let team owner John Mara know that they are fed up with the franchise’s recent performance ahead of his team’s Week 14 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Before the game, a plane was seen circling MetLife Stadium with a banner attached to the back of it. The message it displayed was loud and clear.
‘Mr. Mara enough,’ the banner read. ‘Plz fix this dumpster fire.’
The Giants have been one of the NFL’s worst teams in 2024. They stumbled to a 2-10 record in the first 13 weeks of the season and are in the running to land the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
This bottom-barrel result comes amid an eight-year span during which the Giants have posted just one winning season. That came under Brian Daboll’s watch in 2022, but the coach’s struggles since then (8-21 record in 29 games) have led to questions surrounding whether he is the right man to lead New York moving forward.

Mara was steadfast earlier in the season that he wasn’t planning to fire Daboll or general manager Joe Schoen despite the team’s issues. He wants more consistency in leadership after cycling through four full-time coaches and one interim since 2017.
‘Obviously, we’re all very disappointed with where we are right now,’ Mara said on Oct. 27 at the debut of an NFL Films production about his father, Wellington Mara, per CBS Sports. ‘But I’m going to say one thing: We are not making any changes this season and I do not anticipate making any changes in the offseason either.’
It isn’t clear whether Mara’s opinion has changed since then, but it will be interesting to see if Sunday’s plea from his fan base will sway him in a different direction.
