The New York Giants were subject to plenty of criticism and laughter this past week as they were embarrassed on Monday Night Football by the Seattle Seahawks.
It was another disappointing performance from the Giants who had almost no answer for the Seahawks’ defense.
New York scored just three points on the night and Daniel Jones looked like a deer in headlights as he failed to move the football much.
Jones recorded just 203 passing yards and threw two picks, but the blame shouldn’t solely rest on his shoulders as his offensive line also let him down in a big way.
The Giants quarterback was sacked 10 times on the night, the most in an NFL game in five years.
Fans booed their team for the woeful showing and Evan Neal decided to fire back via Darryl Slater of NJ.com.
“Why would a lion concern himself with the opinion of a sheep?”
“The person that’s commenting on my performance, what does he do? Flip hot dogs and hamburgers somewhere?” he said.
Evan Neal had a whole lot to say Wednesday.

Neal is understandably upset with the fan response, though it’s still unbecoming of him to go after them when he and the rest of the offensive line struggled to protect Jones.
Jones had virtually no time to get through his progressions and that resulted in errant throws and poor decisions.
Fans will generally air out their frustrations on the quarterback when the offense fails to score, but in this case it sounds like they also recognized the poor job that Neal and the rest of the O-line did.
Winning in the trenches is one of the biggest factors for success in the NFL, so Neal and his teammates better get their act together as they get another tough test in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins.
