Danny Dimes Benched For Giants; Bucs “Expected” To Face Tommy DeVito
November 18th, 2024
Likely new Giants QB.
The Bucs’ next opponent coming Sunday is the Giants. And the Bucs, it appears, will be facing a backup quarterback.
The Giants have benched former first-round pick Danny Dimes. He was having a woeful season. Per Daniel Jones’ contract, if he happens to get hurt this season and/or can’t pass a March physical, the team would be on the hook for $23 million guaranteed.
So with Danny Dimes benched, per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, rather than playing dummy Drew Lock, the Giants are going with former Illinois legend and favorite Son of New Jersey Tommy DeVito.
So now the Bucs must prepare to play a sub most famous for having an agent who thinks he’s living in the early 1960s and a family known for tailgating while preparing chicken cutlets.
Tommy DeVito now expected to take over starting Sunday against the #Bucs. He has a comfort level with Brian Daboll’s offense and a lot more reps in it than backup Drew Lock. https://t.co/bMD8vEjSvI

He’ll have a career day….Bowles struggles against QBs with little film and he brings a different style of QB play to the offense which means whatever the Giants were putting on tape with Jones is now somewhat worthless. We’ll play vanilla zone defense forcing the QB to beat us via dunk and dunk. Bowles chokes in this one and it may be the final nail.
November 18th, 2024 at 9:12 am
The comments will tell you just how much faith anyone has in Bowles. We’ll win but it win inspire any kind of confidence
November 18th, 2024 at 9:12 am
We can only hope Bobby. As much as I love my Bucs we need Bowles out of here. He is killing this team and wasting away valuable years of talented players. He has dbs playing 10 yards off their receivers when the opposing team only needs 3 yards for a first down. (it makes me fukin sick to my stomach watching that kinda of defense). Our team can’t continue to hope for wins if the defense lets the opposing teams score at will, especially when two of our best receivers are hurt for the season – and yes I’m adding Evan’s to that list cus he will play hurt but he won’t be as productive as we are used to.

He’s a nice Italian boy from N.Y.!
November 18th, 2024 at 9:16 am
Bucs will defeat Giants beginning our run to the playoffs.
November 18th, 2024 at 9:17 am
Fogettaboutit!!
November 18th, 2024 at 9:20 am
I’ll have chicken cutlets on Sunday. Bucs should win, but I wouldn’t bet this game. Every chance that Bowles return to Jersey is a disaster.
November 18th, 2024 at 9:23 am
Todd Bowles has a way of making the the backup famous
November 18th, 2024 at 9:25 am
this smells likes a play down to the garbage type of Bowels loss with an excuse of we have to coach better or communication issues…just saying
November 18th, 2024 at 9:29 am
Throw Danny from the Train, starring Tommy DeVito
November 18th, 2024 at 9:30 am
Probably missing Zyon and Dean, so very thin in the secondary.
Would not be surprised if they hold Evans out for another week to avoid the killer turf at MetLife. With Wirfs out, likely an ugly, low scoring affair. Hopefully the Bucs can keep mistakes to a minimum and grind out the W.
November 18th, 2024 at 9:41 am
DeVito will have a career day. Compliments of Todd Bowles.
November 18th, 2024 at 9:42 am
Tommy DeVito looks like he could be Stallone’s grandson in that picture, lol.
Good news. At this point, I’ll take wins however we can get them. Anything to buy healing time for the players.
November 18th, 2024 at 9:45 am
I’d rather face Jones. Bowles defense will play soft and let DeVito beat them.
This game might be the Bill Belichick Bowl as Bill could end up coaching one of these teams next year.
November 18th, 2024 at 9:47 am
Take the Over on the amount of times the camera goes to his clown shoe agent in the stands acting like a buffoon.
November 18th, 2024 at 9:54 am
Divito had 43 TDs and 16 Ints in college. 133 QR. 10 rushing TDs, but not many rushing yards (253). Had a losing record in college (15-16).
He was undrafted, signed last year with the giants.
NFL Experience…214 plays in 9 games for 1296 yards combined. An average of about 6 yards per play. During that period, he was sacked 37 (for a loss of 196 yards) times…so he doesn’t have great pocket awareness. Two fumbles.
This kid is going to be a spot on the grass.
November 18th, 2024 at 9:54 am
Even Danny DeVito would have been an upgrade at QB.
November 18th, 2024 at 9:54 am
At this point I’m rooting for higher draft positioning and a head coach named Liam Coen.
November 18th, 2024 at 9:55 am
I’m marking this one down as a win.
November 18th, 2024 at 9:56 am
HomerSimpsonRocks Says:
“…and a head coach named Liam Coen.”
That would be a huge mistake.
November 18th, 2024 at 10:15 am
This mixes stuff up, that is for sure. Devito is loved and will get a lot of hype this week.
Thinking cutlets, feast of the seven fishes, pasta, Italian cookies, and so many other wonderful family memories when seeing Tommy.
However, with that being said, the Bucs can win this game. We will have Mike back too. Go Bucs!
November 18th, 2024 at 10:17 am
Giants win! The Bucs always do bad against new QBs.
November 18th, 2024 at 10:18 am
DeVito has the Italian look but does not look like Stallone to me.
Go Bucs! Shock the fans and wipe the Giants, say 31-6! Its a Buc life.
November 18th, 2024 at 10:18 am
Bowles will find a way to lose. We never play well up there and DeVito will pick his defense apart. And when its over, he will talk about communication issues again….so when the season ends, we can then communicate two words to him that will not be an issue for him to understand…”You’re fired”.
Please prove me wrong Coach….
November 18th, 2024 at 10:21 am
Just blitz him, problem solved.
November 18th, 2024 at 10:23 am
I think he has started for the Giants before and had a few good games. I don’t know at this point this defense is so bad and if we have 2 rookies at corner Sunday, alonng with Britt in the middle , I can see the Giants winning this one. I am a big Bucs fan an eternal optimist,However, admitting losing to the Giants and a back up qb, may end all this playoff talk with this team and lead to a higher draft position. Please remember this defense is nearly at the bottom of the league in almost every catagory. I don’t believe the next 6 games things are suddenly going to change that much for this defense. Sorry this defense is just plain bad in to many areas.
November 18th, 2024 at 10:28 am
Lmao here we go, another Backup Bowles Blunder
November 18th, 2024 at 10:28 am
Mark it Donny!
November 18th, 2024 at 10:29 am
Great.
He is another rook QB who gets to establish his NFL cred against a lame Buc D.
We have seen this movie before…
November 18th, 2024 at 10:30 am
Backup corners + no pass rush + Todd Bowles as head coach uh Bucs fans be on upset alert when a quarterback is comfortable in the pocket against his defense

We’re gonna get smoked. We always lose to QBs we should be eating alive. Sad but true. 🙁
November 18th, 2024 at 10:33 am
Sunday us a must win or their will be north heart left. Backup QB. We’re doomed. Doomed I say.
November 18th, 2024 at 10:37 am
Well, you all know our history with backup QBs. We make them look like all world. And we have done it repeatedly. IF we lose against the Giants I am going to LMAO. And Todd Bowles should be fired immediately after the game. Don’t even allow him to give a press conference. Let the Glazers give it.
November 18th, 2024 at 10:54 am
Joe what happened to my post?????
November 18th, 2024 at 10:57 am
26-33 405 yards 4 TD’s for DeVito. A Todd Bowles special coming right up
November 18th, 2024 at 11:02 am
Uh oh.
I agree- career day incoming for Tommy boy.
Seen this before
November 18th, 2024 at 11:19 am
Please no. I can’t take this anymore lol. Just no. Stop having these rando’s throw all over us please
November 18th, 2024 at 11:21 am
Here’s to the Bucs giving up another 300 yards passing. Bucs historically suck against back up QB’s But I’m sure TOILET BOWELS has a plan just hope they can communicate it to each other 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
November 18th, 2024 at 11:57 am
Fedex Air Player of The week – Tommy DeVito.
Coach Toilet makes backups and assorted schlubs look like all pros on the regular.
November 18th, 2024 at 11:59 am
Bowles begins his coach of the year march here. 6-1 the rest of the way in. “ coach bowles, with a decimated defense and half strength offense, has somehow coddled together another nfc south division crown, edging out the hapless falcons who limp in at 9-8. Against a brutal schedule, Bowles shepherded this team to a 10-7 mark. Liam corns offense provided just enough, as mayfield ends a Career regular season, with 38 tds”.
November 18th, 2024 at 12:10 pm
Should make the loss feel a little worse.
November 18th, 2024 at 12:22 pm
42 – 38 Giants.
November 18th, 2024 at 12:24 pm
The only way this is good is if the Giants are Tanking. Nobody in the world has to ask about Bowles making backup QB’S on other teams look like.
November 18th, 2024 at 12:42 pm
He’s going to look like a top 5 QB vs this crap ass defense.
November 18th, 2024 at 12:50 pm
Uh oh, Another backup quarterback is going against the famous Todd Bowles Cover Who? Defense!
We excel at making backup quarterbacks look like Pro Bowlers.
November 18th, 2024 at 12:56 pm
350 yards passing, probably 2 TD’s to Malik Neighbors
November 18th, 2024 at 12:58 pm
Tommy Cutlets, huh?
Hmnn…
I’m hopeful, but given our recent experiences with rookie and backup QBs, I’m not going to bet the farm, lol.
Go BUCS!! Win this one!
November 18th, 2024 at 1:29 pm
Headline in the Post:
“Danny Devito throws for 400 yards and 4 TDs against the Bucs”
“Big Blue fans happily shocked at how wide open Giants’ receivers were all night.”
November 18th, 2024 at 1:38 pm
Well at least the Bucs didn’t waste a week practicing. The way coich has them playing, no need for practice. It would be like practicing the “trip whiff and fall.” Coich’s guys know how to do that instinctively. Maybe he’ll let them have this week off, too.
November 18th, 2024 at 1:49 pm
Great there goes our chance of winning. Table is set for the devito to roast the bucs defense and do the stupid pinched fingers thing. Will be the top story on espn.
November 18th, 2024 at 1:57 pm
hopefully this is the start of the tank for #1 for the Giants
if our pass rush shows up, DeVito is going to have a long day — just got to start with 1 win
we know Baker is going to show up with offense and score some points
November 18th, 2024 at 2:22 pm
We are facing Danny DeVito?
November 18th, 2024 at 2:27 pm
It will not surprise me to see him throw for 300 yds and 3 TDs, carving our soft zones with his receivers running wide open with the Bucs defenders 10 yds off.
I will be surprised if our Defense is aggressive and make him uncomfortable causing mistakes.
I just cant watch the opponents receivers being wide open all over the field again. Honeslty i m tired. We dont contest anything. We are being too soft on coverage and we get hands on like only a couple of passes. Its insane. I mean a few times we see the DBs being 10yds off even when we call a blitz which defeats the purpose of the blitz. Too passive, too soft.
Go Bucs
November 18th, 2024 at 3:34 pm
Won’t matter if they Blitz. Qb will just scramble and slide away. Ball will be out of his hands and in a wide open receivers hands.
November 18th, 2024 at 5:35 pm
In only his second season, however unlike the quarterback-development-dysfunctional Bucs, the Giants have given him a good amount of live NFL game action, enough to put up a decent stat line. He’ll be ready.
November 18th, 2024 at 8:35 pm
Joe, that’s one of your better headlines. Great job.
November 18th, 2024 at 9:20 pm
We’ve been in this movie before
