While Daboll has come under criticism for the Giants' struggles this season, analyst Emmanuel Acho has slammed the coach for failing to close out games.

"Brian Daboll has to get fired of principle," Acho said on the "Speakeasy" show on Sunday. "It's really simple. NFL standards suggest Daboll, you have to be fired. I don't care that you won Coach of the Year. I don't care what you've done, the dilemma is, you've blown leads nobody in the history of football has ever blown."

Acho also hammered Daboll for his mismanagement of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who suffered a concussion in the third quarter against Chicago. There was some controversy around the QB's concussion since he continued playing a few more snaps after taking a hit.

"I don't care that he's shown some promise and some flashes with Jaxson Dart," Acho said. "Daboll, you have lost the right to coach Jaxson Dart in the future."

Midway through the third quarter, Dart was hit and fumbled, which handed possession back to the Bears. It was on that play where he seemingly suffered a concussion.

However, the Giants didn’t check Dart after the series, and he started the next drive under center. The QB ended up taking a few more snaps before heading to the sideline.

After the game, Daboll said Dart was not immediately checked after getting hit.

"No. He wasn’t (checked)," Daboll said. "When he was going in there, somebody said something and I said ‘don’t put him in.’ I’m not sure exactly the play that it happened. I’m just concerned for the kid."

Dart went 19 of 29 for 242 yards. He also added 66 yards and two touchdowns on six carries.

The concerning bit around Dart is that he has been evaluated for concussions four times this season.
