Some of the postgame noise coming from Giants players inside the losing locker room after their 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday had to make head coach Brian Daboll cringe, especially with speculation about his job security swirling.

A year ago, the Giants were ravaged by injuries at quarterback and on the offensive line as the team spiraled out of playoff contention, and Daboll was justifiably praised for the fact that his locker room remained strong, resisting fracturing amidst the adversity.

The damning postgame takes Sunday from left tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, defensive tackle and captain Dexter Lawrence, veteran receiver Darius Slayton and rookie receiver Malik Nabers, however, left you wondering if this 2-9 Giants team is on the verge of imploding from inner unrest.

Eluemunor said he saw teammates not giving 100 percent effort. Lawrence and Nabers used the word “soft’’ when describing the team’s effort in the loss. Slayton was disgusted with the same mistakes taking place over and over.

Daboll on Monday insisted that his team played hard but poorly in the loss and acknowledged that the six-game losing streak has taken its toll on everyone’s psyche with the Thanksgiving Day game at Dallas looming.

“When you lose a game like that, there’s frustration,’’ Daboll said. “Certainly, you’d like to keep it in house. But you understand them and I’ve been doing this for a while. There are conversations that you have to have if comments like that are made. I respect the opinions of the players and of the coaches. We’ll work as hard as we can to get this fixed.

“These guys put a lot of work into this, as does everybody involved, and certainly not something that we wanted yesterday. We work hard every week to not have that happen, and that was a tough one. So, there’s frustration that comes with it [which is] understandable.

“We communicate [and] I think we have good leadership in our locker room. But certainly, a frustrating game, no question about it.’’

Daboll went on to say he “thought our guys played hard.’’

The two players the team made available on Monday via Zoom, guard Jon Runyan and linebacker Micah McFadden, both disputed the team played soft against Tampa Bay.

“I think that’s just kind of frustration immediately after the game,’’ McFadden said. “I don’t think those guys were talking about our team being completely soft. I think it was just an overall frustration from how the game felt. It felt like we got dominated out there. It felt embarrᴀssing.

“I think that was stated collectively in the locker room after the game. It’s easy to kind of let your temper take over at points like that. We can’t let it divide us.

“If somebody thinks I’m playing soft, that’s an embarrᴀssing statement to hear. I don’t think we are a soft team. I think this team has the right mindset. I think we carry ourselves to a high standard. We’ve just got to stay focused.

“The easy thing would be to splinter and to start pointing fingers, but I don’t think that’s the group we have. I don’t think that’s the leadership we have within the locker room. Obviously, it hasn’t been what we wanted it to be, but the rest of the season is up to make up to us to make it what we want it to be.’’

Runyan insisted “there’s no quit in this team.’’

“Times like this can really pull teammates and teams apart from each other,’’ Runyan said. “In times like this, you have come even closer together and figure out how we get this thing going together. Because the more separated you become, the worse things get. I don’t sense that in this locker room at all. I feel like guys are still really into it, really connected, and trying to figure out how to get these results on Sunday.’’

Daboll said, “I believe in what we do. Obviously, the results have not shown themselves. I believe in the people, and we’ll continue to work as hard as we can. But certainly, you think about things that you need to change or whether it’s plays, whatever it may be, you’re always thinking what can you do to do better.

“Obviously, there’s a lot of things we can do better.’’
