No surprise here — the New York Giants released kicker Jude McAtamney after he missed two crucial extra points on Sunday … and Big Blue fans didn’t hold back when reacting to the news.
The G-Men made the roster move on Tuesday following their 33-32 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday … with McAtamney’s errors proving costly in the result.
This, of course, was just a few weeks after NY activated the undrafted kicker from the practice squad.
Giants fans couldn’t contain their joy when McAtamney was placed on waivers … flooding his Instagram comments to roast the 25-year-old for getting fired on his day off.
Some actually offered support … reminding him to ignore the haters since he “made it to the NFL, not them.”
McAtamney — who played college ball at Chowan and Rutgers — seemed prepared for the possibility … telling reporters after the game, “I’m a professional kicker. I’ve got to be able to make those.”
The Giants now move on with a road game on Sunday against their rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles — a must-win for New York.
