Are the Giants' biggest problems caused by players or coaching?
Dennard Wilson's criticism puts the spotlight on defensive effort, but the running game, personnel rotation, and special-teams mistakes raise serious questions about coaching decisions as well.
The Giants are still leading the NFC East at 3-2-1, but the Saints loss exposed problems across the roster. Drew and Rob react to Wilson calling out "traitors to the defense," discuss the 13 missed tackles against New Orleans, and question whether publicly challenging players will bring the changes Giants fans have been demanding.
Matt Nagy says J.J. McCarthy is ready to operate the full offense against Houston, but the running back situation remains frustrating. How did Cam Skattebo finish the Saints game without a carry? The guys question Nagy's explanation, the four-man rotation, and whether a smaller group of backs can finally establish a rhythm. Chris Horton's explanation for the special-teams mistakes also gets plenty of criticism.
NFC East news includes Evan Neal signing with the Eagles' practice squad, the serious medical situation involving Jalen Hurts, and what the Giants' division lead means heading into Week 7.
Then it's NFL Week 7 predictions across the league. Drew and Rob make their picks for winners, spreads, totals, and potential upsets.
Can the Bengals beat Baltimore if Lamar Jackson isn't fully healthy? Will the Browns keep finding ways to win despite their offensive struggles? Can the Colts recover against Minnesota? And can anyone actually trust the Dolphins or Jets?
The unbeaten 49ers travel to Atlanta, where injuries and the Falcons' pass rush could create problems. The Panthers face the Buccaneers in an NFC South matchup, while Denver visits Arizona with serious questions surrounding both offenses.
Packers vs. Lions delivers one of the week's biggest debates. Detroit's offense has been explosive, but its secondary has struggled, and both hosts like Green Bay to take advantage. The Rams also face a Raiders team that has been more competitive than expected.
The Chiefs travel to Seattle for Sunday Night Football, with Kenneth Walker III facing his former team. Can Seattle's run defense shut down Kansas City's biggest rushing threat, or will Patrick Mahomes find another way to win?
Finally, the Cowboys and Eagles face off on Monday Night Football. Both entered the week chasing the Giants in the NFC East, and Drew and Rob make their predictions while enjoying the unusual position of looking down at both division rivals.
The episode closes with the biggest questions facing the NFL after six weeks, the undefeated teams under pressure, and whether J.J. McCarthy can help the Giants stay atop the division.
