Giants vs Colts Postgame Reaction Show & Draft Talk Heats Up
12/30/24 • 70 min
In this live postgame reaction show, Drew from *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates* dives into the aftermath of the Colts vs. Giants game at MetLife Stadium. The Giants have completed their final home game of the season, and the focus remains on their pursuit of the number one overall draft pick. With a 10-game losing streak in tow, New York is now officially the first Giants team in franchise history to go winless at home. Drew breaks down the game, the team’s struggles, and what this all means for the future of the Giants.
The quarterback matchup added intrigue to the game, with Drew Lock starting for the Giants and Joe Flacco leading the Colts. Despite heroic efforts by rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, who played through injuries, and the uncertainty surrounding running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., the Giants couldn’t get it done. Fans are left wondering if this is all part of the bigger picture—securing a generational talent at the top of the draft.
The conversation then shifts to college football, starting with Cam Ward’s controversial decision during the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Ward made NCAA history by setting the career record for passing touchdowns, but his decision to sit out the second half of the game sparked debate. Miami lost to Iowa State 42-41, and Drew dissects whether Ward’s actions were worse or better than players who opt out of bowl games entirely. Did Ward abandon his teammates, or does the nature of the Pop-Tarts Bowl make it a non-issue?
Next, Drew unpacks the Shedeur Sanders buzz. During the Alamo Bowl, Sanders sparked speculation by being spotted with custom cleats in Giants colors in his locker. A viral video teased their reveal, and although reports claimed he wore them during the game, those were later debunked. Could Sanders be sending a not-so-subtle hint about his NFL aspirations and a potential fit with the Giants?
Drew also addresses the massive implications of the Giants holding the top pick in the draft. With the franchise’s future hanging in the balance, is Joe Schoen the right person to make this decision? There’s a debate over whether Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward is worthy of the first overall selection. Some argue that Schoen’s job security could influence his choice, while a new GM might prioritize long-term team building.
Lastly, Drew celebrates a historic moment for Giants legend Eli Manning, who has been named a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Eli joins an elite list of 15 finalists, including first-time nominees like Luke Kuechly, Terrell Suggs, and Adam Vinatieri. Drew discusses Eli’s chances of being a first-ballot Hall of Famer and whether his legacy, the Manning name, and his New York market ties will tip the scales in his favor.
This episode is packed with insight, analysis, and passionate reactions from Drew as he covers the Giants’ struggles, college football controversies, and a legendary Giant’s Hall of Fame candidacy. Don’t miss this comprehensive breakdown of all the latest Giants news and NFL updates.

Giants News Today: Plane Drama, Shedeur Sanders, & Pete Carroll Rumors
In this packed episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, hosts Drew and Rob cover the latest updates, news, and rumors surrounding the New York Giants. From controversial banner protests to standout rookie performances and even whispers of a new head coach, this episode is a must-watch for all Giants fans.
The episode kicks off with the latest news about banner-flying protests at MetLife Stadium. High Exposure Aerial Advertising, the company behind the banners, has canceled flights for the upcoming Giants game against the Indianapolis Colts due to weather conditions. Rain and low cloud ceilings in East Rutherford, New Jersey, mean the Federal Aviation Administration's regulations prevent banners from being flown. Previous protests included fiery messages aimed at ownership, like “Mr Mara Enough – PLZ FIX THIS DUMPSTER FIRE” and demands for sweeping organizational changes.
The hosts also delve into recent comments from former Giants head coach Pat Shurmur, who praised Shedeur Sanders, the standout quarterback at Colorado. Shurmur, now part of the Colorado coaching staff, shared high praise for Sanders, calling him the best quarterback prospect for the NFL. His insights on what makes a great pro quarterback—talent, performance, love for the game, and being a great teammate—spark interesting discussions about the young talent the Giants might consider in the future.
Turning to the current Giants roster, the hosts celebrate the grit and determination of this year’s rookie class. Wide receiver Malik Nabers, the sixth overall pick, speaks highly of his fellow rookies, highlighting their resilience and drive. Nabers shared how players like Theo Johnson and Tyler Nubin have played through injuries, demonstrating the team’s never-quit mentality. Drew and Rob reflect on how this rookie class has the potential to become a cornerstone of the Giants' future.
Speculation heats up as Marissa Myers of TWSN stirs the pot with rumors of the Giants considering Pete Carroll as their next head coach. With the Giants’ dismal 2-13 record, Myers suggests the franchise might move on from Brian Daboll, despite his previous success in 2022. The hosts discuss whether Carroll, known for his success in Seattle, would be a good fit for the Giants and if such a move could spark a turnaround.
This episode is packed with everything Giants fans need to stay updated on their team. From the latest protests to inspiring rookie stories and intriguing coaching rumors, Drew and Rob cover it all. Don’t miss this comprehensive look at the latest NY Giants news and updates!

NY Giants Draft News Colts Post Win
In this in-depth episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, Drew and Rob tackle the aftermath of the Giants' stunning 45-33 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. While the win broke a ten-game losing streak and provided a much-needed morale boost, it also came with a significant downside: the Giants are no longer in position to claim the first overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. With the team now sitting at the fourth pick, they explore the ripple effects this outcome will have on the Giants' future.
The episode dives into whether this victory might have saved the jobs of Head Coach Brian Daboll and General Manager Joe Schoen. Drew and Rob analyze if ownership might now view the duo's leadership in a more favorable light or if the team’s overall struggles are too glaring to overlook. Could Schoen’s draft strategy, particularly with a high but not top pick, be the deciding factor in his fate?
Shifting focus to the draft itself, the hosts discuss the Giants’ options at the fourth spot and the tantalizing possibility of trading up to reclaim the top pick. Breaking down the points value of draft selections, they assess whether the Giants could package their additional picks or future assets to move up and secure a potential franchise quarterback like Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward. The mock draft discussion includes profiles of standout prospects like Michigan CB Will Johnson, West Virginia G Wyatt Milum, and Cincinnati DT Dontay Corleone, showcasing the talent the Giants could still land even without the top selection.
Drew and Rob also cover how Shedeur Sanders has seemingly hinted at an interest in joining the Giants, with rumors of Giants-themed cleats and a growing connection to the team. Is there a legitimate chance that Deion Sanders would steer his son to New York, similar to how the Manning family maneuvered Eli to the Giants two decades ago?
The episode doesn't stop there. Drew and Rob tackle hot topics like Cam Ward’s controversial decision to sit out the second half of Miami’s Pop Tarts Bowl loss and Eli Manning’s candidacy as a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They examine whether Ward’s actions were worse than players who opt out of bowl games entirely and debate if Eli’s New York legacy will help push him into Canton on his first ballot.
Don’t miss this jam-packed episode as Drew and Rob break down the critical moments shaping the New York Giants’ future. Whether you’re celebrating the win or lamenting the draft implications, this is the must-watch show for all Giants fans.
