Gio thinks this is a terrible spot for the Giants. Boomer said this game is on Daniel Jones. Aidan O’Connell vs a Wink Martindale defense. The Giants cannot lose this game.

Boomer & Gio see this Giants/Raiders game differently. Gio thinks it’s a bad spot for the Giants and wishes Josh McDaniels was still there. The Raiders will come out with a different intensity. Boomer sees this as a big spot for Daniel Jones. You cannot lose to a rookie QB and an interim head coach in his first game. The Giants need to bring the intensity on defense and Daniel Jones has to prove he belongs here. The Raiders were dead before they fired McDaniels.
