Hello and welcome back to talking giants.

Today is December 19, 2025.

And now we're New York football giants are home playing the Minnesota Vikings.

They're playing nine.

They're playing nine.

The Vikings are hot.

J.J. McCarthy's hot.

Is he that hot?

Probably not.

He's just not throwing the ball out of that much.

It's the story of his life.

An interesting test for Jackson Dart. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We want the number one overall pick. We want the season to end. We want everybody fired. Sean Marash, what in the world is going to happen this Sunday? I think what's going to happen is the same thing that's happened to the Giants all year long. I think they're going to compete in this game.

And Justin, I'm just going to get it out of the way now because we hate talking about it here on talking giants. And I understand it. If they don't give up a freaking punt or kick return for a touchdown, the Giants should be very much in this game to the bitter end. Then it's just a matter of, are they blowing a lead in the fourth quarter?

Or are they going to just have their typical December one extra win to spoil a tank job? So like, pick your poison.

If there's no special teams return, expect one of those two outcomes in what I anticipate

being a close game with two heavily flawed teams.

Yeah, I think the Giants defense is so bad,

and especially knowing that this time of the year when you're this bad,

it's a it's a question about effort,

it's a question about the intensity that you're going to bring

and knowing that there are just zombies on that football field,

knowing that there's a lot of resources being spent on the defense, and typically when you have resources spent on the defense, those are veterans out there. It's not necessarily rookies and guys on the rookie contracts that are playing for their lives and playing for their jobs and playing for money and shit like that. So I simply think it could be a game where Kevin O'Connell will make things easy on J.J. McCarthy.
