The New York Giants have had a rough season, but their 34-7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons may have been the breaking point—for the fans, the players, and even the analysts. After watching the Giants suffer their 10th straight loss, two-time Super Bowl champion Bryant McFadden didn’t hold back.
Speaking on CBS Sports HQ, McFadden tore into the team’s effort, discipline, and future. If you thought things couldn’t get worse, McFadden’s blunt assessment might’ve been harder to stomach than the game itself.
McFadden didn’t mince words, saying, “Everyone must go.” According to him, the Giants’ issues go beyond injuries or a lack of talent; it’s about effort and discipline. He pointed out the team’s continued mental errors, bad penalties, and complete lack of fight. “You can’t tolerate not being competitive,” he said, and after Sunday’s performance, it’s hard to argue with him.
"Everyone must go... the [Giants] locker room is gone."

The frustration is palpable, and it’s not just McFadden feeling it. Giants fans have watched this team spiral into irrelevance, and the lack of accountability or signs of life on the field makes it even harder to endure. When a veteran like McFadden says the locker room is lost, it’s clear the problems run deeper than just X’s and O’s.
Are the NY Giants the NFL’s most dysfunctional team?
McFadden’s rant was harsh, but let’s be real—it was fair. Watching this team right now feels like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Drew Lock threw two pick-sixes, making it painfully clear that this team doesn’t just have issues; they’re buried under them. Lock finished with three turnovers and zero answers, while the Giants racked up 10 penalties for 85 yards. That’s not bad football; that’s undisciplined, directionless chaos.
The problem isn’t just the quarterback, though. The entire operation feels broken. Head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen were supposed to bring stability, but two seasons later, the Giants are 17-30-1, and the wheels have completely fallen off. It’s one thing to lose games because of a lack of talent; it’s another to lose because the team looks like it’s already checked out.
McFadden hit the nail on the head when he questioned how this impacts the Giants’ future. If you’re a top prospect in the draft, why would you want to walk into this mess? There’s no clear vision, no culture to buy into, and no signs that anyone in the building has a plan to fix it.
McFadden’s hypothetical about Deion Sanders steering his son Shedeur away from this environment might seem extreme, but is it really? Who wants to hitch their wagon to a franchise that’s stuck in quicksand?
The truth hurts, but sometimes it’s necessary. McFadden’s critique should serve as a wake-up call, not just for ownership but for everyone tied to this disaster of a season. If the Giants don’t make sweeping changes this offseason, they’re not just risking another year of losing—they’re risking their relevance in the NFL entirely.
