BT & Sal dissect the shocking mid-season firing of Giants Defensive Coordinator Shane Bowen by interim Head Coach Mike Kafka after yet another disastrous fourth-quarter defensive collapse against the Lions. Sal argues the move is merely "throwing a bone to the fans" since Bowen was gone at season's end anyway, while BT views it as Kafka establishing authority and discipline to secure the head coach job. They fiercely debate whether Kafka made the "right call" to go for a touchdown on 4th down late in the game instead of kicking a field goal, agreeing that in the Giants' current state, being aggressive and seeking a two-score lead was the only way to try and put the better Lions team away. The discussion expands to the future: should Joe Shane be kept as GM, and can Kafka's impressive two-week tenure earn him the permanent HC job? The segment includes Kafka's transparent explanation on why he chose "now" to make the difficult change.
