Giants Lose Heartbreaker and Another Key Player
The New York Giants fell to the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-20, in a game that was tough to watch on every level. Losing to anyone hurts, but losing to the Eagles? That’s the one that stings the most. Anyone but Philly.
To make matters worse, the Giants lost rookie running back Cam Skattebo, who has been one of the most exciting players on the roster. He brought energy, toughness, and life to the offense every week. Sundays just won’t feel the same without him. Here’s hoping for a quick recovery, because he’s exactly the kind of player this team needs.
Dart Keeps Battling Through the Chaos
Even with the loss, Jaxson Dart added two more touchdowns to his rookie season. He didn’t have his best game, but he kept fighting through constant pressure and took some big hits along the way. Dart has heart, and that’s clear every week.
I’m not too worried about wins and losses right now. I just want to see Dart slay the competition and keep developing into the franchise quarterback this team has been missing. The problem is, he has no real weapons. With Malik Nabersout for the season, there isn’t a single receiver defenses fear. I’m hesitant about trading future picks, but honestly, our draft picks haven’t been panning out anyway, so maybe it’s time to take a calculated swing.
Defense and Coaching Continue to Disappoint
The Giants’ run defense was a complete disaster. Philadelphia ran for 276 yards, including 150 from Saquon Barkley. Every run felt like déjà vu — missed tackles, soft edges, no gap control. It was painful to watch.
The most frustrating part came when the Giants had 2nd and 31 after a sack, only to allow a first down on the next play. That sequence sums up the season. It’s absolutely inexcusable.
It genuinely puzzles me that Shane Bowen is still the defensive coordinator. We all saw how this was going to go when Brian Daboll had to look up Bowen’s Titans stats on camera during the offseason. That clip said it all. Nothing about this defense looks organized or disciplined.
Secondary Falls Apart
Injuries have completely gutted the secondary. It got even worse when Cor’Dale Flott left with a concussion. Every week it feels like someone else goes down, and it’s getting impossible to evaluate anyone in that unit.
Officiating, Again, Adds to the Frustration
The referees were brutal. Missed calls all game, including yet another controversial Tush Push that looked like a Jalen Hurts fumble. Even Michael Strahan called it out after the game, saying the refs had one of their worst performances of the season. Games like this make the league’s obsession with that play even harder to defend.
Small Bright Spots in a Rough Afternoon
Amid the chaos, Brian Burns continues to be a monster. He added to his sack total, now sitting at 10 on the season, and is quietly building a Defensive Player of the Year case. Meanwhile, Graham Gano remains perfect on field goals and extra points, proving once again that when he’s healthy, he’s one of the league’s best kickers.
Giants Slipping Toward Draft Watch
The Giants haven’t won in Philadelphia since 2013, that’s 13 straight losses. It’s a painful streak that just won’t end. At 2-6, the focus shifts again to player development and the draft board.
This season might not be about wins and losses anymore. It’s about finding out if Dart truly is the guy, fixing a broken defense, and finally surrounding him with real talent. Because Giants fans deserve better than watching this team get beaten down in Philly every year.
