The Giants' Week 8 loss to the Eagles was a tough pill to swallow, especially since they could not stop the Eagles’ rushing attack and lost running back Cam Skattebo for the season. Skattebo was so effective as a runner and pass receiver that it definitely put a dent in the Giants' offense.

The New York Giants (2-6) are gearing up for a Sunday afternoon showdown with the San Francisco 49ers (5-3), marking rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart’s sixth start in the NFL. Unfortunately for Dart, after losing star wide receiver Malik Nabers for the season earlier this year,

On Monday, Esiason and his WFAN co-host Greg Giannitti both questioned the officiating in the Giants’ 38-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. The play that stood out the most was defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux’s perfect execution against the mostly unstoppable tush-push.

The Giants were fined $200,000, while Daboll was fined $100,000 and Skattebo $15,000 for "conduct detrimental to the league."

Regarding Evan Neal, if the Giants could move on from him and acquire something of value in return, it should be a deal they look to make, given how poorly he’s played in recent years. Neal was drafted with the No. 7 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, with many expecting him to be an elite offensive tackle. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case.
