**TNF on Prime - Eagles at Giants**(+7.5, 40.5) 8:20 (6 Viewers)

So, if the KC Chiefs win, it's because of the refs.

And if the Eagles lose, it's because of the refs.

Have I captured this correctly?
Man, I can appreciate the extreme schadenfreude, but nobody’s claimkng the refs cost them this game.

Are there any at all even one NY Giants' fan in this thread complaining about the officiating?

Are there any Eagles' fans complaining about the officiating in this thread? Hmmmmm?
The DPI and the Illegal contact were both called poorly. Of course Philly fans are gonna complain about that, when they’re looking to come back. Nobody saying the officials gave the Giants the game.

But, I get that you’re just running smack on Eagles fans. It’s cool, I’m just disgusted. Real football and FF wise

Buddy, you have a Super Bowl to fall back on. Just last year. At 4-2, the season is far from over and the Eagles are still in 1st.

The officiating was fine. It didn't cost the Eagles. The Eagles have also benefited massively over the years from the inability of the refs to officiate the Tush Push. It is off-putting to read complaints about officiating from the same fans that benefited from it. Right?
 
Two big plays on the PHI side. The Hurts overthrow to Smith on what could've been a 90 yard TD. And the INT on the pass to Smith that was slightly behind, but a good play by the CB.

And multiple big plays by Hart.
 
I don’t know of any Giants’ fans on here but Frankman, but good game to you all. That was a complete woodshed *** whooping.

Rookie QB, rookie RB, 4th and 5th string WRs- impressive display.

I'm just in shock. The energy Dart and Skattebo have brought to the team have been so infectious, and it helps that they're playing actually well.

The defense is young and not very well co-ordinated (looking at you Bowen), but boy they have talent.
 
Alstott but taller.

Uh, way more burst than Alstott. Actually, his burst is almost legendary.

Skattebo vert - 39.5
Alstott - 33

Skattebo Broad - 10' 03"
Alstott Broad - 9' 09"

Half of a foot each time standing still. That's a chasm.

Cam Skattebo posts one of top results at 2025 NFL Scouting Combine​

Arizona State's running back improved his NFL Draft stock on Saturday - Ben Sherman

Cam Skattebo decided not to flash his speed at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, electing to skip the 40-yard dash, 10-yard split, 3-cone drill and 20-yard shuttle.

Instead, Arizona State's All-American running back showcased his explosive athleticism, posting one of the best vertical jump results of any player at the combine.

Skattebo, who was measured at 5-foot-9 1/2 and weighed in at 219 pounds, recorded a vertical jump of 39.5 inches on Saturday — tied for fifth-best among all players. It was the second-best leap among the running backs, just behind the 40.5-inch jump recorded by Virginia Tech running back Bhayshul Tuten.

For perspective, Skattebo's jump was 2.5 inches better than Bijan Robinson's mark at the 2023 combine. Robinson rushed for 976 yards during his rookie season with the Atlanta Falcons and was one of the best running back in the NFL in 2024, rushing for 1,456 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Skattebo also participated in the broad jump, recording a leap of 10 feet, 3 inches, tied for the sixth-best mark among running backs.

I think blaming officiating is bush league, as a player or a fan. Don’t put yourself in a position to be affected by bad calls and you won’t have to worry about them.

DEN won the game last week. Philly should’ve won, because they were up big until the 4th Qtr, not because of bad calls.

Philly should’ve won this game, too. ON PAPER. But they don’t play on paper and the Giants laid a complete shellacking on them.

I honestly hope they ban the tush push, because I’m so sick and tired of all the moaning and complaining about a QB sneak.

And, yes, hearing Pats’ and Chiefs’ fans complain about officiating made me incredulous and indignant, too.

Super Bowl feels like a long damn time ago
 
I had forgotten it was 17-13 just before the half. What an absolute disaster of a 2nd half. It's like they just decided we were done playing.
It's bizarre. Barkley has been a blessing and a curse.

He singlehandedly got them a super bowl. He also made them so self-assured that they only need Hurts & Saquon to the point that now it seems Hurts has all but forgotten how to be an actual quarterback. The passing game is completely paralyzed at the moment.

I already knew his jumps. I had to look up Alstott’s

I looked up “Alstott, broad and vertical jump,” searched and found a screen shot of his old RAS, and searched for “Skattebo, jumps” and cut and pasted an article

Note my correction. AI might indeed have written that article (it says ASU and I figured it was university), but if I don’t do it quickly everybody misses it.

I think you did that with something legal of mine. It’s really okay. Now you know how versatile and smart I am. LOL

:)
 
Rookie QB with Wandale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt and Beaux Collins as his WRs.

Giants get pummeled.
Fan favorite mobile qb and fan favorite rb power a passing game with Robinson and 2 very good TEs over an emotional basketcase WR1 pretending to be well-read, a qb who has forgotten how to pass and an offensive coordinator who hates barkley.

Giants 31 Eagles 10

I was just joking around.

But I reiterate the team assessments. :D

well, he could never pass very well to begin with. asking jalen hurts to support a passing game is foolish. his value is in his running and needing help getting over the goal line.
 
Wow. What an amazing game.

Jaxson Dart with scrub WRs to deliver that kind of performance was incredible. And the Giants defense to shut them out in the 2nd half.

One of my best friends is very close to Lane Kiffin and I think Dart is surprising even them.

Do do what he did with vastly inferior talent against Fangio seems incredible.
 
Listened to Dan Orlovsky on Get Up yesterday breaking down the Eagles offense - in shotgun 98% of the time, teams know when it's a run by how deep Saquon lines up, how they repeat the same plays out of the same formation to the same side of the field... and then to watch it all unfold last night. They need to make so serious changes to their scheme. Watching again this morning, the back-breaker INT was the 4th time they ran that exact play (formation, personnel, same side, same read).
 
I have a dynasty team with Hurts, Saquon, D Smith, Wan'Dale and Goedert.

Guess which 2 I *didn't* start last night because I didn't want to put more than half my lineup in one game. :wall:
 
It's been like this the last few years and I believe it's because the schedule is so much harder now to generate because of all the variables

Thursday Night games in which they want every team to play at least one.
Europe games which require traveling teams to have a bye the next week.
two teams using same stadium....Rams/Chargers Giants/Jets

Just a thought
 
This was a classic trap game for the Eagles. They were not ready to play and the G-men made them pay. Dart and Skat were amazing.

I just don't understand the PHI offense. Saquon rips 2 long runs to start the game......why change it up? Saquon should have had over 100 yds in this game.

Hurts is a great fantasy QB, but I don't think he's a really good NFL QB.

TNF inter divisional games are always tricky and usually competitive.
 
The pessimistic Eagles fan in me says that the narrative for this game feels like the following: Giants impressive D-line takes advantage of our mash unit Oline and ends up pressuring Jalen a lot. This leads to a couple of turnovers-probably a strip sack and a forced pass to AJ that gets picked. Offense can't get going and AJ finally blows his top. Jalen Carter questionable hurts us-Giants offense not grea but not terriible either. The Giants defense scores off of one of the turnovers mentioned above to help the cause and the Eagles lose a sloppy, flag-filled game 17-10. To be clear, this is how this week feels. Maybe the Phils' dangling by two fingers at the edge of the cliff has me feeling this way, but I just can't shake this feeling of inevitability that this is going to be a bad game.

That being said, the Gints just lost to the Saints. My hope is that they've cleaned up the pre-snap mistakes, Jalen and Brown have cleared the air to a point where they might be on the same page now, the Fangio vs rookie QBs lore proves to be real and the Birds do real damage to a lesser NYG team-something like 28-10. I just don't think this is the case.

Reality is probably somewhere in the middle so I'm gonna go Eagles over Gints in an ugly game that keeps fans wondering if this is 2023 all over again for the next ten days.

Birds 20-17
The pessimistic Eagles fan in me is usually the right one. What a disaster of a game. Arguably the worst played game in Sirianni's career here.

Without Mitchell, the Eagles' outside CBs are also vastly inferior talent.

But overall, the Eagles have one of the most talented rosters in the league. And have had for a couple of years.

The fact Jaxson Dart looked awesome throwing to Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalen Hyatt was amazing.

Malik Nabers is going to be even more of a thing if he returns to form next year.
