The New York Giants got cheated by the referees against the Eagles in Week 8 — and lost Cam Skattebo to a gruesome ankle injury. Giant Mess podcast host Neal Lynch recaps the carnage in Philly, vents about the officiating insanity (is the NFL rigged?!), and looks ahead to a winnable home matchup vs the underwhelming 49ers in Week 9. Can Jaxson Dart keep the offense alive without his top two playmakers? Will the defense stop sleepwalking? And when can we move on from this coaching staff?
👉 Injury fallout: Skattebo out, flat-out bad luck
👉 Defensive collapse: scheme failure or player rebellion?
👉 Officiating rant: Tush Push fumble? DPI inconsistencies?
👉 49ers preview: Are they beatable at home?
👉 Giants playoff hopes: is there still a pulse?
