The Philadelphia Eagles took command of the NFC East on Thursday night with a 28-16 victory over the Washington Commanders but it’s actually the New York Giants who are now the center of attention.
Even as Philly fans celebrated the win, they shifted their focus toward Big Blue and publicly shamed them, chanting “Thank you, Giants!” so loudly that the Thursday Night Football Nightcap panel had to pause their segment on live television.
“It feels amazing,” Barkley said. “Last year was a tough year for me mentally.”
It was co-owner John Mara’s worst nightmare realized but it only got worse. The snowball began rolling downhill and before you knew it, everyone from across the football world decided to get their licks in.
An Eagles victory suddenly became about the Giants, Mara, and general manager Joe Schoen. And none of it was good.

#GIANTS OWNER JOHN MARA IS STRUGGLING TO SLEEP.
“I'll have a tough time sleeping if Saquon goes to Philadelphia…”

“Thank You Giants” chants raining at The Linc … Saquon Barkley is the heart & soul in revamping the #Eagles offense.
Giants Owner John Mara is a nicer man than me protecting GM Joe Schoen’s job better than the President.
I have zero affiliation with PHI or NYG & this chaps me. https://t.co/iKGJdHRihU pic.twitter.com/Uh4Bfho0DL

Cut to John Mara, please.

Because the rest of the NFL thinks the Giants screwed up in letting Saquon walk away to a division rival in his prime and will continue to take shots at them.
Which is probably why John Mara is sitting in his office like this… https://t.co/A6runL6CQg pic.twitter.com/atyVJxIk1j

I'm hoping that John Mara is so disgusted by how well Saquon has played that he sells the team out of anger.

After every #Eagles game, Joe Schoen has to convince John Mara not to fire him for allowing Saquon Barkley to go to Philadelphia. It's amazing he still has a job! #NFL pic.twitter.com/LJiM6zf6k6

The Giants are a laughingstock, they are the butt of every joke, and it doesn’t appear that anyone is holding back. Complete and total humiliation.
