Hey, Giant Fans. Welcome to The Giant Insider podcast. My name is Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the Giant Insider newspaper. And with me, as always, is the beat writer in the heart of Giants Nation. Chris Fisignato.

Buddy, I know we're 4 and 11, but you can actually feel some sense of enthusiasm for Sunday's game. Now, I know there are still people, and you put it out there earlier, like,

there's not anyone rooting against the Giants now, are there?

And some shockingly said they were, and that's the prerogative.

I don't judge people.

But I feel like this, for the first time, probably since week, I don't know, five,

the Viking home game maybe, the one where I started this jinks of losing when I, when I attended that game, it feels like there's a sense of excitement around the team just for the fact of being able to knock out the Eagles right now.

Yeah, actually some guys told me in the locker today that they really want to knock out the Eagles, you know. Nice. Finish strong and they kind of, you know, the kind of, the sense of, you know, the theme in the lock room seemed to be, let's get a little payback for the blown game a couple of weeks ago. Yeah. Yeah. And what better way to get a little payback and then sort of like, you know, kill the two birds and one stone type deal where you can knock them out at the same time, you know? Yeah, I mean, there's so much payback that can give this team, right? I mean, there's guys that haven't been on the Giants for the last however many years, obviously. But it just seems like forever since we beat them in a meaningful game. And although it wouldn't be meaningful to

us, it would be meaningful to them if we could just knock them the hell out of the playoffs, man. It would be, for me, it would be the highlight of the year by a mile. You know, there's things to look forward to it like Jones and Sequin and other things. But this would just be a nice send-off into the off season for me, bud.

Yeah, matter of fact,

Stolen Shepherds said that to be today ago.

So I've been here since 16.

I don't think we've beat him. but this would just be a nice send-off into the off season for me, bud.

Yeah, matter of fact, Stolen Shepard said that to be today. He goes, I've been here since 16.

I don't think we've beat him.

He'd beat him once, whatever it was.

And he goes, it seems like we haven't beaten him in a long, long time. He goes, I think it's about time, you know? So, yeah, that's the mood in the lock room is, you know, let's finish strong, knock these guys off.

And if it knocks them out of the playoffs, it knocks them out of the playoffs, you know.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, listen. lock them is uh you know let's finish strong knock these guys off and if it knocks them out of

playoffs it knocks them out of the playoffs you know yeah yeah hey listen it's time i mean this is a rivalry

right it's you know although this you know word rivalry and now in the NFL is kind of like you know
