In a fiery statement that has electrified Giants fans ahead of Week 8, franchise legend Eli Manning has thrown his full support behind New York, insisting that “this is the year” the Giants finally take down their NFC East rival, the Philadelphia Eagles, for the first time since 2007.

“I know what it feels like to beat Philly — it takes heart, discipline, and the belief that you can,” Manning said during a segment on Monday Morning Blitz. “This team has that fire. You can see it in Jaxson Dart’s eyes, you can see it in how that defense is flying around. They want this one bad.”

The Giants have endured 17 years of heartbreak against the Eagles, losing every matchup since October 27, 2013 — a stretch that has defined one of the NFL’s most one-sided rivalries in recent memory. But Manning believes something is different this time.

He pointed to the team’s renewed energy under head coach Brian Daboll and the emergence of young stars like rookie running back Cam Skattebo and wide receiver Darius Slayton, who’s been vocal about wanting revenge after the Giants’ narrow loss earlier this season.

“It’s not just another game,” Manning added. “It’s personal. When you’ve been dominated this long by one team, at some point, pride kicks in. And for the Giants, I think that moment is now.”

The Eagles, currently sitting near the top of the NFC standings, are heavy favorites heading into Sunday’s clash — but with the Giants fueled by emotion and a chance to rewrite history, Manning believes this could be the ultimate trap game.

“They’ve got nothing to lose,” he said. “That’s dangerous. You give this team a little confidence early, and the whole thing could flip fast. I’ve seen it before.”

As the showdown approaches, Giants fans are rallying around Manning’s words, flooding social media with the hashtag #BeatPhillyForEli — a rallying cry that captures the city’s hunger to end nearly two decades of frustration.

Whether they can actually pull it off remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: Eli Manning has lit a fire under Big Blue, and the Eagles are officially on notice.

Owner David Tepper Admits He Lacks the Competence to Run Football Operations
Can you believe it? David Tepper, the "notorious" owner of the Carolina Panthers, has finally "confessed" a truth that team fans have been waiting for years: He doesn't have enough ability to handle everything himself! But hold on, this isn't a "disaster" – it's a "positive twist" that's saving the Panthers! Is Tepper "letting go" to let the team soar? Read now to uncover the "secret" behind this shocking statement! David Tepper, the billionaire famous for his "deep interference" style in the Carolina Panthers, has undergone an astonishing positive change in ownership. Instead of "micromanaging" every decision like before, Tepper is now less involved, allowing football operations to run independently under the guidance of experts. The result? The team is achieving stability and success beyond expectations, currently tied for first in the NFC South with potential to return to the playoffs after many "sinking" seasons! At the annual charity event Joy to the Carolinas on December 9, 2025, Tepper expressed confidence in the organization's new direction, implicitly admitting that he's not a "superhero" who can run everything himself. He said: "It's not bad at all. It's pretty good; it's all just building blocks, and we'll see where we go. We'll see what happens. We think, as I've said, Dave Canales, Dan Morgan, Brandt Tilis, and everyone in the organization, we're building something special in Carolina. And we've built it outside the community. We're building it on the field, so that's the overall picture. Hopefully, we can continue and have that for many years. That's what we're looking for." This "confession" is actually a wise acknowledgment: Tepper recognizes past mistakes when pushing for quick results, leading to a series of disastrous failures like continuous coach firings and poor draft choices. Now, he supports his professional picks – like head coach Dave Canales, general manager Dan Morgan, and vice president Brandt Tilis – without "interfering." Instead, Tepper focuses on infrastructure (like stadium upgrades) and community efforts, transforming himself from a "demanding boss" to a "silent supporter"! The Panthers are exceeding expectations at the end of the season, with solid gameplay and higher team spirit than ever. Optimism is spreading without the "must-win now" pressure – something that once caused the team to "break apart" under old Tepper. Fans, after years of "disappointment," now appreciate Tepper's enthusiasm and improved role as a true asset. Many fans on social media comment: "Finally, Tepper knows to 'let go' – and the Panthers are soaring because of it!" Some even predict that if this approach is maintained, the Panthers could become the "big boss" of the NFC South for many years to come. But is this "admission" a sign that Tepper is about to sell the team? Or just a "ploy" to appease fans? The Panthers ownership scandal is "hotter than ever" – and Tepper's words could change the team's history! What do you think, is Tepper really "incompetent" or is he "playing fair"? Comment now and follow for the next NFL "drama"!
