Drew and Rob team up on "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates" to break down the New York Giants' season finale against the NFC East champion Philadelphia Eagles. The cohosts dive into every aspect of the game, analyzing the key plays, standout performances, and critical moments that defined this divisional matchup.  

For the Giants, this game marked the end of a grueling 2024 season. With the team entering the game at 3-13, many fans were split on whether to root for a win or hope for a loss to secure a higher draft pick. Drew and Rob discuss how this controversial debate shaped the atmosphere heading into the game and reflect on the team's performance under these circumstances.  

A major storyline was the absence of former Giant Saquon Barkley, who sat out for the Eagles while just 101 yards shy of breaking the NFL's single-season rushing record. Drew and Rob explore how Barkley's absence impacted the game and the emotions tied to seeing him in a rival uniform after years as a cornerstone of the Giants' franchise.  

Speculation surrounding the future of Head Coach Brian Daboll and General Manager Joe Schoen also took center stage, with rumors suggesting this may have been Daboll's final game leading the team. The cohosts analyze how the game—and the season as a whole—might influence the Giants' leadership decisions heading into 2025.  

The Eagles, having locked up the NFC’s No. 2 seed, rested many starters, including their quarterback Jalen Hurts. The Giants faced rookie quarterback Tanner McKee, who led an offense featuring younger players like Kenneth Gainwell, Will Shipley, and Jahan Dotson. On the Giants' side, Drew Lock made his fifth start of the season and looked to build on last week's career-best performance against the Colts. Drew and Rob evaluate Lock's play, assessing whether he could factor into the Giants' future plans.  

The Giants also aimed to snap a decade-long losing streak at Lincoln Financial Field while chasing their first NFC East win of the season. Drew and Rob review whether Big Blue finally overcame these hurdles or fell short again. They also touch on the performances of key players, the coaching staff's approach, and how this game sets the stage for the offseason.  

Whether you're celebrating a rare divisional win or lamenting another tough loss, Drew and Rob's postgame reaction has all the insights, analysis, and banter Giants fans crave. Don't miss this comprehensive breakdown as "2 Giants Goofballs" wraps up a challenging season and looks ahead to what’s next for the New York Giants.
