Welcome to John Mara's Worst Nightmare.

His $40 million quarterback can't function at home and wasn't happy about being replaced by Drew Lock in the fourth quarter as Brian Daboll looked for a meaningless spark that never came.

The franchise running back, who he didn't want to part with but his general manager did instead to build up the trenches, was the best player on the field, much to the chagrin of disgruntled Giants fans who were happy to see his old one 26 jersey in the stadium parking lot before burning the Giants to the ground.

The Giants' 28-3 loss to his hated Eagles leaves their season ruined.

Really hard knocks for John Mara.

Remember when he talked about sleepless nights when Saquon Barkley fled New York and ended up in Philadelphia?

Maybe he would have gone to bed Sunday night wishing he was Rip Van Winkle. Maybe in 20 years I'll dream of waking up at a retirement press conference for Arch Manning Once A Giant Only A Giant.

Barkley (176 yards rushing, 1 TD, 2-11 receiving) was a one-man force, reaching 21.92 mph on an explosive 55-yard run in the second quarter, the second fastest of the quarter Season in the NFL, and once the Giants' defenders trailed behind them a la Mark Bavaro against the 49ers, cheered on by enthusiastic Eagles fans.

He laughed when asked by excited Giants fans if he witnessed the jersey burning on the team bus.

“That was crazy. “I've seen my jersey being burned before on social media,” Barkley said, “but the time it happened, it's like I'm locked in, I'm listening to my music and I just see the fans with me The fingers are pointing at me.” I look and ask myself: “Where are they pointing?” I see smoke and my jersey is burned. Yes, that was definitely different. I don't know if I've ever experienced anything like this in my life, and I hope I don't experience it again.

“But at that moment I was ready for the 3rd and 1st try, let’s put it that way.”

He would have been ready for the fourth and forever.

“I probably talked a little more trash today than usual,” Barkley said.

Giants fans booed him every time he touched the ball too early.

“I didn't help myself when I said earlier this week that I didn't think I'd be booed,” Barkley said, “but they boo for a reason.” Ultimately, it's a compliment. That’s how I recorded it.”

He fought through for his 3-yard touchdown.

“I didn’t allow myself to let the moment of me get into the end zone, whether it was at MetLife or not,” Barkley said.

He would have broken his career high of 189 yards, set five years ago, if Nick Sirianni hadn't dropped him in the fourth quarter. Barkley didn't care.
