Week 17 SNF: Washington Football Team at Eagles

This is the type of game that forces leagues to change rules. 


A draft lottery could make sense. Philly knows they can move up 4 spots in the draft if they lose, tanking is almost a no brainer. That was just awful to watch though, I feel bad for Giants fans who had to watch that.

You want to watch an NFL where all eliminated teams throw games?

It's kind of like the MLB unspoken code of conduct.

When you can play spoiler you make a show of doing it. You might want to let that 30 year old scrub get his first and only major league start as a September call-up, but you don't do it when the result of the game matters to some other team.

At first I defended the Eagles because they played to win, and going to a new QB isn't a radical thing to do in Game 16. But after watching what they did with that new QB ...

After that?  I think it may gain some momentum.  Not for this draft of course but maybe for the next.

Weird too because obvious tanking was just not happening this year. The 2 Jets wins, etc.

And then we have a tank to gain 3 places in the draft, not even for moving into the top 5?

Karma says the Eagles pick a Mitch Trubisky at 6 and the new team at 9 gets Mahomes.

I have no sympathy for the Giants.  A 6-10 team doesn’t deserve to go to the playoffs. But that was a bad look for the NFL.  There’s grown men with families sacrificing their bodies to earn their living and some loser coach basically makes a mockery of an NFL game.  Embarrassing.  Pederson don’t deserve to ever coach another game in the NFL.

I mean none of them did.

Meanwhile...And now Pederson has to face Hurts as his starter next season after throwing the last game they played.  If he still has a job.
 

 

I mean it gets them the better picks but Pederson is going to have to worry about not having the locker room next year.

It's a ridiculous thing to prioritize moving up 3 picks at the expense of your entire locker room's morale.  The veterans on that team can't even look Pederson in the eye right now I bet.

I just have to say I’m bummed for my Giants fan buddies. In a just world, relegation would be a thing and the Eagles would be playing in the arena league next year. 

I mean positively they get significantly better draft picks to help fix their broken team.

Locker room morale lost is one thing.....league integrity is another.  This will be a big thing on tomorrow’s shows and take away from an otherwise cool strong day for the league.
