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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ... 2 minutes ago, 4merper4mer said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I'm sorry but 6-10 football teams don't get to be entitled about possible playoff appearances. As much as the Eagles supposedly tanked the game they only lost by 3 points. Hurts was pulled because he was playing terrible and there was effectively no way for Philly to win with either QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand what people are seeing that makes them think it was an intentional loss. Hurts was playing terrible. The only other active QB was Sudfeld. There was zero chance of either QB winning this game. If they were tanking why start Hurts in the first place? Why not run on every down? What happened is the Eagles tried for 3 quarters and then Pederson realized Hurts doesn't have it. I'm not saying he's a good coach but everyone assuming he lost on purpose makes no sense to me.

They didn't have zero chance with him in there and it was a 3 point game. They had zero chance with Sudfeld. Based on what we saw Sudfeld couldn't lead a single scoring drive if you gave him 60 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 That was rough. After a day when teams that had no playoff chance played like they had everything on the line, the Eagles just folded. It was disrespectful to the players on the field. They were fighting hard to win that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
