If the Bills were 6-10 and relying on a bad football team to miraculously back us into the playoffs I wouldn't be upset if we didn't make it. I'd be disappointed in the things that we controlled that kept us out. In 2017 the Ravens were knocked out of the playoffs in part because Miami started David Fales at QB against us. I don't remember that being a storyline. It's just a thing teams will do when their season is over and they have nothing to lose. Right. The Eagles were not goiing to the playoffs and the game was meaningless. They certainly were under no obligation to play in any way that would help the Giants or any other team. They are a bad football team making bad decisions with subpar personnel. In the end, they pulled a QB who was awful to get a look at another QB who was awful. Not sure what the uproar is about here.

Shut up. Most of what I saw from Giants players basically said they needed to win more games, not blaming the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Lets say a few years ago that the Bengals pulled Dalton in a close game the Bills needed them to win.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I think Pederson is trying to get fired to get out of the Eagles organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I get it, Giants have to blame themselves. Not excusing them or feeling bad for them. If they were 9-7, 10-6 maybe I would. That being said, what the Eagles pulled was unsportsman like. Yes, teams tank. But they at least *try* to conceal that they are. The Eagles just outright threw the game on a national stage so they could blatently improve their draft capital. They should have just saved everyone the drama and emotion and just declared they were forfeiting this game ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is FOs tank, HCs and players don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I think the NFL should investigate the Eagles motives. Was there a plan to throw the game? I can see the logic in using a meaningless game to get a look at players that normally wouldn't get any time. The reason it looks so bad is that they benched their possible franchise QB when he had a chance to learn and develop more for a nobody 27 year old QB with backup potential.

syhuang Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Would 3 spots in draft order worth losing locker room for Pederson? -------------------------------------------- Miles Sanders: No Philadelphia Eagles players liked QB switch "If I'm being honest, nobody liked the decision. Nobody. That's all I can say," Sanders said during an appearance on 94.1 WIP Tuesday. "I don't know who was the main person behind that decision, but all I know is a lot of people on the team were confused." Center Jason Kelce, a team leader, approached Pederson to ask him about his decision to pull Hurts during the game, a source confirmed, though it was described as non-confrontational. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, two defensive players had to be held back from approaching Pederson after the move was made. -------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
