Week 17 NFC EAST Championship Game Day Thread

Pulling on Hurts was ... odd.

Eagles had 2 QB questions. Big one - do they fully commit to 2nd round rookie Jalen Hurts in 2021? Do they continue to carry FA Sudfeld as their QB3 on their active roster as they have for a few years now?

I think they Eagles saw enough to answer "yes" to question 1 - they are committing to Hurts. So why not get a last look at Sudfeld. Whose poor play makes his decision easy.

Theyve answered the 2 QB questions and secured the no. 6 overall pick .. a Jamaar Chse or D Smith or Sewell or Parsons etc
-------------

4th and goal decision - no problem with that. Hurts completes that and its brilliant.

And if Sudfeld led them to a W people would be calling Pederson a genius today. Honestly I could care less about all this drama. We won, game over. On to Tampa.

I'm pretty sure if the Eagles were playing either the Cowboys or Giants last night, and it was Washington depending on the win, what the Eagles did would not have been a big deal or not widely discussed.

and they would not have been mentioning us nearly as often as they did the Giants. Man the booth was awful last night. ( I hate the SNF booth)

im with ya all the wy ..on to the Bucs


we won moving on

Probably something along the lines of - that's unfortunate and part of the game.

No it would be “why was your starting QB for next year playing in bad conditions in a meaningless game”. It’s easy to second guess or criticize any decision made when you aren’t responsible for it.

This is hands down the most blatant hold I’ve ever seen. Dude was trying to reenact the titanic scene. Luckily this wasn’t a TD for philly.

Tampa will be without LB Devin White for the Wild Card game against Washington but the news sounds good for WR Mike Evans. MRI reveals no structural damage, per @JayGlazer
, and Evans seems on track to play Saturday night

^^ Devin White is cleared of covid protocol on Sunday .. game is Saturday. Hes the Bucs leading tackler, big blow.

He literally lifted Settle off of the ground. That said, Settle needs to be flailing his arms to get the attention of the refs.

Refs did everything they could to help the Giants last night. If the game had been called on the level, we win in a blow out. Blatant uncalled holding fouls by the Philly OL all night long. Not one single call. Not one. The first Eagles TD drive was a travesty. We stopped them three or four times, only to have bogus penalties called to extend the drive. The one pass interference call at the sideline on third and long was outright criminal. The only penalties called on Philly all night were 2 or 3 obvious off-sides, one obvious block in the back, and a holding on a punt play where the Eagle tackled our wide man right off the snap. Even on that punt play, since the obvious penalty occurred pre-kick, it could have, and probably should have, been called defensive holding, giving us a first down. The player is an eligible receiver until the ball is kicked. That is why you will often hear the ref say "after the kick" or "before the kick" when announcing penalties, because before the kick it is a defensive foul and after the kick it is a return team foul.

He literally lifted Settle off of the ground. That said, Settle needs to be flailing his arms to get the attention of the refs.

There was at least 2 missed holding calls on the Eagles o-line last night, the Settle one and there was another play where one of our linemen got literally tackled on an outside rollout and they didn't call it.

I'm not one to blame the refs when we take an L but the officiating was terrible last night.
