https://www.si.com/nfl/2021/01/04/ph...not-acceptable HOME NFL The NFL Should Punish the Eagles For Their Shameful Display in Week 17 The Eagles seemingly had no interest in winning on Sunday, and the NFL should let teams know that isn't acceptable. CONOR ORR16 HOURS AGO The Eagles’ organizational plan to tank their final game for a better draft pick was somewhat obvious from the moment they put out their inactives list and healthy-scratched some of the veterans who could have helped them win their final game of the season. It was slightly more evident when they rolled Jalen Hurts out on a fourth-and-four against one of the best defenses in football to try and score, in lieu of kicking a game-tying field goal with two minutes to play in the third quarter (yes, we know the math favored going for it, though one could make a sober, clear-headed argument for sensibly taking the points). But the moment Doug Pederson pulled a seemingly healthy, effective Jalen Hurts from the football game after watching him successfully navigate one of the most aggressive defensive lines in the league (he had a poor passer rating but had two rushing touchdowns to cap long scoring drives), only to insert usual third-stringer Nate Sudfeld, the nakedly brazen maneuver quickly changed tenor from cheeky to macabre. In one minute, it went from something the NFL could laugh off and explain away through its media-sympathetic minions lacking the ability to filter critical information to something they should investigate and penalize. ......and from the Washington Post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sport...erson-tanking/

The NFL’s longstanding position has been that it’s solely the club’s decision regarding who to play, for now long, etc. So while the circumstances (Sunday) are unique, the*#Eagles*aren’t the first team to play backups in Week 17, and the league historically hasn’t gotten involved. translation: suck it up buttercups Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk |

Re: NFC East Champs
https://twitter.com/CarlBanksGIII/st...44987570237441 Carl Banks @CarlBanksGIII Take the NYG out of the equation (they had chances to control their destiny), i am wondering if Pederson is trying to get fired. He owes the Giants nothing but he owes his team more respect that these moves.. i really do think he's trying to get out of Philly

The NY fans and media are embarrassing themselves. Really. This NY-centric "reporting" doesn't even address how poorly Hurts was playing (other than to lie and say he was "effective" and "successfully navigating"). 45 QBR isn't "effective" and "successfully navigating". The only "successful navigation" was by the officials throwing a flag on three consecutive third and long stops in the first scoring "drive" for PHIL. Hurts did absolutely zip in the second half. He was stopped cold. Again, no credit to the WFT defense at all, or to JDR's halftime adjustments, for that matter. It's ridiculous. Do you even realize that you are discrediting our team with this whiny bs? |

Re: NFC East Champs
So that's a "no" you don't realize it. Well, you are. The WFT won the NFC East. That isn't saying much, but they earned it. This crap you are currently spewing on our site isn't befitting. I've not seen you be respectful before, which is why I asked if you even realized it. To pretend that the WFT defense didn't respond and stop Hurts in the second half is just a false narrative that discredits their efforts.
