Week 17 NFC EAST Championship Game Day Thread

To me it's the same thing whether you rest starters or pull them in game. In both cases neither Pitt or Philly had anything to play for so they can both do whatever they want.

Also, what no one is talking about is how this decision just helped Pederson with his QB controversy.

Everyone now it talking up J. Hurts, so easy decision to keep him as the starter after this commotion.

Don't get me wrong, if I'm not justifying the decision, just coming up with whatever potential mindset Pederson had to make this decision.

It's not the same. Steelers have the playoffs, so I get them resting some guys so they are healthy for a run at the SB.

I'm not down on the Eagles for resting their banged up players, but J Hurts wasn't banged up. Sudfeld was a significant drop-off in talent and effectiveness. Pederson pulled the rug out from underneath every other player on that team that fought for three quarters.
