That's not the fault of Washington or it's players. You guys came to play and you did. You take the win and move on. Congratulations.

Sissy Giants' fans just need to shut up. Crying because their 6-10 team is out of the playoffs? Get real. Eagles don't have to field the team that Giants fans want them to field.
Not to mention that Hurts had completed less than a third of his passes for under 100 yards through three quarters. If he couldn’t run they’d have been doing nothing on offense. Hell one of their drives only succeeded because of the refs. It’s not like he was putting up HOF numbers....

I don't get all the negativity. I get some of it, but you can only beat the team you face, and we did that. I am not favouring us to beat Tampa, but we're NFC East champs and in the playoffs. NOBODY would have predicted that after going 2-7. Let's just revel in the moment before we come crashing back to earth in the next couple of weeks (barring a miracle).

He averaged more yards per carry than Gibson.

Hurts I think will be a fine back up QB but just doesn't pass it well enough to be a 16 game starter.

The Steelers won their first 11 games so they earned the right to sit starters. To me what the Eagles did yesterday compromised the integrity of the sport. They sat 10 or 11 starters yet they have no game next week. Then you go for it on 4th down and 4 when you had an easy chance to tie the game? Then you pull Hurts for a journeymen 3rd stringer late in the game? All of it made no sense other then Petersen was trying to secure the best draft pick for the Eagles. Sorry I just can't get behind it.

Then we have a QB w/ one leg out there that gets sacked if you blow on him. He can't drive the ball. I have had enough of the Smith lovefest. And it's nothing against Alex cause he is just an outstanding guy, but he should not be out there.

Yeah I get that, but he wasn't lighting things up in the air that's for sure. This narrative that pulling him cost them the game is a little weak IMO.

It's also valid.

After YEARS of our team making shithead decisions like what the Eagles did, for once I'm glad to be on the better end of those decisions.

F the Eagles. They made a terrible decision and I'm glad we benefited from it. They already got a circus situation with their QB position, which I'm pretty sure may have influenced Pederson's decision.

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.

Gonna' piss me off if the Eagles, YET AGAIN, get major draft capital for a QB. They did that shit to us for McNabb and they did it for Foles.

Re: Week 17 NFC EAST Championship Game Day Thread

Wonder what all these talking heads would be saying about keeping Hurts in if he’d have slipped and torn his ACL in the fourth quarter after it really started raining....

Pederson has a history of going for it in those type moments. He lives to be seen as the grandmaster of football. Fact is he also saw that Hurts, having been given the ball at the 15 could not score a go ahead touchdown, so he moved on with his plan to put Sudfield in. As I said in the other thread, our defense was not giving them points, and for all we know Curl gets another INT, or pick 6 off of Hurts too. The future wasn't written at the point he pulled Hurts, but our defense's history in the 4th quarter this year points toward a Washington win either way.
