Geez, what a joke that guy is.

 

[ravidubey]

Washington, NY, and Philly all have playma

So we are picking 10th? I mean if Surtan is still sitting there we have to take him. I think he will be gone at that point though.

If Surtain is the BPA at that point, then definitely.

This board is full of stupidity (I say that as a good thing) year round. Not just the season.

Of course. I will be here. I hunt a lot so when I am on land I spend a lot of time in the woods, but I will pretty much be here daily.

 

[roughneck266]

Geez, what a joke that guy is.

I think someone has watched too much wresting.

Somebody pumped him up with a lot of false bravado.

It was pretty cringy.

Well, look on the bright side boys...the Eagles had no intention of trying to win this game.

they basically broadcast that during the week by inactivating most starters

 

[bbgun]

NY talk radio is feisty today

Honestly, what has Washington gained? They will get reamed hard by the Bucs and sent home. Congrats! The best team in the league's worst ever division.

Having a mostly healthy team and only going 6-10 must really suck. Daniel Jones and Garrett will never take that team anywhere

I thought Jones had something his first few games, or even preseason games, but apparently he doesn't. Doesn't seem like he's gotten a bit better.

Yea, sometime around Thanksgiving I said it's one thing for us to make the playoffs at 6-10 or 7-9 or whatever, because in actuality we're really at least a 9 win team or better with all of our pieces.

It's another for a team that is legitimately a 6 or 7 win team like the Giants or WFT because there is no cavalry coming to save them next year. Unless they hit a few home runs in FA or the draft they'll be right back around the 6-8 win mark while we should be 10-6 or 11-5.

Couldn't happen to a better team. I will watch just to see them get prison raped.

Yeah at least us going 6-10 or 7-9 I feel like it was mostly with backups. To have that record with most of your starters and your coaches coming back it has to feel defeating. Or at least I would if I was a Giants fan. I guess maybe they can cling to the though that Barkley will fix everything.

So, not having the desire to win a game is a slap in the face to a team that didn't do enough to win on their own merit? Grow up. It's like crying that the refs screwed you. It doesn't change anything and if you had played the way you needed to you wouldn't be dependent on them to get you anywhere. I'm pretty sure when the Eagles blew it, it wasn't to make sure the Giants didn't go to the playoffs. As if they care which of their division opponents goes to the playoffs instead of them.

I mean it's some of the shitty part of the NFL but we see it every year. Some teams essentially get a free win on their schedules. Some teams have to actually earn all of their wins. The Skins got a free win. The Giants had to earn all (with a lucky no challenge) their wins.

No one is bitching about the Browns getting to play all the Steelers backups though. Or the Chargers getting the Chiefs second squad.

Everyone knows that tanking takes place every year. But this was just so obvious. Taking your starting QB out of a game you are only 3 points behind, and against a division rival no less? At least try to hide the fact you are tanking.

As for the Steelers and Chiefs that was only because of resting players for the playoffs. That also happens all the time, and isn't at all like tanking. They already had their playoff seedings wrapped up.

For the record, I agree with everything Judge said there.

It was horribly obvious. You have a young QB who you think is your future, ok get him reps. But they actually pulled that guy, deprived him of the opportunity to build and get better and put in a third stringer who is lucky to be in the NFL and is going nowhere. There is no explanation other than they didn't want to win. I think Pederson is an asshole for doing it.
