Yes and they'll be able to battle through their own early struggles as they develop as a passer because they can keep the chains moving. And for what it's worth FUCK Pederson and this troll job putting Nate Sudfeld in to purposely lose this game. Eagles +6.5 and a bunch of Hurts props. Smh.
It's a clown show of poor decisions, turnovers, and ineptitude. Philly has had plenty of chances to take the lead but it's almost as if they are throwing the game or something haha. They've put in their 3rd string QB now and he has been an absolute calamity.
The NFL must be furious. Doing this on national television and keeping their beloved Giants out of the playoffs. Much more marketable to sell Giants good defense versus Brady and a bigger market.
If there was ever a season that a division winner shouldn’t make the playoffs, it was this one. Just glad the gnats didn’t back their way in.
The only two fanbases that have a right to be angry today are the Dolphins for missing the playoffs despite going 10-6 and the Eagles because their coach just embarrassed them. The Giants went 6-10 in the worst division in football; they had no business being anywhere near the playoffs.
It actually reminded me of the Curtis Painter debacle and the Colts running away from an undefeated season for the sake of rest 2.5 weeks before the playoffs plus a built-in bye. People take more offense when teams out of the playoffs sandbag themselves as opposed to teams in the playoffs though.
I LOLd when the Eagles lineman went offside on Smith's hard count on 4th and 1 to end the game. I do think the Eagles probably win the game with Hurts at QB sucks for the Giants. Next time they shouldn't go 6-10 then expect their archrival to do them a favor in week 17. Washington is a nice story they haven't been in the playoffs in a while, Alex Smith, Ron Rivera and the embattled Mr. Snyder. Chase Young looks like a STUD. Easy team to root for.
Many Eagles fans and people in the media are saying that Pederson tanked in the 4th Qtr. So why would you be upset, since you wanted Douglas to tank 3 games?
