As if it's never happened before.
Tale of two teams in Washington. While the defense has been fairly good all year. They flip a switch depending on whether Smith (5-1) was under center. Haskins isn't even on the team anymore.

I believe that was sarcasm.
Interesting division going forward. Prescott will be back for the cowboys that's got to be worth a couple of wins, Riveria is a good coach with a solid staff and the owner finally got out of the way they are an improving team. Don't know what to make of the eagles who prior to this year were always tough ,they'll probably be improved from this year and bring back some of that Philly grit. I believe the Giants overall are in a good place in this division. Stability in coaching and I believe they found there guy in Judge. Need to hit on the draft combining with a free agent or two. They have some good players and team definitely improved over the course of the season. In this division other than a healthy Prescott you have the best Quarterback, its a process and he's moving forward contrary to the other Quarterback in town, Imo your in a good place at that position. I'm a patriot fan and we never had to be worried about that position for 2 decades and all of a sudden we got nothing, Cam tried but his best is far behind him. If we could have Jones tomorrow I'd take him. I was hoping it would work out for my Giant friends on the board and get in the playoffs. Close guys.
Are you arguing that Washington is a good football team?
Washington, with a losing record, is not a good football team. They are no more deserving of the playoffs thanks to the Eagles coach deciding not to compete, than the Giants who played all but 1+ of their games without Saquon Barkley, and who lost 4 games by a combined 10 points.
With all the grandstanding about "protecting the shield" coming out of NFL HQ, perhaps they should show more concern for the integrity of the game.

Not really. Mediocre at best. They had a good defense and a chance to win more games, but couldn't get it done. Be that as it may, WFT is more deserving of the playoffs than the Giants. They were tied at the end of November and NY held the head-to-head tie-breaker. They proceeded to spit the bit.
Of their 6 wins, The Giants won 5 games by a total of 16 points. That cuts both ways. You are what your record says you are.

2 of the Giant wins were against the team that is going to the playoffs hence why many still felt they deserved it just as much. But who cares no one deserved anything in the East. Would love to see Washington beat Brady and the Bucs but that would ruin the next weeks match ups.

I didn't say anything about Washington but I do agree they are equally as bad.

And by virtue of that very tiebreaker, they'd be in the playoffs if they had won just one more game. They did not.

As Eagles fan, thanks. You pretty much nailed it. I’ve been saying it all day. This is pretty much the first time I’ve even seen the Eagles have a “tank” situation. Some teams stink to the point in which they “tank” regularly. Also, need I remind Giants fans of how they got Eli Manning?!?!? And the “integrity” of that gangster maneuver?!?!?

Why doesn't the NFL just go the ping pong ball route to avoid this nonsense? The whole Trevor Lawrence watch was embarassing quite frankly. Maybe they will ping pong it up as a response to this.
Take the 20 non-playoff teams, give the worst record 20 ping pongs and the best non-playoff team 1 ping pong. Make a night out of it. It's the NFL for god sakes. Even their NFL lottery drawing will draw crazy ratings. This is a league where some people act like the world has to stop when they release the next year's schedules.

It’s one thing to signal before the game that you’re gonna rest players, or take them out after a couple of series.
But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team gag and fold like a cheap suit that late in a very close game. You’d think if anything the Eagles would love to stick it to the WFT, on principle alone. Misery loves company so if I gotta go fishing, you gotta go too.
It was a chickenspit move and bet the players weren’t too thrilled about it. Pedersen lost a lot of respect in that locker room.

Again, I’ve never seen the Eagles have a “tank” situation. The Giants just recently “garbaged” their way into Jones and Barkley. Also, I see you neglected to mention the “cry baby” sorcery that landed the Giants Eli Manning. Please stop Giants fans. The Eagles need to rebuild and for once they decided to settle for a better pick. Boo Hoo. You have teams that have been doing this annually and forever. It was about a better pick and not the Giants “Tom Brady” Prom. Get the receipts and take the gowns back.
Win more games

I guess I don’t see the difference.
How long will G-women cry this off-season. You won 6 games, 1 against a team with a winning record. Stfu. You’re not good, hence you’re drafting 9th. You want to make the playoffs - here’s an idea ... win more games than you lose.
why are dolphins fans not crying? They’re home with 10 wins because Steelers sat Big Ben.

Really not that many Giants fans are mad about this just pointing out the Eagles tanking like everyone else is, it is what it is. Im glad the Eagles did this, its good for the Giants and bad for the Eagles. Of course its no ones fault except for the Giants, thats one motivating factor, control your own destiny. Now will have extra motivation to beat the Eagles twice. You wonder how this will affect the Eagles locker room, would upcoming FA wanna play for Joe Judge or Doug Peterson.
Definitely, JJ. He’s proven he can win 6 games while DO has only won a SB and been named coach of the year.
oh, and to be clear, the view is eagles tanked to move up 3 spots in draft? If that’s the criteria - who else “tanked” by losing 1 game. Bengals? Panthers? Broncos? 49ers? Steelers?

To be clear, I wish hurts finished the game. I’m not sold on him and wanted to see him in a tight game. But a team out of contention using the last game to evaluate players is not uncommon.
You need to stop whining about how deserving the g-women are after a masterful run that saw them win all of 6 (or 37.5%) of their games. If u wanted to make the playoffs, take all that integrity crap and win 7 frigging games. How did integrity in football get hijacked by losing teams and teams refusing to play?

Tell me more about how important it was for the Eagles to evaluate Nate Sudfeld before next year

It looks like they're not bringing back Wentz. Maybe they wanted to see if Sudfeld was an option as Hurts' backup?

I'll believe Wentz isn't back when I see it, he has a $59M dead cap hit if he's cut and $34M if he's traded. I just don't see how the Eagles can even afford to move on

This shouldn't be about the Giants and any of them whining about it is a bad look, this is about Pederson and the Eagles. What he did is a terrible look that lost him the locker room and embarrassed himself and the Eagles.
Eagles players, coaches were shocked by Doug Pederson’s QB switch, resulting in sideline confrontations
In many cases, Eagles players and assistants had no inclination that Nate Sudfeld was part of the offensive game plan, and if they did, they figured it had been abandoned because of the tight score.

Please do remind us exactly what the Giants did wrong.

Who are you talking to?
Who said the Giants "deserved" to make the playoffs?
Why do you hate women?
The Eagles didn't use the last game to evaluate players. The head coach decided not to try to win the game even though it was there for the taking.
Considering their starter has expressed a desire to leave and the rookie was 7-20 that night for less than 100 yards (and barely above 50% a year), apparently they felt it was important to get a one and only look at him. Probably as much as Steelers needed to see their backup play entire game.
when did it become the eagles job to help out a 6-10 team make the playoffs? DO YOUR JOB and stop blaming others. You’re the 9th worst team.
how about a thank you for moving your pathetic team up 10 spots in draft and saving u the embarrassment of being worst ever playoff team and getting pasted by bucs.

So going for a td to take the lead rather than a fg to tie is playing to lose. Interesting.

No one is suggesting that the Eagles had any responsibility to help the Giants.
But anyone with a shred of integrity recognizes that they intentionally threw that game, which is something quite different.
Who are you responding to?
ICYMI - The Bucs needed a 2nd half rally and failed 2 point conversion attempt to avoid overtime and beat the Giants 25-23.
No one is saying the giants are good. They sucked so they got high draft picks. But when they had chase young if they lost to Washington last year....they played to win and they did..and lost out on young. no One around the NFL is supporting what the iggles did
