Eagles players and coaches aren’t going to risk their jobs and careers to lose on purpose to hurt Dallas.

they may just lose because they stink though.

You're right. But being that they're out of the playoffs it wouldn't surprise me if they come out flat. The only motivation the Eagles have to win is to award the Cowboys the division. I think they're going to get stomped.

We will probably win next week, Washington will win to spite us and we will probably draft 18th. Worst case scenario. No playoffs and the worst possible non playoff slot draft pick.

Please keep in mind, that if the Eagles lose next week at home, Washington would then win the championship in their house and celebrate on their field.

That to me is motivation enough, far more than wanting to spite another team in the division.

You also have Hurts playing for his job. After today's performance, he opened the door a little more for Wentz to get back in. They will be playing hard.

I don't see that.....I agree they may be a bit flat as a lot of teams for their final game but seriously they'll worry/care about the Cowboys.

Philly did it in 2005. Dallas needed them to beat Washington in the season finale and they would not.

It's happened before. The 49ers threw a game to spite the Giants several decades ago.

Haskins got benched today. Taylor Somebody led WFT to their only TD.
And actually looked good doing it, WFT fans were pissed at the coaching staff for not benching Trashkins in the 2nd quarter.

Here is the thing....no matter what the Eagles do, it is gonna give someone in the NFC the division crown. Who do they hate the most? The one thing for the Eagles to watch is who the QB is. Since they have a budding controversy, expect whoever the QB is to be playing balls out for the job next year.

This team could just as easily lose to the giants
It wouldn't shock me since the one thing people seem to forget is that the defense is still giving up a bunch of yards. Hurts looked unstoppable in the first half, and not surprising it was his own coach who screwed the offense up. I don't see the Giants beating the Cowboys though since Jones can't hold onto the football to save his life.

Eagles will beat the Football Team and the Giants will beat the Cowboys.

I feel we finish 7-9 with wash. And we miss out

Meh, it's win win. If we miss out, our draft pick goes UP...if we win and get in, we are going into the playoffs HOT and the record is 0-0... the damage is already done as far as not having a top 5 pick.
