Oh fans want to tank all the time because they’re ignorant. Just go back and read this forum after we were 2-7.
Is it also ignorant when you post something about an other NFL team in the main Cowboys section when there's clearly a spot for this?

The organization obviously told Pederson to tank that game. Pulling Hurts in the 2nd half and then trying to explain it away that they want to get a look at the young QB. Well what the hell is Hurts? Hurts was pissed as you could see him on the sidelines saying, “this is just wrong”. The rest of the players I’m sure felt the same way. The team was told to tank so that they could get a higher draft pick. Sure they have a higher draft pick but it has cost them the locker room. The players are going to be pissed and it’s going to cause problems for the team going into next season. This is why you don’t tank. The Eagles FO has blown it big time again.


why the commotion? so what about pittsburgh sitting 40% of their starters in game where the browns needed win to get in which cost another team chance at the playoffs? they habded pas to the browns who barely beat Pbs backup team..hows that different??

happens every year where 1-2 teams sit players week 17 and gives another team an easy win which sometimes leads to playoff berth,,

the browns did not earn their berth while MIA had to play Bills full Playoff team , thats fair?

it happens stop all the crying..Pederson allowed to give huis backup some work and some minutes in the final game, they do it in HS and Collège to get players snaps who havent seen the field. Ever see Rudy? its actually true life i played sports they did this to get seniors letters etc ..

they didnt tank per sey they decided to play more players and well lost because of it..

do we not remember when we were upset the DC played starters when nth eagles didnt and won what 9-6 week 17 and lost draft stock and said Dak should have not played etc etc

whats the difference? a lot of fans here wanted us to play nooch the last 6 games to tank.we didnt now one quarter the eagles pull hurts and play sudfeld and all heck breaks loose..

this is pretty standard week 17 antics..

I'm always impressed by the number of mind readers I see on message boards. Personally, I'd find more productive ways to use that talent.

So let me get this straight: the plan was to take a lead in the second half, to make it look good, let the WFT score (but make them run several plays to do it), then have Hurts fail on 4th and goal. Then in the 4th quarter of a meaningless game (Giants are not your problem), put the in back up QB to complete the tank...just make it look good first.

If the Eagles were good enough to manipulate games that way they would've won more than 4 of them. :muttley:
Hurts had the best chance of winning that game as he had already run for 2 td's and was running all over the place. He's pissed and so are the rest of the team. Kelce has yet to speak publicly because he's so upset. They know the tank was ordered. You attacked me for being a mind reader yet you just did the same thing.

That's not tanking, that's getting ready for the playoffs. And you know it.

LMAO! People are calling it a tank, because the coach benched a QB who was completing 35% of his passes 7-20 with 72 yards passing! The debate should be, why wasn't he benched sooner.

What's funny to me is how much love Hurts is getting right now and how much hate Tua is getting.

There is going to be some shocked people this time next year I guess. Not I.

they both have potential and will develop. I wanted hurts in the 3rd/4th round last year as daks backup/ future replacement and he was taken a bit earl IMHO..i think he will be solid starter

not every players come our of college ready to play..

What are you the forum mod wannabe?
Nope not at all. Nor do I want it. I just find it curious that you tend to take the, "holier than thou" stance in most cases yet clearly understand where this goes but you put it here anyway. You look down on fans who don't fan like you do as an example. However, a narcissist such as yourself wouldn't understand this anyway so carry on...

Just imagine the uproar if dallas had beat the giants, and then phil loses like that lol.
people I know would have said phil hates dallas, but now I guess they hate the giants ?

I think phil probably did tank, or not want to win, there is a big difference between 6 and 9, that is in all 7 rounds.
The Nfl should address this to try to discourage teams from losing on purpose just for better draft spot.
The reason is it isnt fair to tv fans, networks, or if any fans are at the game , really not fair to them.

this isnt the same as a team not playing starters, because they have a playoff game the next week.
With that as long as it is stated in advance, then everyone knows they may not win due to this.

Wrong, they played backups to rest their key players. BIG difference.

Why is that? Because your QB evaluations are so spot on and 100 percent accurate? News flash friend. You wanted to trade the farm for Tua last season. Hes hot GARBAGE. He looks bad at almost everything a QB is supposed to look good at. Id venture to say hes out of the league in 5 years.

Nobody is 100% accurate. Not even the supposed best who do it for a living who have way more access to players and film than I do.

Yeah. There is a difference friend.

They dont act like they are perfect and never make mistakes. I bet you they dont go into the owners office with your condescending tone and attitude. Stop comparing yourself to the best. You are a fan. Simple. You are not a GM, you are NOT A SCOUT. You are a FAN. Nothing more nothing less. Stop acting like you are some GM that knows more than everyone here. Its sickening.

And you're the one that cant admit when you're wrong. Its annoying. I dont have to ignore you. But i promise you I will call you out every single time you try and put down another poster on this site like you are the freaking GM of all GM's.
