Oh come now, you didn't really believe that, did you? Sudfeld? Really?

He tanked.

That’s just Risen’s patented “who me?” Semi-troll posts. Sometimes he’s more subtle and others less so, but generally, when he posts, it’s just some chum in the water

it’s his bit

Yea I read where he and Roseman are turning on each other and Lurie doesn't know who to believe.

I'm guessing Lurie would rather keep both to clean up the mess and fire them after next season. Neither job is very attractive job right now.......

The Eagles have a few years of rebuilding but the job is attractive. Lurie is a fairly hands-off owner for the most part and that will attract people on that alone.

He should be fired for the crap he pulled against the Commanders. I have no love for the Giants but he messed with the integrity of the game. The last few weeks of the season, both the Jets and Jags were playing to win without having secured the number #1 pick and this embarrassment of franchise would pull that crap on national TV.

I disagree. It wasn’t integrity of the game he messed with. Popovich in the NBA often rests starters mid and late season to keep them fresh and avoid injury. Not really any different. Imagine if Hurts got a horrible knee injury in the second half of a meaningless game. One could argue it was a smart move. No one had a problem with the “suck for Luck” campaign in Indy back in the day. But now because it’s the NYGs that were affected now it’s an issue.
Additionally, the NFL doesn’t give one tiny iota of a crap about game integrity. If they did, they would pay and professionalize their officiating crews, fix a ton of horrible rules regarding issues like PI, protecting QBs, and catches. They would also be less arbitrary and random as far as discipline of players go. And finally, at least one of NEs trophies would be stripped for cheating and Tom Brady would’ve gotten a full season suspension with warning of a lifetime ban for another infraction.

Eagles are in cap hell. Their moment has passed for a few years. Washington and the Giants are now the teams to worry about

If that was the case then why start Hurts? It made no sense to play him for half the game. I question if it was a meaningless game to guys playing for roster spots and their livelihoods. Hurts was playing to cement his spot as the starting QB next season.

I agree about Tom Brady and the Patriots

Hurts def needs game reps. I don’t remember if they did this or not but if you start subbing OL, you def don’t want to leave your QB of the future out there in a meaningless game, likelihood of getting them hurt is high. Seems like they treated it about the same as a preseason game, got starters a half and change.

Finishing in last place in the weakest division in the NFL is an atrocious result.
Though having said that, lots of injuries this year, plus all the Covid and other problems.

He'll be back next year....
