An Eagles win today serves Dallas well

Here's hoping the Eagles finish it off today.

Dallas is tired, beaten up, and gasping. 18 days of rest for the key people would do wonders.

Imagine a fully fresh Micah, DLaw, Diggs, Hooker, Kearse, etc on defense! Imagine Zeke and Pollard with plenty of bounce, and the full key receiving corps fresh. Picture the offensive line healed and ready to mash.

On the flip side, it could also benefit Dallas if Philly has to wait 3 full weeks to play a meaningful game with us waiting for them. That is too much down time.

Hoping against hope to win the division and No. 1 seed is fool's gold. That was ruined in Jacksonville.

Let's get ready for Brady starting right now!!!
The best thing that could happen this week is Colts and Saints win. Giants will play Eagles next week with playoffs on the line. I’ll take a Panthers win over Tampa Bay just for giggles as well.

Dallas should whip Tampa, or they don't have any business in the playoffs. The layoff shouldn't matter.

However, 21 days before playing a dangerous team like Dallas is quite another matter.

Oh boy. This was the point at which you could have helped your credibility by admitting that you didn't think things through. Instead, you're floundering in an effort to salvage your position.

"The layoff shouldn't matter." So tell us again, then, why the team needs the 18 days?

I’d much rather have the opportunity to play at home throughout the playoffs.

Go Saints.

I'm more interested in the Bucs vs Panthers. It's about the Playoffs over here, bump the Eagles.

problem is we never do well coming off extended rest. I would have the team prepare as normal, but perhaps have them play a series or two and then pull them.

I would rest Micah. he will be fine and actually better off with the rest.

What a horrible mindset.

The ones saying "rest our guys" will be the first ones to whine when they come out looking terrible.

I hope they lose 500-0.

If you come out looking terrible, you were terrible.

Truly good teams benefit from rest. Pretenders don't.

The 1st game of the season after the preseason and game after the bye week should have answered that question for you then.

Yet here we are still with fans wanting to rest guys when it literally never works for us.

Not hoping for this in the least. I’ll let the day play out and see how that affects Dallas and what is best for them then but I’m cheering for a Philly win when it’s still mathematically possible to get the #1 seed. If a couple of games go a certain way, next week becomes immensely more intriguing. That’s what fans should be living for!

Yeah, I'd rather win the division and have a chance as the number one seed. Dallas played 3 games in 10 days in November and 3 games in 11 days again in December. I wonder if any other team has done that this year. I could be wrong.

One of the dumbest threads I’ve seen in awhile but you gave up after the 1st quarter in game 1.

People love to blame something. Rest is a throwaway excuse.
