Better for the eagles to win this weekend?

[droopdog7]

As we know, the team still has a chance for the #1 seed if some things go their way. Could also win the division and end up with the second seed. But either of those are a long shot.

Obviously we can rest our starters week 18 if the eagles put it away this weekend. There also is no bye if we win the division but end up in second. And I would guess some prefer the winner of the south no matter what.

So hopefully they just end it.

No

 

[Risen Star]

If you're not a man, yes.

I’m leaning towards yes. This team is banged up and could use 2.5 weeks off. Winning the East doesn’t necessarily get us the #1 seed anyway.

The resting going into the playoffs never has helped us in the last 27 years.

I am all for playing to win in Washington.

No but it does guarantee a home game.

If we sit the starters week 18 and lose to the Commanders then that eliminates the Packers. I guess that's the only way we can ever eliminate Rodgers from the play offs.

Even if the eagles lose this week, they will still be heavily favored to beat a giants team that very well could be resting starters. All signs point to this team needing to win 3 road games. We could really use the rest.

What I would really hate is for the eagles to lose this week and then we have to play before them on week 18.

True, but with the current team we have this may be the best squad we have to make a run.....huge problem is that half of this squad is banged up and can use the week off. And even those not hurt are likely playing through things, and the fact we played 3 games in 10 days is nuts

 

[Sydla]

No.

Can’t they play the games at the same time like the World Cup? I bet that is what happens.

 

[ShortRound]

So soft

 

[Hawkeye19]

Hell no. We want the division and the highest possible playoff seeding. The last thing this team needs to do is lay off the gas pedal and pretend they can “turn it on” whenever they want come January.

Grit, Guts, and Glory. Who wants it more? Champions are made now when the going is toughest

 

[viman96]

LOL wut?! Hell no. Birds need to lose and make week 18 matter.

It would be better if the Cowboys get the 1 or 2 spot, but the rest thing and the 5 spot is good too.

Hell will freeze over fifty feet thick and you’ll be able to ice skate over it in July before I hope that the Eagles win anything—especially a division title.

They need to pretend as if the playoffs start now. Resting is not a option.
