Twitter: Eagles may rest players

[StarBoyz83]

I’m not sure our starters can beat their backups if we don’t show up to play. Gardner Minshew is one of the better backup QBs in the league.

I wish he was our backup tbh

There’s some that wish he was our starter. lol

 

[Captain-Crash]

looks like an easy win for the eagles. they can play a third of their players and beat the dakboys.

"the dak boyzzz. hoter than the hot boyzz"

 

[Captain-Crash]

Minshew > Prescott

who isn't >dak ?

 

[bigE79]

Minshew > Prescott

At this point,I take Cedric Wilson > dakky.

If the Eagles rest guys then we know they managed better.

 

[NotForLong]

If they do rest their players and we play our players and we lose that will be the ultimate embarrassment.

But the mob will make a killing

Cowboys should rest everyone too. We get a free bye week...use it! Let the backups duke it out for potential seeding but it's really pointless to use this game for the starters to "get reps" when you've had the last month to do so. And so what if our starters end up beating up on their backups, we saw how little that carried over from Washington to Arizona.

yeah I agree, and if the eagles are not trying to win, then how is cowboys winning going to mean anything?
MM says its full go they need to work out the kinks, but that is meaningless against the philly bkups.
A change in seeding for either team could result in playing a tougher team, as well as a weaker team.

So I think I would start Rush, Pollard,cedrik, Steele over tyron,and some other players that dont get much play normally.

They saw that a few back ups of the Cardinals beat us so they figure why not.

Dak will play.. Reminds me of the giants game that year. They rested everyone but Dak went out and beat the giants up using the middle of the field and the TE. May have been Jarwin he used. Was something he needed practice on at the time..

I wasn't talking about the Cowboys, I was actually responding to a comment that said the Eagles were waiving the white flag and should be ashamed of themselves for sitting players. I expect the Cowboys will play people and try to win. I may be wrong, but I think there is a chance they could still get #2 seed if Rams and Bucs lose

 

[KJJ]

If they rest their starters we’ll be taking a real gamble playing ours. First of all we’ll be in a virtual no-win situation because the odds on improving our seeding will be slim. Philly’s game plan will be to injure our starters. They’ll be out there taking cheap shots.

Yeah I don’t know at this point because they sure didn’t play like they wanted to win Sunday. Had starters on the field but played like 3rd string players that didn’t care.. Played like that and ended up with Gallup done for the year..

 

[droopdog7]

I would rest as many players as I possibly could.

 

[IslandCowboy]

Ughh here we go, Eagles sit players we win big, everyone on here thinks we are so amazing and going to win the Superbowl and then act surprised when we get woooped by a real team in the playoffs and go nowhere.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

From "Beat Dallas" to waiving the white flag.

Nick Sirianni is a coward and the city of Philadelphia should be ashamed.

If the Cowboys go out with everyone, Dak hurts his ankle, Zach Martin gets a concussion, Micah pulls a hanstring, Tank Lawrence fractures a rib and the playoff game is shot….

it was all worth it because of some misaligned pride? Playing starters in this game for either team isn’t a smart idea, unless you don’t value them much over their backups

at this point you have to wonder ...

 

[RonnieT24]

The league flexed the game to Saturday trying to avoid this.. Frankly I don't care what the Eagles do.. when the Cowboys take the field the #2 seed will still be on the table.. They need to play accordingly.. If you're worried about getting hurt then go play tennis.. Football players play football..

 

[sandbridge77]

The real question is, are you bringing your own benches?

 

[slick325]

File this under "Duh". Neither team will be playing any players they need next week foe long.

 

[Daillest88]

I’d rest Dak,Zeke,Tyron, parsons , Lawrence, Diggs, Martin, Gregory. That’s about it
