Eagles Tank this week to hurt Giants?

[Legendz82]

Tanking, it’s an ugly word, in football
It’s never never the smart move. It will come back to haunt you.
The media has turned into a joke.

It’s much more likely that the Eagles rest players for the playoffs due to their bye week being all the way back in week 5. Calling it tanking is just spin to get people enraged IMO.

Don't the Eagles still have a shot at the #1 seed?

5% shot by the numbers.

If we start Pickett, then that becomes very possible. Dude is not good

I would bet Hurts plays. Too much is on the line for Philly. Then again, they could rest him and beat the Giants next week to win the division. The Giants are clearly tanking as hard as any team in the league.

2013 was pretty bad. Chiefs took Eric Fischer first overall.

The rest of it stunk as well. Travis Frederick may have been the best player in that whole draft.

This is why you’ve gotta at least try in free agency if you expect to get better.

Deandre Hopkins, Keenan Allen, Kelce, Leveon Bell, Lane Johnson, Ertz. There was some talent to be had.

Yes true. I wasn’t clear about it but I basically meant the guys projected to go at the very top, inspired by the comment “it’s a bad year to be bad,” and the whole concept of tanking.

This year, there will be those mid round gems per usual, but as of now it doesn’t much seem as if there’s going to be a whole lot of difference between picking 6-8 vs 12-15.

Getting further upset by “ruining draft position” seems a little futile this time.

Well I wouldn't blame the eagles for playing 2nd+ stringers and letting veterans sit.

oh for sure. it was a weird draft and most of the high end talent came at odd points. i'm with ya

Aren't they in play for the one seed though? Or does it not matter due to tiebreakers?

I honestly don't know but the eagles,.Vikings, and lions are all within one game of each other

I think it’s a long shot
