Good Win

[AmericanCowboy]

I wanted them to lose.

I take no pride in barely beating the eagles third stringers.

Lol! Respect your honesty. Sounds like an AA meeting! Lol

I won $325 on them giving 4.5 and the under of 41

At the end of the day, these are professionals with pride and families. You play to win. You play to beat your rivals.

We'd have a much better draft pick.

To appreciate that, one needs to forsake instant gratification and look ahead.
However, the instant gratification crowd had a bad day; Not only did we lose a better draft spot, we got embarrassed by inching out Philly's 2nd stringers with our starters by a whopping 6-0.

 

[Buzzbait]

And you're entitled to it.
But you wondered about the negativity and you asked why, and you were told why.
And again, for historical perspective,
the last meaningless win meant the difference between being in position to draft Wentz and not, so there's that.

That last sentence just about says it all Stash. Good point.
And Wentz's team is going to the playoffs and our guys are going to watch it at home.

Yes Wentz got hurt, but not till he got his team into the playoffs.

This was the furthest thing from a "good win". Itaccomplished nothing and only succeeded in hurting draft position and possibly keeping undeserving coaches employed.

Nothing "good" about today.

Well, at least Butler finally looked like a pro.

The video gamer type don't understand this! Great post!

Not to worry, look at what Philly did last year against the Dallas 2nd string, then rebound this year.

Is Wentz available next year?

 

[Ultra Warrior]

It was a Win. Good? Far from it.

We'd have a much better draft pick.

Much better???

Instant gratification feels great. Keeps you going for the next one. Try it sometime

 

[Aven8]

Yeah, but if it saves the Clapper & Co., it's all worth it, right?

If it does than what's really the point?

 

[Stash]

Nothing "good" about that.

 

[Stash]

Between this one and the Raiders game, I've never experienced two more worthless, undeserved "W's".

It's frustrating that this is what things have come to as a fan of this team.

 

[sbark]

As I watched the Wentz'less Iggles..........its amazing how a good QB & QB play can make a team a playoff contender.......amazing., especially when a defense of some top 10 level is on board.

 

[Ranching]

Yeah, maybe we should have lost to get a better draft pick and give some of you another reason to cry about picking the wrong guy. Like some of you need another reason to complain. If you would want to lose to the Eagles for ANY reason, then you do not have my respect as a fan. I'm sure you'll lose sleep over that! Lol!

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

If they were going to win it would have been nice if they at least looked good. Oh well. I'm having Egg Nog. 40 minutes to New Years.

 

[erod]

Much better???

When you're at 19 and the guy you want is at 15, it's a long way away.
