Iggles get a bye week?

[crazytown41]

So if we win sunday afternoon then the Iggles can rest their starters Sunday night and basically get a bye week to prepare for the big showdown in week 17?

No, playoff seeding would still be on the line.

Kelly said their players will start and play. I don't think he gives them any thought of rest.

They may start but I don't them playing very long. If we win I can't see him risky McCoy, Foles or Jackson who often get hurt when there would be nothing to play for.

just like we had two years in a row and then had to go on the road.

I could not care less.

Or could I?

Any perceived off week for the Eagles is due to Cowboys not taking care of business

We had a bye week in 2007 before playing the Giants. How that work out?

I don't think the Eagles will be spotted in Cabo.

No. Playoff seeding would be on the line. Kelly already said they are preparing regardless of what we do.

If they beat Chicago and then us, they would likely be the #3 seed rather than the #4. That is significant because it looks like Chicago will win the NFC North and they have wins over GB and DET.

However, if we win and the game gets out of hand for them (reasonable expectation), they probably pull the starters and basically take a loss knowing it won't matter.

Always.


Besides like Ray Ray says, you get in the dance it's wide open, whoever the better team is on that day for 60 minutes wins.

Jersey shore instead. Maybe Foles hookup with Snooky and catch something that affects his game.

Could be difference between an extra home game or not. Stupid to rest

Thats too bad..............Opie should have though about that when he was playing Madden Sunday afternoon.

Or, play your "A game" against a team you might see in the playoffs, or hold something back just in case? Lots of factors at play in this game.

 

[Lazyking]

I could actually us losing and the Eagles losing again. I don't think they'll be able to handle the Bears offense.

It really sucks we couldn't hold a 23 point lead.. Could have had a bye week on week 17 if we did..

Lol. Yeah, like some crabs haha

Of course Kelly is going to play to win that game. More victories equals more money when he signs with UT.

Oh I can't wait too see the looks on the faces of all those idiot fans when their coach abandons them. Priceless.

He won't go anywhere near UT, the program at UT is headed down the same road that Nebraska went.
