We need to focus on winning the game period! We’ve coughed up two big leads already this season. The Cowboys still have an outside chance to win the division. If we start pulling players the game could get away from us. This is still an important game that we need to win to keep our division chances alive, and to build momentum for the playoffs.

Honestly we're likely locked in to our seed....do you really think the giants are going to lose this week and have to play their starters against the eagles next week?

We should go hard until it's not needed then go into run hard mode and make sure we get out healthy

well it should be that easy, right. I mean, all those guys that will play have likely ever played football before..... the titans just went to the local park and asked some guys if they would be interested in playing some football........ kind of like Burt Reynolds going around the prison yard asking inmates if they wanted to play.

The titans have zero to play for and will be holding out a lot of players so yes our first string vs their 2nds should be a huge mismatch.

Jax wasn't playing their 2nd teamers

I think that there is a decent chance that the Eagles lose to the Saints.

The odds are real slim we’re going to win out and the Eagles are going to lose out but we still have to play to win until the division is officially wrapped up. It’s also important that we build some momentum for the playoffs. The Cowboys have a tendency to come back flat after a big win. We need to start playing some consistent football.

Agree and I think that can be accomplished and we can get a few guys off the field afterwards...but yes consistentcy and 3 to 4 big td drives then let's evaluate options...that's all I'm saying

Well I respectfully disagree but strongly applaud your optimism
The Eagles have issues at right tackle, qb, and secondary. The Saints have allowed 18 or less points in 4 consecutive games. I think that it will be tough and tight and there is a high amount of pressure on the Eagles.

Just imagine if we didn’t blow a 17 point 2nd half lead to the Jaguars. How nice this would be settling up for us to take the division and possibly the #1 seed. :banghead:
Don’t see the saints beating Philly. New York likely rest the last week as they are locked into the 6

All fair points, but a win there could vault their 1st round pick from the saints up close to 10 spots theoretically if the saints were eliminated from the nfcs race....the eagles will be very motivated

The Eagles and the Saints are motivated. I guarantee you that all of the coaches are motivated on both sides and the Eagles are very nervous.

I am on #TeamRest and this would have been the perfect week to sit a lot of starters. Especially since they could then play some next week at Washington to avoid getting rusty. But either way, it looks like they will continue to play their starters a ton of snaps both weeks :(

And if they were to play their backups, it doesn't automatically mean they'd lose. You can argue that the team morale and "momentum" would be even greater if the backups went out there and got a win (even against the Titans backups too).

If you had to wager a moderate sum of money who would you take?

Look I get what you are saying but I'd wager 8 to 9 times put of 10 that the eagles would win right now
