Time to sit and rest

[cmoney23]

It's official, IMO, it's time to rest.

The Eagles will probably make this decision not very controversial but even if they somehow lose this week. I am starting to think we sit everyone we can next week against Washington.

The odds of us getting the one seed are slim as it is.

And the injuries are mounting.

I say we sit everyone down and get ready for the playoffs.

no.
it has never worked when we've done that.
too much of a garrett move.

 

[JoeKing]

Hell no, we don't surrender the division to the Eagles, they have to earn it. And if the Vikings lose as well, we can still win the 1 seed and a first-round bye.

Assuming the eagles win, yes.

However if the eagles lose, you go all out week 18

If the division and possibly the #1 seed are in play then hell no. Play to get the bye week or a better seed.

Again, with this giving up the division to the egals BS!!! If they lose Sunday, you better not just lay down and give it to them by resting players against Washington!! Stop it already with this narrative!!! smdh

Nothing is official yet. If Philly were to lose on Sunday, we still have a chance at the NFC East title. If they win, then we could rest players in the season finale.

Didn’t work last year when we played either…

You make a good case, but as long as the # one seed is a possibility you go for it.
Its a big Carrot on the stick.

fair.
i'd rather they play than sit.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

They only should rest the starters if the Eagles beat the Saints on Sunday. But if the Eagles lose then they shouldn't just forfeit the division to them.

 

[TheCoolFan]

The debate will come to a rest after Sunday. Philly will win at home against the Saints. When it comes to resting though, it's not just about the game...it needs to be the entire week in practice!

 

[Daillest88]

Depends on who. Parsons, Lawrence , Martin, Diggs, kearse and Wilson I would definitely sit. Dak and pollard too.

Exactly!! Don't understand why people want to forfeit the division to those stinking birds. smdh

 

[catiii]

Play. Bash them in the throat. Hit them in the mouth. Put the playoff teams on notice we'll kick their arses too. The Garrett way doesn't work.

 

[nightrain]

Healthy and rotational guys should play the last game. Anyone with a recent injury like Parsons, DLaw, Martin, Zeke, Kearse. etc. should be given the day off. Dak should not play more than a few series.

 

[droopdog7]

I mean, it's never worked either way, as I am sure there have been times when we played and won the last week too.

 

[Carson]

You already know the league will put Dallas at noon and Philly at 3. So when they lose to the Saints we are forced to play.

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

If the Iggles win this week it won't matter, rest everyone Vs Washington.

 

[Mr_437]

I think they should rest some key guys who've been battling injuries all year. But, they need to try and win the game with the guys who are healthy.
