Are you prepared to accept the #2 scenario? I'm not, hence the desire to wait until he is fully healthy.

We did not trade draft picks for a 4 time pro bowler at a position of weakness for him to sit on the bench, especially in a huge divisional game with the top 2 teams. If he has a minimal chance of reggravating the injury and he's cleared play him. Rewatch last years Commanders and Eagles last year in Philly if you feel differently.

I dont see us winning this game. Our defensive secondary, particularly CB is not much better than last year when we got slaughtered. However, not sure the end result will be as embarrassing. The truth is, the eagles have better players across the board. They are a better team. Remember preseason win estimates? There is a reason for that. We are still overperforming, Philly is not. Of course any given
Sunday. And now they have Barkley too, sheesh. They are a Superbowl contender, we are hoping to have a winning record, and now a playoff birth. We are WAY ahead of schedule win or lose. Frankly, I just want to beat Dallas. That is my true joy!

I dont think it makes sense to play brob or lattimore on 4 days with a 10 day break with nagging injuries that could last the rest if the season. We just have to do the best we can. I am also worried about our pushing our OT injuries. I say, do so crazy crap with our backups and see if we can pull off a short week, short handed upset. I actually think the eagles should be favored by 10 in our current scenario

I'm into upsets - never say never, just watched JD's hail mary for about the 20th time, with the biggest grin my wife says, however it looks to me that we're too stretched by injuries for this one & will likely get exposed. I so hope to be wrong & we get the upset win..... head vs heart

In the last 5 weeks the Iggles have squeaked out two wins vs the Browns and Jaguars. Anyone who thinks we have no chance is crazy.

Exactly. Philly has the hype that Dallas has lost with their collapse. Our team has gone toe to toe with Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Philly had a mild spasm after a close loss to the Browns. When we punch them in the face they won't step into it, they will play the blame game. We are the better TEAM, and if Lattimore can go, we have the better players too. As to the comment about preseason rankings, most people didn't fathom what a complete and functional overhaul our front office made, and they also dismiss the underlying issues that Philly has around their (team?).

If we don't win by a touchdown, I will be shocked.

One other thing I believe is true, is JD5 steps up in the lights and we are going to see the team reminiscent of the Cincy game.

If we lose, we’re still 7-4 and the schedule is still favorable to at least 10-7 at worst and that should get us a playoff berth.

We will hopefully get healthy. Would love to win but not concerned if we lose. I am just hoping we do not get many injuries.

[Meks]

I hate them and hope we win. I really hope fucking destroy them... but we're just not there yet as a team and especially not on defense

[calia]

I think the coaching staff simply needs to decide whether Lattimore, BRob, Wylie, and Lucas play based on what the medical staff says. If they're cleared, play them. If not, don't. They just need some clarity from the medical staff. I'd love to see all of them (or at least some of them) play because I think without Lattimore and at least one of Wylie or Lucas, we're in trouble between their D-line and WRs. BRob would be great too, but I actually think he's less important than keeping AJ Brown and D. Smith from torching us deep, and keeping JD5 from getting killed. As we saw last week, KK can scheme around the loss of our RT with chips, sliding over help, quick throws, etc., but it does limit our offense and we have now just previewed what that looks like to Philly care of Sunday's game.

Winning this game would be more satisfying than any win so far this season, to me, at least, as I think Philly is the class of our division until we prove otherwise. And you know if we beat them at home, the Sirianni v. team banter will come up again, as it has already this season. My real fantasy is that we blow them out at home and then the fans turn on Sirianni (again) and it becomes a cluster. But perhaps too much to ask for when our team is banged up and playing on a short week (and after having a much stiffer contest on Sunday than Philly did).

One last thing -- i really hope that Philly doesn't do the tush push again. I hate that play with the intensity of a thousand suns. Weak ass shit isn't real football to me.

If a player can agrevate an injury and be out for a month it would be stupid to play him, and they are not stupid.

I'm not feeling this one. We are beat up and not playing our best. Sure the Eagles are beating bad teams but they are more talented and their best players (WR) go against our weakness. People counted the Eagles out too soon, this one could get ugly.

Not looking promising on Lattimore:

We have a ten day break and a bye week in that month, this game Thursday has division and playoff implications. If Lattimore even plays 30 snaps our chances of winning are increased immensely. If it tighens then sit him down, but our rookie qb is playing with bruised ribs (or something), our OLine has tons of bumps and bruises. It's week 11, injuries can happen to any player.

edit: in addition to the mini bye, and bye weeks our next two opponents are dallas and tennessee, we really have 38 days after this Thursday before we play the Eagles again. If players do need a month to get healthy we have that.

[AnonEmouse]

Begrudgingly I agree with those saying better to rest injured starters for Thursday. Take teh 10 days and get healthy, if we still beat the Eagles wonderful, but better to beat everyone else then beat them in teh next game than lose someone like Lattimore or BRob for an extended period. We have to have one eye on the playoffs now. Don't want to get there and have little or no hope in the 1st round.

[CRedskinsRule]

for those saying to hold players out - I just want to clarify, are you saying to hold them out even if the medical staff clears them to play?
