Week 17 NFC EAST Championship Game Day Thread

Gonna' piss me off if the Eagles, YET AGAIN, get major draft capital for a QB. They did that shit to us for McNabb and they did it for Foles.

Yeah but if they move him, they are going to take a HUGE cap hit. Unless they throw in a draft pick and negotiate for the new team to absorb some of the contract money.

Dont forget they did it with Sam Bradford too.

Wonder what all these talking heads would be saying about keeping Hurts in if he’d have slipped and torn his ACL in the fourth quarter after it really started raining....

Probably something along the lines of - that's unfortunate and part of the game.

No it would be “why was your starting QB for next year playing in bad conditions in a meaningless game”. It’s easy to second guess or criticize any decision made when you aren’t responsible for it.

And if Sudfeld led them to a W people would be calling Pederson a genius today. Honestly I could care less about all this drama. We won, game over. On to Tampa.

I'm pretty sure if the Eagles were playing either the Cowboys or Giants last night, and it was Washington depending on the win, what the Eagles did would not have been a big deal or not widely discussed.

and they would not have been mentioning us nearly as often as they did the Giants. Man the booth was awful last night. ( I hate the SNF booth)

Pulling on Hurts was ... odd.

Eagles had 2 QB questions. Big one - do they fully commit to 2nd round rookie Jalen Hurts in 2021? Do they continue to carry FA Sudfeld as their QB3 on their active roster as they have for a few years now?

I think they Eagles saw enough to answer "yes" to question 1 - they are committing to Hurts. So why not get a last look at Sudfeld. Whose poor play makes his decision easy.

Theyve answered the 2 QB questions and secured the no. 6 overall pick .. a Jamaar Chse or D Smith or Sewell or Parsons etc
-------------

4th and goal decision - no problem with that. Hurts completes that and its brilliant.

This is hands down the most blatant hold I’ve ever seen. Dude was trying to reenact the titanic scene. Luckily this wasn’t a TD for philly.

Tampa will be without LB Devin White for the Wild Card game against Washington but the news sounds good for WR Mike Evans. MRI reveals no structural damage, per @JayGlazer
, and Evans seems on track to play Saturday night

^^ Devin White is cleared of covid protocol on Sunday .. game is Saturday. Hes the Bucs leading tackler, big blow.

Refs did everything they could to help the Giants last night. If the game had been called on the level, we win in a blow out. Blatant uncalled holding fouls by the Philly OL all night long. Not one single call. Not one. The first Eagles TD drive was a travesty. We stopped them three or four times, only to have bogus penalties called to extend the drive. The one pass interference call at the sideline on third and long was outright criminal. The only penalties called on Philly all night were 2 or 3 obvious off-sides, one obvious block in the back, and a holding on a punt play where the Eagle tackled our wide man right off the snap. Even on that punt play, since the obvious penalty occurred pre-kick, it could have, and probably should have, been called defensive holding, giving us a first down. The player is an eligible receiver until the ball is kicked. That is why you will often hear the ref say "after the kick" or "before the kick" when announcing penalties, because before the kick it is a defensive foul and after the kick it is a return team foul.

He literally lifted Settle off of the ground. That said, Settle needs to be flailing his arms to get the attention of the refs.
