All of that could be true, but you still have to try to win the game even while keeping players with iffy health out to simultaneously prepare for the playoffs. It’s not an either/or thing. He tried to thread the needle, but it failed. This team really needed to play well this week as well. Resting with how we’re playing is frankly pretty meaningless. 

As far as vibes, momentum, intangibles, whatever you want to call it they’re somehow worse off now than they were after last week. They came out trying to win this game today, got punked, had some injuries, and were forced to run off with their tail tucked between their legs. 
 

Today couldn’t have gone any worse. The locker room is cooked. If this was a college team with a bowl game next week, half the team would sit out. The players are ready for the offseason and vacation. They want no part of playing in a playoff game next week.

He didn't "have to" try anything with a minimal chance of Dallas losing, and playing on the worst turf in the league.  Today was a total disaster with the team getting wiped out, numerous key guys getting hurt, and Dallas won a blowout anyway.

He should have committed one way or the other.  Trying to "thread the needle" was the worst of all worlds.

Not a single player on this team deserved to sit and rest.  Kelce was playing…so this notion that Cox was the recipient of some favoritism is bull ish.

Our QB can’t use the middle of the field.

Mariota moved the ball better with Oz and Quez as his top targets and Mariota sucks.

Maybe QB1 isn't seeing things clearly.  Maybe this is what AJ is upset about all the time.

Is there ANYONE on here who would be upset if Howie got rid of Nick, Johnson and Desai/Patricia?

There’s always the off chance Tampa wants to lose worse than us so they can go on vacation 

The Eagles are better than the Bucs.   The Eagles should win.

The Eagles discovered they were not as good as the 9ers on December 3,  and they haven't been the same since. 

Perhaps they completely stopped preparing to win against any other team besides the 9ers?

The Eagles didn't need to win any games after they lost to the 9ers.

They DID need to get good enough, prepared enough, ready enough to beat the 9ers in the playoffs.   The Eagles should beat the Bucs. And the Eagles should be playing the 9ers the week after, unless there's a upset.

There's no earthly way kelce doesn't retire after this dumpster fire. That's the worst part of it.

The Hawks and Cards games lost the Division and #1 Seed.   Amazing start but obviously not the best finish.   Again playoffs are 0-0.  Take care of business in Tampa.

People around here have been saying that for MONTHS.

AJ single handedly dumping on teams really hid a lot of deficiencies for the first half of the season. Having six 125+ yard games in a row to then only having one 100 yard game between AJ, Devonta and Goedert for the remainder of the season is pretty much criminally negligent on the offensive coaching.

Also Swift didn't have a 100 yard game since week 3.

They can get rid of all of them tonight for all I care

Cox wasn’t on the injury report at the end of the week. He was healthy. They basically sat him for what purpose? It wasn’t cause he was on the injury report. So again it’s BS if I’m a player knowing I’m putting my health on the line and we are resting guys who give us the best chance to win

Is that a pink slip in Lurie's hand?

Lurie should sell the team.

Go back to making movies because Hollywood is the moral compass for the rest of us.

We are lost Jeff.

Remind us how to think and feel.

Pass the foo king torch already.

Go back to your club.

Oh, the Eagles could win in the playoffs and Kelce could back.

Anybody guess what day and time the Tampa game would be @Wallyhorse

Our roster (offense) is going to be very enticing to coaching candidates at least

There has to be quality people available to replace them with. I don't think Harbaugh will be available for long and he will want to bring in his own staff. Chargers already have a time advantage with Harbaugh.

Oh and just to say:

I said this was going to happen multiple months ago and many didn't want to listen.

He wasn’t on the injury report on Friday. You tell me what he was he out with where he couldn’t play? I’d bet anything slay was kept out cause he had the knee surgery and they didn’t want his first game back on that crap turf.

Totally dude. Who needs the 1 seed or a home playoff game! LFG!

The eagles didn't get shut out right?
