Arsenal79 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 The defense is beyond worn down. Only chance is to give them a week off to recharge before the playoffs. Play all backups next Sunday and rest up for the wild card game. Time's yours... 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LacesOut Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 They were 10-1. They lose next week, they finish 11-7. So, IMO, rest will NOT help them. Only an infusion of Defensive talent, and better Offensive play calling, will help this team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdman Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 This team is cooked. I will not be watching next weekend or the playoffs for that matter. Watching this team every Sunday is like going to job you hate. I'll reassess after Nick is shown the door. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MF POON Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I'd honestly concede the division and take the 5 seed due to match ups. Take 2 weeks to change things up on both sides, and give the starters rest. If the analytics is really getting in the way when it comes to gameplanning, I'd do whatever I want if I'm Nick from here on out, and if it cost me my job, so be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly the 5 seed is probably better than the 2 which would mean playing Seattle who they never beat. Of course the way they are playing they are going to have a hard time with any opponent.

VaBeach_Eagle Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Unless Washington beats Dallass, Eagles-Giants is meaningless. Win or lose, we'd be the 5 seed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opa-opa Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Im starting to lean strongly in this direction as well. This team has not felt "right" since the Bills game. That game took so much out of the defense they have not yet recovered and are still catching their breaths. If we dont give the defense some rest we wont beat the Giants anyway and will definitely be one and done. So its all a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the NFL tries to make as many games meaningful as possible. They would never put the Dallas game on at 1 and the Philly game on at 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTANK Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 i’m not giving up on them. i’m gonna back them all the way til the bitter end. all those veterans, some who may be in their final season, have earned my respect. we can deal with the coaches in the off season, but for now, i’m all in. i am not a crack pot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Philly Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I agree with resting the starters in a meaningless game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 It’s a really tricky one. Dallas could lose on the road to Washington. They probably don’t but you have to be ready for that. And this team needs to get things going and a win could give them a little bit of a feel good factor going in to the play offs? But then if you play the starters and they lose again? I mean that’s absolutely season over (and I already think it is). Maybe a week off can help this team get right? Rest up and get ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We absolutely do not rest the starters as the division is still on the line. Yes it’s likely that the Cowboys beat the Commanders easily. But let’s not forget the Cowboys are 3-5 on the road and have lost to the Cardinals. They are capable of blowing this game. We do not rest our starters until either game is out of hand. Plain and simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is this team looks broken and tired and I’m not even sure the starters can beat NY right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
