Watching this team every Sunday is like going to job you hate. I'll reassess after Nick is shown the door.

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... agreed mostly. Innovate and test during this game that doesn't matter. Covey, Calc - give them a lot of snaps. Run a lot, use a wide variety of players, trying to identify a big back who can carry the ball in the 4th Q. Generally rest starters, but maybe AJ Brown would like to be that big back in the 4th Q. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so they are going on the road probably to Tampa but maybe to NO. And they know they can beat either of those opponents (they could also lose to be fair). So get rested and get ready. Win one play off game and who knows. agreed. they should win against the South - be rested. And they could win the Super Bowl. They got to the Super Bowl last year, so, they could again, and if they're there, they can win. They're 11-5 right now, a team that went to the Super Bowl last year. Not a team that hasn't been to the playoffs in years, or got blown out in one playoff game. They almost won the Super Bowl last year. With a lot of the same players, they could just do that again. It's quite plausible. This losing streak is decreasing the likelihood of winning it all, but there's still a pretty decent chance. The Eagles have beaten the Cowboys, should beat the South team, and the 9ers have sucked at times. And the Eagles are holding players like Covey in reserve. You'd want to use your leading punt returner on offense more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devaster Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 No point resting players when they continue to struggle to put things together on the field. That isn't going to get better with rest. And at least the game has meaning right now. Unless Dallas blows out Washington in the 1st quarter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pisceschica Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 This weekend I don't think I will watch any NFC games I will watch baltimore so I don't get any updates on eagles/giants or boys/commandos. I dont think I will watch their wc game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacesOut Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Do you play the starters, get a win and some confidence? Or, do you not play them and give them some rest? I would play them. But, I would scoreboard watch the Cowboys game. If the Boys get up big in the 2nd half, then I pull the Eagles starters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is completely the correct approach and what the Eagles should do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF THE WIN, and that's a big if, they're not going to get confidence beating a bad giants team. And if they get beat, it just underscores the mess that they are. I would rest the starters,,,,,,there is no f------ way the commies make a game of it against the cowpies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxeaglesfanxx Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 First game in awhile where I really don’t care what happens. Even if they it means nothing. Maybe it gives confidence but I highly doubt it. They likely suffer the same fate next week regardless of what happens today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleTen Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 One of the advantages of playing our starters is, it forces Dallas to play their starters too... The Cowgirls can't afford for us to win and them lose, so playing our starters will ensure they don't rest theirs, and they are travelling further, and it might hopefully have a negative impact on them next week in the playoffs... I would 100% play our starters... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t get excited for it because I just do not see this team coming out fighting. And with Dallas likely to win it feels mostly pointless.

MF POON Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I'd seriously want the 5 seed. Chances are you're playing the Bucs, and their offense is horrid. If the defense can't stop them, they have no business advancing 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no sense is getting the 2 seed and facing a tougher opponent you're prob going to lose to. I'd rather face the Bucs and maybe you'll get lucky with upsets and have better match ups on the path to a SB return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just prefer getting an easy win vs the Bucs and then u hope that instills confidence and we get it together vs whoever we face in the divisional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
