I don't think the Bears or 49ers are beating the Vikings or Lions. Looking like 2nd seed is inevitable 

Probably but Eagles still will have to play starters Week 18 and scoreboard watch. 

The annoying thing about the Fields roughing call is that it was a designed QB run. He was not a QB at any point of that play after the snap, he was a runner. He shouldn't be protected like a QB if they're going to use him like a RB.

On top of that, Blankenship literally stopped where he was and fields slid into him. This is the difference with Lawrence hit. That A hole launched forearm first at Lawrence's head. Reed could've done the same, but he isn't a POS so he didn't

Worst-case scenario. 

How many more yards does Odunze need now?

 

Swift is robbed of a rushing TD by a stupid procedural penalty

@FranklinFldEBUpper  you see that fake punt by the Texans yesterday? Probably the best fake kick play design I've ever seen.

Being a full-time Bears fan has to be awful because these two games this season rooting for them have been dreadful.

Those officials really like their TV time

Yep I just don’t see anyway around it unless Eagles drop a game against Washington or Dallas which seems unlikely. I guess Washington has a punchers chance. Only other way is if Lions and Vikings both lose their next two. Any way you slice it, it seems like it’s going to be a game to lock in the #1 seed or play for a win and hope for some help. 

Game finally had a chance to get interesting. Refs stomped that one right out with a ticky tacky procedural penalty. Zzzzzzzzz

Not yet. Don’t know anything about it. Going to Eagles games can sometimes lead to not really knowing what goes on in the other games around the league.

That was far from ticky tacky.

This Interim guy might as well resign. Lineman had no idea he had to report?

If both the Lions and Vikings head into week 18 without a loss, we can bench our starters, because they both would hold tie breakers against us.

Yup. 100% the right call. Just a dumb move by the Bears.

I still don't think the Eagles need to play the starters against the Giants to win, that team is basically a college level team

Who would have guessed a guy who cried on mommy after a loss on national TV wouldn't make it

Sure but they would never do that if the #1 seed is in play.

True. I guess that’s the one most likeliest path.

I thought it didn’t matter if they reported as eligible unless they were involved in a pass play. Oh well

Yeah but what if they tie? We’d end up with a better record than both if we win out.

I’m dead serious, by the way.

GG - well not really.

This throw yesterday by Allen is beautiful 

 

 

Swift without the Eagles OL looks very average.

Odds of that are probably too low to risk injury. We are talking like probably less than a 1% chance. You have a better chance of beating the Giants with the 2nd stringers than the Lions and Vikings ending up with a tie in their game.
