So because it’s on the road? Meh. I’d like a chance to return the favor.

Yes because it’s on the road in a playoff game in ice cold nasty weather Chicago. Against a Chicago team that has done well at home - like they did tonight.

Y’all have no idea how much homefield advantage matters in the playoffs - especially when you have an offense that has struggled lately. No offense to anyone but this is basic playoff football 101 - you want to be at home in the playoffs as much as possible - zero reason to rest the starters last week.

Bad decisions have consequences.

I hope I’m wrong but it rarely am when it comes to this team.

Bears seek to have a little mojo right now and that's amplified getting the game in their stadium, I don't have a great vibe

Go to sleep. All scared for nothing.

Hmmm Watching that Packers Bears game, if the Eagles have to go to Soldier field book it as a loss for the birds.

Sirianni and Patullo would be way out of their depth with their high school offense and constant 3 and outs.

Only way to win would be if somehow Defense can score around 14-21 points....

Not scared - highly disappointed with the decision making of resting the starters and not giving this team the best path forward.

This team and the players deserved better.

Lol for those scared of the Bears. Bottom line is who do you trust more? Caleb Williams or Jalen Hurts?

Our defense is going to embarrass these teams.

Our offense is capable on paper, with experience. It's up to Nick & KP to not F it up.

If the Eagles win tomorrow they will go to Chicago next week.

Patullo/Sirianni factor overrules any trust on players...

Big deal here! Bears won their Superbowl today and emptied the tank in an emotional win. Like our chances with this development. Left tackles was a problem for them before Trapilo came in.

@MrGreenBay you & your team suck

Resting the starters gave them a huge advantage though.

I have no idea how everyone around here seems to think we’ll just March into ice cold Chicago (our receivers and offense play so well in cold weather) and beat a red hot Bears team who just broke the all time 4th quarter playoff comeback record.

Y’all are funny sometimes.

The bears offense is not that good, we already played them and they aren't going to have the same success. They just lost their best LB on defense. They're not "red hot" they aren't playing amazing football, even today williams threw 2 picks

lol no it didn't.

The #2 seed is exponentially better than resting a few guys for ONE home playoff game vs not resting a few guys for at LEAST 2 home playoff games (possibly even a home NFC Championship game).

And they didn't even need to play all the starters - anyone who was "banged up" could have rested - heck, even maybe Hurts - they even had a chance to win late in the 4th quarter and they did not even put Smitty in for the last drive - no excuse for that whatsoever.

And Sirianni's excuse of not wanting to put guys in that weren't warmed up late is even more infuriating. If you decide to rest a bunch of starters - whatever, I don't agree with resting healthy guys in that game BUT you BETTER make sure that everyone on that team is READY to PLAY if needed. That means they should have been on bikes warming up the entire 2nd half in case the Bears lost - which they did. That is the most frustrating part about it.

Yeah but why would the packers play anyone in week 18? Wasn’t going to help them playing in week 18 except get more guys hurt. The packers have been toast since parsons got hurt. They’ve been bad defensively since outside of the Vikings game (which was two backup QBs)

Eagles are an entirely different circumstance.

I guess. Im just salty now that the Bears won lol

My hope is the experienced veterans on offense ball out despite the coaching. And the Siri who in the SB was aggressive and said "just call it" about the dagger will lead.

Well, I agree to an extent. The Lions in week 18 went into Chicago and held the Bears to 16 points. The Packers defense since Parsons got hurt has been bad. He got hurt in that Denver game. Not including week 18 Vikings game as no starters played for GB and it was Vikings 3rd string Qb. So the last four games without Micah Parsons including that Denver game they’ve given up 34, 22, 41 an 31. So 32 ppg. Heck the low one was bears scoring 22 in OT

Nah the bye is better. NFL is about rest and health #1.

As far as wilting in the playoffs, it's hard to come up with anyone more fitting. Maybe Darnold? But for us as eagles fans, Dak is funnier.

They did not have a "bye week" - stop calling it that. Huge difference between resting some starters vs. having a legitimate bye week where the entire team gets an extra day or two off - then the coaching staff and the team have two full weeks to prepare. Apples to Oranges to "resting some starters for a week". Not even close.
