The 2027 NFL draft is supposed to be stacked. The Eagles are one of the few teams in the league where the GM doesn't have to worry about job security. We've seen similar type of behavior at the end of the 2020 season when Dougie inserted Nate Sudfeld for the last quarter in a winnable game.

So is the tank on, or nah?

They don't need to tank with the way things are going. I hope they turn it around but with the o-line situation, injuries stacking up each game and Siri's unconventional coaching decisions it will be a tough mountain to climb.

They may tank later but aren't now. It won't be hard to figure out. When they start trading FA's next year and guys like Dickerson and you'll know.

One can only hope so

Not intentionally - but yes

I don't think they were or are, but 2026 is most likely a wrap unless McKee comes in and plays well... If McKee plays well it's probably not a good look for Hurts and if it's more of the same looking offense I would think Nick's on the hot seat which is what im expecting 🤷

Not sure they would lose on purpose. Too bad Howie waited to build the offensive line.
He had a #1 and 2 LAST year, and never touched the line. You KNOW he regrets it now.
They need a good draft next year- its critical.

Yeah I was really surprised they didn't go oline earlier and often in the last few drafts... Maybe Howie felt ok about where Dickerson and Jurgens were at the time 🤷

The results may work out the same, but is it on purpose? I don't think so.

Missing a 3rd rounder doesn't help in a supposedly stacked draft. I hope Grenard proves worth it.

you cant plan a blood clot but i believe they will take full advantage of this loss season. if they aren't they seriously need to

They’re not tanking. They’re a hurt football team with poor coaching and a horrible offensive line.

Hurts is crap , McKee is showing nothing, we need to get rid of these 2 and draft a QB. This is the worse offensive I have ever seen. The coordinator makes no adjustments, so no change. This is a wasted year, so let’s get some good draft choices, need offenseive line, QB and can always use a receiver. New coaches would also help

This team needs offensive line help more than anything. The offensive line can’t run block and can barely pass block.

They are tanking, no purposely but definitely tanking.

11 more games over 12 weeks. Probably missing Jalen for 6 more weeks.

Maybe we get Jalen back this season, but it could be too late to make the playoffs.

Eagles probably need to trade for an OLineman.

If we don't do something to fix the OLine, we will lose most of the remaining games.

It's fix the OLine or suffer through the losses.

If ever there was a time for the team to enter tank mode, now is the time.

It was a bad trade that the team should not have made, but it's only a third rounder, and the team still has a comp pick at the end of third round.
