Not sure how I feel. I don’t have to work Sunday so that’s a plus. I just hope our WC game isn’t the Monday night game. 

NOOOOOO

That would truly suck, no chance I'd be able to watch then go to work a couple of hours later.

Yeah i probably will 😄.

Sunday/Monday night games really no good for us UK fans.

Managed ok after SB52 though 😁

Why have they done that? Means I won’t get to see it in the UK  😡

Yeah I'm really annoyed about this.

Why they making a meaningless game a nationally televised game?

Not completely meaningless.  Eagles can still get the 6 seed with a win.  Cowboys can still get the 3 seed, which for them would mean home field in the Divisional round IF whoever is the 2 seed (Rams, Cardinals or Buccaneers) is eliminated in the first round. 

Both teams will be resting starters so I think it's weird they moved the game unless both teams are playing the following Saturday which is unlikely.

Will be at a concert on Sunday at 2pm, so this works for me.

I’d rather play the Bucs. So many injuries and no Antonio Brown. 
Put Slay on Evans, double Gronk and make sure Gannon gets rid of his soft zone all game.

The Rams - Kupp is difficult to cover as the slot guy. Donald is a nightmare and Ramsey would take away Smith, basically allowing them to focus on Goedert/taking away the run.

There is still an opportunity to move up to the 6th seed, so not sure if we will be resting starters.

I think no matter what the Eagles know they are going to face a tough wildcard game. And depending how other results go (which they won't now know as they will be playing earlier than most) there are a whole host of possibilities. I think they will pull some of the starters at halftime. 

So both teams might be resting their starters.................right?

I get the whole protect from injury side of it, but I’d like to see Hurts play 1st quarter and put points on the board.

I wonder if Dallas can improve their playoff seeding with a W and losses by TB and/or LA.  If so, then I highly doubt either team rests starters since both would have something to play for (we have an opportunity to move up to the 6th seed with a W and SF loss).

Dallas can do whatever it wants but we are resting our key starters. If Dallas was smart, so would they.

Dallas still has a chance at the two seed, so it sounds like this game was moved so Dallas has to play it out since they won’t know the outcomes of Tampa or LA.

That has already been reported?

Dallas can end anywhere from the 4 seed to the 2 seed. Why would they rest anyone?

Not necessarily the Cowboys.  Cowboys still playing for the 3 seed, which would get them home field in the Divisional playoff if the 2 seed loses in the Wild Card round and they win. 

For the Eagles, it's a question of, do you want to go to likely Tampa for Round 1 against the Bucs or play whoever wins the NFC West (Rams or Cardinals, Rams still have to play the 49ers again this week with the 49ers having to win to get in).  

This is a blessing it will give us that extra day of rest since will probably be traveling to the rams

Depends on the 1st rnd matchup.  I’m sure they would love us in the 1st rnd.  Right now they look like they would play the cards and I doubt they really want that

Gonna have some Minshew Mania Saturday night.

They're doing this the same reason they do anything in the NFL:  money, and specifically TV money.  

Putting a game in prime time even though both team's starters could be in street clothes tells you how popular the Eagles and Cowboys are.
