Yea. But there still seems to be some confusion in here. 

It should be more clearer now. Win Saturday and 1 seed and division is locked up. Or look at it win any of the next 3. But no better place to do it on xmas eve in Dallas.

I think winning in Dallas would be icing on the cake, but the most important thing here is the Eagles need only one more win regardless. It doesn’t have to be Dallas. The Eagles control their own destiny.

Exactly. Thank you Dougy P

If that happens do you sit starters part of the game against New Orleans?  I wouldn’t be surprised if they only play the first half.  

If we wrap this up Saturday I would play the starters for a half against the Saints and not sure yet week 18. Maybe do the same against the giants or not play anyone at all 

First round bye obviously means no wild card game so I’m looking at it both ways. Sit everyone week 18 then they have I think 2 weeks off before next game if I’m looking at the playoff schedule correctly.

I'd say play them at least 1Q vs giants maybe first half assuming we take care of the pukes Sat

Great. I agree. But they looked really sloppy today. Hurts was eyeing his receivers the entire time. This is why he threw so many interceptions. I am a little concerned, that the team needs either a rest or a jolt to get their Mojo back.

1 int was bc he tried to make a play when he didn't have to. The 2nd Watkins ran the wrong route on an anticipation throw. Learn football.

The first INT was likely because of the cold and wind. It was just a bad throw. And he said he couldn’t feel his fingers early in the game because it was so cold.

And when I was watching it live, it looked to me like the ball kinda tumbled downwards. Like a sinker or split finger in baseball.

No chance a starter plays week 18.  This is the same team who barely played their starters in the pre-season.  

Well, Kelce should go out for the 1st snap, that's it.

When/if Eagles clinch HFA, give Jurgens, Dean, and maybe K'von Wallace playing time for experience.

Indeed.  I'd add Sermon, Jobe, McPhearson, Robinson, and Kyron Johnson to that list.

If you were trying to convince me that this was not a sloppy game..you have not. I understand what you are saying. The cold weather was blamed. Hurts said it. And I will buy that as a legitimate excuse for what i seen. Hopefully the next game will be crispier execution.

There was no excuse for the 1st interception. It was really a bad decision. The 2nd int watch Watkins, he was supposed to cut out and Hurts threw it where Watkins was supposed to be. And yes, we obviously don't know who is 100% to blame, but seeing how Hurts has been throwing those anticipation throws all year without an issue, I will blame our #3 wr Watkins for the brain fart.

They just published it Hurts hurt his shoulder in the 3rd Quarter and is out for 2 games. That is another legitimate. explanation. We are still good. But it is getting interesting.

If we beat Dallas with Minshew we don’t see Hurts until playoffs.

All in all our backups looked very good. Whenever anyone filled in it took a moment but eventually was alright. This whole depth concept is still underrated. That and overall health.

Don't believe that at all. Hurts finished the game with over 1quarter left. I also have secret unamed sources....

I'm most interested in seeing Sermon at RB and that DE we picked up off Minny's practice squad (Robinson) as well as Jobe at CB.

Now it seems Jalen was hurt, bothered by the conditions, and the play calling certainly did not help. Now he’s hurt and likely will be out until the playoffs. I’m not trying to downplay Jalen’s importance to the team nor am I saying he wasn’t great this year, but with the talent on this team I see no way Minshew will go winless.

I doubt Jalen is out until the playoffs other than them just resting him if they lock up home field. Franky, I’m not convinced that he wouldn’t be able to play Saturday if it was actually a must-win game. 

Just beat the Cowboys. Right now, that's all there is.
