So the Saints game is still going to mean something. It wouldn't make sense to play Hurts without practicing when the game is going to basically have the same stakes whether Dallas wins or loses.

eagle45 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 The Giants should be a safe bet to clinch a playoff birth this weekend. If that happens, you have to figure it will heavily impact their approach to the finale against the Eagles. Since they will be on the road just 1 week later, I'd expect that (at a minimum) all starters get pulled at halftime. That game could become a freebie.

Alphagrand Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 One scenario I'd be curious to watch play out in Week 18 if results go a certain way this weekend: -- Both the Commanders and Giants enter Week 18 with 8-7-1 records -- that would mean WASH beat the Browns and the Giants lose to IND (not likely but possible) -- Eagles beat the Saints this weekend and have the #1 seed locked up, thereby locking DAL into the #5 seed -- Both the Eagles and Turds rest all their starters in Week 18, contributing to the Commanders and Giants both winning to finish at 9-7-1 and eliminating all of the 8-loss teams in the NFC from playoff contention.

I think we should actually cheer for the giants to beat the colts. They clinch a playoff spot if they win. Meaning if worse case scenario happens with the eagles losing then the giants are likely resting starters in week 18 as they are the 6 seed regardless.

Some real experts would call some cheaper Montepulciano d'Abruzzo's, Rioja's, or blends too thin, bland, and lacking tertiary notes...but something that is smooth and neutral...$12 or not, I love it. The more complex stuff...I love that too, but I'm not at the point where I can appreciate the gap between a Lafite Rothschild and a Bordeaux second growth. Those discerning palates belong to the Real Snobs... Wine is an acquired taste. If you like it, enjoy it, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There also has to be some incentive for them to knock the Eagles out to the 5th seed, guaranteeing they won't see them until the NFCCG at the earliest.

Thrive Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 13 minutes ago, 315Eagles said: That seems to be the idea. But man if they lose to the Saints then the heat is on. In a perfect world they handle the Saints and everyone can rest up for a few weeks. It’s an embarrassing move that can blow up in their faces such that the full squad (including Hurts and CJGJ) have to play against the Giants. Or, you do what you think you need to do to give yourself the best chance to win on Sunday and give everyone the Giants game off. To the extent Hurts and CJGJ could play if this was a playoff game, well then they need to play this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanMeanGM Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 This is behind a paywall for ESPN+ but the Eagles only part Quote Despite what the Eagles were saying publicly last week, I don’t believe there was ever any consideration given to Jalen Hurts playing against the Cowboys after his shoulder injury was revealed — and once again, I’d be surprised if he played this week. The Eagles’ real decision could end up being whether to give Hurts some game action in Week 18 against the Giants just so he hasn’t had five weeks off before their divisional-round playoff game (assuming they secure that No. 1 seed and bye). The impression I get from talking to people about this situation is that the Eagles believe they will have Hurts back before their first playoff game, but they still aren’t sure about the extent to which the injury will affect him once he does return. https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/insider/story/_/id/35328773/predicting-nfl-week-17-upset-picks-weekly-buzz-notes-late-season-surprises-concerning-playoff-team-trends-offseason-fixes-fantasy-advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to think barkley is not playing in that game of it has no meaning on their playoff outcomes. They won’t risk him for the playoffs when he’s their best player and player they need the most. I’d be shocked if he was out there. I tend to think some guys like thibodeaux are likely not playing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta root for the Colts this week simply based on that possibility. Tbh i don’t see the saints losing twice. Likely lose to us if we handle our business. If the Bucs win this weekend vs. Carolina that game for Carolina and saints the next week is meaningless as tampa clinches a playoff spot. Carolina still has their 1st round draft pick so losing for them helps them long term. Saints it makes no difference as they don’t have their first. Im guessing Carolina loses that game this weekend and then likely the following week play a bunch of young guys they want to see tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
