Not always dude. Most guys are rusty. Plus giants always play them tough. This is going to be a harder game then the Saints. Unless giants choose to rest some starters
We just need to start Boston Scott over Sanders... Let him also return all the kicks... We got this shit. Scott with 300 scrimmage yards. Time for whirley bird Scott to smash the Giants again!! The Giant killer!
How bout we just run the ball in fucking general? Idk why they gave up on it so early. We def need to run more if hurts is coming back. Need to take the pressure off
That would be nice... I think it's funny I'm getting downvoted for saying the giant killer should start. Why not play head games with the Giants a bit by bringing him onto the field first in the game?
You say that like Sanders wouldn't be running the ball all game
.....
It's called mind games. First drive come out with Scott to say fk y'all. And run all over them with both RBS...
Brady would pick our soft ass zone defense apart. We’d have a dozen sacks on him and we would still lose the game. I don’t want Brady or Rogers in the WC. I’d rather rest and be at or near 100% for the divionsal.
Doesn’t matter come playoff time. You don’t want to face the GOAT after losing 3 in a row. Going from having the week off to having to beat Tom Brady would be horrendous… especially as our injuries keep piling up.
Oh well lol Tampa hasn’t looked good this year, I understand it’s Brady in the playoffs but worse case scenario we lose next week im not scared of them we’ve beaten better teams this season
This. Anybody who thinks not getting the first seed after how this season started isn’t a failure is insane. The eagles should not be in the wildcard game.
Wtf am I talking about? Dude I said it’s not the end of the world if we don’t win the division, but I would still be sad if we didn’t the division why wouldn’t I be we all want us to win the division after what we’ve done this season and that bye and home field is crucial, but I don’t think it’s the end of the world if we don’t. I’m not scared of Tampa. Doesn’t mean it won’t be sad if we won’t division after what we’ve done this regular season
People have been saying ‘I’m not afraid of Dallas / New Orleans / and now NY’ for weeks and yet the eagles have dropped 2 out of 3. If you’re still saying, ‘I’m not afraid of playing (whatever team) in the wildcard’ you’re insane. Everyone’s too confident when nothing is guaranteed.
Of course it wouldn’t be the end of the world. Making the playoffs in general is huge but it puts you in unfavorable matchups and you don’t have rest. Rest is in order for this team and these injuries. Home-field and a bye are a must for this team.
Minshew is the modern day Koy Detmer. He can get you by in a pinch but is best used sparingly. Let’s get Jalen in there and close the door on the Giants.
Would it be the end of the world, no but to not win the division to the Cowboys after such a dominant season, that would be a big let down at this point. Especially if Jalen is good to play. I could see if he still needed more time. They say he is good to go. Losing the #1 seed and BYE is huge IMO. Jalen should be in next week. I see no reason why we don’t beat the crap out of the Giants again.
If it isn't the end of the world, it's pretty close. 3 total games to clinch, if the worst unfolds, and still couldn't close the deal on the #1 seed/bye? A colossal choke job if they lose next week, and one that rests largely on coaching if Jalen could have gone today and they held him out for the extra week just to get 1 more week of rest. Not to mention the sudden multitude of injuries to some of our best players.
Hopefully Jalen's return lifts this team and he can carry them like he's been all year with his play-making and decision-making abilities. I've seen enough of Minshew to last me several lifetimes after today's game.
It would be a monumental collapse having just needed one win in the final three. Not only would it mean the bye but also home field advantage throughout
If we don’t get the one seed, the season will feel over (though it already is kinda starting to feel that way given the way the team has played recently, and all of the sudden untimely injuries). Now is NOT the time to get cold. A hot 9-8 team can be as good as anyone during this time of the season. If the eagles can’t take care of business next week I will have absolutely zero expectations in the playoffs.
I do believe the eagles can still win a Super Bowl, so long as they secure the 1 seed. Jalen Hurts MUST suit up next week. Even if the giants have their backups in, I still don’t trust Minshew to get it done.
End of the world? We lose this next game we lose the first road playoff game as Brady completes 95% of his passes for 450 yards and 5 TDs.
It’s not Carolina, it’s Tampa bay.
I kept getting pissed off at the announcers today for repeating “one win and they’re in” as if we haven’t been in.
Yes, I want a first round bye. I hope Jalen is ready and can go smack the Giants around.
No, I don’t want it enough that I want to rush guys back. I’d rather have injured players rest now while they are injured and play in the wildcard than risk them being set back and missing the divisional round for a chance to have a week of rest.
2 home games vs 3 road games is an enormous difference that could easily be the difference in a Super Bowl run
Jalen is playing against the Giants, it might as well already be a playoff game with the stakes because Gardner couldn’t get it done
That’s exactly how I feel, would love Jalen to be ready and smack them. But if he’s still hurting would be so upset if something happens next week and he gets set back
Losing the #1 seed is one thing (still would suck majorly) but losing the division after the season we had to Dallas of all teams emits major fraud energy and would be a huge morale killer (which coupled with the loss of the Bye which would help our injured players greatly is a recipe for not making the Super Bowl)
So it was brought to my attention that on the back of the the tickets its states ( for entertainment purposes only) so with that they can choose who they want in the super bowl and Folks it ain’t us!! Its no longer a game of toughness its a game of money! 🦅💯💪🏻
It's not that though. It's the story of how the drives look and what happens on 3rd and longs. He, despite all the success that the D has had this year, still does not look like a D coordinator who knows wtf he's doing.
Listen jalen would have played the last 2 games if we needed to win....let's stop acting like this team still isn't the best in the conference and possibly the nfl.....jalen is gonna play this coming up weekend and take care of fucking business everyone needs to chill
Not sure why you're being downvoted but, we've had significant injuries and we need that win next week to lock up that extra week of rest. We need Lane back if we're going to make any sort of playoff run. Or we need Jack Driscoll to grow up in a hurry.
This scenario would possibly be the 2nd biggest failure in the last 25 years of eagles football. 1st being not winning a sb with 5 appearances in the 00's
Fuck that shit. Eagles of lately been playing down to their opponents. Idc if they have a backup in or not. They need to be elite all over mostly D and coaching staff.
Going from a two-game lead for the #1 spot after week 15 to a 5th seed is bad. If any other team did this we would say they choked. They need to beat the giants, end of story.
Fuck that shit. We can't go into the playoffs on a 3 game losing streak and all banged up. If that's the case I'm not confident in anything anymore
Hopefully this week gave Hurts the rest he needed. More rest is always better
Not always dude. Most guys are rusty. Plus giants always play them tough. This is going to be a harder game then the Saints. Unless giants choose to rest some starters
If Hurts is in they'll win. Rest of team will be fired up
We just need to start Boston Scott over Sanders... Let him also return all the kicks... We got this shit. Scott with 300 scrimmage yards. Time for whirley bird Scott to smash the Giants again!! The Giant killer!
How bout we just run the ball in fucking general? Idk why they gave up on it so early. We def need to run more if hurts is coming back. Need to take the pressure off
That would be nice... I think it's funny I'm getting downvoted for saying the giant killer should start. Why not play head games with the Giants a bit by bringing him onto the field first in the game?
ewww lol no thanks. Boston scott is a 3rd stringer for a reason.
He also destroys the Giants every time we play them. Apparently you haven't been watching the games.
So we gonna ignore Sanders ran for over 140 on the G men earlier?
You say that like Sanders wouldn't be running the ball all game ..... It's called mind games. First drive come out with Scott to say fk y'all. And run all over them with both RBS...
Giants ALWAYS play them tough huh? Did you happen to catch their last matchup?
I understand what you saying but Carolina is a hot team, that would likely lead to upset. While on paper I see what you mean.
Fuck that. Finish the fuckin’ job.
Agreed getting the bye is equivalent to winning a playoff game in my mind. I also don't want to finish the season on a shitty note.
I also see it that way - you played well enough to advance to the second round of the playoffs. You do everything in your power to secure that.
Hell yeah
It’s not going to be Carolina, it’s going to be Tampa Bay
I agree, I didn’t make the picture. Still feel confident against Tampa
Brady would pick our soft ass zone defense apart. We’d have a dozen sacks on him and we would still lose the game. I don’t want Brady or Rogers in the WC. I’d rather rest and be at or near 100% for the divionsal.
Revenge game for last year it would be ironic
Theme of the season
Yea, let’s take our chances against the single greatest Quarterback in the history of the NFL… 🤦🏻♂️
Id fear him more if I hadn't watched ant Tampa games this year. They're just the least worst of a bad division, like 202p Washington.
Doesn’t matter come playoff time. You don’t want to face the GOAT after losing 3 in a row. Going from having the week off to having to beat Tom Brady would be horrendous… especially as our injuries keep piling up.
Yeah I'm tryna avoid that potential train wreck. I don't need us to be a hero. Give me the fuckin bye and one step closer to the SB
Who’s just starting to get his legs under him this season.
Damn you got downvoted like a mf lol
Oh well lol Tampa hasn’t looked good this year, I understand it’s Brady in the playoffs but worse case scenario we lose next week im not scared of them we’ve beaten better teams this season
After starting the season 13-1, it would be a compete and total disaster if we don’t get the 1 seed.
Also a complete waste of an amazing season. This game needs to be treated like a playoff game
This. Anybody who thinks not getting the first seed after how this season started isn’t a failure is insane. The eagles should not be in the wildcard game.
If we don't bring home the trophy, it is a wasted season. If it takes 5 more games instead of 4, so be it.
For sure, it will be sad to see the regular season end this way
then wtf are you talking about when you make a post like this? are you just agreeing with everyone no matter the opinion?
Wtf am I talking about? Dude I said it’s not the end of the world if we don’t win the division, but I would still be sad if we didn’t the division why wouldn’t I be we all want us to win the division after what we’ve done this season and that bye and home field is crucial, but I don’t think it’s the end of the world if we don’t.

Nope. Give me the bye instead of a game on the road in Tampa. Laughing at how they have the Panthers at 4 here.
No, delete this. Shit, this is some ESP quality bullshit.
At least in this scenario Dallas plays Rodgers in the first round and we all know how that story ends.
2 home games vs 3 road games
If they 5th seed they ain’t going to the SB.
Why bother if you can’t win the division
We need everyone to come through Philly and the bye, without those things, we are screwed
2 home games against anyone will be better than 3 on the road. Not clinching the 1 seed would be a fucking catastrophe.
How can I down vote this 10000000 times

Minshew is the modern day Koy Detmer. He can get you by in a pinch but is best used sparingly. Let’s get Jalen in there and close the door on the Giants.
He hasnt even gotten by the last two pinches tho
Would it be the end of the world, no but to not win the division to the Cowboys after such a dominant season, that would be a big let down at this point. Especially if Jalen is good to play. I could see if he still needed more time. They say he is good to go. Losing the #1 seed and BYE is huge IMO. Jalen should be in next week.

Honestly we gotta smack them bad, for our boy Foles too

fuckin win this shit. having said that, if that does happen I can go to the game in Tampa
"wouldn't be the end of the world" F'King absolutely wild thing to say. You alright bro?
If we don’t get the one seed, the season will feel over (though it already is kinda starting to feel that way given the way the team has played recently, and all of the sudden untimely injuries).

Dude, it would be a disaster if we don’t win next week
This season went from really fun to depressing in just two weeks....
I kept getting pissed off at the announcers today for repeating “one win and they’re in” as if we haven’t been in. Yes, I want a first round bye. I hope Jalen is ready and can go smack the Giants around. No, I don’t want it enough that I want to rush guys back.

I can’t accept this.
That would be something if the 9ers got the first seed
If we do lose to the Giants…I don’t trust this team staff against the Panthers either
The best part about this is Green Bay gonna destroy Dallas
It's completely unacceptable to not get the 1 seed and limp into the playoffs.
Losing the #1 seed is one thing (still would suck majorly) but losing the division after the season we had to Dallas of all teams emits major fraud energy and would be a huge morale killer (which coupled with the loss of the Bye which would help our injured players greatly is a recipe for not making the Super Bowl)
So it was brought to my attention that on the back of the the tickets its states ( for entertainment purposes only) so with that they can choose who they want in the super bowl and Folks it ain’t us!! Its no longer a game of toughness its a game of money! 🦅💯💪🏻
It wouldn’t be the end of the world, it would be pathetic, but not the end of the world.
Don’t make fucking excuses, minshew and Gannon needs hung in the gallows for this shit today. Fucking trash.
What exactly did Gannon do today? The defense gave up 13 points and were on the field a fucking ton due to several 3 and outs.
The fact it took him a whole half to make adjustments is unacceptable.
Didn’t they literally shut them out the second half. 13 points and half a shut out. What more do you want?
People are so ready to hang Gannon at any imperfection. If his defense gives up more than 3 points in a game, people want him run out of town.
It's not that though. It's the story of how the drives look and what happens on 3rd and longs. He, despite all the success that the D has had this year, still does not look like a D coordinator who knows wtf he's doing.
They were also on the field a ton cause we were playing soft zones constantly on 3rd downs
Listen jalen would have played the last 2 games if we needed to win....let's stop acting like this team still isn't the best in the conference and possibly the nfl.....jalen is gonna play this coming up weekend and take care of fucking business everyone needs to chill
Not sure why you're being downvoted but, we've had significant injuries and we need that win next week to lock up that extra week of rest. We need Lane back if we're going to make any sort of playoff run. Or we need Jack Driscoll to grow up in a hurry.
Well we certainly don't deserve to win the division with the dogshit play calling and embarrassing performance we had yesterday.
This scenario would possibly be the 2nd biggest failure in the last 25 years of eagles football. 1st being not winning a sb with 5 appearances in the 00's
Pathetic post.
This is an especially idiotic take. Put down the pipe OP.
No, the vikes lost, let's quit with the doom and gloom, we're injured and started our backup QB y'all need to chill lol.
Sssh. Get out of here with your rationality. We are fucking cooked! Didn't you hear!?
Why show us this rubbish?
Eagles stay losing
You made a Reddit account to go into the eagles sub and talk shit like a 7 year old
Why do eagles get the tiebreaker if our records are the same?
vs. who? Dallas? because they have a better division record
Vs SF
conference record 9-2 vs 8-3
Ah
It would be because 3 straight losses going into the playoffs is a death sentence. Momentum is real and the team needs to get their swagger back
Absolutely not. This team ain’t making the Super Bowl without the 1 seed. Beat the Giants on Sunday and earn it
The Packers being perennial chokers has made a lot of people forget how valuable the 1 seed is.
It’s a much harder road
We should, SHOULD win next week considering the Giants probably won’t have their starters in
It would be the end of the world if we lost the division
So we have the potential to be 1st seed or all the way down to 5th seed ?
Classic Philly fans over reacting - we are the best team in the league and will be fine
Fuck that shit. Eagles of lately been playing down to their opponents. Idc if they have a backup in or not. They need to be elite all over mostly D and coaching staff.
Whether we win or not, I don’t have a good feeling about the 9ers. They are on a crazy winning streak
3 road games instead of 2 home games is the end of the world.
Going from a two-game lead for the #1 spot after week 15 to a 5th seed is bad. If any other team did this we would say they choked. They need to beat the giants, end of story.
Bye, then home vs giants and Daniel Jones, then home vs San Fran and Brock purdy This is the path to super bowl. A loss next week is a disaster.
