For a big game it doesn’t get much smaller than this. But hey, if a 3-7 Mississippi State football team can play in a bowl game then why can’t a desperately underachieving NFC East squadoo sully the good name of “the NFL Playoffs”? I see no reason, your case is dismissed and court is adjourned. [thinks to self, “That oughta please all those lawyer types out there.”]
TO THE GAME!
Team/Eagles:
-If Team had even slightly below-average qb play this year they wouldn’t be in this mess.
-I guess Alex Smith being able to start can be construed as good news although his PFF passer rating comes in at 31st among 38 qualifying tossers. Still, better than a bottle of Taylor Heinicke, right?
-A league-leading 67% of Smith’s passes are thrown short of the 1st down marker. I mean, I hate to pile on but Jeezuz that’s lousy. “He ain’t take any chances at all!”
-Hurts’ rushing attempts have decreased from 18 to 11 to 9 in the last three weeks but you’d think he’s have to reverse that trend if the Eagles plan on winning.
-Overall, an effective run game is needed to effectively sell play-action against Team’s nasty, pressurizing D.
-Missing in action for Philly is Cox, Sanders, Goedert, Barnett and Mailata. For Washington, Gibson and McLaurin are questionable.
-The absence of Mailata is a big one for the Eagles. It would seem that as a left guard he’ll be replaced by first-time starter Brent Toth. He’ll be facing-you guessed it-Chase Young all game long.
-Go Eagles! (just this one time and nevermind if the Giants blew it earlier today)
Praise be unto you all. Or something like that.
That was.. something
Me after every date.
Giants fans right now
Their Twitter right now is fantastic.
On the plus side, this has stoked additional divisional hatreds, which are less damaging and more entertaining than many other types of hatreds!
Dougy P
If Sudfeld broke loose on open field Peterson would spear him from sidelines
Can it be a palpably unfair act against your own team?
bring out the field goal unit
those dots are called an ellipsis you uncultured fuck
Sudfield hand off to Scott up the middle for -1 yard
Imagine Pederson putting Hurts back in right now?
“Go get ’em, kid!”
Cris: “Don’t you love football?”
Giants Fans:
“Think how grateful we all would have been for even this game back in April”
Did Chase Young always had the captain “C” patch or did he just stapled on Haskins’ “C” when Rivera ripped it off.
Eagles recover a fumble, return it for a TD.
Pederson goes for 2.
And it’s a handoff to the defense.
Pederson calling a timeout is rich.
Peterson calling a timeout here is just rubbing salt in the wound.
pederson: great job jim
jim:…. what?
pederson: you didn’t do that on purpose?
jim: do what?
pederson: nothing
The Pro Bowl has more integrity than the last 1/4 of this game.
Waiting for someone to pull the ref out of the ring just when Philly scores. Then there will be a steel chair. Or a crotch shot. Give me.
LOL, Collingsworth has to pay his producer a bitcoin every time he says Redacteds?
He should have to pay us a Bitcoin!
Sudfeld on as nose tackle
Pederson calling the “jump offsides” defense here.
I want it on record that this was typed in before the Eagles, in fact, jumped offsides.
I can’t wait for the postgame interviews.
this is the final game that 2020 deserved
Absolutely correct. (Brocky, stop reading)
No one tell him.
oh god, they’re coming back?
Hmm, seems you aren’t following instructions properly.
…too late?
I’ve been a bad boy, do I get punished again?
Ah well.

Look at #36 flailing at the fumble.
Are we watching a WWF card?
I need 10 yards from Gibson and 6 from Terry. Please kill this off.
RIP to you.
Got the Gibson prop!
Both teams going into Victory formation for rest of game
There’s no conspiracy theory here, Cris: The Eagles are openly tanking a game that affects the play-offs for other teams and, more importantly their draft position next season. It can’t be more obvious.
LOL
on the National Broadcast too!
Nbc fault for flexing a tank bait game to prime time
That’s a great point.
Pederson afraid to look at his players. Examining his playsheet very hard for the “throw it up” or “fumble it ‘accidentally'”
Ah, the vaunted “double hot potato” play
I’m starting to get angry for the Mrs. here.
Because NFL teams are supposed to try?
The phrases “They’re throwing this game” and “This shouldn’t be allowed” have been said by her many times in the last 20ish minutes
There’s a general rule of thumb, (unwritten, as all rules in sports are), that when teams are playing a game that affects another team’s play-off chances, they at least try. Putting Sudfeld in just makes a mockery not only of that, but of every single one of the other Eagles players who are out there playing a violent game.
Unwritten rules all got trashed with Trump
To be fair, the written rules didn’t fare much better.
The energizer butter? Sounds good!

M. Hutchence, trying to work that knot loose.
also, Jared Fogle’s answer to “What’s your favorite thing to do with kids?”
Damn.
Put in Wentz
I’ll admit it, I’m enjoying Al and Cris calling Pederson out for tanking here.
I am not sure I’ve really seen this type of shit before…
Not during an actual game, no.
Only Brent Musberger can bring this to life
Go get him out of the study where he’s enjoying cigars and brandy.
Nathan Peterman is warming up on the Eagles sideline just in case.
J Peterman as well
♫ No You Cant! ♫
Sudfeld looks like Nick Foles in disguise
does god know I’m not a fan of either of these teams?
♫ Anything you can derp, I can derp better! ♫
The Gang commits to the tank
This is just awful football.
Oh but wait! There’s more!
NFC EAST! Catch the Excite!
Well, now it’s gonna look really bad when Pederson sends the punt unit out for the 1st play after that interception.
He did you one better…
I’m playing checkers, he’s tanking a chess tournament.
The Gang remains alive
Alert
Curry is goin off
go DUBS
friend: if you found a genie in a bottle and got three wishes, what would you ask for?

LOL
Giants fans havin a breakdown
I’m not crying you are!
