Does anyone recall another outright NFL tank?

I’m pretty sure this is unprecedented in the 45 years I’ve been watching — benching/deactivating your top 2 QBs is just something I’ve never seen.

Unclear whether #6 and the demoralizing weight of this trumps #9 and a possible big win for Hurts. I think this is gonna leave a scar on the Iggs.

I've never seen a team out and out lose a game because only a retarded

coach like Pederson wouldn't understand the consequences of that. Guys that are that clueless generally don't make it to that position.

Bad look.very bad.

I am seriously debating not watching the NFL anymore. If I wanted to watch fixed sports I'd watch the WWE or the NBA

This is how you lose a locker room

Eagles sucked, they’re going to clean house

This hurts there chances of getting onto next years roster, or showcasing for a different teams

Opportunities in the nfl are limited, can’t afford to tank on purpose

The 1988 49’ers

Tanked so we wouldn’t make the playoffs. I have lived this before.

I hope the Eagles

fire the Eagles and burn Dougie’s fucking visor.

eagles radio is discussing...

claiming this was clearly a tank, ordered from "on high". Claiming this is a sign that Pederson is "safe" and was on board with taking the #6 pick for next year.

By that I mean 'WIP'

And the guy talking said he gets it and it is understandable.
Eagles post-game - ( New Window )

Many on their board are pissed...

They actually need to evaluate Hurts who has not played well in the second half of games before they can decide on Wentz. Dumb. This is the kind of thing that can linger.

Sitting players to avoid injury before a playoff game has been done many times. Sitting guys when you're eliminated is new. Then he upped it one by bringing in his 3rd string QB when it looked like they might win anyway.

The stench of this is gonna linger ...

We’ve seen it on other sports, but never in the NFL, where guys are risking their health on every play.

San Fran tanked one years ago when we needed them to win

The NFL should investigate.
