Biggest tank in history of league?

big_blue : 1/3/2021 11:34 pm
I don’t post much but this has to be most obvious tank in history of this game. Makes me sick. Is there another one more obvious????
OH FFS....

Get over it!!!!! Here is a suggestion for the Giants...win more friggin games...hell, even ONE more game...and then you dont have to worry about rooting for or caring about the shitty Eagles beating the shitty WFT.

Giants didnt make the playoffs because of one thing....THE GIANTS!
Yes,

This alone will kill the integrity of the league if nothing is done about it.
Its the most obvious I can remember

By a long shot. Giants made their own bed. I was prepared for WFT to win tonight - albeit rooting hard against that - but I was not prepared for a blatant tank.

Sitting nicked up players, getting some rookie skill guys looks, etc etc - all feels within bounds. This was different. Felt like a disgrace and a disrespect to the players on the field.

Alex Smith was so confused after the game in his interview - very telling.

the Giants, I can guarantee you the league is irate with what the Eagles did tonight. This is bush league bullshit and I never thought I'd see it.
And no one will care come draft time

It’s not about that. Sure I would have loved for us to be in the playoffs because it’s been so damn long since we’ve been there. But you’re right. 6-10 doesn’t cut it.

But the Eagles tanking isn’t about whether we got into the playoffs or not. It’s a League issue. A team blatantly throwing a game for a higher draft pick is the cheapest, most amateurish thing I’ve seen in the NFL. The league has to address it because it impacts the integrity of the game. All fans and anyone associated with the NFL should be concerned about this.
Biggest anti Giants tank was 1988

SF tanked against the Rams to prevent the 49ers from having to deal with the Giants .. smart move

As Phil Simms said “They laid down like dogs”. Also inn 2008 we rested players in the final game. If I recall correctly there were playoff implications for other teams.
Resting players

I keep hearing the resting players argument brought up. That's not an apples to apples comparison. If a team rests it's players it's almost always to protect them and their team for a game the following week. It is ultimately to help their teams chances to win. The Eagles doing it in this case was the opposite of that, they did it to help a loss.
There was no tank

Hurts was yanked because he stank- 33% completions, 72 yards and 34 yards running - three quarters. The mystery is why he wasn't yanked earlier.

You characters wouldn't know a tank if it ran over you.

Man, your posts just keep getting more and more ridiculous. He also ran for 2 TDs and he was by far the best QB active on the Eagles.
