Mara has to rally the owners. Make an example of the Eagles. Inexusable. Mortensen is highly respected.

This is the most negative barrage of comments I have received about a game’s lack of integrity and that’s not even counting Giants-related bias.
Consensus from those in NFL and who have been associated with it: Disgrace.
That’s not the fault of the Washington Football Team.
this will grow, you have to nip this in the bud..teams will start doing this for games at a time...

Nothing will ever happen. They lost by 6 points and wanted to get some new guys some playing time to see what they had. League can't argue that.

No they wont, Pederson just lost his locker room and i guarantee players around the NFL will not want to play for him..
He fucked himself tonight
There are integrity rules...this clearly falls under that.
As far as I’m concerned, not enough bad things can happen to him professionally going forward for me.
You dont think the betting public will be up in arms...this doesnt look good.
Exactly. Much ado...
They played Sudfeld over Hurts. If you leave Hurts in, you can say they were trying. But bringing in that scrub, made it so blatant that they were trying not to win. Add to it the 4th down decision in a 3 point game.
Nevertheless, it would take a lot of heat from the media and the fans for the league to do anything about it.

Well, there has always been discussion about making draft position a lottery pick - at least for 1st round. And this will definitely add fuel to that fire.
This system just doesn’t work anymore.
Yes, my awareness of it is peaked because it hurt the Giants this time.
But now that the light is on it is clear that the league must - and I mean must - find a way to remove any benefit from losing EVER.
Always play to win.
That wasn’t the premise of the thread.
Best of luck getting Goodell to admit that.
You would have a better chance of having your neighbor sentenced to 10 years in prison for having his dog pee on your lawn.
