It moved Philly from 9-6

That is fairly significant. Doubt it had anything to do with WFT vs Giants future picks.

I get that but why even play Hurts if that was the case? Start Sudfield or whatever his name is and call it a day. Don't play Hurts 3 quarters pass up on a game tying fg then go to Sudfield in the 4th.

Yeah, I think it was a crappy move. At least how they did it.

But they are definitely evaluating Hurts too.

If they wanted to get Sudfield reps should have been like 2nd quarter or entire 2nd half.

Just makes it look too much like they were trying to lose.

 

[tlance]

True enough. Would think with the merry go round they have had at wide receiver they'd target Chase or Smith

Maybe.

Smith is really good.

Philly has a lot of holes though. Could go many different directions.

Chiefs over Bills and Saints...(my own personal bias)

Fortunately its the Bears if they dont

True.

Trubisky is hard to predict though.

He can single handedly lose a game for sure, but then he can also get hot and put up 30 points in a hurry.

 

[bksballer89]

You think Kamara and Thomas are back for Sunday?

Thomas for sure assuming what they said when they placed him on IR was true. Once Kamara is asymptomatic then i see no reason why can't go

I just hope they learned from that wc game vs the Vikings last year. Can't start slow in the playoffs and put yourself in a hole

Vernon ruptured Achilles

Dude finally healthy and having a good season

Sucks

 

[dtgold88]

To say this person hates Doug Pederson is likely an understatement. @SteelersPride @Stakesarehigh

ouch. He'd never ad mit it but getting 3rd pick instead of 6th not a bad thing..other than for perceived integrity of league.

 

[dtgold88]

Only thing that makes sense is Philly seeing Washington as a bigger threat thus giving them the worse pick?

That's a weird one to tank

Think was more improving their own pick...heard went from 6th to 3rd.

edit - my bad. was going by what I heard on an ESPN show (maybe Keyshawn?). Did think 3rd seemed high.

I get resting guys but to just stop competing in the middle of a game is pretty bad.

That said...

You won six fucking games NY. You don't get to complain

Knew way he went off had to be bad. Really does suck for him. Contract year, too.

Yea was hoping he'd take a discount to come back. Going to need to find a replacement

don't know schedule off hand but heard he can go on sunday, not Saturday. solid replacement for him either way. Thomas a different story.

soft and a faker?

I kid...I kid.

Agree could have seen him back if he'd have taken a deal with nothing guaranteed beyond next season.

I don't think the problem was so much with what he did as much as how he tried to explain it.

do they re-seed after each round?

I thought it would be the 2 an 3 (Bills and Steelers on one side), and the 1 and 4 on the other side (Chiefs and Titans)

I thought, if the Browns can somehow pull off the W, that they would get the Bills/Colts winner.

like i said- i have no clue if they just play the bracket out or re-seed after each round thoguh.

tbh if the Browns pull it off- id prob. rather play the Chiefs than the Bills at this point in round 2.
