AZ_Eaglesfan Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Winning doesn't do anything. We have the tiebreaker vs the Saints and we don't vs the Niners. The only way us winning helps us is if the Niners and Saints both lose which is of course possible, but still basically changes nothing. It is actually just better to be 9-8 and have a slightly better draft slot than it is to win a meaningless game. Sure play the first quarter and try to get out of the slow start funk we have been in, but after that just sit the important guys. Yeah you can get hurt at anytime but obviously you are less likely to get hurt if you are taking less reps, and having our guys with 8 days off going into the WC with a very easy load on Saturday will help insure they feel 100% for the actual important game. And if we are missing important guys with Covid just sit everyone. If the game time isn't going to be valuable don't waste our time throwing some mix match of starters and backups out there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Fletcher is getting doubled like near the least of anyone on this graph? Hargrave is above average according to this in drawing doubles and he's 3rd in pass rush win rate only slightly behind Chris Jones and way behind Aaron Donald who is just insane.

TheRealMcCoy Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Greg Cosell said over the last month or so that Josh Sweat has been as good in the wide 9 as anybody in the league and firmly believes that he would be amongst the league leaders in sacks if he played predominantly from a wide 9 alignment.

More than draft slot potentialities, I want this team to be fresh and healthy for whoever they play in the WC game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 You think the NFL is regretting flexing this game to Saturday night? By the time Saturday hits it’ll probably be the Minshew vs. Rush showdown at the Linc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was in college during "the haul" and wasn't paying too much attention to the forum. What was that? Was that when we traded Sammy Sleeves?

Ryan Kerrigan thinking he'll finally get a chance to get a sack but will ultimately be ineffective against the backup LT. I really wish he had stuff left in the tank when he came here. Maybe we had a different view on him since he was like the only thorn in the side of Lane's career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Haul" was a meme created by a thread in NFL Gen at the start of 2017 when a Browns poster posted a thread called "Carson Wentz.... or this Haul?". It was basically just a discussion thread about the Wentz trade a year later but the meme grew as Carson became an MVP candidate and we basically just regularly trolled the thread with pictures of UHauls and other ridiculous memes until Webby came into our forum and basically just told us to stop. Was the best meme from the SB year for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would've been Cleveland and Cincy had the Browns not played Monday. But that too will be without QBs. They'll take the two big market viewerships and be happy. Could actually be a fun game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
