No way the 9 route to Noah Brown was the primary look. If your first look to get the 3rd down conversion Isn’t there, then take a sack. Don’t launch a prayer to Noah Brown, and if you do you better not throw it 4 foot out of bounds. Yeah, I completely agree. If it wasn’t clear, that’s exactly what I was trying to say.

WheatieMan Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 Fifth seed is a lock. Panthers or Bucs. With that out of the way I think we shut it down this week. Put Cooper in there and run the ball with a third stringer. Give Vraebel the game. If Commanders need the game the final weekend, you play starters through and knock them out. But no way you play the Titans real this week. Giants will clinch next week and have nothing to play for against the Eagles who never lose to them and certainly won't if home field is on the line.

Totally disagree. We play Thu. Wht if Hurts, Lane, and Maddox can't go for the Beagles and they lose. We have too much to fix. Play to win the damn game. They can rest when they're 6 feet under. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants and Eagles have to lose.... otherwise, Giants are resting versus Eagles. That's not a game the Giants can win more than 1/100 times.

But even if it wasn’t, they aren’t resting players for 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you treat it as the second and third preseason game where starters start but are phased out and Cooper sees significant playing time. I don't think McCarthy will do it that way, but both games will be good barometers as road games. You just call off the dogs in the second half. I would try to knock the Commanders out because that's our rival. But if Prescott is out there, then the entire o-line needs to be out there, and that's scary. Those are the positions we need to protect the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Cowboy Fan Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 The scheduling of the TNF game this weeks sucks for us. Unfortunately, we have to play this game because we don’t know what’s up with Hurts and some of the other players. The Saints could come to play spoiler and get the job done. We can’t rest on TNF expecting an eagles win on Sunday. If the Eagles clinch Sunday, then we have a decision to make for the Washington game. It’s unfortunate because I would’ve loved to rest our guys this game, then have them play a half or so vs Washington just to make sure they’re not cold going into the wildcard matchup.

The Giants will clinch the sixth seed with a win home Colts next week. That means the Eagles have to win at home against a resting Giant team. We'd be banking on both the Saints and Colts on the road the following Sunday. The division is greater than 98% lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt Giants test against a divisional rival where they got dominated last time they played. Cowboys and Commanders have both won against Eagles, Giants want a piece of that, they are coming to play, bank on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they have any shot f Eagles need the game? It's comical to think Cowboys can still will win the division barring a massive slew of injuries to Minshew, Brown, et Al.

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 This is such moot point conversation. There is zero chance they rest players against the Titans. If week 18 is meaningless, then they’ll rest players and get healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By resting, obviously starters still have to play, but you get a few series and two minute drills with the first team and then call the dogs off. Otherwise, you try to win both games with the starters. Again, I'd treat it as a 2nd and 3rd preseason game with the only incentive being to knock out the Commanders week 18. The Titan game on a short week is a lose lose situation. If guys aren't ready, they should be inactive at every opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said, or how is it safe to assume, the Giants will rest once they clinch. They're a young team and need the reps. Maybe a player or two, but certainly not a slumber party-fest rest. Evey year these convos across all the NFL teams, it's an overrated conversation fans have. Overall a vast majority of players/coaches want to win games no matter the circumstances. Players are inherently competitive, they want to win, always and often. Not trying to pound on you Wheatie, I just find these "rest players" threads every year with multiple games remaining pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, you don't have the depth to play it as a 80-man 2nd preseason game. But I don't see why Dak and the O-line need to play deep into the Titans game on a short week. These are the most critical positions in this team. If they get down early, do you go pass happy to win the game? No, you start running the football and punting instead of going for it in a grey area situation. Finish the game under three hours.

Nah, you play to win , don’t know what happens on Sunday . If Eagles win, then rest week 18, if they lose , Cowboys have a shot, even if it’s the slimmest of chances to win the East Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
