Frank, What did you make of the decision to bench Jalen Hurts for the WFT game in week 17. Giants not impressed apparently lol
eh....eagles are a mess now. sad to see them go from top to bottom. there should not be discussion of firing gm or head coach just three seasons removed from superbowl victory. they even made playoffs in every season since
this was certainly a bizarre season. i say this year doesnt really count. games being played on wednesday afternoon? teams being forced to play without a quarterback? and no fans. 2020 nfl season gets an asterisk for sure
was a bit confused when wentz was benched. but it began to make sense when i thought of it. i figured hurts was drafted as a trade chip, so why not show him off in a lost season. plus, hurts is mobile, which makes sense when o line is in crumbles. it wouldve been strange not to put hurts in imo
the 70 million that is guaranteed to wentz hasnt even begun to be paid yet. not sure how they could get out of that unless there is a mutual decision to nullify contract which i am not sure is a thing but cant see why not if it is mutual. depends on how bad he wants a trade i suppose
as far as hurts being benched in forth quarter down 3.....i am not a proponent of tanking, but i didnt see anything to play for besides honor/pride. on paper, a loss was beneficial as they moved from 9th pick to 6th pick
they shouldve rolled out the bench to start. why play starters in a game that doesnt matter? there are no fans being robbed a chance to see their favorite player. buccaneers kept evans on the field too long and then he almost got a serious injury. if your post season positioning is locked in, even if it doesnt involve positioning at all, play the bench.....its not like the bench is made of a bunch of mechanics and plumbers
generally, i agree with herm edwards and jason kelce, but in this circumstance i am not bothered by it
the best part is how salty the giant fan base is about it all. maybe they should have won more than 6 games and not relied on another team winning in order to make the playoffs...just saying
nfc east is in sad shape. there was a time that the nfc east was pretty much the premier league of nfl. this will undoubtedly fuel eagles/giants rivalry
nfl doesnt have the draw it once did for me. i see more insurance commercials than i do first downs. i hardly watched any games this year...i do listen on radio tho.....eagles radio team is fantastic....but i just dont get upset about eagles losing like i once did, which is good because i wouldve had an angry year
if eagles choose a qb with 6th pick....ha
