i see some talk about letting up. I don't think that makes a lot of sense. We are 1 game behind the #2 seed which guarantees us 2 home games and 3 if eagles lose. If we happen to lose one of the next 2 games though i am all for resting everyone i would forfeit the remaining games lol

I don't think they're going to let up at all other than late in the 4'th quarter if we're up by multiple scores. So pretty much the same gameplan as usual other than maybe they get a little bit of extra rest after halftime against the Cards depending on how the next 2 games shake out. No way they're going to rest starters for a whole game though unless they're nursing an injury like Deebo.

Shanny was running CMC into the ground when we were beating TB 35-0. You think he's about to let up ?

I was talking to a coworker today. He seems to think that Hurts injury is being underreported. He seems to think that it is a broken collar bone and not just a shoulder sprain. What a blow that would be for them.

I don't think you can underreport a broken collar bone. That would in effect put him out for the rest of the season…

I think it's more than just a sprain though. If he does come back, he'll probably be critical of that shoulder getting hit.

We want that 2nd seed

I still think it's an extreme long shot. They can beat NO without Hurts.

I am hoping the Vikings can drop one. I have a feeling their miracle comeback is going to be the difference and they'll end up with the #2 seed. No matter. We can beat them anywhere.

NO defense won't be the issue if the lose to philly, but they make things tough for avg QBs. They have a good shot to beat them without hurts

Would they also lose the division if they lost all their games and the cowboys won all theirs?

Yes. Would be an epic collapse from #1 to 5 seed. Extremely unlikely that they finish 0-3. Probably will lose today, win next week, and then rest for 2 weeks.
Hurts will be ready for the playoffs. Although i don't know if he's going to be 100 percent.

Not sure if the extra rest will really help the Eagles other than Hurts. I think it will cause major rust in their first Playoff Game and they could get snake bitten by a hungry team like the Giants, Lions, or even the Commanders.
Outrageous how many close games the Vikings win at the end. 61 yard FG.

I believe they are now 11-0 in one-score games this season.
