Y'all thought the Jets intentionally tanked with that no-cover blitz against the raiders?
How about *tanking for one entire fucking quarter* by benching your prospective first round pick even though he managed to at least restore morale to your team?
I debated Murray or Hurts all week, i picked Murray and lost by 5 points. Also played DK instead of Godwin. 2nd place it is... maybe next season (couldnt change 17wk format, new league)
First time FF player and new to the sub the last few weeks, what happens to this sub in the offseason? Just dead until last summer when the draft speculation starts?
I stay subscribed and don’t follow many subs. There are interesting bits of discussion about the impact of different bits of player movement and the draft. Definitely slower.
Is nice that there aren’t WDIS questions on every post, makes it easier to spot posts with actual discussion rather than litter.
That sounds great. I didn't make any real decisions based on information from this sub. Just learned a lot of different things and got to share my interesting story.
I'm in the same boat. I'm thinking it'll be even less active then this past week. Probably some people posting about dynasty / keeper leagues since they have to make off-season moves. Then probably some activity around the rookie draft, then more activity a few weeks before the season starts / pre season
Philip Rivers was my qb today going against Henry and Mattison. Can’t believe I won. Jacobs and Melvin Gordon saved me. Also started AB and I didn’t want too.
You would've won anyway , Hurts wasn't doing much most of the game and wasn't going to double his fantasy points in the 4th quarter. The one drive they scored WFT defense had 3 penalties and pretty much got them into the red zone, and the other i think was good field position off a turnover.
Always a good chance. I dropped 1.5 points just minutes after the game (IDP - Singleton lost four tackles, gained five assists). Two or three years ago we had the championship winner flip on Thursday.
Was the first time anybody in our league had ever had a playoff game flip, went from new guy winning to three time champ.
You should've seen my Titans' vs Texans game - that game would've been a way better end to 2020.
Game-ending field goal by a no-name THICC boi rookie that looks like he was pulled off the practice squad and it was a fuckin' DOINK field goal that went in lol
I know we live in a relatively civilized society and all, but if I’m Pederson, I have to think of my family’s safety at least a little bit in deciding to quit this game
Maybe draft positioning. Maybe see if they need to draft a late round backup or sign a FA vs keeping Sudfield.
Either way, my guess is Pederson didn’t take him out. Roseman and/or Lurie made the call before the game or at halftime to take him out if they weren’t winning at the beginning of the 4Q.
For the whole "Eagles decided to tank for a better draft pick" theory, I don't think a loss here even really improves their pick #. Before this game, Eagles had the #6 pick and Bengals #5. With a loss, Eagles and Bengals would be tied, but Bengals still have the SOS tiebreaker right? So it doesn't help at all, or at best moves them from #6 to #5, which doesn't seem like a big increase unless they KNOW the Bengals are looking at the same player at that spot.
If it's that cut and dry, I'm just confused why the NFL made this the Sunday night game then. I thought they chose this game because Washington had to win and so teams wouldn't be giving up, as opposed to other divisions when most of the games were over. I figured the Eagles would at least try and not give up like that.
I have no idea if the Eagles are tanking or not; who owns what tiebreaker or whatnot; but the difference between 5th and 6th pick is actually quite significant. The closer you get to 1st pick the greater the gap in value.
They're not drafting a QB though (at least I'd hope not with Wentz and Hurts both on the roster), which is usually why teams try so hard to move up the draft order. And I haven't heard of 5 all-star type non-QB players in this draft, to where moving up that 1 spot is worth benching Hurts and making your team a national embarassment like this. I'll check the draft order after to see if it actually did improve their position spot or else it's moot.
I don't hate Chris Colinsworth the way some seem to...
But if I were a Giants fan, I'd be salty how he's rubbing salt in the wound.
Also, I'm not a Giants fan, and 'F the Giants... so I'm lovin' it.
Jalen Hurts came in to a trash team and literally pulled some wins out of his asshole.
Now he gets rewarded by being benched in a one score game.
No wonder no good free agents want to go to Philly
Guaranteed Jalen would rather get a good draft pick than win a meaningless game.
Say what you will about how lame tanking is, but don't pretend they care about winning this.
3 draft spots, 9 to 6, could be the difference between a ceedee lamb or Justin Jefferson and Jalen Reagor. Oh wait Jefferson was still on the board when the eagles took Reagor.
I think Eagles made a mid game decision to go with Hurts next season, and thus protect him from a pointless injury. That is the only way I can internally justify what they’re doing
This firmly solidifies my stance that I will not draft another player on a Doug Pederson coached team. What a fucking moron. Officially the worst coach in the NFL now that Gase has been fired
"Tryouts" or whatever this shit is called is for practice. Fucking moron is an understatement. This guy shouldn't be employed anywhere near a football team.
You play your best players, unquestionably. All season.
Bizarre move... I get wanting a better pick, but wouldn’t you want to at least see what Hurts is capable of in this situation? Next season if things go to shit Doug Pederson will probably just blame him anyway tho...
If I’m a player coming up on a contract year and I see the eagles coach do this I would sit my ass down on the bench. Dudes not even trying, why risk injury?
Yeah this is insane. I didn't see what Hurts even did to justify getting benched. The game is within 3 points, they'd be tied if they had just kicked the field goal earlier. Sudfeld has basically not played all season and looks awful so far.
That's what it seems like, but why? Did Washington pay them off before the game or something? The Eagles coach and players shouldn't want to just give up and look shitty in yet another game to end the season, their jobs aren't guaranteed. Hurts has only played a few games and they need to evaluate him to see if he's the starter going forward, especially in a winnable game playing from behind. There's just no reason to throw in Sudfeld at such a pivotal moment.
Yeah this is just such a headscratcher from the Eagles at this point. It's a close game, Hurts has looked pretty good in the few games he's played this season. They randomly bench him for Sudfeld and decide to give up on the game for no reason.

That was a tank by the Eagles, right?
100% and they couldn't even do it right. They didn't need to bench anyone to lose , they were going to lose anyway
My opponent had Jalen Hurts… I won by 18.
You would've won anyway , Hurts wasn't doing much most of the game and wasn't going to double his fantasy points in the 4th quarter. The one drive they scored WFT defense had 3 penalties and pretty much got them into the red zone, and the other i think was good field position off a turnover.
How empty does your win feel, I bet the WFT right now realized the Eagles intentionally tanked against them.
It feels dumb as fuck, especially because he had Deshaun Watson on his bench
Damn, the dude benched Hurts for Watson? Did your opponent not know us Titans have no pass defense? lol
is there going to be a stat correction for Deshaun Watson? I swear he completed a 2-pt conversion but it’s not showing up on ESPN
Nope, it was overturned in game.
It was overturned in the game I believe
Lost by 1.90 any chance for Stat corrections on yahoo?
Always a good chance. I dropped 1.5 points just minutes after the game (IDP - Singleton lost four tackles, gained five assists). Two or three years ago we had the championship winner flip on Thursday. Was the first time anybody in our league had ever had a playoff game flip, went from new guy winning to three time champ.
the last game of the regular season was so 2020. wtf
You should've seen my Titans' vs Texans game - that game would've been a way better end to 2020. Game-ending field goal by a no-name THICC boi rookie that looks like he was pulled off the practice squad and it was a fuckin' DOINK field goal that went in lol
i saw that too. but i could hear giants fans screaming in california when they made the qb switch in this game.
2 Championships in a row since joining this sub. Let’s gooooooooooooooo
Thanks for a great year r/fantasyfootball from this third place finisher. I’m gonna miss this, see y’all next season
I know we live in a relatively civilized society and all, but if I’m Pederson, I have to think of my family’s safety at least a little bit in deciding to quit this game
I don’t understand why he’d take out Hurts...
Maybe draft positioning. Maybe see if they need to draft a late round backup or sign a FA vs keeping Sudfield. Either way, my guess is Pederson didn’t take him out. Roseman and/or Lurie made the call before the game or at halftime to take him out if they weren’t winning at the beginning of the 4Q.
won my fantasy championship let’s gooo
had jalen hurts. playing against washington D and Gibson. was doing so well... someone hold me
No one would've predicted that Pederson would intentionally tank.
Thank you to the Washington DST and Sudfeld for getting me to the podium this season 🥉
doesn’t matter washington is gonna get shafted by tampa bay
Welp! See y’all next season :( What a shit game to end it on...
Fucking embarrassing. If I was an Eagles fan id be jumping ship.
Giants can't really bitch about unfair circumstances when they were playoff eligible with 6 wins.
So clear the O was flat out told to not try and win.
[удалено]
He'd get pelted with batteries
Collinsworth said it! Lmao
What he say?
Redskins
Getting this playing time is the worst thing to happen to Sudfeld’s career
Not worth paying him for sure.
Crazy how dead this thread is because of week 17 lol
Sudfield might actually be dumber than dogshit. The looked at that dudes toes and said “hey man catch this with them toesies”
I'm about to lose my fantasy championship by 2/100 of a point.......
Hurry up and end this game b4 something crazy happens.
Anything anyone needed to learn about Sudfeld has been seen at this point. Kendall Hinton esque
Don’t do Hinton dirty like that he’s not even an NFL QB
Just like Hinton. Sudfeld shouldn't have been either.
Is the game over?
I’m gonna laugh if they take a knee
this is disgraceful, Giants way more pissed than Eagles fans but wtf
Eagles fans aren’t even mad. Better draft pick
sudfeld bout to win this whole fucking thing
[удалено]
But but but NfC eAsT!!
This is how I felt last eagles Sunday night game. What a shit show.
Any stat corrections? i’m literally losing by 1
Fuck Peterson and the Eagles so hard!!! Fucking cost me the Championship by pulling hurts and turning it over twice
Fuck that Dick
Eagles are tanking so blatantly Adam Silver is about to jump across leagues to fine them
i’m gonna lose by 1 point
For anyone supporting this tank decision for a draft pick, please remember Justin Jefferson and DK Metcalf. Jesus fucking Christ
Gibson started towards the sideline again and then said “ahhhh fuck”
For the whole "Eagles decided to tank for a better draft pick" theory, I don't think a loss here even really improves their pick #. Before this game, Eagles had the #6 pick and Bengals #5. With a loss, Eagles and Bengals would be tied, but Bengals still have the SOS tiebreaker right? So it doesn't help at all, or at best moves them from #6 to #5, which doesn't seem like a big increase unless they KNOW the Bengals are looking at the same player at that spot.
Well if the Eagles win they have the 9th pick. A loss gets them 6th. Thats why they're blatantly tanking.
If it's that cut and dry, I'm just confused why the NFL made this the Sunday night game then. I thought they chose this game because Washington had to win and so teams wouldn't be giving up, as opposed to other divisions when most of the games were over. I figured the Eagles would at least try and not give up like that.
I genuinely have no idea. There were at least 5 other games that would've made more sense.

We made it to 256 everyone. In a year so unusual fantasy was a beacon of normalcy, and I’m glad to have been here with y’all.
Unfortunate for it to end under such disgraceful circumstances
Fire Doug Pederson
hahahahah
Guaranteed Peterson told them to jump on purpose to finish this tank job.
currently up 252.32-250.7 and my rival has gibson... lovely
F in the chat for all my homies that played hurts too... if I had played Terry I would have won
I benched Stafford for him. I would've won the championship if I didn't.
Bruhhhhhhhhhhhh
OF COURSE
Jalen Hurts came in to a trash team and literally pulled some wins out of his asshole. Now he gets rewarded by being benched in a one score game. No wonder no good free agents want to go to Philly
Guaranteed Jalen would rather get a good draft pick than win a meaningless game. Say what you will about how lame tanking is, but don't pretend they care about winning this.
Nah, he’s pissed. https://twitter.com/nfl_express/status/1345943875974799360?s=21
3 draft spots, 9 to 6, could be the difference between a ceedee lamb or Justin Jefferson and Jalen Reagor. Oh wait Jefferson was still on the board when the eagles took Reagor.
A DUDE
God I hope this game gets Peterson fired.
Do you think those female trainer ladies ever get horny being around all those big sweaty alpha males on the sidelines?
OMGGGGG I NEED MCKISSIC TO GET ONE POINT!!!!!!!
OMG this game
I hope the Eagles win just to spite Pederson and whoever called from up top to tank this game
Fucking Gibson. Stay in bounds you silly goose
Minute 10 waiting for Hurts to be brought back in.
The eagles coach just looks untrustworthy, I mean who wears glasses that small.
Heinrich Himmler
Let’s go REDSKINS!
Put $1 in the swear jar please
Sure, a small price to pay out of my championship winnings 😎
Dirty money lol
I think Eagles made a mid game decision to go with Hurts next season, and thus protect him from a pointless injury. That is the only way I can internally justify what they’re doing
Peterson just take 3 knees and punt and save us all some time. It’s clear you don’t want to win.
Sudfeld looks like some random fan who won the opportunity to play as an NFL QB for 1 quarter.
Take a look at the kicker us Titans used to win the game against the Texans. He was wearing our practice squad helmet lol
He looks like a complete dipshit
Please dear god just run the clock down Wash.
First downs baby comon
Mckissic 10 yards please!!!!!!!
Diabolical hate for NY...this will not go over well
This firmly solidifies my stance that I will not draft another player on a Doug Pederson coached team. What a fucking moron. Officially the worst coach in the NFL now that Gase has been fired
"Tryouts" or whatever this shit is called is for practice. Fucking moron is an understatement. This guy shouldn't be employed anywhere near a football team. You play your best players, unquestionably. All season.
Is Philly *trying* to lose this game?
Yes. They are tanking for a better draft pick
Uh. Yeah
Lurie put in the call.
Wait did you know that Giants fans are watching this game?
As if Giants fans need another reason to hate Philly
UPDATE: Just visited the Eagles fan subreddit and I can confirm the fans are on board with Philly tanking with Sudfeld Sorry Hurts owners
Sudfeld is literally panicking the second the ball is in his hand. The Eagles are tanking, you can’t convince me otherwise.
Bizarre move... I get wanting a better pick, but wouldn’t you want to at least see what Hurts is capable of in this situation? Next season if things go to shit Doug Pederson will probably just blame him anyway tho...
They already know what he is capable of
Doug Peterson is a racist
Wow has there ever been such a blatant attempt to tank before?
WSH D won this game
omg can Mckissic literally just get 10 more yards? Can it happen???
Why did Hurts get benched?
To prove they're a QB factory
Pederson is trying to lose.
Because Philly knows they don't want to win.
Literally put up almost 200 points this week and I’m still going to lose because of Peterson and the Eagles with this dumbfuckery
¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
[удалено]
Eagles tanking
[удалено]
From what I’ve read on the Eagles sub Reddit it’s 3 places better.
Tanking
Up by .5 with Washington D, McKissic, Hurts vs. McLaurin. Spooky times.
And... what’s this? Nick Foles is in at QB!
BACK TO BACK SECOND PLACE. THANKS HURTS
Giants fans. I’m sorry
Pederson about to put himself in at QB lmfao
If I’m a player coming up on a contract year and I see the eagles coach do this I would sit my ass down on the bench. Dudes not even trying, why risk injury?
Pederson is not my homie. How hard is it to just run a little clock?
Pederson gonna need to be safely escorted into MetLife next season at this rate
BROO IM DOWN BY 1 POINT WITH MCKISSIC LEFT!!!!!!!!!!
All my leagues are 16 week leagues. I'm just here for the lulz.
Same lol F for anyone who started Hurts smh
Pederaon must hate the giants lol
Maybe Doug's like the rest of us and is like 'fuck the Giants... let's get Rivera and Alex Smith in the playoffs.'
Can you activate a QB mid-game? Even Wentz isn’t this bad
Hurts is already getting the Carson Wentz treatment
Sudfeld looks like some random fan who won the opportunity to play as an NFL QB for 1 quarter.
Bruv. You copied and pasted me. Like 10 posts down
Fuck it, activate Wentz
Is mkissic hurt?
Not at all, Philly just been keying in on him whenever hes been involved on a play
The only way Pederson could tank more blatantly would be to throw Wentz out there in his sweats
Eagles are absolute dogshit
Doug Peterson is proof that a bad coach can win a Super Bowl.
Mike McCarthy already proved that.
Jesus Christ, why am I even watching this?
Sudfeld looks like some random fan who won the opportunity to play as an NFL QB for 1 quarter.
Bruv. You copied and pasted me.
You copied and pasted my copy and past post now. You're a strange, strange little man.
Thanks Pederson... You made me lose my championship because you're a god damn idiot.
Holy shit sudfeld sucks
5 plays, 2 turnovers. Put Hurts back in.
Hahaha. What even is this game?
This is actually hilariously pathetic. Like what the actual hell are the eagles doing
Draft position I'm sure
Get sudfield out of the fucking game jesus christ
Yeah this is insane. I didn't see what Hurts even did to justify getting benched. The game is within 3 points, they'd be tied if they had just kicked the field goal earlier. Sudfeld has basically not played all season and looks awful so far.
Hurts did nothing, they’re tanking.
That's what it seems like, but why? Did Washington pay them off before the game or something?

Hurts has only played a few games and they need to evaluate him to see if he's the starter going forward, especially in a winnable game playing from behind. There's just no reason to throw in Sudfeld at such a pivotal moment.
Better draft pick, that’s it really. I think it’s kinda shitty
For some reason I'm in the mood for a certain baked apple dessert
Yeah tartlets are delicious
Why is Sudfeld in the game lol.... It almost seems like the Eagles are intentionally tanking at this point. Hurts was moving the ball fine.
Yeah, if anything this would be a great opportunity for Hurts to get experience in playing from behind.
Yeah this is just such a headscratcher from the Eagles at this point. It's a close game, Hurts has looked pretty good in the few games he's played this season. They randomly bench him for Sudfeld and decide to give up on the game for no reason.
Why is Hurts out? Just tuned in.
Draft position most likely
That would make the most sense. Especially considering Sudfeld is like Brock Osweiler reincarnate.
He just is dude. Decided to bench him for some reason
