    Someone help me here. Why does Philly have nothing to play for?

    What benefit does it do going to play the cowboys with the same record?

    If they win tonight, aren't they a full game up on the boys?

    WTF am I missing here?

    Whether they win tonight or not, next week is for the Division Title. If they finish with the same record as Dallas, they will lose because of dropping both games to Dallas. If they win, then obviously they finish with a better record. Tonight's outcome has no effect on Philadelphia's playoff life ...

    They would lose the tie breaker if they lose to the Cowboys. Dallas already beat them this year.

    No way the Eagles don't show up, should be a competitive game.
    Nobody said anything about "packing it in", it is a matter of it being the Eagles backups vs. the Bears starters in the second half (if not sooner).

    Philly is playing for the 3rd seed. Allot to play for that's why the line isn't moving.

    Yes they would be a fullgame up, but boys beat them already this year, So boys win again next week, both teams have same record, but boys won head to head 2-0///////

    Yep, I finally wrapped my head around how possible it is for the eagles to sit their guys due to the division thing.

    Goddamn Washington, why couldn't you have won?

    3 seed is still something to play for, no reason to concede a game.

    Means nothing if they miss the playoffs entirely by losing next week. Next week should be their first priority.

    It means allot because no team plans on losing next week. One week at a time in the NFL. Your wrong and I respectfully disagree THATS WHY THE LINE ISNT MOVING. BOL

    I am on the bears betting, whatever, not even concerned about that. It's an action bet.

    I am in the championship game of a significant money league, them playing this game is the difference to winning hundreds or thousands. FMMFL!

    What do you mean? It is simple common sense. Just play starters long enough to keep them sharp and then get them out of there.

    To say that Philly should rest players this week and then come out next week 100% to try to win a division is ridiculous. They will play just as hard this week as next week to try to get the 3rd seed, which is a huge difference than a 4th seed. If your comment was true the line would have moved to a PK before kickoff. The comments in this thread are quite funny. BOL to everyone.
