Anyone benching Foles now that Dallas won? (1 Viewer)

My game is tied. We both have one guy left He has Marshall so I am contemplating starting Cutler over Foles

 
I'm currently starting Foles.

I have Kaep on the bench and Cutler as a free agent. My current game is a dead heat.

Shut my eyes and pick a starter?

I don't think the Eagles will be sitting anyone or giving up this game.

They can still get the 3rd seed and a home playoff game if they win this week and next.

Foles owners should be okay as long as the rain holds off or doesn't get to bad
The seed won't matter, they're playing for nothing tonight. However, I expect to see starters in for the first half at least.

I agree and the reason I agree is because I need to agree or else I'm completely screwed.

Gotta go Cutler. Any Marshall points won't sting as much because it will be Cutler points too, and a teams QB should outscore the teams top WR... its a safer play if you're tied.

Foles could go off, but he could have a dud or rest the 2nd half. Bears have lots on the line, they will play for the win and Cutler will be throwing.

 
Detroit just lost...don't think Chicago has much to play for either.
Chi has to everything to play for now. Start all Bears....Bears win div tonight just by beating the Eagles....Bears have to just win one game to win the div now ..... they cannot lose their div tonight even if they lose.

 
If Chip Kelly rests the Eagles starters and they lose, they'd have to beat Dallas after losing two in a row. Why put your team in a position like that?

The team and the fans would love to see a 3 seed with a home playoff game.

They aren't going to gain some huge advantage by sitting anyone tonight.
The team and the fans would love a 4 seed and a home playoff game almost as much.

 
I have Foles and Cutler in 2 separate teams for the championship. I am projected to lose both by 17 and 12. I have Marshall on one team and Jeffery one the other. I made the switch but more so because I am losing.

I'm sure the 3 seed would be extremely happy to not have to play at Seattle in the second round also

Almost, but not as much. :)

As a fan here in Philly I just don't see much risk of Chip sitting guys unless the game got out of hand or something.

But if you had both Foles and Cutler and were worried I think they both have an equal chance to put up nice numbers tonight if the rain holds off so Cutler might not be a bad move.
I'm sorry, I must be braindead today. Somehow it wasn't making sense to me that they'd still get a home game for the 3 or 4 seed. Sorry, total brain fart. lol My Bad. :doh:

I still had no vibe that they'd want to rest anyone and Chip said they wouldn't...but take everything I say now with a grain of salt. :lol:
haha all good, I was wondering why you were stressing the home game. Looking at it now, it's looking like it would shape up to be:

3 Seed: Home vs New Orleans THEN Away vs Carolina

4 Seed: Home vs San Fran THEN Away vs Seattle

Both are tough roads, I don't think either really has an advantage.

 
Lets just hope the game stays competitive and they keep passing some. We need Chicago to score.
Agree. Put fantasy perspective and the fact that I'm a Giants homer aside...if they're up 4 TD's in the 2nd half and McCoy and Foles are still in the game, then Kelly needs to have a sit down convo with the GM after this game. They've shown that they're clicking at a playoff caliber level.
