RushHour Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 This could be a lot worse than it is for the Eagles - obviously you can't replace what Wentz does for that offense, but Foles is one of the best backups in the league, with proven success in the NFL. Most teams have pure trash behind their starter, but Foles is competent at worst and could probably start for a few teams to be honest.

So a possibility the last 2 games are meaningless for the Eagles who don't play until Monday, and if so I would assume Foles would play the first half since he still needs the reps and he'd be pulled 2nd half or later, to both protect him and get the backup some reps since he's a complete unknown.

That's a good point. If they were playing at 1:00 on Sunday, I'd say we have nothing to worry about. But if they've already clinched by MNF, and especially if they get up big in the first half, I could definitely see them turning things over to Sudfeld. So I guess if you're a Foles owner you should cheer for Rodgers to sit, since that makes a Minn victory more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Week 17, especially if you're playing the following week, you want to give guys a chance to rest up. But if the Eagles rest Foles for the second half of this week and all/most of next week, then have a bye, it will mean that he will come into the playoffs having played the equivalent of less than two full games over the course of five weeks (and of course nothing the three months before that). Yes, they want to protect him, but they also need to get him some reps and keep him sharp. Anyway, I'm sure we'll hear more about their plans over the course of the week, and of course, we'll know by the time Philly kicks off whether they have anything to play for.

Stealthycat Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Who is starting Foles and over who ? I have Brady - and thinking about starting Foles. Why? I think Brady could very well have another 1 TD game .... his last 3 games have not been stellar. Also, Foles had 4 TD's last week - high attempts ....... I think PHI needs to keep it going to roll into playoffs, they want to score points. Crazy? Yeah, maybe a bit .... but its not like i'm starting Mark Sanchez here ....

Been pondering the same thing. Confidently expect 270 and 2 from Brady. If I were the favorite, I'd be more than happy to roll with that. FOles could go in a couple different directions. I tend to think the defense will dominate the Raiders and the Eagles will protect NIck a bit by heavily utilizing the running game, leading to a stat line more like 200 and 1. I could also see the Eagles letting him let it rip just to get his (and the fans') confidence up. If the defense isn't dominant (and they haven't been in a few weeks), I could easily see Foles going 320 and 3 or 4. Neither result would surprise me. Still have Brady in my lineup. IN the end, I think I'd be more upset with myself if I lost with Foles when Brady woulda won it then I would be if I did the opposite. Brady was one of the studs that got me here.

This is my dilemma and I am having trouble with it. As mentioned in the Philly thread, I can totally see the Eagles winning without needing much from Foles this week.
