Its funny you mention that. I had a conversation over Christmas, that the draft should be in reverse order strictly to ever prevent tanking. The Super Bowl winner should get the #1 pick, you'll still achieve parity due to the salary cap, as the top teams will have to manage top draft choice money.That's a concern. The other concern is once you set precedent like this around the league, others act with dishonor and you need lotteries and stuff like that to prevent outright tanking.
Nfl deserves it. Should be an 8-8 rule to make the playoffs. Oh well.Great decision by the NFL to flex this game to tonight. Captivating stuff.
Primetime next Saturday night, get ready!!By far the worst conference in the history of the league and they still shove these nfc east garbage primetime games down our throats
Maybe he is trying to get fired.Collinsworth dropping the R word
Oh come on. It's only the 3rd time it's happened. They'll never get the owners to agree giving up a home playoff game.Nfl deserves it. Should be an 8-8 rule to make the playoffs. Oh well.
I remember myself and other Bulls fans going after the team and Tom Thibadou for keeping Rose in a game they had already locked up. His first ACL injury never came back the same player. We all look back on it and go why was he in there today still.Oh yeah we all know this, but if Hurts suffers a serious injury that affects him for next year, now what? You played a promising rookie in a meaningless game just because. Next offseason is key for Philadelphia to have Hurts and Wentz in camp and evaluate who is the QB. Nobody will remember this game in September 2021.
No, I was actually chasing this game with the gin.Are you sure it wasn’t the shot?
Not sure about anyone else but I always had no issue with Ron Rivera. Happy for him and even Alex SmithBeautiful!
Congrats Washington Redskins on 2020 Division title.
I think you mean division, not conference.By far the worst conference in the history of the league and they still shove these nfc east garbage primetime games down our throats
Two true feel good stories with the health issues they've overcome.Not sure about anyone else but I always had no issue with Ron Rivera. Happy for him and even Alex Smith
But another, better team would get in. Doesn’t really matter this year since Arizona was 8-8 but imagine if a wild card team missed out while going 10-6 and a 6-10 team made it.Oh come on. It's only the 3rd time it's happened. They'll never get the owners to agree giving up a home playoff game.

That's really bad. On some level, you watch the sport knowing and hoping that everyone is giving it 110 percent regardless of other concerns. Tonight, the organization gagged and bound its own players. Pretty ####ty.I don’t think I’ve ever seen an NFL team purposely lose to a division rival.
We've had this discussion 2 times before and both times the bad team won. Not saying that happens this time but it's so rare it's not even worth discussing.But another, better team would get in.

Washington is fine, they have a super legit defense but they may be like the 20th best team in the league.
Gase deserved a contract extension for rallying the troops for 2 holiday season victories.Where's the anger for the Jets tanking?
It’s a special skillRon Rivera has now won a division twice with a losing record.
The Org did their very best to tank this year especially keeping Gase. Don't get mad at the Eagles here. Maybe your team should've handled business in season. Relying on a 6 win team to back into the playoffs you probably don't deserve to be in the playoffs anywayThe Jets tanked? In what world did they tank? They beat the Rams and the Browns back-to-back and tried hard to win at an organizational level. You can't be serious.
I'm a Jets fan, chief. You're being a tool. And a fool. They busted their ### to win two. Gase did everything he could to keep the best players they had on the field instead of evaluating talent. Case in point: running Frank Gore all year instead of L'amical Perine.The Org did their very best to tank this year especially keeping Gase. Don't get mad at the Eagles here.

Especially Ron in this environment. Way more disadvantaged and could contract Covid easier. High risk person there.Two true feel good stories with the health issues they've overcome.
That team won the wild card game versus Arizona that year. I went to that game with a buddy as tickets were below face because it was cold and rainy. Really fun game of muffed punts and general moistness.Ron Rivera has now won a division twice with a losing record.
Probably not, and it doesn’t matter this year but a 6-10 team almost made it. Just sits ugly with me. There’s very few of these spots.We've had this discussion 2 times before and both times the bad team won. Not saying that happens this time but it's so rare it's not even worth discussing.
The tanking talk is kind of rich then.I'm a Jets fan, chief. You're being a tool.
Next year division winner will most likely have 11. Just the way things go.Probably not, and it doesn’t matter this year but a 6-10 real almost made it. Just sits ugly with me.
Miami had their playoff game today and loss by 30.Give Miami the 7 seed in the NFC
You're obtuse. They tanked nothing. They could have sat guys and instead trotted out Gore and Darnold and other stiffs instead of evaluating their third string QB like you just did on national television.The tanking talk is kind of rich then.
He was pretty bad tonight all things considered.Hurts had the one real bad pass to the guy wide open in the end zone, but he also had around 5 passes he threw eight on target that went incomplete only because of great coverage. I can’t believe they took him out.
Most likely?Next year division winner will most likely have 11. Just the way things go.
