I agree with Emmitt Smith

In a game that had playoff implications across the East, the Eagles made a decision that not only affected them but other teams. With a Philadelphia win, then the Giants would've been the NFC East champions.
The Eagles ended up losing 20–14, disrupting the locker room morale. Running back Miles Sanders said that no one was in favor of the quarterback switch. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that "two defensive players had to be held back from approaching [head coach Doug] Pederson" after the move was made.
In Smith's opinion, he says the game decisions mirrored society today and the problems each individual faces.
"Why are we doing the things that we're doing is the question," Smith said, "and I think it's a clear reflection of how we are as human beings in society today. We value things that are less valuable, and we give them credit for less value than they deserve."

I feel like pederson is going to get canned at some point in the off season

How many draft positions did they move up by losing?

Public: omg the Jets are idiots! What are they doing winning games ????
Also public: What the eagles did was despicable! I can’t believe they would lose intentionally

That’s a nice statement but why does switching quarterbacks relate to that? If I’m an idiot and missing something obvious that’s entirely possible but I’d like to know.

It's not like Hurts was playing well anyway 
He didn't even play

They would have moved from 6 to 9 :nice:

Laughable comparison. What the Eagles did on Sunday was act in a way that society has always acted- prioritize self-interest even if there is some collateral damage along the way

Member how horrific Emmitt Smith was on the pre-game for MNF ESPN?
I 'member.

And current div champs washington would have been 6-10 had the eagles won. Record dont matter, thats how playoffs are set up. Div winner gets in. Its one of those fluke yrs the whole div isnt very good. The point of the whole thing is integrity of the game. This was completely unprofessional.

If the nfl doesnt like it, dont incentivize losing.

People act like Pederson ordered the tank
This came from higher than him

They would have fallen below the rest of 5-11 teams since they would have been 5-10-1, so it would have been 6 -> 9

Why are they acting like Hurts wasn’t 7-20 passing?
Would they talk about this at all if it were the same rosters and records but Miami vs Buffalo

If only Evan Engram caught that pass against the Eagles. Or caught any number of those passes that directly led to picks and fumbles. But at least he made the pro bowl
