These hammer heads, AR and Vick, are playing for their own selfish futures. Their success can only hurt the Philadelphia Eagles future.

It has always been about Reid and his ego. I just cannot believe his blatant disregard for this team and its future.

AR should be starting Brown and Lewis at backs,and perserving McCoy's health.The younger players should play on d and o. This is a fine opportunity to evaluate ability and provide experience.

The Eagels are going to win and that jo will jump up a  half inch off the ground like someone baked him a cake. Then in a week AR will return to San Diego and leave us the 8th pick instead of 4. He will not give a shiz about it because e will be looking forward to his next post.

As a fan this suxs.

So basically what your saying is ... they shouldnt even try to win the game? They should lose on purpose for the "team" ? LOL GTFOH!!

You think the Eagles are going to win this game? I doubt it. /thread

Seriously?  Reid has actually done right by the team the second half of the year.  He started Foles which isn't a move by a guy just concerned about his future and winning games.  That's getting the rookie a chance and the team a chance to evaluate him.  He didn't need to cut ties with Washburn and Babin so the misused/underused guys on the line could get a shot (Graham for instance).  And in case you missed it young players are all over the place on this team right now.  For one we're one of the youngest teams in the NFL and we're playing rookies all over the place.

McCoy playing is basically his own choice.  He's a football player.  He wants to play.  And really how much work are any of the RBs going to get?  This is still Reid we're talking about.  Him Vick and the rest of the coaches/players whether they're going to be here or not probably don't give a ish about the draft pick.  They want to win.  Its their job and how they're wired.

And weirdly they do have a chance to win this game not because of anything we're going to do/not do.  The Giants are playing like ish.  Maybe even worse than the Eagles have this year as unbelievable as that is but they got spanked far worse than we were by the Falcons and they got their asses handed to them by one of the few teams we beat this year in the Ravens.  They're a mess right now.

The Eagles winning meaningless games at the end of the season is hardly unprecedented - see last year.

maybe this game means a little something to the players too. I want a better draft pick and all but this team should give everything it has to win this game and knock the effin giants out of the playoffs.

[Surraven]

This year's draft sucks anyhow.. so who cares. Plus you have two options at whos picking 1st round.. either reid if he stays or a new head coach to the nfl that has never played at nfl level pick a guy. Any way you look at it, i'm almost positive anyone we draft 1st will be a bust anyhow.

No ,they should play younger guys. If they win so be it.

Instead they are playing with a pathetic desperation, not for the betterment of the team but themselves..

Too little too late. To me this is like the kid who doesn't study for his test and panics on his/her way into the exam.

Part of this years failures are the players fault.

He made the move in desparation. Nothng else was working. It was not nnoble. He has hit rock bottom and was pulling at straws.

The coach needs to coach and do whats best for the team. If mccoy blows out his knee on Sunday and is gone next season i wonder if you wiill feel he same. I love watching Mccoy play but not in a meanless game where he could be lost and prolong a rebuild due to key injury. Jmho

The giant have a very talented roster because they drafted well in the years where they finished poorly.
A win against them that has no meaning seems like winning the battle and losing the war.

I love to beat the giants but if we can trade back 4 spots and pick up an addition 2rder instead of drafting 4 spots back because. We beat the giants to go 5 -11. Jmho

[UK-Giantsfan]

i agree The Birds will probably beat the pathetic Giants .......and then keep Andy and Vick .........nightmare scenario for you guys

I agree that this years draft has below average talent and I certainly believe drafting 8th instead of 4th will make little difference.  My concern is Howies involvment in the draft at any level.  I think they can get a decent player anywhere in the top 10.  The key is who decides on the pick.

[wussbasket]

the lowest the Eagles can go is 6th overall i believe, the highest being 4th. with this weak draft class, i dont think its much of a difference this year. plus last game when shady and brown split reps i thought reid did it pretty evenly.

Buffalo, Cleveland, possible titans

Some team are desparate for qb. they will reach. jarvis, luke , and star are exceptional.

Teams will want to move.  The lower signing bonus makes moving more paletable. Trades will happen we will get value for suchna high pick. Imo

I love beating the Giants but i want a team able to compete for a SB more.
