I have never in my life seen a HC throw a game like that. Pederson is a disgrace and so are all the Eagles media hacks who agreed with his decision. I always questioned his decision making as a coach. Not sure how anyone could play for a coach who has such little regard for the league.

This was so blatant and obvious the league really could come down hard on the team. Might end up forcing Laurie's hand .. Really feel bad for the players on that team that were busting their asses You could see it on their faces at the end of tbe game

Just as bad as bounty gate IMO and should be handled as such And I speak as someone indifferent about us making the playoffs at 6-10

I don’t think he makes that decision without assurances from ownership. Then again, I’m not so sure Eagles’ ownership anticipated this backlash. This is a pretty big stain on the franchise. Only the reaction to Spygate was comparable/worse than this.

I can't sit here and say I'd be pissed if I were an Eagles fan. I'd like to think I would be as a fan of the NFL and the purity of the sport that I'd be upset, but I don't know.
Either way, what happened last night was pathetic. Honestly I'm not even that upset because if we handled our own business earlier in the season we would've been fine, but what Pederson did was a disgrace to the game and the players involved.
It won't happen, but I'd love to see the NFL come down on them in some way.

Only the reaction to Spygate was comparable/worse than this. Thats what I was going to say. How do we know ownership didnt want this? Better pick and knock the Giants out. Also, maybe helping Ron Rivera out. Reminds me of when Mara signed off on starting Geno Smith. The backlash was huge.

as usual fans of every other team are just laughing at us. we end the season on a high note win but also with this philly thing still manage to be the butt of jokes.
man I want the giants back in the mix for a championship again, even as we begin to climb out of the sludge we're still taking hits.
OF COURSE the eagles do this last night, like our destiny tied to the eagles was going to end well....

Our players need to STFU.

And as blatant a tank as you can imagine.

It's Philthydelphia Eagles. Is anyone else really surprised by anything that goes on in that stadium and with that franchise?

And they have no way to truly find evidence they were intentionally tanking the game.

There’s a HUGE difference between deactivating half your starters PRE-GAME versus pulling starters in a competitive 4th quarter game. You can gloss over the pregame deactivations as simple health concern roster moves but the purposeful benching of your best player is as embarrassing as it gets. And to say you wanted to assess a 4th year backup is hogwash.....even if that was the case what more do you want to see after an INT and lost fumble?!?!? Yet they rolled him back out there three more times.
Absolutely appalling.

There is no hard evidence they were tanking it. They were "evaluating". And even if there was, is it against the rules? Id say that us fans, and players, save this anger and aim it towards losing the first Eagles matchup that now cost us the division.

I get that you want to control your own destiny and of course I’m biased as a Giants fan but to not even try to win a division rival game on prime time is wrong. Yeah yeah Pederson can do what he wants and doesn’t owe the Giants anything but Pederson owes his players who played their asses off to win. He owes Eagles fans and NFL fans league wide 100% effort to win a game on prime time not blatantly lose on purpose..,

Pederson can't go back to coach that team. He totally lost that locker room and would not be welcome in any other locker room. I feel bad for the players because no player is out there trying to tank. They're out there busting their asses and putting themselves in harm's way in a gladiator sport. I don't ever recall a head coach intentionally trying to lose a game either until last night. Damn, what a slap in the faces of competition, integrity, and respect.

The League MUST take action. Their integrity is at stake. What a sham. Plus, when will be the next thrown game. If, the HC doesn’t like a team, opposing coach or owner The NFL needs to set a example for the future . . . Otherwise, this will re- occurs with any team.

I don't ever recall a head coach intentionally trying to lose a game either until last night. Damn, what a slap in the faces of competition, integrity, and respect. Thing is you would have to assume that Roseman and Lurie were on board with it. Hell, it was probably their idea. Maybe even a condition of Pederson keeping his job. Unless their plan was to tell him to do it, deny involvement, and then have a perfect excuse to fire Pederson. In any case the interesting part will be if the lockerroom does get destroyed. Sadly I wouldn’t put it past players to have been complicit also. The Eagles might not care as they’re planning to blow it all up anyway

This has nothing to do with us and everything to do with a head coach who sold out his own players for 3 positions on a draft board.
The only people who would laugh at this are the brain dead. Speaking of brain dead, I didn't find it surprising at all to hear Maggie Gray admit she had no issue with Pederson.

I hated Seth Joyner as a player. So I sure as shit don’t care about his opinion now. Is Mike Golic going to chime in? Or Keith Byars? Wait, I like Keith Byars.

I know this is a moot point but do you think Pederson does the same thing if the Giants were playing them last night instead of Washington? I’m not sure he does or at least it would have been a tougher decision to make...
