Hey Big matt, thanks for reading. I am absolutely not kidding. This is the same thing that every team does every year at this time. The fact that Sudfeld has been here for 4 seasons and not played more than a handful of snaps means that they, in fact, have not seen him in any real game situations and he is more than deserving of getting some playing time for what he does with the team. The only reason this is a big deal is because the NFL was stupid enough to flex it to prime time. Vic Fangio called a timeout so his team was lose. Where is the outrage for his tanking? The Panthers benched Bridgewater for PJ Walker, who threw 3 INTs in a little of a quarter of game time. Is that not tanking? He's been with the team all season and was a starter in the XFL, so they had plenty of tape on him - why would they put him in? I don't disagree that it's tanking, but I do disagree that that is somehow a disgrace. Every year it happens and if the above two teams don't tank themselves, the Eagles winning/losing has minimal impact on their draft position. The NFL set this all up perfectly for this fake outrage to happen as though this is some brand new thing. I do disagree that going for a TD on 4th down is part of tanking, though. That's just an aggressive play call (as Doug has previously made before) and if Hurts doesn't throw the ball into the dirt despite Quez Watkins being wide-open, it's a TD. How can a play call that worked in every way except for the QB's ability to make a simple pass be a tanking call? If the Eagles brass goes all out to win a game and make the franchises future even more bleak, they are a joke. If they are building toward the future as they did, that's just smart business.

No problem - thank you for reading, Jeff!
