A game that will literally mean less than nothing to either team. Basically it's a fifth 2017 preseason game and a chance to say goodbye to a third of the clowns on the roster.
GO TEAM!
Maybe a chance to say goodbye to Mark Sanchez, too.
A chance to say goodbye to the Eagles so we can get on with real life.
Burkhardt/Lynch/Oliver again, and it'll be the top early game
The odds went from Dallas -3 to Philly -6 and is somewhere around Birds -3.5 now
The rare Week 17 where we actually want the Eagles to win to help the draft pick.
one of these teams will win this game.
Sanchize is probably going to play.
Dallas fans are pissed off bc they see it as a farg you to Romo.

well, it is.
but farg them.
It's definitely not a farg you to Romo, Jerrah loves him like a son.
If Romo entered the game, he'd probably be protected by Dallas' backups. Not ideal for coming back from a bad injury. If he looks amazing, congratulations you've just reignited the QB controversy and crowds will be chanting his name the first time Dak misses a receiver in the playoffs. If he looks terrible since he hasn't played in forever, you just humiliated a Cowboys great in his final game for the franchise, in the stadium of a rival with fans who will mock the shtein out of him, in a game he was playing for no reason. And down goes his trade value.
Why would you risk him in that game before the playoffs anyway? Dak goes down and you have only Buttfumble as your QB because Romo got dinged up in a meaningless game? It's a no brainer.
ok, some valid points, but possibly hurt his trade value ?? c'mon. he has none already.
Yeah I think he does - if they run him out there and he looks like ass they could lose some value on him.
I think he ends up in Denver or Arizona
he's a 36yr old qb with a bad back ... his value is what it is , which is zero IMO. a bad game after not playing since the pre-season wont make it any worse.
anyway, im done caring enough to discuss this any more. i'll be recovery from the night before, just hoping this game helps with that.
Wait, trade value? Who is going to give up anything of value for him? Dallas is going to have to cut him, no?

Here's a totally random sample of quarterbacks that teams are using.
Blake Bortles
Matt Barkley
Blaine Gabbert
Ryan Fitzpatrick
RG III
Brock Osweiler
If Dallas can't get anything for Mr December from a team relying on one of those guys, then I don't know what to tell you.
Matt Cassell is starting this weekend. There's a market for Romo. If he wants to keep playing, I suspect he'll do better in 2017 than Brock Osweiler.
Provided he passes physicals, Dallas could probably land a middle round draft pick of some kind with bonuses for performance.
I just don't see it. the back is the reason. would expect teams to wait to see if dallas cuts him.
dammit, got drug back into this.
where is he contract wise ?
Quote from: smeags on December 29, 2016, 12:32:07 PM

They'd take a $12.7 mil hit for cutting him, so that's probably not gonna happen.
Bortles was a Pro Bowl level quarterback last year. He's not going anywhere and the Jags are sure as hell not signing a stiff like Romo to replace him.
his options are denver and placeholding for cleveland or something
i guess he could also go to wash pro team but why would they ever not pay a hof-level qb like cousins?
Even if there's no Cousins deal, they'll franchise him again.
I think Romo would be open to playing in Arizona, and they'd probably be open to playing him.
i dont see arizona trading in one old washed up qb for another....they go all in for 1 more year with palmer/fitz or move on from both and make a run at cousins (if they can afford him and hes available).
as for this game, sanchez is going to play in most of it. hooray.
It would be funny if Cousins went to ARZ and Romo to WAS
I could see Cleveland tossing some of their hundred million dollars of cap space at Cousins.
man, the excitement for this game is off the charts.
All three Dallas QBs will play.
Romo's first action since Thanksgiving of 2015.
Hopefully he takes a few welcome back shots in the ribs.
If the backup linemen are playing, yeah, maybe this will be the week they finally get pressure on a quarterback.

At that game. Section 301 represent.
Romo is playing for Houston next year for sure
Todd! I love it. BMitch opening kickoff vs Tampa in NFCG, Pimps punt return against Giants and Wilbert's TD run there were the three times I lost my mind cheering for these losers.
Gratz
Barbre
Hart
Andrews
Gordon
Kendricks
Matthews
Kendricks being inactive is mildly surprising
They can do this, right? No pressure.
why are they insisting on running Sproles? It's the last game of the year, get the young guy some touches.
Red zone has to be better next year (duh)
Too many stalled drives there

Because some idiot decided to let him play in a meaningless game.
if he comes back in the next series garret should be fired on the spot
They shouldn't even put fragile-ass Romo out there. Just go right to Buttfumble.
not even going to waste my time bitching about Carroll
thats a great play
I can't believe Sanchez isn't a starter somewhere.

Lousy series again for Wentz
Jesus this is pathetic.
why is connor barwin playing so much and vinny curry not...you just signed vinny long term and connor will more than likely not be on the team next year
Wentz and Doug with another shtein ass farging series
Shouldn't a screen pass have at least one blocker?

It's nice to finally see Sanchez completing passes to Eagles.

I can't wait until Wentz is a third stringer for Dallas, then. [/IGY]
Alright, this game's gone from mediocre to full-on trainwreck.
theres rogers league for you
that was not a farging penalty
doug would never have had the awareness to call that timeout
A bad combo with how thoroughly chip gutted the skill players and pederson's 3 yard in the air offense.
Going to be a long climb back from that even if wentz ends up being legit.
This is one of those drives where Wentz throws a bunch of good passes in a row and then fargs it all up with a deep interception. Dallas forgot to intercept it, though.
Quote from: Eagles_Legendz on January 01, 2017, 02:55:17 PMchip gutted the skill players
scary part is they very well might need four offensive lineman in the near future....sure its possible semu or someone else on the roster fills a spot but right now RT RG C LG are all question marks going forward.....QB TE and LT (if you believe lane has learned his lesson) are good but thats it on offense
BRING MIKE TROUT HOME
"Dallas Sucks, Dallas Sucks". It's chants like that which fuel my hatred for the human race.
Enjoy that chant the next 6+ years as Dallas dominates this division you kooks.

so true. WR and RB is an issue but this OL is, well, nothing.
Love what Lynch said earlier during the broadcast regarding the birds draft this year. Kevin Burkhardt pointing out how many picks they have and it looks good considering what they gave up for Wentz but Lynch quickly chimed in "yeah, but you've got to get it right. All they have to do is look at the team across the field". Getting right has been a big issue with this FO of late.
i actually like the guy more than most but is anyone better at getting empty numbers than zach ertz

DGB? that loser can't get out of his own way.
not a big deal but why not go for it there

No one should ever punt if Sanchez is playing for the other team.
Only excitement is Jeff mcclane has been thrown out of the pressbox for some reason

dallas even has the best kicker and punter
No chemistry between the young QB and receivers? How can you have chemistry when you have nothing?

I figured you'd be swinging on Marquette King's bbc.
Tucker is the best kicker
Byron Marshall, ok, I know this doesn't mean shtein but I like it.
holy shtein wentz sucks
That was a terrible miss by Wentz.
Jesus Christ Wentz
How do you miss that?
And there's Carson Wentz. Jesus ginger, c'mon.
All this take of chemistry, shtein work on your basic fundamentals like how to hit a wide open receiver 8 yards in front of you who could have moonwalked into the end zone.
Wentz has had a good 2nd half but he McNabb'd the farg out of that throw
Lol Sanchez
Barwin made a play!
Sanchez is a national treasure.
I was worried dip shtein doug would take a knee. Hell no!
Garrett calls a TO? Get the farg out of Dodge with no injuries.
I actually cheered on that touchdown! guess I'm not that hungover.
Don't care that it's a meaningless game. Always fun watching them beat Dallas, not to mention that it would have been an extra kick in the gut had they set a single season franchise record for wins against the home team.

Working through a massive hangover?
free jeff mclane
Mclane is a fleshpop but the Eagles' media staff's behavior is ridiculous. Typical, though
The lady who threw him out used to be his boss at the inky
my personal encounters with him aside, i thought hes done a nice job. has been hard on them and justifiably so. when he goes in on them its warranted. your marcus hayes of the world do it for attention and angry emails.
Yeah he's good. Might be the best beat guy covering them
once sheil left mclane became by far the best eagles writer in the city
hes certainly the one who carries the most weight. this story is gonna go national. cnn and stetler will go in on it. im sure angelo will make a big deal out of it (slobbering fanboy gargano will not). im certain this what smolenski and lurie want to deal with.
What trips me out is they said he violated the fan code of conduct
Ordering people to quiet down at an Eagles game sounds precisely like what they would do to the rank and file. Lurie runs the team like an incompetent branch of the SS. They're never winning anything as long as that farg face owns the team. farg him and his windmills.
it doesnt make any sense and theres no justification for it. theres more to the story. could be any 1 of a million things.
im pretty sure if a fan violates the code of conduct you cant come back in the stadium until you take some sort of behavioral class....wonder if they will adhere this rule to mclane

BREAKING
From the comments section. So on point.
QuoteThe Eagles are taking media tips from the Trump staff. Expect a gloating tweet from the Eagles account about how the Inquirer is a losing paper later tonight.
"Violating the fans code of conduct" is especially hilarious and insulting to the media.
I'd like to think this will end with an apology and a fired staffer, but it won't.
Reports that spike Eskin ordered the host on WIP to stop talking about the McLane incident
The voice of the people muzzled! Wonder what Ang would tell Spike if he tells him to zip it?
