Week - 17 farg Dallas edition!

Rome · December 23, 2016, 09:33:44 AM

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.

hbionic · December 27, 2016, 09:15:26 PM

A chance to say goodbye to the Eagles so we can get on with real life.

BigEd76 · December 27, 2016, 09:37:27 PM

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

QB Eagles · December 27, 2016, 09:51:44 PM

The rare Week 17 where we actually want the Eagles to win to help the draft pick.

smeags · December 29, 2016, 10:39:05 AM

one of these teams will win this game.

PhillyPhreak54 · December 29, 2016, 10:51:55 AM

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.

Diomedes · December 29, 2016, 11:32:09 AM

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.

smeags · December 29, 2016, 11:49:42 AM

ok, some valid points, but possibly hurt his trade value ?? c'mon. he has none already.

PhillyPhreak54 · December 29, 2016, 12:09:57 PM

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

smeags · December 29, 2016, 12:19:03 PM

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.

Diomedes · December 29, 2016, 12:21:07 PM

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.
