Official Game Thread - Week 18 - Commanders @ Eagles

[heisenberg]

Notice how the Eagles are resting all of their starters?

There's a lesson to be learned there.

The only thing I can't figure out is that the eagles have something to play for.
The difference between the two seed and the 3 seed could be the difference between two home games or one.
You'd think they'd take that a little more seriously considering the lions could definitely beat the bears today.

Unable to watch or listen. What happened on the missed FG - bad hold, wind?

Current Tankathon only because that's why most of us are here. Giants at 5 and we're at 6.

Because at this point we have completed 1 less game.

Short FG. Bad kick.

thank god, I was worried we'd go into the half with a lead

There's that stupid ass rule again where a 15 yard penalty results in a 1st and ten simply because you got a first down on your last play.

Feels like I’m watching a preseason game.

 

[prodigy]

ugh reavo...not today lol

As crazy as it sounds if the lions are up by 20 at the half I wonder if the eagles might put a few starters back in to try to lock up the 2 seed.

No, they are too arrogant and don’t think they need the 2 seed. Here’s hoping it bites them in the ass.

This aged like milk

Quinn is beaming. If they somehow pull off this miracle win he will talk about how this proves that the brotherhood is alive and well

Some encouraging things happening: Sinnott and Burks making catches, Reaves with a pick, and Moody with a long kick.

Against who though?

Isn't this sort of like being encouraged watching your team play well in the second half of a preseason game?

Sinnott, Burks and Moody I get. Reaves is a 30 year old backup safety who shouldnt be getting many defensive snaps on a good team

This has parallels to that game in 21 where RR just wanted to stick it to Joe Judge and he costed us a better pick

It’s a lot like that, 2026 preseason started early this year. The outcome doesn’t matter, but you still want to see something from guys on the roster bubble, which we are.

Reaves is one of our longest tenured players. I think him, Tress, Terry, Payne, and JJ are the only ones remaining who played for a team called the Redskins.

He is also a special teams ace, team captain, etc.

I just like the guy, and I believe the locker room feels the same.
