I have a bad feeling we are going to win.

 

[DWinzit]

Please start Hartman.

Johnson and Driskel are nobody's to the future of the team You kept Hartman on the team last year and all year, play him.

Play the heck out of all the other young players too. Let them show off their goods for next year.

Let Magee call the defense some

Have the QB's throw to Sinnott, Burks and Bill, a lot

Blitz someone on every play

Try new trick plays just to try them

Let them have fun...just don't get carried away and win this one lol

Friday Injury Report:

 

[DWinzit]

Hoping Coleman can be a go

 

[Bulldog]

Yep, Washington will probably find a way to win this game and end up sliding in draft.

They can't. They cannot pick lower than 7th, plus the teams ahead of them in the draft, only two have realistic chances to win, NYG-Dallas; Cleveland/Cincy. Jets, Cardinals, and Titans all play playoff teams with something to play for

If we lose and the NYG win will we get the 4th place schedule next season? I don’t know how that is determined. Both division record and conference record would be the same in that scenario. Is SOS a factor? Is head to head a tiebreaker?

I believe that we finish ahead of the Giants in the standings but draft ahead of them too. We have the tie breaker in the standings, sweeping their crap team. They have a harder SOS, so they would pick after us.

I still think it's a long shot they beat the Cowboys, but it's possible

 

[Bulldog]

Giants beating Dallas and seeing Jones watching it would be great fun 🤩

Don’t count on Dallas playing well. The dysfunction is out of the box with the Diggs fiasco and Kenny Clark’s status for next season after he found out the team was disappointed in him 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would laugh my ass off for a number of reasons. But my expectations for a win against the Eagles are less than 50-50. They maybe sitting starters, but we're starting 3rd, 4th, and 5th stringers, so they still have the advantage

 

[SkinsFTW]

Giants tend to screw up their draft position regularly so I won't be surprised if they win.

We may as well win too. Very unlikely that we'd move up in the draft even with a loss.

 

[Dah-Dee]

Browns are currently beating Bengals, combined with our likely loss to Eagles would bump us to #6 pick.

Edit: Different projections on ESPN website having us currently picking 6 and 7, so maybe Browns result doesn't matter? Not sure. Either way, would rather beat Iggles than pick one-two higher. Does look like if we lose and any of the current pick #2-5 teams win, we jump ahead of that team due to strength of schedule.

FFS Dah-Dee don’t jinx it. 🤣 (It does matter…as long as we lose.)

Why do you think it is ‘likely’ that our JV squad loses to Philly’s Super JV squad?

 

[Chris]

Bengals kicker has missed 2 xps.

LOL sorry, I'm sorry, really!

I just think we've got so many starters from a bad squad out that Philly resting some guys won't matter. Josh Johnson is our QB for crap's sake. Would be fun to pull it off (and knock their seeding down) though.

Edit: Titans getting crushed, so we won't get higher than #3 no matter what.

Philly’s not sitting some starters, they are reportedly sitting out nearly all starters.

So are we, and not by choice

Even though McKee has been good in very limited action, I'm hoping he plays the whole game because wouldn't it just be the appropriate ending to this horrible year for Sam Howell to come in and tear us up?
