How many rushing yards did Hurts have in the 3rd quarter when WFT started spying him?
Against full strength teams we were competitive and had chances to win. Our close losses make up for the asterisked wins. This was a 7-9 type team, I think the record is appropriate. I also think if Allen was healthy we're probably 8-8.Washington ended the 2020 campaign with 7 wins.
All 7 were against teams not at 100% or starting a bench QB.
Philly 1 - OL nonexistent for Wentz
Dallas 1 - No Prescott, Dalton out, DiNiucci in
Cincinnati - Burrow out, Finley put in
Dallas 2 - Dalton
SF - no Garoppolo or Kittle and biggest threat Deebo Samuel out after one play
Eagles 2 - most of roster out, Pederson pulled Hurts for Sudfeld
Closest to 100% was Pittsburgh who was playing on short rest and had no Connor but their big stars Big Ben and Juju and Claypool were still playing.
Against full strength teams Washington did not fare too well. That being said I think this game is close Saturday but Tampa will probably win.
Hurts had a passer rating of 27.7 for the game. Their first TD drive was gifted to them by multiple garbage penalties when they should have been off the field twice with a chance to go up 13-0 or 17-0. They did nothing offensively after half time once the D adjusted and started collapsing the middle of the pocket and making Hurts use his arm and not his legs.In 3 quarters, Hurts only completed 7 passes, for a paltry 72 yards.. he did have some nice scoring runs, but like (I assume) you're pointing out, Eagles offense stalled in the 3rd quarter. I don't think putting in Sudfeld really helped, or hurt, Philly. But of course the Monday morning meatheads & muckraking media are rampant with conspiracy theories about Hurts' benching. Ranging from the Eagles deliberately losing (starting late in the game ?), to institutional racism against Hurts. Theories that are stupid at best, & slanderous at worse.. Congrats to Washington tho.
He was a non-factor after the 2 TD drives. They put a spy on him and that was all she wrote.True. But Hurts was the reason they had 14 points lol... the only reason.
It is pretty bad. 6-10. Total folly. Part of me wishes the Cowboys had won yesterday — so that Cowboy nation could’ve been the ones howling about the Eagles “moves” last night.Giants fans so mad is hilarious , I’ve never seen such an entitled 6-10 team. f*** the New York giants
The only chance we have Saturday is if we get to Brady, I bet the Bucs D is licking their chops at the thought of Alex Smith. It’s cool we won the division and it should help the culture for sure but that was a pretty degrading win. Hurts stats sucked but why on earth would you put in Nate Sudfeld? You know what you have in that dude, Hurts for sure gave them the most chance to win. But overall I’ll be pretty excited next weekend to watch a playoff game, they don’t happen often for Washington football fans
Nobody in the NFC East should be boasting about anything. Somebody had to win, we lucked out. Go play a wildcard game and maybe we get lucky.It is pretty bad. 6-10. Total folly. Part of me wishes the Cowboys had won yesterday — so that Cowboy nation could’ve been the ones howling about the Eagles “moves” last night.
but eh, Giants are almost as good.

Big difference is that sitting players before the game is common place and is an accepted policy around the NFL while last night it looked like Pederson was trying to tank in-game, which is pretty unprecedented. Again I think Hurts' scrambles for TDs masked what was otherwise a terrible performance so I think it's overblown but it's easy to deduce why people were upset.Let’s not pretend that the Eagles were the only team that didn’t use all of its starters yesterday.
Where is the ranting and raving about the Browns making it, due to Big Ben sitting, and the Steelers resting 6 other starters?
this whole Hurts thing is overplayed.
I also get this... but why play for a tie if you're 4-10-1?It's also not JUST the Sudfeld substitution. Going for it on 4th and 4 when you're down 17-14? I get that Doug Pederson is gonna do Doug Pederson things, but come on. The tank was on.
You do know that this team was very close in ending up with 3 additional wins, finishing 10-6 with the team they have had! 20-19 L they should have beat the Giants, 23-20 L to the Giants again and the 59 y FG loss against the Lions.

Don't really care about the Eagles either, screw em. But yeah, if you were the Philly brass wouldn't you want to evaluate Hurts in end of game pressure situations.
And maybe it's fine if you wanna see Sudfeld, but do you need to keep seeing Sudfeld after what (I think I remember) a 1st drive: 3 and out, 2nd drive: INT, and 3rd drive: Fumble Loss Turnover?
I think that's what people are mad about.
