Why is Peterson catching hell? Ben didn’t even travel. Didn’t the Browns make the playoffs because they won? I realize Steelers couldn’t improve position and injury possibility.....but my point is.... STFU media and Giants!

Steelers sat starters before the game and still tried to win. Hell they were exceedingly close to.

Eagles sat starters during the game and tried to lose

Because Eagles game was prime time and they didn’t have a playoff game to rest up for next week.

The Eagles actively tanked in a game the players were previously trying to win.

They were getting too close to their goal, so the coach sabotaged them.

Not saying there is a wrong or right either way, but it was significantly different than what other teams did resting starters from the get go.

I mean, come on, let’s not act like Jalen Hurts was playing good. They had a pile of shite at QB yesterday.

I think Hurts is the one who needs reps, not Nate effin Sudfield.

Yes but telling the Jets to tank for Trevor in November was okay. Hypocrisy is funny with fans. Who cares about the New Jersey Giants. They should have won one more game. Cant complain when you are under 500.

I don't think it's so much about feeling bad for the giants as it is being turned off by a team actively trying to lose.

And Hurts was not having a good day passing the ball, but he was running it OK and was at least moving the offense. Sudfeld was pure arse.

Steelers had plenty to lose if Ben got hurt and virtually nothing to gain by winning. They have to play next week. Philly gets all off-season to recover from any injuries.

Having said that, no team with six wins has reason to complain. If you want to make the playoffs, try winning at least half of your games.

One team is in the playoffs. One team is trying to get a better draft pick.

You’re smarter than this.

Hurts is a one read, tuck it and run guy, and he was playing poorly at even that last night....still he gave them a better chance than the kid they put in.

I think cause he packed it in at half which made it obvious

But the GMen shouldnt be crying about anything being 6-10

Yeah but if the game doesn't mean anything why are you taking reps from him and giving them to Sudfeld, who was just as bad? His answer about Sudfeld being there for 4 years so he wanted to get him in was ridiculous. If he actually believes that's some shite he should've left at Calvary Baptist.

Pre-game, he said he would put him in late.

That don't make it smart. Taking reps from a rookie who will be there next year for a vet, who's behind him on the depth chart, that might not be. That's dumb.
