It's more about getting an extra week of rest and another game where a team could lose. If the NFL didn't do the money grab and add extra team I would basically be at 0 at this Eagles loss. Now I'm at 25.

The players could say no to any of this. But they want the check too

I didn't see the Hurts injury or any other highlights. Just noticed that Philadelphia settled for a lot of FG's. How did Pickett look?

Pickett is an asset to the other team. As much as Jalen gets crapped on regularly he is so much more productive. If Washington and the Eagles meet in a few weeks again the Eagles should crush them. Smith had a terrible drop though that would have essentially sealed the game.

He was probably about as expected. Pretty mediocre. His INT was bad, but beyond that he didn't make a ton of mistakes.

Biggest impact was likely the fact that Pilly didn't feel they could do the tush push which cost them probably 3 first downs on 3rd or 4th and short (in terms of not going for them, not failing)

Pickett looked like just a guy, but I just watched the 4th quarter. He appeared to have been playing through some rib pain by then.

Philly still being uncreative is a likely thing with Pickett in, as Barkley's production tanked after Hurts went out. It's just that the are overtalenting teams when Hurts is in making it true 11-on-11, which then just opens things up for Saquon.

He was shaking his arm through the second half too. Not sure if it was ribs causing the arm to sit and feel off or if it was two separate knocks.

Edit: And yes, it was clear that Barkley struggled hard after Hurts was out and I think a lot of that is because the commies didn't really fear the deep ball and thus could really stack the box.

He actually probably did enough to win the game on a "normal day". A strike to Barkley that Wagner just barely broke up. Then the Smith drop.

The Smith drop was eerily similar to the Ertz drop back in 2020. That Ertz drop was huge, because it literally gave Heinicke a career...and it was the first indicator Wentz was a broken quarterback...brain damage, PTSD from Foles, whatever. We'll see if this game does something similar in the future.

But Daniels on the Commanders is not normal....;)
