  • This is the most negative barrage of comments I have received about a games, lack of integrity.

  • And that's not even counting Giants related bias consensus from those in the NFL and those who have been associated with it.

  • Disgrace.

  • That's not the fault of the Washington football team.

  • All right, let's talk about it.

  • Because, frankly, it is about is interesting away for an NFL season to end.

  • As I can remember in a very long time, what word would you use to sum up that decision?

  • A.

  • Strange when, when I see it right there, you know, at first I'm like, Did something happen?

  • Thio.

  • Jalen hurts and then when you know it's I still never knew, but you don't look.

  • Peterson's a good football coach, but that's, Ah, horrible moment for him.

  • And and quite honestly, I questioned going into the game the commitment of the Philadelphia Eagles of being a true pro, lining up and play.

  • And when I saw that injury report and the guys who weren't playing, I was shocked.

  • How many guys, you know?

  • Yeah, he mentioned some guys that were playing, but there was a whole list of guys that weren't and then making this move absolutely awful.

  • Bryan Clark, What do you think?

  • You know what I thought in 256 games right at the NFL fought through a pandemic to bring you even one of those games, starting a practice squad receiver at quarterback.

  • This was the most disgraceful.

  • This was the one they should have allowed to be canceled to be postponed.

  • This is the one that protocol should have taken over because of the way it finished.

  • You know Doug Peterson is talking about You know what?

  • We tried to win.

  • They still have Brandon Graham.

  • We had Darius Slay on the field.

  • Well, I saw the Shawn Watson played to the very end, and he's one of the best players, one of the best quarterbacks in this league, because his coach and their quarterback was trying to win the football game.

  • And when Chris Mortensen sends out a tweet and Mort says in that tweet that it was disgraceful, but not because of the Washington football team.

  • When in this decade, when in this year, when forever do we hear disgraceful and it involves two teams and we have to make a distinction that It's not because of the Washington football team.

  • That's what this decision was for Doug Peterson.

  • That's what this decision was for the Philadelphia Eagles.

  • And it's a terrible way to end the season that for 17 weeks you fought so hard to give your fans the games that were scheduled.

  • That's a point really well taken to Shawn Watson fought to the end yesterday in a meaningless game.

  • Matt Stafford, playing with a variety of injuries, played the entire day yesterday, and they wanted to get Nate Sudfeld snap, stand like this was Week four of the pre season.

  • I mean, what is that?

  • Last night was a mockery.

  • It was an absolute mockery.

  • We hear the term tanking in sports all the time, and we, as ex players will often say, Listen, front offices, they will tank.

  • Yes, because it's better for their organization.

  • Long term coaches and players just don't You just don't see it because they're not wired that way.

  • Last night was the first time that I felt I saw it, a coach obviously tanking.

  • Um, you can't get up there at the end of the game and say, Well, it was obvious or I was trying to coach to win and then, in the very next sentence, say I felt like Nate Sudfeld deserved reps.

  • Those two things can be synonymous with each other.

  • Those two things cannot believe happened at the same time.

  • This is a football team that had nine wins last year in the playoffs, but it's nine wins.

  • They got four this year.

  • It's the same football team that their coach chose to take a tie at the beginning of the year or accept the tie rather than tried to create that win.

  • Right?

  • And we can make fun of the NFC East all we want.

  • But at least they tried.

  • Those four teams tried to win games this year.

  • They were good, but they tried every single game until the last one toe win.

  • The NFL is about respect.

  • It's about respect in every single aspect on the field.

  • Philadelphia City as a city is prideful.

  • They don't want things the easy way.

  • They want it.

  • The hard road.

  • They're always the group that believes no matter what people say, they got a shot.

  • They don't want things given to them.

  • Last night, it felt different.

  • It felt like that was wrong in so many different ways.

  • While the busiest person at ESPN today is going to be the one that you see in the lower corner of your screen there, Adam Schefter has gotten up with us as well.

  • Good Morning, Schefty.

  • And you began the day from the Philadelphia perspective with the reporting about the relationship between Carson Wentz, who was a healthy scratch, and Doug Peterson take us there.

  • For those who didn't get to see that, Chris Stinson said that the fractured the relationship between those men was fractured beyond repair.

  • And I think what you're seeing is people jockeying for offseason position and Carson Wentz, clearly not happy with the events that have unfolded there in Philadelphia in particular this season.

  • He's been benched.

  • He's seen Jalen Hurts, take over a starting job, and now we head to an off season in which there's a real chance that Carson Wentz is gonna want out and want to move on from Philadelphia and try to go elsewhere.

  • Now we'll see what happens with that.

  • Clearly, at the heart of this is his relationship with Doug Peterson and what exists right there.

  • So we'll see how that shakes out going for green.

  • You got my dogs barking in the background.

  • Very sorry about that.

  • I could way like they're upset with it.

  • Adds They're disgusted by the decision to put Night said Filled In the fourth quarter.

  • They can get R.

  • C.

  • Because I could see you were done sound from Philadelphia.

  • The people in Philadelphia That's exactly right.

  • Orange, the dog pound they're celebrating in Cleveland.

  • We're going to get to them shortly, but our seat go ahead.

  • No, I just I just think what Adam is that's telling you about the relationship between Carson Wentz and Doug Peterson.

  • You know how to save it.

  • At least now you can go have the conversation and say, Well, hell, Carson, you got a chance to compete because I put Nate Sudfeld in the game instead of jailing.

  • So obviously, he's not our guy going forward.

  • When you look at the decisions that have been made in Philadelphia, some of them have been questionable.

  • I think people eventually thought you had to move on from Carson wins, but now we're at a point where every week we hear something from the backup quarterback.

  • Every week we're trying to make a decision on who's the start of this organization is a mess.

  • And in some of those reports, they're saying Doug Peterson is probably back.

  • They need to really re evaluate where they want to be in the future.

  • And if this coach is the guy to lead him, because right now, with all you hear from there, with all you see from there, this is an organization that's going in the wrong direction.

  • Go ahead.

  • Yeah.

  • I mean, when I look at this first off, Carson Wentz, this is absolutely ridiculous how these statements keep coming up and all that just man up.

  • Dude, just man up because the organization greeny it's gonna be hard to move move on from this guy.

  • It's gonna be hard to trade him, but just based on how the contract iss.

  • But are you kidding me?

  • Grow up, compete.

  • What is wrong with, you know, competition that makes everybody better.

  • You just want everything handed to you, like, to me, it's an absolute joke.

  • And, you know, is he trying to posture to get Doug Peterson run out of town?

  • You know, it was interesting to me, you know when, uh Dan talked about how you know this guy's tanking the coaches.

  • Why does he want to get run out of town?

  • I don't know.

This is the most negative barrage of comments I have received about a games, lack of integrity.
