Giants Fans, Players, and National Media "Football Guys" are INCENSED by the Tank
You hate to see this.
New York Giants fans are upset with Doug Pederson and the Philadelphia Eagles because the Birds didn’t try their hardest on Sunday night. They did not try to win the game, which would have sent Joe Judge and his team to the playoffs as NFC East champions.
Nevermind the fact that the Giants stink. They’re 6-10 and look ridiculous complaining about the Eagles’ decision to look out for their own best interests. If Giants players and fans are so bothered by this, then maybe winning more than six games and taking care of business themselves would have been preferable to being held hostage by a four-win Birds squad on Sunday night football.
And on top of that, you’ve got national media “football guys” crowing about the integrity of the game and ripping Doug Pederson for making a mockery of competition, as if the Jaguars and Jets were shining beacons of competitiveness this season. As if other teams don’t rest players or phone it in during week 17. It’s like re-living Sam Hinkie and the The Process all over again.
Here’s a sampling of the angry tweets:
Doug Pederson should be ashamed. What happened to “integrity of the game”?

You play the game to win point blank period JJ Watt said it best the other day outside of how it effects us this just disrespectful to the game

Dude Doug Pederson is a Super Bowl winning coach and he's just throwing a game? This is 1000 percent wack.

Fans r missing the point on the comments about Eagles . Stating Giants should stop whining since they only won 6 games is not the point . This was the @NFL not CYO where everyone plays .At stake was a playoff spot & Jalen Hurts should have been on the field.

Good for Collinsworth for calling out Doug Pederson.

Doug Pederson is a disgrace to professional sports.

I thought Wentz was being a baby but I wouldn’t want to play for Doug Pederson either. Now all 3 of his QBs hate him

Doug Pederson kind of a dirt bag for going for it on 4th & Goal in an OBVIOUS Field Goal situation and then benching his starting QB because of his poor coaching choice.

The Giants again have only themselves to blame.
But what Doug Pederson did tonight on National TV is a really bad look for the league.

No one should feel bad for the Giants. As I said, they made their bed.
This is a bigger issue about the integrity of this game that Doug Pederson is mocking. Hard not to see it any other way.

You are my enemy Doug Pederson

So I know the @Eagles got 3 picks better in the draft after losing to WFT but the way Doug Pederson goes about his business has been DISTURBING. It felt like a slap in the face of the players that have been working their asses off the entire season. #Embarrasing

This is laughably pathetic.
