Nate is an NFL QB folks He's been on the team for years They needed a spark Doug was going for a shot in the arm and the win End of story Seriously though, I think people would be less offended if the Eagles made a statement to the media before the game. "Look, this game doesn't mean anything to us. So as not to put our better players at unnecessary risk, we'll be playing backups." Teams in the playoffs rest starters, no reason a losing team couldn't do the same thing. We'd know the Eagles as an organization weren't trying their hardest to win that game, but we'd believe the product on the field was the result of the directly involved parties' (players, coaches) best efforts. Tinkering with the lineup and making highly questionable coaching decisions toward the end of the game is a step away from your beloved WWE. People don't watch football for that. Why not give the young kids some valuable playing experience heading into the offseason
It's the only ways players grow - get their feet wet
Same goes for the NBA - i.e. teams during garbage time - they give the 12th man on the bench an opportunity to see what they can do
