1. Hurts is the future, didn’t want to risk a serious injury.
2. Hurts will be traded before the draft, didn’t want to risk a serious injury.
3. The Eagles wanted to draft at 6 vs 9.
All are legit reasons. They don’t owe the Giants or Cowboys shit. Handle your own business and you won’t have to depend on another team, a 4-win team at that.
They owe football fans. It's detrimental to the sport itself to intentionally throw the game as it transpires. We all know (well, everyone except jimanchower) tanking happens in sports, but it's usually decided beforehand that the team isn't going to put itself in the best position to win the upcoming game/season. To be as blatant as Pederson was about throwing the game in the 4th quarter is what people are taking issue with.
It isn't about screwing over the Giants, it's about a bad look for the NFL. Why should fans pay attention to a league where the games aren't on the up and up?
Also the whole argument of 'the 6 and 10 team can't complain and they dont owe the Giants' is useless. It assumes that only the Giants players and fans felt like Pedersen was putting on a pathetic display of pussitude and bitchiness last night. You don't have to want the Giants in the playoffs to be disgusted by this shit (full disclosure, I'm a Giants fan, so I guess everything i said will just be disregarded).
