New York Giants: A controversial devil’s advocate take on the Eagles tanking

Right now, the Eagles are the clear least favorite division rival of many fans of the New York Giants. And it’s completely understandable, The Eagles pulled a tanking move against Washington that guaranteed the Giants wouldn’t make it into the playoffs. It’s drawn them criticism from fans around the league for being against the competitive nature of the game and for the inexplicable nature of the Eagles pulling Jalen Hurts in the favor of their third string quarterback.

However, from an unbiased perspective, it’s hard to crucify the Eagles so hard for this.

It’s quite normal to feel anger as a fan – but when it comes to asking for the league to punish the Eagles with fines or taking away a draft pick or some other punishment, it’s worth looking at things from an objective point of view.
