I still want the division title mainly to deprive the eagles of it. As long as Garrett is fired, the rest is gravy.

I didn't know that people still cared about division titles, outside of the playoff benefits.

My friend who's a bills fan still wears an AFC South 1993 champions hat

Fake news. There weren't South divisions in '93.

IF they lose tonight, the division title would most certainly be gone. Then there are two options:

* Fire Garrett and give an asst coach an audition for his job

* let the season play out and just not renew his contract

I think the second option is more likely because I don't think anyone currently on staff is in the running for HC anyway.

And no, jr, I don't think it's SB or fired. I think they'll let him walk, and go to the Giants as a pretty well decided safe landing spot. And there are some interesting options out there...Riley, as well as retreads Holmgren, McCarthy, and Rivera, and maybe others.

he should be smart enough to realize he needs to pay someone else to help him with it if he can't figure it out himself

I disagree that the division title is gone if they lose tonight. Because of the Miami game the cowboys are1 game ahead of philly. If we lose and philly wins Sunday, we would be tied next week. Even if we lose next week to the rams and philly wins 2 in a row, we would go up to philly and have a chance to beat them for the tiebreaker and likely the division.

The Miami game ensured, for better or for worse, that the game in philly on December 22nd will mean something.
I understand that there is a segment of the fan base who just wants to lose and get the Garrett era over with, but I don't want to give up on the team when they're actually playing for something.

I'm not one that's rooting for the team to lose for any reason. And you may be right about the division, but I doubt they'll get much farther than that and I think they'll lose and he'll be let go well before the SB level. I don't think they win the first playoff game, and that'll be enough to let him go.

Could there be some financial reason to let his contract run out rather than fire him now? Do NFL coaches have buyouts like college coaches?

Which is weird, right? He's a young, Ivy Leauge, former backup QB. Nearly everyone with that background is a analytics, spread offense, risk taking gambler. Garrett coaches like Ditka

Ivy League = process oriented individuals
Non Ivy League = creative oriented individuals

This is why it seems like Groundhog Day with Garrett, his process sucks and he keeps sticking with it

If he loses this, why not get the firing over with? It's obvious this team is not performing under him.
(Thumbs down for Garrett not in reply to recipient).
