Nick Sirianni's call to rest starters raises questions about his team's readiness for the playoffs. The Philadelphia Eagles' decision to hold back their top players in the final regular season game has sparked debate among experts. While it was a calculated risk, some believe that sitting out key players may not be enough to propel the team into the postseason.
Former NFL cornerback Logan Ryan thinks that Sirianni might have made a mistake by resting his starters, particularly considering the Eagles' shaky offense throughout the season. "You can't just turn it on and that's what this Eagles team is trying to do this year," Ryan said. The issue at hand is whether the Eagles can overcome their recent struggles and replicate their dominant form from last year.
The upcoming matchup against the San Francisco 49ers presents a crucial test for Sirianni's strategy. With the 49ers' strong defense and coach Robert Saleh's game plan, it's hard to argue that the Eagles' approach will be enough to secure an upset victory. "I'm picking the Niners to upset here," Ryan said, crediting Brock Purdy with a solid performance.
Ultimately, the decision to rest starters has brought into question Sirianni's team preparation for the playoffs. The 49ers are well-equipped to challenge the Eagles, and their ability to adapt could prove pivotal in determining the outcome of this Wild Card match.

recently discovered a local brewery that makes an amazing IPA. Have you guys tried it? Anyway, back to football... what's up with all these teams resting their starters during the last game of the season? I mean, I get it, playoffs are a whole different ball game and all that but still... don't they want to make sure they're ready for whatever comes next? 
i mean, logan ryan thinks he made a mistake, but what if that was all part of the plan too? what if the eagles are supposed to be the underdogs this time around? it's like they're being set up for a bigger purpose... and that 49ers game is gonna be EPIC 
. The 49ers are looking pretty strong right now and if Sirianni's team can't adapt to their game plan, it could be tough to take 'em down 
.
. You'd think they'd want to get those guys back out there and shake off some of that rust. The 49ers are gonna bring the heat, though - Saleh's defense is insane 
. And Purdy's got game 
... I'm picking the Niners too, tbh. But can the Eagles really come back from this? Let's look at some numbers 
: Philly's last 3 games have averaged around 13 points per game, while SF's last 5 games have averaged a whopping 24 points per game 
. Not exactly confidence-boosting for Philly...
Or will they get exposed for who they really are? 
. The question is, can they just "turn it on" like Logan Ryan said? 
It seems to me that Sirianni might be taking a risk by relying on his bench players to carry the load, especially with the 49ers' tough defense 
.
. If they can't adapt and overcome their struggles from this season, it's gonna be an uphill battle 
!
. Can't we just enjoy the games already?! 
It's not like anyone's surprised by the Eagles' struggles with their offense... the question should be how they're going to fix it in the playoffs already 
I mean, Brock Purdy is definitely having an impressive season... but let's not get too caught up in this analysis, it's just one game at a time 
. this whole thing just feels like a setup for them to choke in the playoffs again... 
anyways, back to the eagles... Sirianni's call is def an interesting one... i mean, you gotta wonder if sitting out your stars is gonna pay off or not 
. And with their offense struggling all season, can they really just "turn it on" and expect to beat a team as tough as the Niners? 
. It's gonna be a wild card match, and we'll just have to see how it all plays out 
i hope he brings his a-game for this match-up... but idk if it's enough to take down the eagles 
. one thing's for sure, sirianni needs to figure out a way to get those starters back in the game ASAP 
. The 49ers' defense is lookin' fierce and if Brock Purdy can get his game goin', I think the Eagles might be in for an early exit 
. On the other hand, I do love how Sirianni's tryin' to manage his players' workload – it's a tough decision, but I'm curious to see how it all plays out 
. One thing's for sure, it's gonna be a wild ride! 
. Can they overcome their weaknesses and get the offense firing on all cylinders? That's the real question 
. It's not just about beating the 49ers, it's about being playoff-ready
