They likely won’t have Hurts for the regular season. If Cowboys win out, they might win the East.

You aren't wrong.

However, the Eagles have a three (3) game lead in the division with only three (3) games left.  You think the Eagles will lose all three games, even if Minshew play all three for Philly?

This Hurts shoulder injury is a wildcard.  If Dallas wins and Minshew has to play the rest of the season, then Dallas is still alive.

Either way, though, I don't want to lose to the Jets, and have to rely on Houston to beat Tennessee to keep the game we gained on the Tacks or to rely on Dallas to get that game back for us.

On top of that, there may be a scenario where we may have to go the wild card route (unlikely).  In that case, beating the Jets would give us tiebreaker over the and the Chargers.

Eagles are a totally different team without Hurts. His threat to run every play is massive and he has big arm whereas Minshew has a noodle arm.

Cowboys game will be tough. Then they play NO the next week on Sunday and the Cowboys play Thursday night. So if Cowboys beat the Eagles Sunday, they will be playing hard Thursday because the division could still be up for grabs.

I do however think this game Thursday is massive.

No disrespect to Jalen Hurts but I really don't see a huge drop off coming for Philly if Minshew plays. That team is stacked offensively with talent i'm pretty sure Bortles could sneak a win or 2 with AJ Brown/Smith/Godert and that nasty O line.

That is a legit disrespect. 

“Hey. No disrespect to the potential MVP but they’re the same team with or without him.”

Agreed, pretty much like Parsons said.  They have no weakness

He said that before Hurts got hurt.
