After missing the past 7 games due to a foot injury, PG Michael Carter-Williams returned with a double-double to help lead the Sixers to their 8th win of the season. He contributed 15 points and 10 assists, as well as 3 steals in 35 minutes. But the real X-factor in this game was Evan Turner, who not only had 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists, but also had the game-winning layup. He drove to … Continue reading
One of the most shocking things about the way the NFL season has shaped up is that the Eagles actually have a winning record and have a real shot at making the playoffs. If you had told me that this would happen four months ago, I’d probably just laugh at you. On paper, the Eagles looked like they would be entering a rebuilding year after getting a new Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator, and Defensive Coordinator. … Continue reading
While it would be great to beat the Bears on national TV on Sunday Night Football, it really doesn’t matter. The Eagles are in a situation in which beating them would likely only provide bragging rights. It does pose as a good challenge since the Bears are a likely playoff team, but the Eagles can still control their own destiny and make the playoffs even with a loss in this game. And it’s all thanks … Continue reading
Almost nothing went right for the Eagles on Sunday. They may have scored 30 points, but they gave up 48, more than twice the amount that they were giving up at a maximum in the past eight games. Their defense was pathetic from the start, reverting back to the way they played in the first few games of the season. The cornerbacks were especially bad, making Matt Cassel look like a Hall of Fame player. … Continue reading
Despite scoring only 6 points in the first three quarters combined, their 28 points in the fourth quarter were enough to lead the Eagles to their 8th victory of the season. After a scoreless first quarter, the Eagles didn’t even have positive yards. But they finished the game with 478 yards and 34 points, both very high numbers, especially since the game was basically played in a blizzard. Things were not looking good after the … Continue reading
Despite the Cardinals’ late comeback, the Eagles were able to get their seventh win of the season in a game that could easily have playoff ramifications later in the season. While the game was still close, the Eagles managed to dominate most of the game. Nick Foles passed for another 3 TDs while throwing no interceptions, although he did have one terrible pass that was picked off that got called back because of a penalty. … Continue reading
If the playoffs started today, the Eagles would be the fourth seed in the NFC. Well, I certainly didn’t see that coming. While the season still has many games left, it would be crazy if they were able to make it into the playoffs after such a terrible start to the season. They got another key division win in this one after defeating the Redskins for the second time this season and moving up into … Continue reading
The words “quarterback controversy” should never appear in a sentence again this year when talking about the Philadelphia Eagles. Whether Michael Vick is hurt or not, Nick Foles should be the starter. His performances in the last two games have just been too good to overlook, and the fact that Foles hasn’t officially been named the starter is just stunning. In fact, Head Coach Chip Kelly actually announced that he still hasn’t named a starter … Continue reading
I think I can safely say that approximately 0% of people in the world expected Nick Foles to throw for 7 TD passes yesterday. As much of a Foles fan that I am, I still didn’t think he would dominate to that extent. 7 TDs, 0 INTs, and a perfect 158.3 passer rating are basically the greatest stats you could ask for from a QB. He literally did nothing wrong. He had more TDs than … Continue reading
Wow, that was a bad game. I mean that was really, really bad. The only touchdown for the Eagles came off a muffed snap on a punt late in the fourth quarter when the game was pretty much over anyway. I actually attended the game myself hoping that they would crush the lowly Giants, but I was met with a very unpleasant surprise. What happened to the Eagles’ “amazing” offense? It sure didn’t show up … Continue reading
