Comments Off on Why Nick Foles will be the Eagles’ starting QB in 2015

There really shouldn’t be discussion over who the Eagles’ starting quarterback will be going into next season, but nonetheless, it seems as though people are talking about it anyway. Will it be Nick Foles? Will it be Mark Sanchez? Will it be Marcus Mariota or some other rookie from the draft? There’s really only one clear choice for next year’s starting job and that’s Foles. Foles definitely struggled this year compared to last season. Last … Continue reading →

Comments Off on Fun with Statmuse: Sixers roster career highs

Just a couple of days ago I was given a beta key to use the new website statmuse, which could easily be the greatest statistics website for sports that I’ve ever seen. For those who haven’t heard of it, what it does is you type a question into the search bar and it immediately gives you the data. Sounds easy enough, right? Well that’s because it is. And it has so much data. I could … Continue reading →

Five Eagles named to Pro Bowl, Maclin and Cox left out

Comments Off on Five Eagles named to Pro Bowl, Maclin and Cox left out

The annual Pro Bowl is coming up, and the NFL announced the list of players yesterday. Of course, it’s no longer split up into the usual NFC and AFC teams, but instead just a big group of players in which two retired players will have a fantasy draft of the players. Does this make it more fun? Yes and no. Yes because other people think so, but definitely no in my opinion. The Pro Bowl … Continue reading →

Eagles are eliminated from the playoffs, but it’s not the end of the world

Comments Off on Eagles are eliminated from the playoffs, but it’s not the end of the world

The headline says it all. Calm down Eagles fans! Seriously, it’s as if Andy Reid were still here. All I keep seeing are calls for either Chip Kelly or Howie Roseman to be fired (or both), or for the Eagles to trade everyone to move up to get Marcus Mariota in the draft. Anyone who believes they should do any of these three things is absolutely clueless. I know you’re mad, but that doesn’t mean … Continue reading →

Eagles playoff scenarios: detailed situations of how they make the postseason

Comments Off on Eagles playoff scenarios: detailed situations of how they make the postseason

The Eagles stand at 9-5 after 15 weeks of the regular season, a very good record. Except this year, it may not be good enough to make the playoffs, even if they win the next two games. After a loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night, they relinquished their ability to control their own destiny into the playoffs, meaning they’ll need some help from other teams. Suddenly, the losses to San Francisco and Arizona are … Continue reading →

Who has really been better: Nick Foles or Mark Sanchez?

After the game this past Sunday night, I was crushed at how disappointing the Eagles’ performance against the Cowboys was. They came out flat from the beginning and were playing catch-up all night. They did manage to come back from the original 21-0 deficit they put themselves into, taking the lead 24-21. But then the Cowboys marched right down the field and took the lead back, never relinquishing it again. Who’s fault was it? After … Continue reading →

Cowboys, Romo overpower Eagles to 38-27 win

Comments Off on Cowboys, Romo overpower Eagles to 38-27 win

The Eagles can no longer control their own destiny to make the playoffs. That’s what a loss cost them last night in Philadelphia. Sure, they have the advantage in the division in that if both the Eagles and Cowboys finish with the same record, the Eagles would win the division, but that’s not enough. Philadelphia needs help. When I say they need help, I’m not just talking about playoff scenarios, I’m talking about on their actual team. … Continue reading →

Who needs to step up for Eagles to beat Seahawks

Comments Off on Who needs to step up for Eagles to beat Seahawks

It’s just two days until the game that could easily decide the second seed in the NFC this year: Seahawks vs. Eagles. Despite the fact that this game is occurring at Lincoln Financial Field and not at the home of the 12th man, everyone outside of the Eagles still seems to be picking the Seahawks as the guaranteed victors. I’m not saying it’s a bad prediction, but it may be unfair to completely rule out … Continue reading →

Why the Eagles might be able to re-sign Jeremy Maclin without overspending

1 Comment

Jeremy Maclin has proved that he is a beast and one of the best wide receivers in the league. Countless “experts” and fans (and even some “expert fans”) said that the Eagles’ offense wouldn’t be the same without DeSean Jackson. It’s true to some extent…they don’t have one of the best deep threats in the league. But that doesn’t mean their offense has taken a hit without him in it. In fact, it has done … Continue reading →

Why the Cowboys are going to collapse…once again

Comments Off on Why the Cowboys are going to collapse…once again

So this whole season has been about how the Cowboys have come out of the blue as one of the best teams in the NFL and have taken the league by storm, leading the pack in the NFC. That is, until this past Monday where the Cowboys lost…on Monday Night Football…to the Redskins. While the game did go to overtime and wasn’t a blowout or anything, the game exposed Dallas as a team. They really … Continue reading →
