Yes, the Eagles blew the lead and almost lost. Yes, there have been a lot of struggles this year. But the Eagles are 4-1 and are winning with a lot of backups in. This game showed a lot about the Eagles’ style of winning: It doesn’t matter how, just get the win. Here are ten important things to takeaway from the game on Sunday: 1. The special teams is for real They now have a … Continue reading
Special teams once again receives an A+ for the week, but everything else had their struggles. After scoring another two return TDs and setting a bunch of crazy and specific records, their offense fell flat…again. This can’t continue to be a regular thing or the Eagles won’t win many more games. Something needs to change about their game plan because the defense and special teams are carrying this team, something I absolutely never thought I’d … Continue reading
In no way would I consider that a pretty game. In fact, it was ugly until about the fourth quarter. It was extremely worrisome as an Eagles fan and a big advocate of their chances to do well this year. I honestly think they’ll be one of the best teams in the league. Can they do that if they play like this? Not at all. In fact, if they play like this against any other … Continue reading
The Eagles started the preseason with a pair of games in which they gave up exorbitant amounts of points, but their past two games have been excellent defensively and have accomplished exactly what they were looking for: improvement. This shellacking of the local Jets was not exactly necessary, but it sure did prove a point. The Eagles have a ton of depth across the board. It’s going to be a very tough decision to cut … Continue reading
Now the first thing that all people who didn’t watch the game will be thinking when they see the score is “31-21? That doesn’t sound like domination to me.” Well, that’s because you didn’t watch the game. The Eagles turned it around after two poor defensive performances in the preseason to bounce back and get a really nice win for the PA bragging rights. The Eagles’ backups were scoring even when the Steelers kept their … Continue reading
Well, the offense looks good, but the defense needs a lot of work. I think there were many improvements on the offensive side in this game, especially guys that are going to be playing a lot in the regular season like Nick Foles and Jordan Matthews. But the defense has continued to give up tons of points throughout the game, no matter who is out there. I know it’s just the preseason, but something has … Continue reading
Yes, I am a bit behind on this recap, but I was unable to watch the game live and had to watch the replay on NFL Network the next day. Not the best option since the announcers were Bears announcers, but better than nothing, right? I’m not really worried by the fact they lost. I do recognize though that they still have a lot to work on and not even the guys who are going … Continue reading
They were doing so well…why’d it have to end? I guess all good things have to come to an end at some point. After losing last night to the Bulls by a score of 79-68, they will be unable to defend their Summer League Championship that they won in Orlando one week ago. But one championship is enough for now, and definitely a step in the right direction. They have to let other teams win … Continue reading
After winning the championship and going 4-1 overall in the Orlando Summer League, the Sixers move onto the Las Vegas Summer League with hopes to fare in a similar fashion. Believe me, they’re not trying to win a championship, they’re just trying to get a look at a bunch of new guys. If they win in the process, then great for them. But it’s not really a necessity. 15 members of the roster for this section … Continue reading
The championships have already begun to pour in for the Sixers. Ok, so it was just one summer league championship, but it still counts somewhere. The Sixers finished the Orlando Summer League with a 4-1 record and a league-high 29 points. Their championship win came over the Grizzlies decisively by a score of 91-75. Their only loss came in their first game against the hometown Magic by just a 6 point margin. Not bad at … Continue reading
