Chip Kelly came to Philadelphia to make this team’s offense the best in the league. That’s his forte, using all sorts of crazy formations and plays to rack up a lot of yards and a lot of points as quickly as possible. This style of play isn’t for everyone, but Eagles Nation seems to have embraced it with open arms since he came here. Has it always been the best? No, but it’s always been … Continue reading
Another season and another disappointing end. Of course, anything except the Super Bowl is at least somewhat disappointing, but this time they failed to even make the postseason. They matched their 2013 record of 10-6, but the Cowboys had a breakout season and finished 12-4, winning the division, including the second of their head-to-head matchups. It was a tough way to see the season go, losing three of the final four games, including one against … Continue reading
One of the best things about sportswriting is getting to look back at all the predictions you made in the beginning of a season and see either how ridiculously wrong they were or how amazingly correct they were. In my case, there was a little bit of both. I went through some of my posts before the season started and compiled some of my predictions for things that would happen, such as their record, performance … Continue reading
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
