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
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
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
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
