There is no way in the world that the Eagles only deserved to have 2 people selected to the Pro Bowl this year. This is one of the most talented teams they have had in a while, yet only two people get selected as some of the best at their position? I just don’t understand that. The Pro Bowl is becoming less and less of a relevant idea and an interest in the NFL and … Continue reading
While it definitely wasn’t pretty, the Eagles defeated the Cowboys 24-22 to win the NFC East Championship and advance to the playoffs as the 3rd seed in the conference. While the Eagles were always winning, they never had more than a 10 point lead and often let the Cowboys get dangerously close to taking the lead.

Well, it turned out that the Eagles were winning by so much that the backups did indeed come in at the end. The Eagles completely destroyed the Bears on Sunday Night Football, defeating them 54-11. It was the second most points the Bears had given up in franchise history, … 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.
