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
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
It didn’t take too long for the Eagles to fill up their roster with free agent rookies following the draft. They immediately signed 15 guys to their roster, which is a usual thing for teams to do after the draft concludes. While they didn’t sign any huge names, they got a few guys that could make a run at a roster spot once they finally cut it down to 53 (which won’t be for a … Continue reading
