Tonight begins the new NFL season. That’s something I’m usually pretty excited for, but this year there’s something sort of missing. Every year for the last decade at this time, I’d be looking at the Philadelphia Eagles and deciding whether Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, and Brian Dawkins could win the division, win the NFC, or…
One thing that was odd about being on the road for three weeks and being very busy and distracted while we were in Virginia was that the end of the NFL season came and went without a chance to opine on it here. When I left, the Eagles had beaten the Giants to take control…
Well — here it is, the beginning of another NFL season. Last night's Steelers-Titans game was pretty entertaining to watch, though certain of the Steelers faithful must have had their hearts in their throats at certain points, I imagine. Going into the last several seasons, I used to think I knew where the Eagles would…
Last week, during their road-win over the Minnesota Vikings, the Philadelphia Eagles struggled offensively in the first half (especially against a good run defense), but rode an Assante Samuel INT-derived TD and a strong defensive effort to a slim lead at halftime. In the second half, Donovan McNabb and the Eagles offense got into gear…
As well as Mello and I get along here in vox-land, we were squarely in opposing cheering sections today as the Philadelphia Eagles traveled to Minnesota to face the NFC North champion Vikings in a Wild-Card playoff match-up. As an Eagles fan, it was a tense game. Even with the Eagles leading (16-14) in the…
The Eagles are making a strong case that they're the best bird-team in the NFL after back-to-back victories against the Atlanta Falcons and the Seattle Seahawks. Ryan Sacked The Eagles improved to 5-3, doing something they've occasionally faltered doing under Andy Reid: beating teams they should. The offense has been more productive (though it…
In an immensely entertaining game, the Dallas Cowboys won their home opener on Monday night, beating the Philadelphia Eagles 41-37 in a barnburner of a game that had just about a little bit of everything. Kick-return for a touchdown? Check. T.O. big bomb for TD? Check. Half-a-dozen lead changes? Check. End-zone fumble resulting in TD?…
That’s right. I’m stating it here. The Philadelphia Eagles are the last place team that no one wants to play. Compared to their other last place brethren (below are the records and season point differential), the Birdz are a juggernaut. Philadelphia Eagles 8 8 36Houston Texans 8 8 -5Chicago Bears 7 9 -14Baltimore…
