Eagles Clinch A Playoff Berth
Well, the Eagles certainly made this one more interesting than it needed to be. After a dominating first half, the Birds decided to take the third quarter off and allow the Niners to climb back into what should have been a blowout. Regardless, the Ea...
Westbrook, Maclin Out; Kevin Curtis In
Word from Andy Reid today is that both Brian Westbrook and Jeremy Maclin will be out of Sunday’s big matchup with the Niners. Westy, due to his lingering post-concussion issues, was not medically cleared by doctors. He hasn’t suffered any...
Eagles Win A Crazy Game
This was one of those games. It had a little bit of everything. Long touchdown passes. Even longer punt returns. Horrible defense. Blown coverages. Dropped passes. Poor tackling. Weird bounces. Dumb penalties. Horrendous officiating. A fight. Whew!! ...
Eagles Dismantle Falcons
Guess what? The Eagles still know how to blow out opponents, and Michael Vick still knows how to score touchdowns. It was a nice change of pace from the last two weeks when the Birds had to narrowly escaped with victories. This one took a while to ge...
Michael Vick Scores First Touchdown Versus Falcons
We all knew this was gonna happen, right? Michael Vick’s long awaited return to Atlanta culminated with his first touchdown of the season, and his first rushing score since October of 2006. Vick took it in from five yards out to end a 12 play s...
Eagles Extend Brent Celek
The Eagles front office continues to lock up its young core of rising talent. On the heels of last week’s four-year extension of right tackle Winston Justice comes word today that tight end Brent Celek has inked a brand spanking new six-year de...
Eagles Wake Up In Time To Beat Redskins
Penalties. Red zone failures. Short-yardage struggles. Dropped passes. Missed tackles. Awful third down offense and defense. Botched special teams. No pass rush besides Trent Cole. A lack of emotion. Severely outcoached. Do these things sound familia...
Winston Justice Gets A New Contract
Justice has been served! Sorry, I couldn’t resist. The Eagles did right by Winston Justice today and awarded him a four-year contract extension. Justice has been perhaps the biggest surprise of the 2009 season. Many, myself included, assumed he...
Cheesesteak of the Week
Awarding cheesesteaks after a victory feels ten times better than after a loss. There are so many more candidates to choose from. While Sunday night’s win was far from perfect, it was easy to single out those deserving of a savory steak sandwic...
Eagles Win Their “Super Bowl”
Quintin Mikell called this game their “Super Bowl.” Well, the result turned out different than the last time the Eagles went to the big game. This time around, they managed to win. With lots of help from Jay Cutler, who missed at least th...
An Eagles Comeback Falls Short
I could spout a bunch of vitriol, but what would be the point? The 2009 Eagles just aren’t a very good team. Their execution is poor, their fundamentals are non-existent and their lack of intelligence is alarming. Due to a spate of injuries, in...
Joselio Hanson Is Outta Here!!
What a day. First, the Eagles lost cornerback Ellis Hobbs for the season, and now Joselio Hanson is off the active roster for at least a month. According to Geoff Mosher of delawareonline.com, it could be a violation of the league’s substance a...
Eagles Place Ellis Hobbs On IR
The Eagles have placed kick returner/cornerback Ellis Hobbs on injured reserve after he suffered a severe neck injury that will require surgery. This sucks. I like Hobbs and we all saw the last two weeks how dangerous he can be as a return man. The j...
Eagles Outwitted By Cowboys
It’s a game of inches. If the Eagles didn’t know that already, they do after tonight’s disappointing loss to the resurgent Cowboys. For all intents and purposes, the outcome was decided on a 4th and inches spot. Referee Walt Coleman...
Westbrook Out Again
I guess that precautionary rest for Brian Westbrook on Friday was a little more serious than Andy Reid let on. According to multiple sources, Westy will not be available for tonight’s crucial showdown with the Cowboys. Since the Eagles are lear...
Eagles Crush Giants
Maybe I should pick the Eagles to lose more often. Finally, after eight weeks, the Birds put together a fantastic gameplan in all three phases and executed it to near perfection. Obviously, I’m glad my prediction of a Big Blue victory was compl...
Eagles Dispose of Hapless Redskins
It was another far from perfect win for the Eagles over an unbelievably bad football team. This week’s victim was the Redskins, who just can’t get out of their own way. The Skins were gracious enough to commit four turnovers on a night w...
Kevin Curtis Has Knee Surgery
To no one’s surprise, Kevin Curtis had his problematic knee scoped. According to Andy Reid, he will be out for an undetermined amount of time. He could be back this season, but don’t count on it. Even if Curtis does return, his role on th...
Omar Gaither Out For Season
More bad news for the Eagles. At his weekly presser, Andy Reid revealed kinda sorta starting middle linebacker Omar Gaither has a Lis Franc sprain that will require surgery, thus ending his 2009 season. And the hits keep coming! First Stew, now Omar....
Eagles Trade For Linebacker Will Witherspoon
According to PE.com, the Eagles have acquired Rams linebacker Will Witherspoon in exchange for wide receiver Brandon Gibson and a 5th round draft pick in 2010. The Birds needed to do something to improve their beleaguered linebacker position. Withers...
The Eagles Are An Embarrassment
This is what happens when a “good” team doesn’t take a “bad” team seriously. The Eagles said all the right things during the week in preparation for their game with the Raiders. Things like “we don’t look at ...
Eagles Workout Marcus McCauley
With the Eagles secondary depleted by injuries, the team had ex-Vikings/Lions cornerback Marcus McCauley in for a look today. This info comes from Adam Caplan, via his Twitter. McCauley, 6′1″ 203 lbs, was released by the Lions on Septembe...
Eagles Crush Bucs 33-14
At least I won’t have to repaint my truck or watch Cutthroat Island. Whew! The Eagles disposed of the Bucs today, but were hardly impressive in doing so. McNabb and Jeremy Maclin were the offense. The defense had trouble with a quarterback maki...
Curtis Out, Maclin In
It looks like rookie Jeremy Maclin has supplanted Kevin Curtis as the starting X receiver. It seemed like only a matter of time before this happened, but Curtis’ bum knee certainly made Reid’s decision easier. It’s obvious the futur...
Kevin Kolb Wins NFC Offensive Player of the Week
Oh, the Kevin Kolb haters will love this. According to Jeff McLane via his Twitter, Kolb will be named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance last Sunday versus the Chiefs. He completed 24/34 for 327 yards, two touchdowns and zero inter...
Say Hello to Jeremiah Trotter, Again
If there is a record for the number of times one player has rejoined the same team I think Jeremiah Trotter just broke it. For a third time in his on again, off again NFL career, Trotter is an Eagle. According to FOX sports Jay Glazer (via Twitter), ...
Eagles Blowout Chiefs, Move to 2-1
The Eagles needed a win today and they got one. All the hullabaloo surrounding the debut of Michael Vick was pushed aside by Kevin Kolb, DeSean Jackson, Shady McCoy, Brent Celek and the return of the signature attacking defense that we have all come ...
Westbrook, Curtis, Bowe Among Inactives
To no one’s surprise, Brian Westbrook and Kevin Curtis are out today. Which means a pair of rooks will start in their place. The future is now for Maclin and Shady. In addition, the Chiefs will be without stud pass catcher Dwayne Bowe. Point fo...
Eagles Work Out Jeremiah Trotter
File this under the WTF!!! category, but according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter (via his Twitter), the Eagles worked out retired linebacker and ex-Bird great, Jeremiah Trotter today. Just filed this blast from the past to espn: Eagles worked out...
Eagles Add Another Tight End
The Eagles continue to make moves to the practice squad. According to PE.com, today they dumped tight end Rob Myers and picked up another tight end — Martin Rucker. Here’s what Rucker wrote on his Twitter: I’m a Philadelphia Eagle n...
