Eagles Blow Chance at #2 Seed, But Could Regain #2 Benefits Saturday Night; Host 49ers Sunday at 4:30 PM
When Nick Sirianni decided to rest his starters earlier in the week, he knew the risk. He also knew there was a path where outside help could open the door to the NFC’s #2 seed. That help came when the Detroit Lions beat the Chicago Bears in Chicago on a last-second field goal. All the Eagles had to do was take care of business. They didn’t. Instead, Philadelphia lost shortly afterward to the hapless Washington Commanders, led by journeyman 39-year-old third-string quarterb

The Same Reasons Nick Sirianni Isn’t Taken Seriously Are the Same Reasons John Madden Once Wasn’t
October 27, 2021 was a misty day filled with clouds and temps pushed 60 in the Philadelphia area. It was the day I turned to my wife and said the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Nick Sirriani, is certifiably insane. I wanted him gone. Nick Sirianni went on to explain that he had put a picture of a flower in front of the 2021 Philadelphia Eagles, using it as a metaphor for what the team was building. The roots, he said, had to grow outward first, unseen, before anyt

You Don’t Need Style Points: Eagles Win 13–12 on Defense, Lane Johnson Needs to Return
In what is becoming an all-too-common theme, the Philadelphia Eagles once again survived a tale of two halves. The Eagles held on to take down the Buffalo Bills 13–12 in a massive late-December showdown, sealing the win when Josh Allen failed to connect with a wide-open receiver on a two-point conversion attempt in the corner of the end zone. The Philadelphia Eagles dominated defensively from start to finish, sacking Josh Allen five times and doing just enough offensively in

Eagles Playoff Scenarios: The Wild Path to the No. 1 Seed and Why the Colts Matter Tonight
You can hear the great Andy Williams singing it, "It's the most wonderful time of the year." Well, in my case, I am obsessed with playoff scenarios and seeding. On Saturday night, the Philadelphia Eagles became the first NFC East team to repeat as division champions in more than two decades. Fittingly, the first since the Eagles themselves pulled it off over 20 years ago. Even more incredible? The No. 1 seed is still technically on the table. Is it a long shot? Absolut

Prepare the Floats™! Eagles Go Back-to-Back in NFC East, Clinch Home Playoff Game
Prepare the Floats™! It wasn’t perfect, but the Philadelphia Eagles walked into their NFC East rival’s building and took care of business in what felt like a home game. With the win, the Eagles became the first back-to-back NFC East champions in more than two decades. Before Saturday, the last team to pull off consecutive division titles was Philadelphia itself during the 2001–2004 run under Andy Reid. Defensively, the Birds were once again rock solid, holding Washington Co

Eagles Deliver Near-Perfect Game, Embarrass Hapless Raiders 31–0
After a horrendous loss and performance in San Diego on national television, Super Bowl MVP quarterback Jalen Hurts proved once again why he the greatest QB in franchise history. Following last Monday's loss, he said it plainly: it’s about how we respond ...how I respond- to adversity. I know it's the Raiders, but I wasn’t one of the doubters, and shame on you if you ever questioned the greatest quarterback in Eagles franchise history. Jalen Hurts has earned a very long lea

Time to Park the Floats? Five Hurts Turnovers Sink Eagles in Horrid Loss to Chargers
Hearts are broken across Philadelphia tonight, but even in this mess of a loss, there were a few sparks worth clinging to. Jalen Hurts delivered the worst performance of his career, which included 5 turnovers,, yet somehow still uncorked a few big-time throws, including that ridiculous 3rd-and-16 laser in overtime that briefly revived the city. Overall, Hurts’ performance was nothing short of brutal- a stat even showed that if he had spiked the ball every play, his QBR would

Eagles Wear Black to Mourn the Loss of Their Offense
There aren’t enough furious adjectives in the entire Webster’s Dictionary to properly eulogize what the Philadelphia Eagles tried to pass off as professional football this past Black Friday. If the black uniforms were meant to symbolize intimidation, they instead felt like funeral attire because the offense flatlined somewhere between the first snap and whatever that was they called a game plan. I’m not sure if they were just bloated or stuffed from a tremendous amount of Tha
