Some Thoughts on NFL Championship Weekend
Posted on 17. Jan, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Although I’m looking forward to the championship games this Sunday, it’s still a little sad. No, not because the Eagles aren’t there. I’m over that. It’s sad because it’s the last weekend of the season where we’ll get to watch multiple NFL games on a Sunday. Oh well, we still have the Flyers and Sixers [...]

Andy Reid Will Start 2012 Season on the Hot Seat
Posted on 04. Jan, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Whether you agree with it or not, Andy Reid will return as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012. Jeffery Lurie made this announcement at his press conference this week, and it didn’t really come as much of a surprise. Lurie still believes in Reid, but he made it very clear how disappointed [...]

Eagles Offensive Line Needs to Step Up Against the Jets
Posted on 15. Dec, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Coming into the season, there were a lot of questions surrounding how well the offensive line would be able to protect the Eagles new $100 million asset. They had a new offensive line coach and were attempting to throw rookies into the starting lineup right out of the gate. All things considering, I’d personally say [...]

Evaluating Michael Vick’s Performance Against the Dolphins
Posted on 11. Dec, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Earlier this week, I wrote that Eagles quarterback Michael Vick needed to have a bounce back against the Dolphins. He didn’t have the kind of game I’d hoped for, but he did walk away with the win. One thing I didn’t take into consideration when talking about Vick having a good game was the play [...]

Eagles Defense Carries Them to 26-10 Win over Dolphins
Posted on 11. Dec, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Although it didn’t look good early, the Eagles were able to travel down to Miami and come back with a 26-10 win. Early in the first quarter, the Eagles had a punt blocked that the Dolphins were able to immediately turn into a touchdown and take a 7-0 lead. The touchdown came on a reception [...]

Michael Vick Needs a Bounce Back Game Against the Dolphins
Posted on 08. Dec, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Last season, we saw two different Michael Vick’s. We saw the Vick that can play like superman, and we saw the Vick that doesn’t make smart decisions with the football. The Eagles had a choice to make at the quarterback position in the offseason, and I think they handled it the right way. Unfortunately, we’re [...]

Brian Rolle Should Be Key Player for Eagles on Sunday
Posted on 08. Dec, 2011 by Mike Burke.
I haven’t followed the Dolphins all that closely, but I think the recent play of Reggie Bush has really helped the team find some success. He’ll never be what people thought he could be coming out of college, but he can be an extremely effective back when utilized properly. One thing that you can’t deny [...]

What Can We Expect From DeSean Jackson This Weekend?
Posted on 06. Dec, 2011 by Mike Burke.
DeSean Jackson has hit a bit of a rough patch. He’s been criticized, questioned, and it seems his frustration is starting to get the best of him. I never really believed that there was a possibility of the Eagles not resigning him until a few weeks ago. They have depth at the position, but I [...]

Invading the Nest – Interview with PhinPhanatic.com
Posted on 06. Dec, 2011 by Mike Burke.
As the Eagles get ready to take their talents (or lack of talents) to South Beach, I was able to ask Brian Miller of PhinPhanatic.com a series of questions about the upcoming matchup. Brian starts by reflecting on the Dolphins season thus far as well as the play of Reggie Bush. He then looks to [...]

Posted on 30. Nov, 2011 by Mike Burke.
On a short week, Keith Myers of 12thManRising.com was nice enough to answer us a series of questions about the upcoming Eagles and Seahawks match-up. The Seahawks have had some recent success so I start by asking what this can be attributed to. I also get his thoughts on both Tarvaris Jackson as well as [...]

Something Interesting to Think About Heading into Thursday’s Game
Posted on 29. Nov, 2011 by Mike Burke.
I don’t know about everybody else, but I was very excited about the fact that the Eagles had to face the NFC West this season. This is the same division that sent a team to the playoffs who finished 7-9 in 2010. When looking at the 2011 schedule before the season started, I chalked up [...]

Some Thoughts on the Future of the Eagles Coaching Staff
Posted on 29. Nov, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Throughout the season, Eagles fans have been calling for Andy Reid’s head. They had an extremely aggressive offseason, bringing in a ton of big name players, but the expectations haven’t been met. For the most part, I don’t think fans even care about who would be next in line. Instead, they just want Reid gone [...]
