Eagles Defense Will Need to Have Statement Game Against Cowboys
Posted on 24. Oct, 2011 by Mike Burke.
There’s no denying the fact that the majority of the Eagles struggles have come on the defensive side of the ball this year. The offense hasn’t been stellar, but the defense has been far worse.

Can Brandon Graham Still Have an Impact During 2011 Season?
Posted on 24. Oct, 2011 by Mike Burke.

Posted on 27. Sep, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Although Michael Vick’s injury status was seriously downgraded when it was determined his hand is actually bruised not broken, you still have to wonder how this team would function without him. At this point, it’s not guaranteed that Vick will play on Sunday against the 49ers. Indications are that he will play, and you have [...]

Posted on 25. Sep, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Let me preface this whole piece by saying that I’ve never been this upset by an Eagles loss in a long time. Last week was the kind of game that I could have seen the Eagles losing and I wouldn’t have been super upset. This game is the opposite. I’ve spoken to people on the [...]

Are the Eagles Michael Vick’s Team?
Posted on 18. Sep, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Although the Eagles are loaded with talent, leadership is not something that has been clear as of late. Not too long ago, you had long time Eagles like Brian Dawkins, Jeremiah Trotter, Donovan McNabb, and Brian Westbrook. The Eagles have gotten a lot younger, so that clear cut leader hasn’t really existed. When looking for [...]

Posted on 11. Sep, 2011 by Mike Burke.
I don’t know if there has ever been another season for the Eagles where the expectations have been so high.
