The Game Within the Game
Posted on 02. Oct, 2010 by BirdsFan.
As Week 4 approaches and the return of Donovan McNabb looms there are many nuances to this game. All I have heard all week is about whether Donovan will be booed upon entering the stadium on Sunday, and quite frankly I hope he is cheered because that is what he deserved. The man is arguably [...]

Posted on 14. Sep, 2010 by BirdsFan.
Week one in the NFL has ended, and the Birds did not exactly dazzle on the field. Along with a poor performance on Sunday, the injury bug has already bitten the Eagles.

Is Michael Vick a good fit in Buffalo?
Posted on 11. Nov, 2009 by BirdsFan.
Most likely. Everyone is hearing about Vick leaving, but honestly, how will that affect us at all? I mean, the man has taken 18 snaps all season. I say, the best path for Vick is for him to leave. In Philly he is sitting on the bench, only coming in 1-4 times a game. In [...]

Today, Donovan posted on his blog saying that he is “ready to move forward.” I believe that with what the Eagles have done in the offseason, [...]

If you watched the second day of the draft, you may have been frustrated by how the Eagles traded back on multiple occasions. However, I think most people are viewing Sunday and the draft as a whole a success for the Eagles. The Eagles took the following players Sunday: 5 17 (153) C. Ingram TE [...]

Eagles take McCoy with second pick
Posted on 25. Apr, 2009 by BirdsFan.
With their second selection in the NFL draft, the Eagles assessed their need at the running back position by selecting LeSean McCoy out of Pittsburgh. McCoy was the best available running back on the board so it is definitely a nice addition after missing out on the “big three” running backs that were taken in [...]
