If Michael Vick Can’t Go, LeSean McCoy Must Carry Eagles Offense
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 [...]

Eagles Red Zone Struggles Continue
Posted on 26. Sep, 2011 by Chris Lex.
Different year, same result. That’s the story of the Philadelphia Eagles when it comes to the red zone. The Eagles have phenomenal talent on the offensive side of the ball, but for some reason the coaching staff does not know how to utilize their weapons when it matters most. The Eagles had an opportunity to [...]

If Michael Vick Isn’t Ready to Go, Who Should Start for the Eagles?
Posted on 26. Sep, 2011 by Mike Burke.
After suffering a concussion last weekend, Michael Vick suffered yet another injury in the loss to the Giants. Vick has broken his non-throwing hand, and his status moving forward is unknown. Before the season started, everyone was aware that the backup quarterback position was an important one for the Eagles. With Vick’s style of play, [...]

Eagles Fall to Giants in Home Opener in 29-16 Loss
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 [...]

Welcome to favorites week at BirdsFan.com! If you want to make your life easy by skipping this article, I’ll go ahead and tell you that I’m not taking a single underdog. I know, I know. It’s very boring of me. But, what can I say? I’m not going to pick someone I don’t think will [...]

Invading the Nest: Interview with UltimateNYG.com
Posted on 23. Sep, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Last year, I had the opportunity to interview Glenn Warciski of UltimateNYG.com prior to the Eagles match-up with the Giants. Despite DeSean Jackson breaking Glenn and every other Giants fans heart, he was kind enough to participate in the segment again this year. In this week’s Invading the Nest, we get Glenn to touch upon [...]

Around the League: Week 2 Recap
Posted on 21. Sep, 2011 by Brennen Dickerson.
This may be one of my best starts yet. Normally I stumble during one of the first two weeks. This season I went 12-4 each week. Here’s hoping the streak continues. It was a fun week 2 in the NFL with lots of points scored and not a lot of defense. However, where there was [...]

Studs and Duds From Eagles Loss to the Falcons
Posted on 21. Sep, 2011 by Andrew Gross.
Studs Jason Peters Peters was a beast on Sunday night, pure and simple. He owned Ray Edwards all night. He got downfield in the passing game, including Maclin’s 35-yard touchdown catch where he paved the way with a great block. He dominated in the run game as well, consistently giving McCoy lanes to run to [...]

Looking at the Positives and Negatives from the Eagles in Week Two
Posted on 20. Sep, 2011 by Brennen Dickerson.
I hate night games. I really do. Well, I hate when the Eagles play night games. Why? Because no matter what the outcome is, I will be up late thinking about the game. Losses are the worst. Losses that shouldn’t have been loses are the absolutely worst. The Eagles had every right to win this [...]

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 [...]

Around the League, Week 2 Picks
Posted on 17. Sep, 2011 by Brennen Dickerson.
The giddiness is still very much alive. I just love this time of year. We have baseball and division races all over the place. We have college football (Go Temple! Beat Penn State!). And most importantly, we have the NFL. The giddiness will last all season. As with each week, I’m here to bring you [...]

Around the League: Week One Recap
Posted on 15. Sep, 2011 by Brennen Dickerson.
Talk about a wild week one. You had some great defenses, some brilliant offenses, upsets, games coming down to the wire, and record setting performances. Man, I missed the NFL. Sign me up for ten more years of this. All in all, yours truly had a pretty good week. I’m not pleased with a few [...]
