Philly Reider: Blue Blood, New Blood
Posted on 03. Nov, 2009 by Tex.
After two mediocre outings with the Oakland Raiders and the Washington Redskins, the Eagles finally woke up from their slumber and chopped the knees of the New York Giants.

The third preseason game is in the books and only one more game remains before things really matter.

This is a large debate because many think that the [...]
